To be honest, I can see this happening to a lot of people. Imo, the show doesn't really find it's solid footing until 13 through 20 which I really enjoyed. Early on, you have a small cast of characters, and a handful of villains who seem... unmotivated? I'm not sure what the right word is. But after 13, two of the minor villains have new purpose, and by the end of 20, all the main core of villains have found a new raison d'être going forward.
And a lot of the same is true of the core and secondary protagonists. You get a much better sense of the characters, the backstories, their motivations by the end of 20.
I'm not saying any of that is a good thing. Needing 20 episodes into an anime for it to make the jump from watchable but meh to solid (imo) is not a great concept, but those where the episodes that hooked me personally and felt like the show came into it's own.
That said, I totally get if people aren't willing to sit through like 7 hours of TV for that kind of thing.
