It's a typical shounen with all it's troupes and cringy narrative. The start shouldn't shock people. It actually manages to grab people quickly enough compared to other shounens at their beginning.
Over the years the story matures and develops accompanying their audience. The beginning was for teens and now it still has the same fans and followers that are in their thirties.
It's hard for shows that are so long lived to maintain their engagement.
