But you're saying we can't criticize it for being boring because the story has just started, and we've already expressed that we didn't like the sprite mixing becuase it looks very ugly. So either get the story to a point where you're willing to accept criticism, or stop using that excuse.
Periodicals and episodes face a unique challenge, they need to make things interesting every time to keep their readership/watchers interested. Look at a how books begin, if they're of a merit onto their own, the first paragraph is enough to suck you into the rest of the story. If the first chapter is boring, then second chapter is boring why do we want to read the third chapter? It's established a pattern of being boring and we don't want to read it.
Do you see what I'm saying? Your excuse that it's not developed along in the story to argue the merits of the story means nothing to a reader. We're bored now, why should we stick around just because you promise it gets better? Heck, give us something NOW that can prove your literary or graphical talent to make us want to come back.
