I'm reaching a little here, but I couldn't get into Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. I gave it around 10 episodes IIRC and just didn't like any of the characters or find the plot very interesting. It's possible the English VAs had something to do with it too; I normally watch in Japanese but I was watching FMA with friends that don't like subs.

I was surprised because it's ranked so highly among anime.

The dub is better, IMO. FMA is also a slow burn. There are 64 episodes instead of a standard 50 and they do take their time ramping it up. Once it did get properly cooking it held my attention in a vise grip and became one of my very favorite animes.
