No wonder that most of animes airing on Noitamina block have 11 episodes. Why is that?

And so far, none of spring animes airing 24-26 episodes. I think it's coronavirus to blame for shorter episodes this year.

That’s something I’ve been wondering about myself for the longest time. I just find 11 episodes to be a strange episode count

Well, aside from the kids' shows like Shadowverse, we'll get Fruits Basket and Kingdom running for 2 cours (and most likely Major 2nd).

The first episode didn't really hook me, the MC seems really unlikeable. Hopefully they'll flesh him out more in the remaining 10 episodes.

Single cour productions have been the standard for well over a decade at this point, not sure why you feel the need to bring this up every few days. If anything the effect Covid-19 will have on episodes is delaying production by weeks or months, like what happened with Railgun T this past month.
