Depends on the audience. You may not like the execution for these shows, but that doesn't mean others didn't like them. Especially if these shows like naruto are more marketed for children (or more like teens) in japan.

I am not sure if it's fair to compare series with different premises and different style of executions with each other. Those 3 series may have been well executed for you, but i don't see many similarities otherwise.

edit: I liked last seasons Hyouka and Tari Tari for their execution. While theese 2 series have some similarities in their basic premise (both were essentially "coming of age" stories in a high school settings and it was mostly set in a club), but the way how the stories were told was very different.
