The only voice that really counts to the anime industry are the sales figures and the response from the Japan viewing audience. They're finding the series very watchable.... the feelings on Kirino are more mixed I'm gathering (simply because of viewer access to the light novels and manga).

Judging by the 5th floor at the Akiba ToranoAna (and other such places) Kirino is plenty popular in Japan. In fact, all of the girls on this show seem to be astonishingly popular among the target audience, based on the fact that I assume they're most of the clientele on the 5th floor at ToranoAna and this was undoubtedly the most popular show used as subject material there.
