Probably next to none. There's reality, and then there's "2ch reality" (a.k.a. blogger reality). People on 2ch like to "rage" because it's an environment where you can act that way and be applauded for it. Bloggers like to play up "2ch reality" because it makes for good headlines and brings in the hits. But reality is much more mundane. You can't take 2ch rage at face value. (They'll act like it's such a huge travesty, and they'll still be first in line to pre-order...)

Any particular reason you were expecting better? I'd say this is a really good result for a late-night show from a slightly-less-well-known studio (i.e. not Kyoto Animation) on a first season. If this holds up for all 6 volumes, it'd definitely put them in the top 10% of all shows premiered in the last few years. So I imagine they're pleased. What were you comparing it to?
