Well for one, given the time it aired, it obviously wasn't a Kids Slot on the Kids Station.
Regardless, the NaruTaru anime probably threw people a few off by 2 things:
1) Skipping the violent confrontation on the flight back that was in the manga, which introduced the life-or-death stakes that were involved in this series early on.
2) Toning down the first violent confrontation by a large degree. No blood, we don't even see grey-haired boy impaled, etc.
This made it easy to wonder if they weren't trying to make a "kindler, gentler" version of NaruTaru for some reason.
