The main flaw I noticed with the review is the comment about it being an "uninspired execution of the source material". Beyond the simple "what is uninspired supposed to mean", it's a bit suspect because a) he doesn't know the source material to start with but just guesses it's similar, b) he doesn't talk about the branching structure of the anime presentation (which is quite unique to this show), and c) all of the things he complains about (the omnibus format, the omake, the sex scenes, etc.) are the very things that set it apart from every other run-of-the-mill eroge adaptation out there. I'm not sure that combining all the routes somehow and removing the ero content would have made it more "inspired" (again, what does that even mean?).

Other than that... a lot of people couldn't get over the omnibus format, found the omake jarring, and couldn't take the show seriously because of the sex. I don't agree... but it's an opinion. Some of the comments are a bit borderline ("utter lack of classs" and "if it is softcore porn one is looking for" for example), but this is the way people like to write reviews for some reason. It's no better/worse than whatever reviews you might find in your local paper. That's why I generally never read them and just watch whatever I damn well please.
