I don't think there's quite anything wrong with treating this show negatively, at least certain portions. It's clear that they had to cut and compress things into 12 episodes but that doesn't mean what we got worked out for the better. The pacing just fell apart after episode 10 (specifically when we went from Kaoru wildly confessing to Rii-chan and it suddenly being months later after the commercial) and the show suffered for it.
Personally the last half of episode 12 is practically inexcusable. Hell, the whole situation hurts my head thinking about it. It's why I can't willingly tell people to watch this show, the end just really fucking ruins it.
