Well.. the story is taken from a beloved visual ero-game so there's some slack cut for the original anime adaptation because of that. Unfortunately, with its one-season length - many aspects of the story were over-compressed. That coupled with the character design style that some find hard to take turned some folks off. I was also iffy on the animation quality itself (on-model problems, jerky animation, deformation). The hero was generally considered almost "walking dead" (classic no-personality ero-game lead).
I don't know.. I really managed to enjoy the series when I saw it for the first time because it was an early experience in the kind of story anime could tell that I wasn't finding elsewhere. Since then.... and with the advent of Kanon2006 - I find it hard to even fire it up to watch for research :P
The sole piece I like better in the original series at this point is the way they handled "the clock" events and the recording on it.
