I agree with the general negative sentiment regarding DR. The show felt like you had a bunch of good building blocks, but those building blocks consisted of concrete slabs, lego bricks, RAM chips, ink, and raw milk in an uncohesive whole. Unika manages to outdo May in being the worst written GG char, making Nerville an allegory for right-wing politicians doesn't really make sense when he has an actual good point regarding how dangerous and uncontrolled the sorcerers really are, I have yet to find any angle to make the whole alien ship stuff have any real contribution to the narrative besides looking cool... This show needs a fix fic or smth.
I disagree with that you can justify the show sucking with that it's hampered by being a FG when it's not a FG, but an anime. If GG canon is somehow so unconductive to story-telling (it's not), then make the spin-off non-canon instead of giving the fans DR.
