Do you really expect a deep, intellectual story from a 13 episode anime? Come on man...
While I found this show to be entertaining, I've come to expect the least out of anything with under 25 episodes. Or maybe I've just become jaded.
You have. There are a number of wonderfully thought provoking anime under 25 episodes. Let's see... Haibane Renmei, Lain, Paranoia Agent, Eden of the East, Kino's Journey, Asatte no Houkou, Shigofumi, Spice and Wolf, Baccano, Steins;Gate... probably quite a few more than aren't rising to mind immediately. And don't get me started on all of those that I wouldn't consider 'intellectual' but still highly entertaining with less than 26 episodes.
Indeed I have, with good reason too. While naming a good, thoughtful anime with less than 25-26 episodes isn't very hard (AnoHana and Haruhi come to mind), rattling off a list of AFWUL 1 season anime that's about 100x as long is easy. That is why I've come to expect the worst. Having high expectations with the mass quantities of shit produced these days is silly.
