So its black humor thats never really capitalized on rolled together with fanfic material and every shonen trope out there? That works, but its not very original and seems to compensate by jumping around alot and trying to give characters a deep emotional set, but its done to fast to allow any of that to sink in. Quite simply, im finding fault with the telling rather than the story.
But at any rate, I can see from your list of titles you would rate a 10/10 that our tastes in anime are quite different.

Please tell me your watching the sub? I got the DVD's yesterday (and am now watching the show for an 11th time
) and been flicking back and forth between the two language tracks and the dub is TERRIBLE. Not just the usual 'bland voice acting' complaint either, they totally changed Otonashi's personality and I think thats going to ruin alot of his character motivation later on.
Of course, the official sub track isnt a whole lot better. I got up to about halfway through episode 4 and i was like 'dont ruin the Yui-nyan bit, dont ruin the Yui-nyan bit', know what they did? They ruined the Yui-nyan bit with a crappy westernization. I keep saying it, official sub tracks need to stop westernizing Japanese language jokes becasue all that achieves is to make them unfunny.
I mean seriously, if people are going to choose sub over dub consistently, they are going to end up with at least some knowledge of how Japanese works, and that joke is Japanese 101.
