I love this show, even if it is not for everyone! This is one of the shows that I love, and I think I understand its low score. Some things that I think people might find off-putting: - CGDCT in general - huge cast, too little time with everyone - feels like a teaser or a pilot, only setting up things, or just a sneak peek, but no real payoff To which I would reply:- you should read the booklet/pamphlet for it, after/before watching the show, with the descriptions of the characters and the background story
- watch the show twice, to get familiar with its characters and what is happening
- I even found myself a payoff or a message in it, which is: appreciating that modern Japan is a peaceful place, without war

The things I love about this show are:
- its message
- it is energetic and fast-paced
- the genres: CGDCT, humor, SoL, action

Every bad show is someone's favorite. Laidbackers is mine. I don't even think that it is a bad show, although I think that it is not a "just watch it" show, since it doesn't spend enough time with the characters for the viewers to get familiar with them.
