People bash it because it is objectively not very good.

The first episode takes 20 minutes establishing a premise (Fubuki wants to be Akagi's escort ship) that could have been demonstrated in 5. The writing is mostly a rehash of quotes from the game, rather than expanding on and deepening the characters, the majority of which are not introduced and are only seen in the background.

As someone who likes anime in general, a major factor I look for in a series is 'can I share this with my friends?'  If the series is only for people who've played the game, it's not even a good introduction to the franchise for people unfamiliar with it.

It's a wasted opportunity to spread their influence with a story that people unfamiliar with the game could relate to.
