Ditto with Cinderella Girls -- while giving the Producer a face and a personality worked surprisingly well (the staff themselves were surprised themselves at the Producer's popularity), it was a big gamble too, as it could easily just devolve into an idol harem.
The Kantai Collection anime suffered from similar, if even
worse production compromises. You can see that Kadokawa desperately wanted this to work, and they tried to tread on as few toes while trying to please everyone... which just raised a ruckus anyway from more finicky watchers anyway.
Not that there weren't legitimate complaints (pacing for example, consistent mood another), they tend to get drowned out by the people raging on, say, Fubuki being the MC, and not their own character of choice...
