A generic phrase used to describe a lot of media, and I'm certainly among those who have used it, is "It had some good ideas, but..." and them something along the line of "needs more fleshing out/limited expression/rushed/budget cuts/etc". I mean, that's the most common criticism I've seen for really damn good anime like Angel Beats. Cowboy Bebop strikes me as an inversion of this.

InAnimete: Part 14 - Chobits
Oh, Chobits. A show about walking, talking computers who look like attractive young women. It is a recipe for shit. I have generally mixed feelings about the show, mainly because I feel the show really finds its feet halfway through, but overall I like it. That said, it has some real fucking problems, mainly with objectification and poor characterisation. This is gonna go some strange goddamn places. Consider yourself warned.
