I take it this is the broadcast version you're watching (and using it for this review), and the home video/blu-ray release will fix those animation problems, right?
If this is the final product and those degraded animation quality appeared on blu-ray, then I can facepalm.
Disclaimer: this anime doesn't appeal to me (nor do I have any plan to watch it), but reading the review and the part I quoted above, makes me wonder if this anime you're using to review is the TV broadcast version, and not the final product that'll appear on home video/blu-ray with the bad animation on there.

Very few BD releases fix major problems with animation, a lot of the time they'll just clean up some off model characters, adjust the scale/size and touch up background art and colouring.

If you think this is a B for the story then certainly you don't know what they did with it.
They even skipped an entire mini arc not to mention 1/3 of the material in general.
Many important things we didn't even see.

Will 2.5 Dimensional Seduction receive an end-of-season review?

This series from the same original author as Our Last Crusade, and despite a completely different plot it has a very similar style and feel to it. I found it to be barely-passable as a low-mid tier offering and agree that the technical merits deteriorate as the series wore on. (Unfortunately, much like OLC.)

(1) Crunchyroll does NOT update the shows in their catalog with the BD/DVD version. And for TV anime, reviewers review whatever version is in official sites, not whatever appears in pirate sites.
(2) If an anime has horrible art and animation in the broadcast version, it should be called out. The streaming services who paid the licensor are most likely using the broadcast version of the show for simulcast, and that version was the one that was watched by the majority of paying CR subscribers. Studios shouldn't be passing off sloppy work for TV broadcast. This isn't 2006 anymore.
(3) With studios being overburdened by projects and BD/DVD sales being surpassed by streaming and some shows outright NOT releasing home video anymore, are they even fixing up animation errors? This isn't 2006 anymore.
(4) With respect to "Why Does Nobody Remember Me in This World", the show has massive art and animation issues since Episode 4 that they would need substantial amount of rework to get it to a watchable state.
