I watched the first four episodes of this show a while back. My first thought was, "Hey, it looks like they might've actually spent some money on the animation," but then I realized that they just recycled the vast majority of the scenes with Ai in them. Oh and some of the stories were just ridiculous.
A little girl decides to send herself to hell because a vet let her dog die? I mean, yeah, it's not like he should go unpunished, but I think damning both of them for all eternity is a bit much. Oh and what about the one where that bully at school beats the one kid to death and his friend gets blamed for it? That made no fucking sense. They didn't even have any evidence that it was the friend's fault! Everyone just decided to blame him because he knew the kid.
I'm sadden to say I've heard the same thing from quite a few sources, which is a shame, they really could have done something decent after the first season's ending.

Yeah... I agree that was a very weak episode. Though I somehow thought it was appropriate the the series generally appointed children who don't know any better as the disposable protagonists.
As for your comments about following seasons, season two is rather similar to season one in that its a lot of stand alone episodes concluding in one proper arc.
Season three is just nonsense and does little to justify its own existence.
I was rather disappointed in this series as well! Despite reading less than favorable reviews on the series, I decided to give it a shot (probably because of the box art, like everyone else). The standalone episodes quickly became pretty boring and I was eventually found forcing myself to watch the next episode in hopes that it would get better. As the reviewer said, the music did sound pretty excellent with it though. I watched the first season on my laptop using stereo headphones [http://www.klipsch.com/image-one-stereo-headphones] and really enjoyed the show's audio for the most part. I don't think I will be giving the second season a try.
