I’m still kind of disappointed that the show never really took off among English fandom - it’s a pretty sound example of a Sunrise show which didn’t spectacularly trainwreck itself towards the end. It did have a lot stacked up against it, though - there was the whole game thing which caused a lot of people not to know what they were getting, and others to be repulsed at the changes, there was a certain degree of animosity from Code Geass fans bitter that Sunrise weren’t producing it rather than going straight into Geass second season, and then there was a certain degree of “J.C. Staff Syndrome” - that is, it seemed a little too derivative of the other shows they’d been making at the time. Omni dropping his blog coverage was pretty much the last nail in it’s coffin, and much of anime fandom fell into disinterest soon afterwards.
Well, there's a reason Ani-nouto has a category for it. I mostly liked what I saw in Xenoglossia and although I tried to pin the problem on the girlmecha when I dropped it, what really spooked me was the turn into the territory of the international, maybe even interplanetary conspiracy and X-files. Same thing as PlanetES, basically. But overall it seems like a deserving show, stronger than many. I wish it had some kind of revival associated with a thinpack release, like how it happened with Shingu. But then, Shingu was an absolutely terrific show, and poor Xenoglossia is not in the same league. But it's not any worse than Vandread and Stellvia, and Stellvia was even sold in a collector's tin.
