To be honest, Smartphone and Death March were never going to do very good, because animes don't often do well with "narration" stories. The best thing about Smartphone and Death March is not just what goes on, but Touya and Satou's narrations and mental dialogue. The animes cut that almost entirely out, and so the story suffers dramatically because we don't get the funny wit of Touya and Satou that comes out through their mental dialogue.
