The main reason I watched it the whole way through was because people on TvTropes recommended it. The first 5 episodes where kinda meh. But since it was recommended I figured I might as well.
Honestly, this serious isn't groundbreaking by any means. It's not a huge hit or anything, but among the lesser hyped anime, this is rather decent.
15/16 episodes is a half-season. It's perfectly normal, and it's usually just to test the waters before they bring in a second season (or very rarely, a remake) which would have the full 24~28 episodes. Sort of like how manga usually have a one-shot published before the actual series is published. Once again, it is by no means abnormal.
REC is an example of an abnormally short anime, with only 9 episodes and each episode being only about 12 minutes long (half the normal duration).
