I don't understand why some people find AnR boring. The characters are actually interesting and different than the usual pretty and nice girl stereotype.
I think that's because maybe the yuri fans wanted more yuri, and never really got something very yuri (?). And the action fans simply didn't like it because it was all girls cast
manga-wise, i think it's mostly because of how slow the yuri is. there's flirting here and there but seeing a kiss isn't up until the 28th chapter -- aka. the 4th volume. because really, a lot of us have seen slow burn het. slow burn yuri is actually uncommon, from what i've heard of. and boring for people who think it would be "edgy" to watch/read a yuri other than strawberry panic.
some people will go straight for the anime, but it's not really "yuri." most of the yuri aspect of it was cut out (the girls didn't really flirt in the anime -- ex: Banba and Sumireko -- until the OVA, but fan service) and instead, it became more shoujo-ai. boring.
as for action, i think it had less to do with that and more to do with the fact that """fans""" probs didn't like that the only male characters were a boring teacher and a creepy dice man that wouldn't make a harem to rival naruto tbh
