Brand New Cherry Flavor was successful for me in that it was good enough to make me want to watch until the end. The atmosphere and tone were great. Most of the acting was good, and the rest good enough. I liked the weirdness of it all, although in the end it felt a bit like it was weird purely for the sake of being weird.
Overall I did not find much depth, however. I suspect I'll forget it pretty quickly. There were no really badass or crazy moments. I found the main characters somewhat interesting due to their weirdness, but otherwise one-dimensional. Most importantly, I felt that the ending was a major letdown. By that point, I didn't really like or care much about any of the characters anymore, and in any case it didn't really feel like a climax... the story just wound down and ended.
If the last few episodes had really delivered, I think I'd be rating this at least an 8. But without a real payoff, I'm left feeling like there wasn't much point to it all. I still thought it was entertaining though.
