I finished RErideD, and it honestly wasn't as bad as its low MAL score made me fear it would be. It wasn't good either, mind you, but it wasn't bad. Yuri was the only character that I really cared about (and even her only barely, she just felt the most like a real person), but all the rest of the main cast were at least inoffensive. The bad future setting didn't make a whole lot of sense, somehow being both a functioning society and an apocalyptic wasteland depending on the needs of the scene. There were a few neat set-pieces where they fought robots, though, so that was nice I guess. As for the plot itself... it had a few good ideas that I thought might come together in the end, but sadly the boatloads of nonsense that surrounded those good ideas kept them from living up to their potential. To me, a good time travel story makes you go 'whoa cool' at the end when all the pieces come together and RErideD... didn't do that. Ah well.

I think what salvaged my opinion of this more than anything is that I love time travel stories in general, even if they suck. This may have been a poorly written mess, but those rare moments where I (incorrectly) thought I saw something intelligent were still worth watching for, at least for me. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else, though.
