First off: I liked this series. Secondly: I am not the least surprised that it has not gained a wide fan-base.
I would have liked to give it a rating of 8 or 9, but quite frankly the sometimes very preachy style and long-winded exposition earns it. "Arjuna" has an important message for us, and tries very hard to convey it using a huge amount of information, while at the same time entertaining us with superhero-style action scenes. As such it does the job fairly well, but the vast majority of viewers are likely to be either bored with the message or offended by the very direct and sometimes accusatory way it is conveyed. This means that a lot of viewers are going to miss or resent the final message of the series: personal responsibility.
On a purely technical note, I find that the CG-elements are at times too obvious and uncharming, while at other times they are quite pretty. I for one do not enjoy the CG-look, and found the more obvious sequences distracting.
[Possible spoiler:] I found that the conclusion would be somewhat too obvious if one has even the slightest grasp of Biology.
