I think that is a given. Lets be honest, the same goes for all non music shows if you can't speak japanese. I LOVE Waratte Iitomo but if it wasn't for my idols I wouldn't plow though it every week since I don't speak the language.
Speaking about the show I agree with Sohee quality wise MSG = SJG and format wise they are the same (Introduce new character-fight-end vs. Introduce new character-maths fight-end ).
I think what SJG has over MSG is it's lead characters. Acchan in MSG was such a bore and I LOVE Nachu but her character was boooooring. Where as our leads here are likeable if excentric. But MSG had cheesy drama and I love me some cheesey drama and I think SJG's 'math battles' may get old pretty fast...
Would I spend money on it. Well I feel like a bad fan already since I buy albums to save money on customs/shipping but if it was subbed and the story gets some cheesy drama/We see more of that kitten? Sure why not?

Bad and pointless even compared to regular jp doramas?
Even compared to Majisuka Gakuen II?
Eeeven compared to generic Disney channel kid's show (Austin & Ally etc.)?
Yes (but in a charming way) if you include all drama's. But for it's target age group it is, imo, worse but not massivley. The last Jdrama I watched was Ikemen Desu ne and the wwritting in that was awful but perfectly cheesy and full of false tention.
No, MSGII was 100 times worse than the first one.
Maybe? Havn't watched DC shows since 2009 but it is much cheaper that normal and worse acted than say Wizards of Waverly Place. But from what I could tell writting wise they are the same. But I don't speak Japanese.
