I wasn't totally sold on it for the first ~4 episodes or so. I especially didn't like Marcille's role in it.
However, from around episode 5 onward, it started getting REALLY good.
I think the thing I appreciate the most of DiD is that it really feels grounded in its setting. Every character and detail feels like it connects and is a part of a cohesive setting. There's a lot of anime that isn't like that.
It also has a good sense of tone. It knows when to take things seriously and when to cut loose and joke and balances those two fairly well.
It's willing to have some slower and calmer sections which I like. (Though IMO I'd like even more)
It's unfortunate to say this, but it's basically one of the only good anime I've seen in maybe a decade. Most of the stuff out there is so terrible...
