Simply because it manages to poke fun at magical girl tropes without talking down to its viewers or resorting to mean spirited jokes. It's exactly what a parody should be: a celebration of what it is critiquing. I consider this a must watch for anyone who is a fan of magical girls (and/or BL), HOWEVER that doesn't mean it doesn't have any weak points.
Story 6/10
Where the show falters is in its weekly format. Like most magical girl anime, it uses a monster of the week formula that gets tiring after a while. There are a couple glaring plotholes as the show goes along but they get a pass mostly because the characters themselves make fun of them. Overall the story is lighthearted, but they do mix in some drama and well foreshadowed plot twists to keep you emotionally invested. It also has a very satisfying ending (which is more than I can say for a lot of series).
Art & Animation 8/10
The character designs are distinct and adorable. Honestly this is some of the best proportioned shoujo I've seen in a while. The battle sequences, while extremely sparkly, are not stunning feats of animation. But with transformations called "More Better Love-making" the show isn't meant for cinematic battles anyway.
Characters 6/10
The characters are tricky because they are both good and bad. They fill the expected archetypes (the megane, the lazy one, the cuddly one, the rich one...), and maybe it's because it's only a 12 ep series, but I don't think they made the most of their established personality traits. There are some awesome revelations that tie everyone together in the finale. But otherwise they don't have much development beyond their relationships with each other (and I do mean that in a BL sense).
Sound 9/10
The OP and ED are catchy as hell. I find myself humming them randomly throughout the day.
Basically, if you're a fan of magical girl series and you want a lighthearted story with cute boys, then this is perfect for you! If you're looking for an anime with deep messages that make you question human nature, then you might want to look somewhere else.
