Absent minded and weak. The benefit is that there are full-length series with far less value to their story than this one had, but that's a review for another day.
This story is really just an excuse to watch elementary school military personnel fire weapons at each other. In that regard, it works. In every other regard, such as proper linearity, theme, or character development, this is definitely not the show seeking to satisfy those needs. That said, choosing not to use those things for a story does not inherently disregard the need to review such content (or lack thereof).
The real issue comes in with the Ecchi, which again, just because that's the intended purpose doesn't mean it cannot be a problem. It's used as the joke far too much, rather than allowing absurdity and comedy evolve into something laughable. There are periods in which things are rather funny, and I will admit to chuckling at times, but the ecchi is mostly just crowding an otherwise potentially comedic military sketch.
Art:
We're at a time when simple works have the potential to look decent. This work is able to keep up with itself pretty well and I never felt distracted by poor animation or anything of the sort. This works out well enough for what it is, and that's, quite literally, all anyone is asking for.
Sound:
I enjoyed the use of grand military songs, but I would have preferred some more. It would have made things a little more exciting.
VA work is fine. No complaints.
Character:
What character? No, there's some character, but there are only tropes. There isn't enough time to write any character at all, so it's to be expected that everyone is just a place-holder to watch elementary school students fire weapons at each other. Nothing else matters in this narrative anyway.
Enjoyment:
Kind of boring, and a little offensive. Ecchi can be a joke, and it's been done before as fairly decent humor (a la Panty and Stocking), but ecchi for the sake of ecchi is a nuisance. It crowds the time-span that could be filled with different, funnier sequences.
