The problem with so many of the harsher critiques is that they don't seem to know how to just enjoy things. If I wanted to I could critique this series down to the point that it becomes not worth watching even if nothing else was on. I could do that to any show.
The main character Izetta is a witch in this WWII era. This is fine because it is NOT some moe magical girl transformation cliche.
Perhaps I'm just a hopeless simpleton, but what I see when I watch this is a cool World War era time period with all the trimmings; tanks, planes and soldiers. You have a cliche plot line of one kingdom/territory invading another. The only difference here is this witch who is fighting for the losing side. She has magic powers that even come with an explanation as to how they work and what her limitations are.
I mean come on, she flies on a giant rifle. How cool is that?
And the best part of all is that it's not clogged up with pointless ecchi filler like Infinite Stratos is.
