The show starts by showing our main protagonist being bullied and abused 24/7. I feel like all of these scenes are supposed to make you feel bad and sympathize with our protagonist, Aya Asagiri. But what it really did is making it painful to watch. Fortunately, it is only like this in the beginning.
All those misfortune made her get a magical stick after stumbling to Mahou Shoujo Site. After first using her magical stick, she encountered another magical girl, Tsuyuno Yatsumura. Together, they form some kind of bond, while fighting off the problems that is hidden in the Mahou Shoujo Site. Along the way, they will meet some other magical girls, some become the focus of future episodes.
The theme in this anime is usually some kind of dark psychological atmosphere. Occasionally, there is some moments they tried to make it heart-warming when the characters remind themselves of their bonds. But if course, it fails to make you feel those dark atmosphere or sympathize with the characters because of how utterly ridiculous the scene is. Some scenes are absolutely ridiculous that you will be unable to watch this seriously and just start laughing.
The characters are made super unrealistic and are in no way relatable. Our main character just tolerates all the abuse that she gets. Her brother (the one that abused Aya) is someone who looks down on litterally everyone but himself. There is also Nijimi Asazawa, who is an idol at surface but actually just wants to kill someone horribly underneath. Some characters also went through drastic changes with only little time (sudden development), they are hostile towards the protagonist at first, but easily changes sides to helping her. All these characters are made very messed up, it might not necessarily be bad if you like watching extremely messed up characters.
Art and music are not impressive either. The anime's ending is also one of the weirdest one i have seen. It is live action dancing with flying sperms in the sky. I think it is supposed to have some kind of connection to the story, but i can't help thinking how weird it is.
Taking everything into account, while the premise is quite unique or weird, this anime is just a horrible mess of gimmicks including, but not limited to, magical girls, psychological problems (abuse, murdered relatives, etc), and psycho genius brother. It fails to make us care about the characters, even when we are given half-episode-long backstory. But can it be entertaining? Yes. It is so bad that you can get enjoyment watching its badness, or you could actually become curious on how it will progress.
