I've approached this anime while looking for something trashy and relaxing, for which I could turn off my higher brain functions and just enjoy the dumb humour and action - and I've got exactly that, but not necessarily in the quality I hoped for. If I wanted to describe this anime shortly, I'd say it's Highschool DxD, but with less ecchi and way more WEIRD. It's a show that never treats itself seriously and has fun with the harem formula, but to the point it barely manages to even pretend it tries to tell a coherent story, or build a setting and characters that are more than just walking gags.

There are, to be fair, many fun ideas in it and jokes that land well. The strange, "mute" main heroine adds quite a lot of mystery and comedic opportunities to the whole setup. The parody of magical girl tropes is great. The protagonist is perverted in an amusing way and the internal dynamic of the harem is quite fun, thanks to the very different attitudes of the girls and a clear emphasis on Eucliwood being the primary one. All of this, however, does not develop into any kind of coherent narrative, and none of the characters truly shine during the first season. It was fun while it lasted, but left me feeling pretty much nothing when it was over and with very few memorable moments to think about - if something ever stood out, it was mostly through sheer randomness and absurdity.

The production quality of the show is very decent and I honestly think it provides a fine way to burn a few hours when you don't want to challenge yourself in any way. It just never rises above being a fun distraction - be sure to adjust your expectations appropriately.
