It's just another cute girls with magic powers fighting big monsters type of show, which I could swear I've seen at least once every season? Similar to Katana Maidens (Toji no Miko), Release the Spyce, Ange Vierge, or even Lapis Relights. Except each of those other anime had more interesting hooks than this one does (and none of which I would rate higher than a 7 for lack of substance to begin with...)
The characters are all cute, of course, they look very nice, but it feels like there are way too many characters to keep track of (which is probably why they always show the character's name on screen, when they first appear in every single episode). The main group have very simple personalities, and only the main two go through any sort of character development. The rest mostly belnd in to the background cast.
The fights looked visually pretty as well, though they don't happen often, and the last two battles felt a bit rushed (the very last "fight" could have been a little more interesting). The yuri scenes, mid screen art, and end screen art are most visually appealing parts of the show imo.
This anime honestly feels like tie-in media based on a gatcha game (where having tons of cute characters would make sense), but apparently is based on a light novel? There is a gatcha game to be released this month (Jan 2021) so maybe that's where they plan on cashing in... It reminds me most of Lapis Relights, which WAS specifically made for an upcoming gatcha game.
Even though I generally have a good time with this type of anime (low substance, but cute girls), this one became a bit of a slog. Not even the heroic sacrifice could make me care too much, but I still finished it out of spite. Watch almost anything else, there's plenty of other cute girl shows to go around (including the 4 previously mentioned, except maybe Lapis Relights. But I liked that one for the music)
