Strange, calm, prone to bouts of mania
That's how I would describe this anime.
It's my favorite I've seen in a long while. The animation and atmosphere are superb, but not at all one-note. At times it's like the most absurd studio trigger show you've ever seen, manic and absurd, grand in scale, at other times it's similar to shows like Girl's Last Tour, reflective and silent, often it reminds me of Space Dandy as well.
It's an experience I would call more than a little bit eclectic, but it works, and every one of the radically diverse angles it takes has maximum charm, and often maximum cuteness.
I would also like to mention, because it bears mentioning whether we like it or not, that it doesn't have a single questionable camera angle, strangely clingy clothing article, magic skirts that just barely don't reveal anything, it's very tasteful. That means you can actually show this one to people! Hooray!
Anyway, characters are charming, cute, funny, and a little bit insane. On the point of comedy, it's hard for me to evaluate whether it would land with an unseasoned anime watcher, as it does play with quite a few tropes for punchlines, but not always, oftentimes the comedy is purely absurd, or has strange characters behaving strangely. For me, the majority of jokes land, but at times jokes encroach on serious moments in a way that feels a bit dissonant, but even that for me became part of the charm.
I'm not going to do a by-the-book review, I don't care to craft a conclusion. Have fun watching :)
