Whether you like this will largely depend on your preferences

If you like anime, this is a fun and light show I think you'll enjoy if you can get over the almost power ranger style CGI, costume/props. To give an example, there is a scene where an actress is supposed to be threatening using her nails, but you can see clearly it's made of a cheap rubber or silicone just from the way it bends anytime she tries to put any pressure on them. Prepare for a lot of cheese and theatrics.

The story and characters are like any other popular anime. I don't know much about this show, but I kept wondering if it is based off of a video game. Some of the music especially is reminiscent of a lot of games. The characters and style of battle and power also reminds me a little of gaming too. The storyline and progression is just like the majority of generic type anime, and if you love that genre of powering up and getting stronger, this show might be great for you.
I can't rate this highly as it's not really unique, the graphics aren't great, and the acting style, while sometimes fun, is theatrical and silly at best. It is just like a lot of animes and cartoons I used to enjoy as a child. I definitely feel this was meant for younger audiences, and for the right person, I'd agree this was show was done just fine. Wouldn't recommend this to anyone who wants any kind of realism, seriousness in acting or visuals. I can't help but feel this was made for a specific audience in mind and unfortunately I am not it. I'm about halfway through, and I'm not sure I'll finish.
This show seems great for kids, and I don't mean that as insult. Genuinely I would probably have loved this when I was much younger.
