I REALLY like this title, it was made by Idol Project people, and adds more energy to that style.
The direction and music are superb, and you should try the Japanese soundtrack, the voice actresses are very good and Jo's also does Asuka in Evangelion.
It does have problems: Hitoshi Doi's database includes entries for a Jaja Uma Quartet radio show, so the anime is clearly fan service, and we suffer from not having had a chance to know the back story. Of which there is clearly rather a lot, but, hey, the Laws Of Anime say that Fracasso will most certainly win Jo's heart ... someday ^_^.
It is not like Sailor Moon, that was a ground-breaking fusion of the sentai (e.g. Power Rangers) and magical girls genres. I call them "Martial Magical Girls", with other examples including Wedding Peach and most recently Pretty Cure. There's absolutely nothing from the magical girls side of things, the girls aren't even magic users.
But they are indeed "pretty sexy and cute".
8/10 for me.
