On a recommendation, I've been watching Symphogear for a while now. I'm currently on Season 5. It's excessive and silly, but in a good way.
+ Over-the-top story, action, and power creep. The showrunners embrace it and joke about it regularly.
+ Cliffhangers you'd reserve for the end of a season are being deployed every couple episodes
+ Later seasons are really well animated
+ and - The show is surprisingly dark at times, only to swing right back to the sugary sweet side of things. You might only want one of those, though
- Plenty of overly predictable moments
- Regularly shoehorning narratives into the show that feel out of place, and then never touch them again
- Excessive fanservice
I guess the best thing I can say about the show is that every time I think I'm starting to lose interest, they immediately find a way to get me back into it. I suppose that's a sign of a good show!
