Might as well post an official opener bracket for a series that I'm likely to complete. The outlook is standard: Manga is superior, but the anime is inoffensive. I already dream about a remake, Kanon 2006 style. Characters are allright, surprisingly enough. The harem is actually a triangle with additions that do nothing but comedic hijinks. Pictured above is Nagisa, the noble 3rd corner, who ultimately loses in the manga. Which is a good thing, considering her, ahem... biology. OTOH, with the technology (and magic) available in this anime, anything could be possible, but it is what it is.
