There is a lot to love about this anime, which not only does its job to tell a good and entertaining episodic story, but it also presents us with a lot of interesting ideas and scenarios to boot, and pulls us in with how compelling the show is, both explicitly and implicitly. The characters are memorable too, with the main character being a somewhat average introvert, with a twisted, snarky and cynical side, but is a likeable, fun character to follow at her core, despite having no name. (No characters have actual names, btw) There are a lot of fun characters aside from the heroine too, who I won't spoil apart from the fairies. There is no main fairy to follow, but all of them come along as a cute, ditzy, curious and minuscule (Literally in stature) race at first glance, but get increasingly mischievous, intelligent, scheming, diabolical and experimental with (Almost) every episode, setting those interesting ideas into motion.
Your mileage may vary on this one, but there are a few episodes (A couple to be exact) that aren't on top form with the rest of the show, and when it isn't, it becomes really dragging and almost cringe-worthy to watch. It doesn't make those episodes bad, but the way they are presented feels mediocre and obtuse when compared to the rest of the show.

Specifically, (In my opinion) the worst two episodes revolve around the topic of time paradoxes (called "The Fairies' Time Managemment"), which devolves from being this spontaneous, compelling show into something repetitive and almost boring.
Those episodes fortunately don't drag the whole thing down, since they're not chronologically connected. They are canon, but the runtime order of the show and the chronologically correct order of the show are significantly different, it's best if you don't know which ones just to make the show more interesting and savoury to you. Overall, it's a great show to watch when you need something thought provoking, but interesting, and at times, weird. This gets five stars out of five, if you're fine with the episodes I just mentioned that I didn't like earlier.
