Too bad "-" category (or nearby) in reviews' summary does not clearly mention whether reviewed show is episodic or a continuous story.
This is my biggest problem with quality of ANN database as there is just no way to know whether certain show is episodic or not -- it is important since I usually barely can stand "monster of the week", "nothing eventually moves/happens, but it is kind of funny" projects.
If not through changes of ANN database structure, I would suggest that this could be corrected at least through reviews.

Agree with conclusions: this show can be pretty disgusting. Though there is some uniqueness about the project in a good sense, too.
And yes, this project is episodic.

I'd give it a higher content score overall-in the B range-but I'd still have to concede that it putters out to a weak end by the latter part of the second half. Though it's still an overall better series than Panty & Stocking.

Surely what it was aiming for. I appreciated this since so much anime is so relentlessly pleasant. It's not a truly top-tier comedy, though.
Too bad this set misses the OVA; it has the funniest story, where Azazel betrays Sakuma while the boss is away.

The entire fifth paragraph is about this. Not sure what more you want here from a review.

As I wrote, this should be around "+"/"-" section; otherwise it is totally optional because some reviews may contain discussion whether reviewed show is episodic, and others may not.

This could get a bit complicated; besides shows which are totally episodic or spend all their time on a storyline some shows start out episodic and then move into a continuing storyline and some start a storyline, forget it for a while and do stand-alone stories, then return to the longer-form story later.

Everything in that section is either a concise "grade" for the show (including sub-grades for its animation, art, music, and writing quality), or a one-sentence description of the show's good or bad qualities.
I'm not sure you could convince me that "is the show episodic?" belongs in that space, when there isn't even a "genre" or "number of episodes" category.

One of my favorite anime comedies, roughly from the same mold as Detroit Metal City. It's humor and style is right up my alley, and I love the looks as well.
Probably the show that established Mizushima Tsutomu as one of my favorite directors, which has been confirmed by almost anything he made since then.
