I have the best luck with Anime Avenue for availability and quality, so there's the ep 1 link. New episodes air on Sundays.

THIS ANIME IS SO MAGICAL AND RIDICULOUS. I hesitate to characterize it as so bad it's good because if you REALLY READ INTO SHIT you find out it's actually a lot smarter than it appears to be. It is the Crouching Moron Hidden Badass of anime. I think you described it best when you said it's... "itself."
