I can see the point of the narrative, but I kinda agree with @geikei that, at least in the first few episodes, the fanservice seems to be a little more unironically sexualized. Where later in the more 'comfy' episodes, the art style de-emphasizes nude figures while still depicting partial nudity. IMO, they did this to hook otakus and weebs since that demographic brings in the cash. If the artists/writers were women, they could have gotten the visual message across more unambiguously (since weebs aren't often empathetic to the stuff you listed as being uncomfy) at the beginning, but Shoujo/Josei just doesn't sell well unless you corner a niche market.
