This seems to be about girls blowing stuff up in a simple story. Slayers comes to my mind.
Slayers was definitely more involved though and its story, while simple, had a pretty heady backstory to it that most anime can't even hope to match (thanks to all the novels out there by Kanzaka). And most anime, no matter how action oriented can boast that the entire cast was killed of then came back. I don't know, I wouldn't ever equate Slayers as just 'simple'.

If there's any genre I'd put Slayers in, it'd be an adventure anime like Full Metal Alchemist. It's not the typical shonen or anything either. As with Zettai Shonen, it definitely feels like the good old girl-sentai of older times. Maybe like Alien Nine without the super-creepy puberty allusions.
