Assault Lily: Bouquet

Fifty years ago, mysterious creatures known as the "Huge" suddenly appeared all over the world, posing an existential threat to humanity. To defend against these menaces, soldiers in the form of teenage girls known as "Lilies" use the energy "Magie" within their bodies to power weapons called "Counter Huge ARMS" or "CHARMS."

After being saved by a Lily two years ago while evacuating from a Huge attack, Riri Hitotsuyanagi vowed to become a Lily herself. She enrolls in the prestigious academy of Yurigaoka, a training ground for Lilies, and discovers that one of her classmates is Yuyu Shirai—the same Lily who rescued her. Much to her confusion, however, the person she thought to be cheerful turns out to be quite antisocial and prefers to fight alone. Even so, Riri still desires to get along with Yuyu and is willing to do anything she can to reach that goal.

With Yuyu and the other Lilies by her side, Riri's journey on becoming one of them has just bloomed!

Assault Lily Bouquet is an enjoyable story, but its enjoyment could run hollow.

The story follows Riri Hitotsuyanagi, a new "Lily" student that joined the school to follow the person that saved her, Yuyu Shirai. However, the story is more complicated than that; we need to understand the concept of Lily, Charm, Huge, Garden, Rare Skill, Legions, Schutzangel, and that part is where the plot becomes messy.

One of the most significant flaws in the series is the amount of information handled during the plot. These defects not only creates chaos, but they also affect the story with unnecessary threads. We can appreciate these defects ... with the characters. They keep introducing characters every time without a proper background or need. I have been trying to find a good explanation, and my conclusion is Assault Lily Bouquet is just a prelude that introduces the setting of the incoming game that will be launch in January 2021. That reason explains the need to add condensed information in only twelve episodes. Despite these problems, the series can be enjoyable if you spend some time understanding the plot.

On the other hand, the best, most exciting, and most poetic part of Assault Lily Bouquet the one section where Yuyu's feelings and her craziness side collides, leading to a fight toward artistry instead of just settling for commerce. The rest of this messy "prelude" is almost all commerce (fan service, unconcluded plot, etc) focused on the future game. As a positive part, how Yuyu's controlled her madness, the mystery surrounding her, and her relation with Riri kept me watching the story. The darkness developed in this part of the story is acceptable and at least worth the time. Meanwhile, additional information is misplaced. For example, Yuri's introduction could have been handled better, and there are several enigmas around her.

Still, Assault Lily Bouquet does a moderately good job building an intriguing plot and an acceptable mystery. Some of the visuals are quite lovely: The characters' design, some charms ideas, the backgrounds were the plot reaches the climax. Also, the sound is acceptable, has a score that does the job, and I cannot forget about the OP, Sacred World, which is excellent with good composition and rhythm.

Finally, we like to compare this series with Granblem, Madoka, etc., and it could be a mistake. We should try to understand the plot elements and enjoy the relationship between Yuyu and Riri and how they work their problems to enjoy the story and avoid comparing with different franchises that will always lead to differences and discrepancy. Overall, Yuyu's main plot is good and will be worth your time, and why not? It will help you to decide if the future game is worth your time.

Facts:
Is this series popular? To date, the series is 18 on the Japanese TV ranking, and that isn't an awful position for a series that several viewers are considering a piece of garbage. On the other hand, Tonikaku Kawaii ended in place 24. (These aren't the final season position yet, but I made my point)

First of all. I'm a big fan of yuri series.
But I've never watch yuri aside from romance, So I guess this is nice seeing action one.

The story in the early episode is pretty make sense. Your cliche anime girl going to school stuffs. Well this one is apparently going to military school because they have magie or something. Alright pretty basic stuff. But the more story progress, the deeper it gets. But I can't seem to empathy to the character because how fast the story is. Even though the anime is emotional roller coaster, It didn't attach to me. Also, the dialog seems to have ...
