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!

I absolutely loved this anime! I've seen one meme with Araya, and because of the name added it to watch later, not really planning to watch it. And then I heared opening. Well, after that i've swallowed this anime in, like, 1 evening, and i liked almost everything about it.
First, really great yuri balance. It's really light, does not affect the story, and just about the right amount.
Second, music. I really like RAS, and they did the opening. Ending was beautiful, as well as bgm.
Story.... Firts 6 episodes are not really interesting in terms of story, but it gets really good after episode 7, ... I couldn't stop watching.

Overall, if you are yuri enjoyer, I highly recommend you to watch this anime, you probably won't be disappointed

Mixed Feelings

Basically an excuse to watch anime girls in cute dresses and stockings with thick thighs. The story never really picks up or goes anywhere, and everything is neatly resolved at the end, with very littlebfanfare. The "twist" reveal near the end caught me a little off guard (mostly because I simply never noticed enough to put two and two together).

It's just another cute girls with magic powers fighting big monsters type of show, which I could swear I've seen at least once every season? Similar to Katana Maidens (Toji no Miko), Release the Spyce, Ange Vierge, or even Lapis Relights. Except each of those other ... anime had more interesting hooks than this one does (and none of which I would rate higher than a 7 for lack of substance to begin with...)

The characters are all cute, of course, they look very nice, but it feels like there are way too many characters to keep track of (which is probably why they always show the character's name on screen, when they first appear in every single episode). The main group have very simple personalities, and only the main two go through any sort of character development. The rest mostly belnd in to the background cast.

The fights looked visually pretty as well, though they don't happen often, and the last two battles felt a bit rushed (the very last "fight" could have been a little more interesting). The yuri scenes, mid screen art, and end screen art are most visually appealing parts of the show imo.

This anime honestly feels like tie-in media based on a gatcha game (where having tons of cute characters would make sense), but apparently is based on a light novel? There is a gatcha game to be released this month (Jan 2021) so maybe that's where they plan on cashing in... It reminds me most of Lapis Relights, which WAS specifically made for an upcoming gatcha game.

Even though I generally have a good time with this type of anime (low substance, but cute girls), this one became a bit of a slog. Not even the heroic sacrifice could make me care too much, but I still finished it out of spite. Watch almost anything else, there's plenty of other cute girl shows to go around (including the 4 previously mentioned, except maybe Lapis Relights. But I liked that one for the music)

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 ... very lazy writing that it's starting to annoy me.

Art, and sound is an exception because the studio is pretty well known for making good quality anime.

The character is fine. A little bit too much character I should say, but I like shipping stuff so it's ok for me.

Enjoyment absolutely ruined, anti-climakx, ending doesn't make any sense at all.

Overall, Did I get wholesome yuri? Absolutely yes. Did I get a good story? No
