Enjoy a wonderful light show with glamorous idol music! Experience the great adventures of cute girls in a completely new idol direction! Idols who are witches as well, doing a magic show, a combination the world has not seen in this form before!

STORY:
Our journey starts with Tiara, a young and beautiful witch apprentice, who travels from her hometown Bristol to the metropolis Mamkestell, the home of Flora Girls’ Academy. She always had the dream to become a student there and quickly finds that she truly has the latent ability to become a proper Witch, with a bright future ahead of her: a future that will ...

Not a masterpiece, but a fine piece of art. Lapis Re:LIGHTs breaks the “Re:” curse and gains a nice position in this season’s chart. Maybe too underestimated, and maybe it’s because that underestimation that I can give a high score.

Although it’s evidently a moe product, the depiction of the story and world is much more deeper than “non-moe” works of this period, giving the impression that those kind of works lack the attention and the perfectionism which we find in Lapis Re:LIGHTs. The technical direction is extremely precise, with cinematographic cuts and meticulous care of context and scenery. Oh, how I like the satisfaction of ...

Preliminary (4/12 eps)
The best thing about Lapis Re:light is that i wasn't expecting anything at all. The synopsis came up late and i didn't read it before i watched, so, this is completely first impressions.

The theme is really moe, and by that i mean its chill. Just cute girls doing cute stuff and having fun with their friends. I like those stuffs, but i won't give it a 10/10; the plot is flat (like the protagonist) and i don't see it evolving anywhere.

SHIKASHI, the current vibe of the anime is really cute and pretty, the art is better than it first apparents, and the songs (till now) ...

This anime is not meant for everyone, the plot is lackluster and there are tons of characters for a one cour anime but if you've been following lapis relights for a while then it wont be a problem.

The plot follows you're average cliche idols shows but this with magic it might sound like the magic thing has just been added because there lacking of ideas. The magic aspect of it makes the anime unique because it opens up to new things like girls living in fantasy environment instead of the modern one and also girls with different aspects.

The art is just dazzlimg and brilliant, there ...

Talk about surprise of the season. Without any prior knowledge coming into this series I was fully expecting a low budget soulless mobage adaptation not unlike Nanabun. And not especially Milky Holmes Lite.

To be perfectly honest going in into the first episode initially had me fearing the show would be your typical idol show with school saving, rivals, angst and protagonist powers. Then the second episode completely and utterly shattered those expectations to become something special. I mean, this is a show with a goddamned lesbian cabaret club. It’s wacky and insane and thankfully the idol stuff is kept to a minimum and the justifications ...

"Just another CGDCT idol anime with the right amount of everything CGDCT idol enthusiasts need." - Yes, this is Lapis Re:LiGHTs.

Lapis Re:LiGHTs felt somewhat like Little Witch Academia but without the fantasy adventure thrill. Regardless of its unperceivable story the cuteness, good songs and soft yuri baits and teases makes up for everything, making the show overall better to a certain extent.

Expect water if you asked a server in a restaurant for water. I'm just going to point this out for people who are planning to watch Lapis Re:LiGHTs : "If you're here for something else which isn't CGDCT or idol then you ...

Want to state first that this is a review that is covering the first few episodes, to tell you if you should pick up this series or not. So here goes.

There are a lot of good points about this show so far, but also a bit of bad.

One massive good point is that the art style is vibrant, colourful, and pretty to look at. A major plus there, as having good art to look at, really is great for a watching experience. No matter if it comes to the characters themselves, or the spells that they used, or the backgrounds we see. Another good ...

Lapis Re:LiGHTs (2020)

This show was unexpected in the show's story since it did not give much away until it basically started. It comes with a strong start to a dull middle and a rushed ending but it is still a fairly good ride if you enjoy idols and music. It is a really unusual take of the magical realms you normally see since it is filled with so much joy despite awful happenings in the background. Almost the most part of civilization is oblivious to the truth.

The show uses mostly a good level of art but at times goes off somewhat unexpectedly bad. The ...

I’ll say it now, coming from the perspective as someone who doesn’t usually like Idol anime/games: Lapis Re:LiGHTs was surprisingly good.

The only substantial issue present is the VAST difference in quality between episodes, switching from borderline putting me to sleep to downright amazing. As a result, I think I’ll have to discuss them separately in four “sub-reviews”, if you will.

Episodes I & II: 8/10
This series has a very strong start, introducing us to five likeable (albeit somewhat cliche) characters and a promising storyline. Teasers for future backstory plot points regarding Tiara’s sickness and the significance of her- well, tiara, also help to really draw you ...

Lapis was probably my second or third favourite show of Summer 2020. Going into the series I had never heard of it, but my interest was piqued by the combination of idol girls and mahou shojo, both of which I love. After all, who doesn't enjoy cute anime girls singing and fighting monsters, right? Luckily, I was not disappointed at all and was actually rather taken a back by the quality of writing and the great characters in the show.

The story, for me, was actually rather unique and managed to put a cool spin on common idol tropes. I found the concept of the ...

This is review is coming from someone who just watches anime for fun and not really knit-picky about a lot of stuff but if you want an anime to have a good time but not a long time, Lapis Re:LiGHTs isnt a bad choice! I didnt know LRL at all until I heard about the anime but I then learned there was a game for it so it's been a thing for a while it seems.

As previous reviews say, the plot isnt based on anything /big/ besides the evolution of the protagonist with a goal with friends with other side stories. But Im not ...

Lapis Re: LiGHTs (LiGHTs) is for me one of the most beautiful animes in a long time, where people also sing.
Not only that the songs are atmospheric and heartfelt, the characters and their various characteristics came across very well. The story also had a wonderful flow of time and you felt picked up at all times and you didn't have the feeling that it was stretched with senseless story.
So much was packed into the 12 episodes that it was neither too much nor too little. I also found the dance animations wonderful and you hardly noticed any overlapping images.
I'm blown away when ...

Wow, this one really surprised me. It's a pretty good music/idol anime that I never heard of before. I'm glad I gave it a chance.

The story, while it's pretty fast-pace and a bit cheesy at times, I think that it told what it needed to tell from it's initial premise. But 12 episodes isn't really enough to flesh out the plot to bring out some depth or meaningful messages to it. Though I really enjoyed the story nonetheless.
But regardless of that, this show really has some trouble in balancing the magic and reality aspect of it. There's no fine line on what magic can and ...

Im in the mood nowadays to try genre of anime that is not really my type and one of these genres is the musiclal ( idol and moe stuff). I have a low expectation for this anime because of its episode 1 but fortunately i didn't drop it immediately because later episodes become more livelier and funnier because of the other cast specially the Ashley+Lavie. Well as for the story of this anime it is the result of mixture of fantasy+idol anime. It is an idol anime set in a setting wherein girls who aspire to become a witch will have to attend this academy ...

A unique school idol anime in a fantasy setting. Think Harry Potter but with singing and less plot. I really enjoyed all the songs featured in the anime to the point that I bought anime ost album. Unfortunately the story is not very memorable or complex which is usually the standard for most idol animes. Characters are cute and likeable, although I personally thought that the main girls were overshadowed by other idol units.

Overall, give this anime a try if you are into idol genre and looking for decent j-pop music. This anime definitely deserves 9/10 for it's music and most likely 7.5/10 for ...

If you try to read a review for this kind of genre, it means you already consider to join the deepest lowest & moe-est part of anime world, which is Music Idol. No matter what genre you’re watching, your friends & families will still call you a weebs anyway, so why don’t you just go full throtle diving here to the unexplored Atlantis. Expand your world and find your amusement, then we can finally said “Welcome, my fellow fking weebs.”
Actually it’s not fully my rights to said that because it’s my first time diving here, so I tried to give a review from a newcomer ...

I really like this anime. In terms of the storyline, the songs that are sung in this anime are very good and the characters have their own characteristics. But I don't know if this anime doesn't have a 2nd season. I'm a bit sad because this idol-themed anime and music is really good. I hope everyone will enjoy the storyline and all aspects of this anime. And the art of the images that are displayed make this anime feel alive as well as the characters and plot. I'm very grateful that this anime has a season 2😊.
I think the author of this anime story is ...
