Cute episode but we also got a showcase of skills and competition. I wasn't sure which team to root for but some characters such as Ichi and Miliam didn't hold back.

I actually found this episode pretty funny with how everyone wanted to prove themselves. That being said, competition looked fierce out there and is no joke when it comes to the actual combat part.

YEAAAA more fanservice from Riri's Legion, TOTAL LOVE, now featuring Yuri the 10th Lily of the team.

Problem now, is realizing what her Magie and CHARM really is with literally no infodump, and worse come to worse, any potential connection with the Huges. But still yet there's a sliver of hope within those speculations, and by then, have fun figuring out girls.

I sense Kaede's thirst for more Riri and Yuri action...*intense eye-skill drooling*

Otherwise, an exhibition of the other characters' CHARMs with Magie attached, that it felt like a Sports Day of some kind. I feel that inserting way too much side characters for calefare was overboard, but whatever with the hidden banter. At least Yuri's getting a slice of that action even with a downsized training Huge (and a worried Riri), that was some spectacular skill and footwork.

Happy for you girls! And Wang Yujia is a nice cosplay catgirl. Another special ED, and hope things are kicking in with the final quarter of Yuri's true existence to the Lily "Garden" academy.

A transcience of the Huge's DNA, or something more sinister?

Well a peaceful and joyful episode this time with lot's of girls competing which was funny to watch.
Still it looks like the calm before the storm something is going to happen soon, at least that's what i think.

But we will have to wait and see.

Bath scene from the get go, Miliam looked odd in the water XD

Action near the end was great to see, Yuri was pretty impressive against that huge and animation was really solid!. Other than that it was a pretty peaceful episode. But I feel that is soon going to change, especially judging from that post credit scene.

A fun episode all around. Groppi got some serious one use per day firepower there.

So Yuri really turned out to be artificial, this will probably get us some good action in the future.

this episode had everything lots of new faces /thighs and some really good animation was taken back despite knowing this show can look damn fine it was just like yall are going all out for this? for real lol and we get a new ed with all the girls looking cute.


on a more serious note the mention of what happens when they dont have to fight HUGE was interesting because i didn't think they would even ask these kind of questions in this show, though i doubt it'd actually go down that way, and it turns out the yuri was a artificial lily not surprising seeing how they found her.

A synthetic Lily, eh? What a nice title for my cute little moe girl, old man. But man, its really happened. Now, Kaede had a difficult wish coming from her own father. Everything might be complicated at the next episode. Lets see how well the drama wrapped everything up after what they've already built nicely on this episode. Yeah, its nice to see how Yuri became more active at her daily life, adapted as much as possible with her new life as Lily. She even adopted Yuyu stance, using Riri first knowledge, in order to defeat those Huge, to show how well she was between all of them. Also, that pouting face somehow blessed me so much. How dare they wanted to steal my pure little girl!

Ah, the ed sequence already been changed due to the arrival of Yuri. Its a nice decision, however, i am still prefer the old one. Because, yeah, its lost its 'nice' vibes. Lets see next!

This episode was ok but also prettty cliche like usual, the ending to see the new girl being potentially a mix of a huge and human was interesting

Also the only big problem I have with this anime overall is that they have way too many characters to begin with, and they know it because they keep showing their introductions every times, it's getting boring over 8 episodes already and it's kinda hard for me to keep up, I wish they could focus on less characters instead

Why the f*ck are they still bathing in towels?! This Nouvel chick literally scrubbed Mary Sue's back while she had towel on. Is this some attempt at censorship or what?!

Looks like Student Council and Chairman are the only ones with working brain and are aware that some Evil Organisation will try to retrieve their lost Loli Cargo.

Meanwhile, Mary Sue and her gang literally states that girl being washed away in alien looking pod on the beach is totally normal and do not bother asking any questions.
Nouvel is the most annoying character in this show. Her role is limited to simping to Mart Sue. Watching another Kuroki causes physical pain.
Also Yuri most likely cannot smell Riri, because Riri is one dimensional and lacks personality.
For an "action" anime, barely anything is happening, story also barely progresses.
We are reaching SAO levels of terrible writing and it is getting worse every episode.
But at least we have tightshoots. Priorities.

Right from the start we have yet another BATH FANSERVICE. And Yuri is now part of the squad!

So I see that our girls are participating in a boring school festival. We have some good Lilies action here but what shines is Yuri's part. Throughout the episode, Riri is like an overprotective mother that is worried all the time for her daughter. Of course, daddy Yuyu consoles her wife and witness the glorious scene of Yuri winning against the fake HUGE.

We also have another ED (and I screenshot the hell out of the girls). The ending scene though is kinda interesting. It seems that our girl Yuri is a test experiment from HUGE DNA's. And it is being led by this G.E.H.E.N.A. group and the CHARM manufacturer that is led by...Kaede's father. And then Kaede calls her father...oh no no no no. Things are about to go DOWN.

Well here are some screenshots of the Hitotsuyanagi Squad, enjoy. And oops I forgot putting a spoiler tab...

well, i suspected Yuri to be an artificial lily but did not actually think that she would be made from Huge. Wonder why the organisation that created her would send people to spy on her if they already knew what she is though. They are trying to go with a "make lilies a fighting force in wars should all the Huge be eliminated" route but the way they are doing it is so inconsistent and messy. Trying to make it seem like only this particular school has lilies in it while we were previously told that there were other schools with lilies in them as well (and in other countries too).
Then, bring in the "make lilies a fighting force in wars against each other should all the Huge be eliminated" plot when we still have no idea how the Huge even manifested in the first place or how many of them there are (putting the cart before the horse much?)

Honestly, this anime feels like its just trying to jam in all the different elements of similar shows like Strike Witches, Azur Lane, KanColle, etc and end up with one that is just unpleasant to watch at times. Wish they could have just picked a theme/genre and stuck with it throughout.

So, are they trying to make it seem like the red-haired girl was only acting close to Riri to get info about her Unique/Rare Skill and report back to her father about Yuri?

I do like having a bath scene right from the get go. As an added bonus, Mirim's hair looks really amusing when it covers almost her entire face. XD

This episode was enjoyable, as the Lilies were having fun during their competition. Mirim getting taunted before putting her opponent in her place was awesome is Riri kept me laughing with how clingy of a "mother" figure she is over Yuri.

Then came Yuri's time to shine, with her exhibition match against the Huge prototype. I know the production values of this series is always great, but I think this is the best animated fight so far. Some of the close-ups and the fluidity of the attacks that Yuri landed on the Huge prototype was magnificent.

However, the development of Yuri's origins was ramping up and we now know that she's an artificial lily and one made from the DNA of the Huge. Not just that, but she originally came from a facility between G.E.H.E.N.A and the main CHARM manufacturer, which for the latter, is run by Kaede's father. To end the episode on a cliffhanger, Kaede, alone outside, makes a call to her father. Either the show is pulling our leg with that ending, or Kaede knows more than she's letting on. We'll just have to wait for the next episode to find out more. Not to forget, the ED song and visuals was really nice. =3

You really should be thankful that this show isn't using beams of light as a means of censorship. That would be FAR worse. On the flip side, I would personally prefer steam censorship, just so it makes it look more natural in the bath scenes.

The competition was so fun. All the girls were so cute. Yuri’s final sequence at the end was freaking amazing! So we now know she’s an artificial human made from Huge DNA, looks like next week people will start coming after her, this is gonna be interesting.

I hope Kaede isn’t ratting her out with that call to her dad at the end

Because Yuri is what they created + Riri and Yuyu's DNA that she got from Riri's Charm. Yuri was that blob in the beach without human form and she got her current form the moment Riri's Charm made contact with her, they don't know what she is completely because she isn't what they originally created. She is a lily made from Huge's DNA with also DNA from 2 lily parents.

The competition sure was fun and Yuri went all out with the experimental Huge. She's a quick learner.

So Yuri is the result of an experiment. Things should get a lot darker.

Loved the episode, the Yurigaoka school competition event was really fun.

Riri is so adorable being an overprotective "parent"

Yuri vs Mecha Rumpelstilzchen was fucking amazing like gaddamn that animation in the fight was probably the best in the series so far. Great job, Yuyu and Riri's child.

As expected, Yuri is indeed an experiment. Now I am worried for the next episode.

Yes! Wang Yujia is underrated waifu, she deserves the win.

Assault Lily delivers yet another fine episode! Yuri has been accepted as a member of Team Hitotsuyanagi, just in time for Yurigaoka Academy to celebrate a sports competition among its students. I really enjoyed this episode's fast pacing, as it benefitted the comedy and the fight scenes. This was a good episode and I can't wait to see what happens next.

I'm really starting to see that I think a lot of people are expecting Assault Lily to be something it's not, so they're understandably very disappointed. If you see it as an action series that's primarily about the HUGE and the outside threat then yeah, it's failed pretty badly so far because it's taken 8 episodes to get to any significant development about that. And then it's really easy to dismiss the slower episodes as just filler fanservice.

But I think it's intended instead to be about the legion and their bond, and especially Riri and Yuyu's bond. If you see it that way it starts to all make sense, because all of the episodes are about this in some way whether they have HUGE encounters or not. So then it makes sense that they would rarely focus on the HUGE so far because the lilies life a sheltered life in the academy, so they themselves probably aren't focused on the outside threat except when it comes to them directly. And even with them, until now it's mostly just a routine thing where they're trained to handle it so it shouldn't pose any major threat.

This idea is also carrying through to the major developments that have been set up now, because while we are learning more about the HUGE and the other threats, almost all of it is still from the perspective of the lilies' bond:

Riri and Yuyu care a lot for Yuri so learning that she's artificial and potentially dangerous threatens that. Kaede has direct ties to their potential main adversary, as well as already experiencing some level of jealousy. And Yuyu hinted that many of the academy's lilies probably aren't prepared for when things get really bad, or for how their lives will change after that.

(People have also mentioned frustration with the large cast and how most of the characters haven't gotten major individual development but I don't think that's necessarily needed either. It's something that will come with time, but what it has done well is developing the legion as a unit which is IMO what it will need to pull off a climax that focuses how that bond changes and maybe breaks under stress.)

On this topic, it's possible it's another single-episode ED but time will tell. I think the first one fits better for when things get darker, this one has a pretty decidedly upbeat and happy tone.

Alright so we had the tournament episode. Yuri seems to be the new redemption of all humanity. Nice one there. Also animation was OP, definitively the best point of the series. That Yuri vs Robot scenes were lit.

Nice new ED we have here. No fanserviced but very cute and with a great song. It´s this way.

That final scenes were the most important by far. So... the human investigation laboratory and literally Kaede´s CHARM manufacturing company lost a test subject along with the United Nations... which is a synthetic Lily, who of course is Yuri. And those groups exposed themselves into misconduct to recover it... why?

I remember saying this was an OK series, a perfect 7 and move onto another thing but... they can have a really complex and interesting story there. Maybe we (and of course MAL score) underestimated Assault Lily? Let´s wait and see... hyped for Friday

Very nice episode that fight scene was pretty bad ass yuri shredded that drone to pieces I knew she could do it, interesting so it appears yuri is actually a humunculus created from huge dna, so I'm guessing all those other pill capsules aboard that ghost ship were all experiments too except it appears they didn't survive, wonder what's gonna happen to yuri
