Assault Lily: Bouquet is honestly one of the most wholesome anime I’ve seen in a long time. The overload of innocence and the super smooth, high-quality animation made this anime a perfect mix of everything I wanted.
If you like anime with great animation and none of that boring slice-of-life soap opera stuff, then this is absolutely the right one to watch. It just goes straight to the point with beautiful characters, emotional moments, and action that actually looks good.
Everything about it just made my heart melt. Like, seriously — the relationships between the girls, the way they care for each other, and how pure everything feels… it really hit me in the feels. No cringe, no nonsense, just a lot of love and energy. The strong female friendships and unique character design make it a g…

There is not much I can review from this anime, I only like the shojo ai relationship between the female characters, while for the action storyline in my opinion it is very lacking in cliche. The problem lies in the role of the antagonist in this story is no more than an NPC with minimal background information, so it looks like the protagonist characters are fighting aliens who accidentally stopped by on earth which even these aliens do not have intelligence and a clear purpose for their invasion. I admit that the storyline of this anime is full of gaps if what is being sold is the action story. This anime is more suitable for the shojo ai, yuri, drama, slice of life genres. The animation is standard and not bad. The soundtrack is also standard.

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

I'm really conflicted over my scoring. I really want to give it 10 for the delicacy of thighs throughout this entire anime. Like not only is there a lot of thighs, but they're all so great.
I feel overall as an anime, it's worth a 7, pretty average across the board, so I gave it a 7 to fit in with that. but I really would give it a 10 based on the thighs alone.
thighs, I swear that's the main plot, nothing had my attention more than the beauty of the thighs in this anime, which is a variety of thigh highs and leggings, and just thigh in some occasional scenes.
I get that all I've really mentioned was thighs this and thighs that, but that is literally the only reason why I wanted to write this review

This show blew my expectations out of the water. It isn't the best anime I've ever seen, but it's a heck of a lot better than the ratings make it seem!
I'll start with the bad. Out of the many characters, only a select few get any kind of development or deep characterization at all. This goes for most shows, however. There is some serious yuri-bait, and while you wish some of the people get together, it's an anime that isn't solely centered around a single relationship so you know it's not going to happen. Some of the story elements are more than a little confusing, especially towards the end, but any casual viewer should be able to get the gist of most of it. The last thing is that there are definitely some cliche moments, but what else can you really expect from a yuri-bait, sword-gun f…

To be honest, I didn't know what to expect about this show when I first read about it, but I decided to give it a chance because its premise looked interesting. So, after watching this show twice, once in Japanese and the other in English, was Assault Lily any good.
Story
The premise of teenage girls fighting a supernatural threat is pretty commonplace is anime, but Assault Lily puts an interesting spin on it by giving special focus on their weapons, their Charms. The girls, known as Lilies, use their Charms in order to fight giant monsters called Huge in epic battles throughout the landscape, while at the same time, they try to navigate through the pressures of what it means to be a Lily. The show doesn't shy away from depicting teenage girls as wiser and smarter beyond their years, such…

There is no need for a long review. Assault Lily : Bouquet has nothing too deep or emotionally intense to offer; it isn't original either, but it's very well executed. If you want something fun to watch with a fast pace, nice battles and cute yuri, please yourself.
The musics (opening and ending) are actually fantastic. The art is of superior quality. The yuri is pleasant and explicit, nothing serious, but nothing vulgar either. The story and writing are nothing memorable, neither the characters are, but they are still good company for a season.
The general rating is way too stiff in my opinion. I saw a lot of yuri anime rated 7 on 10 here and those were far from being as good as this one.

All female anime is something i typically stay away from because they're either not aimed at a male audience, or they are and usually rely on conspicuous amounts of service to provide entertainment (which i don't personally find all that stimulating).
AL:B kinda falls in the middle, but does so in a surprisingly tasteful manner. The characters don't exist simply to satisfy male fantasies (though they are designed in such a way to be overtly "kawaii", there is a maturity/sensibility to it) and they each have their own distinct personalities with their own individual past, goals/ambitions, etc. The story as a whole isn't exactly deep, the show just kinda runs with a lot of assumptions about the universe, not worrying too much about minor details. Which in itself is neither here nor there as…

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 little fanfare. 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, the…

How far can the distance be between textual quality and anime production? For many, both production and history need to go together, as one complements the other in order to boast of their effort, bringing pride to the show's creators. Even more so when an anime involves action and a combination of scenes that need to coexist with direction, sound and animation. Assault Lily Bouquet ended and it was a very different experience to follow. Not because it is an excellent anime, but it exemplifies and practically answers the question I mentioned above. Who would have thought that such a good proposal would be overlooked just to make the environment friendly, where the characters' daily lives are just a slice of life... No, it's more than that. The anime is not entirely wasted, it has unusual q…

The definitive underdog of the season. The 6.46 score is undeserved. I don´t understand why is this rated so low.
The story was nice. They constructed a great world with lots of possibilities and ways to carry the story. Animation was great (especially on Yuri fighting the robot) and sound was amazing (banger OP, great four endings, nice insert songs). Characters were also nice and beautiful, with none of them being hateable. Incredible how they got to attack by literally passing a bullet with Guardiola´s or Cappa´s style. Amazing football reference there. I really enjoyed this anime, and still wonder why score is so low.
Story: 7/10
Art: 7/10
Sound: 9/10
Character: 7/10
Enjoyment: 7/10
Overall: 7/10
Should you watch it? Yeah, give it a try.

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 shoul…

I'd be honest, I didn't have any expectations when I started watching this. For me it was another side series done by Shaft. The show delivered what it promised from the first few episodes (i.e. thighs). The story isn't anything mind blowing, but I didn't expect it to have it in the first place. But the way it's presented will sure make you curious, and raise some questions, and make you think. If you don't want to think much, you'll still find it enjoyable. The art and animation is great, and Shaft has made a good use of 3DCG. I love the opening song, the characters are funny and you'll remember their personalities and faces, not necessarily their names.
There are so many characters and you'll see people complain about it, but you don't have to focus on them. They are not the main focus o…

Assault Lily: Bouquet was a really enjoyable show to watch. Nothing masterpiece worthy but it was a really fun ride from beginning to end. As you can read the synopsis of the show from the overview I will only state my opinions of the show based off of the synopsis and what I felt as I watched.
Characters/Story: The character designs for all the lilies were quite 'flashy' and i feel many will love these girls designs. I loved all the personalities that the characters showed throughout this series and found myself really engaged in the drama that occurred. The resolutions to those dramas felt realistic and passionate and is one of the few 12 episode animes this year that I felt had relatively good pacing throughout, only having slight pacing issues around the middle of the series and very…

Assault Lily: Bouquet (2020)
Who knew an outfit could have such an amazing safety feature.
This series is somewhat Yuri however it is mostly just on the basis of isolation as such. As you would expect another world where men, boys and adults of all identities, in general, are basically powerless so the fate of survival is left to young girls in cute outfits with swords that can also be a gun. Essentially, that is what the show is, and by no means am I suggesting that is a bad thing since as far as the show goes it is a good ride.
The art style used is nice, it is what I would say is a high-grade medium in the regard it is very refined but is starting to be an older format in the regard of not being so polished as to what is available. It is a single-season so doesn't have a history to…

overall score: -low six- (6.2)
First things first The chara design here is really......how should i say it "eye catching"
The story is so-so but the fight scene does show some great animation and quality in it. here you basically have all of your generic essential character like the energetic one, the lazy one, the cute one so-on, so-on. even tho the chara and the plot is nothing special the thing that caught me is the way they serve the show.
The way they show from scene to scene and from other perspective to another perspective is just somewhat indifferent for me to see. They didn't only focus on the MC but also focuses on the other character despite having so many of them.
ps. yuyu and riri has the best thighs no debate.

Assault Lilly was a great ride from beginning to end, and was in my opinion, one of the sleeper hits of the season.
Based on the dolls of the same name, Assault Lilly brought to characters from the toy line in the setting of a magical girls school to train girls to fight monsters. Basic premise, but really fun execution in my opinion. As a fan of Mahou Shoujo and general CGDCT, I thought Assault Lilly was another good addition to the genre. While the plot is not outstanding, it was well written enough for me to grow to love the girls, empathise with them when they went through adversity and care about their development.
I’m a simple man to please, so cute girls/waifus plus action, drama and yuri undertones are more than enough to satisfy me. If you’re looking for a really fleshed out sto…

Assault Lily: Bouquet. What a way to treat myself for christmas and end the year with.
I myself, is no expert by all means when writing reviews hence I would like to say that my writing may sway from its main purpose before we get into the review. Moreover, I apologise if you, the reader, finds unsuitable things within this review, should it be spelling and grammar or mistakes and inaccuracy.
Assault Lily: Bouquet, the original anime that was made by Shaft that is famously known for their complex stories and their stunning visuals, such as the monogatari series. But this is nothing about what Shaft did in the past, this is about Assault Lily.
We are introduced with Riri, a young girl moving to a military academy and as the defence against Huges,…

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 conc…
