Assault Lily: Bouquet (2024)

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 ...

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 ...

So far, Assault Lily: Bouquet isn't an awful show per se, but it's sorely lacking in originality.

For starters, the concept is straight out of RWBY -- teenage girls with gunblades fighting against evil monsters that threaten humanity. We have a similar high school setting to early RWBY -- hell we're introduced to our naive protagonist on her first day at the academy, and she immediately meets a rich heiress who eventually becomes a close friend. Like, it doesn't even try to hide this part -- episode 3 starts off by revealing everyone has a semblance... er sorry, "Rare Skill".

However, that's still a fun enough ...

There is a lot to say about how Assault Lily is so far, is it bad? Is it good? Well let me explain.

I feel somewhat in the middle when it comes to Assault Lily so far, wouldn't say it's a bad anime, but it's a good one at best. Let's start off with the characters. We've got a wide bunch of a cast, with some interesting and deep backgrounds when it comes to some, but also with how the story that has been set up, it just makes you interested in a more in depth look on the characters, and what they can offer. Which ...

To summarize: this anime isn't very good. I particularly find fault in the protagonist Riri's naivety, to the point it's annoying. In cliche bishojo naivety, Riri follows her Onee-sama foil Yuyu in the path of a Lily, another bishojo-with-weapons warrior fighting against unknown enemies, like Madoka Magica, Brave Witches, or Toji no Miko.

Unfortunately, unlike its superior brethren above, Assault Lily does not do anything to differentiate itself from the pack. It spends the first four episodes hanging worn tropes like teasing a "secretly" overpowered-protagonist, showing fanservice bathtowel scenes, and not fleshing out its protagonist outside of her interactions with her idol Yuyu. Riri is ...

Assault Lily Bouquet takes place in a all girls school/ training facility for Lilies.
A Lily's duty is to fight mages, the monsters that are roaming the world and that pose a huge treath to humanity.

The two main characters Yuyu and Riri are very different but still have a strong bond to one another.

Yuyu is a cold, frightening and misterious girl with a sad backstory that does not have many friends.

while Riri is a fun, cheerful and openhearted girl.

As for the other characters there's not much to say, they all have pretty much the same personality and I can't remember a ...

I tried to give this a show a chance, I forced myself through as much of it as possible until I couldn't anymore.

When it shows action it is well done and competent but most everything else is bland and boring.

Most of the characters are barely tropes with barely enough screentime to even develop that far. The two main characters get a little bit of development but everyone else is relegated to tropes or basically being a background character in the main cast.

I know people love their cute girl shows with hints of (or doused in) Yuri but this doesn't feel like it should even satisfy ...

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, ...

Someone should teach people not to judge anime by first 4 episodes. This anime starts slow and bland, but after a few episodes it becomes one of the best things I have ever seen.

The plot is your clasiccal "teenage girls fightnign monsters", but man oh man do they do it in a spectacular way. The story keeps nice balance between fights and relations, and is unexpectidally deep. You might think that the only negative thing in the story is the background of one of the girls, but then...(#nospoiler, go see it lol)

The art is well-refined and polished, and basically CGI-free. Every edge feels nice and ...

I got bored of the show really quickly the plot was actually something that could be interesting but as of so far they haven't done anything with it and the characters were badly written all of them are one dimensional especially the main character shes just so boring and annoying. the art and music were good but not good enough for me to stick with the series. I think its an okay yuri anime overall and they had really cute scenes most of my problems come from the fighting scenes and characters. Anyway to summarise

Pros
Cute scenes
Yuri
Amazing op
Cool character designs

Cons

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 ...

I was really looking forward to watching Assault Lily back when I first heard about it last year because the character designs looked great and I thought the concept had potential, even if it wasn't the most original idea in the world. However, I was also slightly concerned it would end up being a glorified toy commercial to sell merch, among other things, and unfortunately it turned into pretty much all the things I was worried it would become.

First I'll start with the things I enjoyed about it, and then I'll move onto the more negative aspects that I had problems with.

First Review so ignore if it may sound weird but,
If you are here to watch thicc waifus doing one on one yuri action, then this is the show for you.

Story
Don't expect too much from the story since it the old world conquered by some random alien and trying to kill everyone in its path and special troops called lily are there to defend. Did you feel anything, I am sure you did not.

Character:
Nice thicc characters and all-female so enjoy the girl on girl action.

Art:
Character design good, the story has tried to put a soul in it, but till the 3rd episode, not much of the ...

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

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 ...

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.
