About Assault Lily: Bouquet

Here is what Assault Lily: Bouquet is about, retold in plain terms: an action, fantasy and magic anime by Shaft (2020). The setup: Fifty years ago, enigmatic creatures known as the "Huge" all at once appeared all over the realm, 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 ability weapons called "Counter Huge ARMS" or "CHARMS.

Soon after, 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 finds out 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 struggle alone.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with Shaft, which means the visual identity of Assault Lily: Bouquet follows that studio's craft. The action focus matters here: fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Its 6.5/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. It aired in 2020, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
