LatestThe most powerful Huge yet is attacking Yurigaoka, and Riri is the only one left who can fight! Can Yuyu overcome her past in time to join her? And what can the other Lilies do against an enemy that disables their weapons?
On Earth in the near future, humanity faced imminent destruction from mysterious giant creatures known as "Huge." The entire world unites against the Huge, and successfully develops weaponry known as "CHARM" (Counter Huge Arms) by combining science and magic. CHARM exhibits high rates of synchronization with teenaged girls, and the girls who use CHARM are viewed as heroes called "Lilies." Throughout the world, "Garden" military academies are established to train Lilies to face the Huge and to serve as bases to protect and guide people. Riri Hitotsuyanagi managed to pass the exam to enter the prestigious Garden known as Yurigaoka Girls' School. She entered in an attempt to find Yuyu Shirai, a girl who rescued her in her past. This is a story about Riri and other girls who aim to become Lilies at one such Garden.

Reactions from the web
Shaft, the studio who made Madoka Magica, is really making a show about cute girls fighting monsters. What can go wrong?

I liked the first episode, though it was very busy. Also whoever made this show clearly has a thigh fetish. ... not that I'm complaining mind you...
