Everything to know about Momentary Lily

Promotional material and the trailer of Momentary Lily masterfully conceal action-filled sequences behind the ordinary. They seem to be hidden behind a trailer full of high school girls engaging in comedic and wholesome activities. This goes to show the anime's intention of blending slice-of-life antics with detailed and well-thought-out battle scenes.

Momentary Lily is an original anime by the studio GoHands. The animation company gained attention thanks to its adaptation of popular series such as The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses and The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again Today. Now, Katsumasa Yokomine, who oversaw both anime, returns as director once more to spearhead Momentary Lily.

The trailer highlights a lot of domestic activities that the main cast gets caught up in. However, a synopsis of the anime reveals that there will be a lot more happening simultaneously with the story. Now whether this will be all-out action or GoHands adds in something more subversive is yet to be seen.

Momentary Lily episode 1: What to expect

Momentary Lily episode 1 will feature an introduction to the girls and the world they live in. Cooking together, they also battle otherworldly threats with iconic and unique weaponry while navigating secrets to their past and the world. Considering the directness of the trailer, Puella Magi Madoka Magica has strongly influenced the magical girl genre and this anime will likely feature similar elements.

The opening and closing themes— Oishii Survivor by HANABIE and Real by miwa respectively— should enhance Momentary Lily episode 1 and further justify the hype surrounding its release. The first episode will contribute massively to setting the tone for the following 13 for season 1.
