The main visual for the latest Pierrot Magical Girl Series TV anime, "Magical Sisters Lulluto Lily," has been released. Lily and Lulu, holding wands, and Uguisu and Azuki are floating in the air against a neon-colored background, creating a visual that exudes a new yet nostalgic atmosphere. It was also announced that Korean girl group ILLIT will be performing the opening theme, "Bubee," and the first main promotional video featuring the song has been released. It's also generating buzz that this will be the first new Pierrot Magical Girl Series TV anime in roughly 28 years, since the fifth series, "Magical Stage Fancy Lala," which aired in 1998.
"Magical Sisters Lullu Lily" depicts the story of Nonoyama Kaze, an innocent elementary school student, and Nonoyama Ryu, a modest but hardworking middle school student, who use their magical powers to become idols. Kaze and Ryu were close sisters, but the distance between them had been growing. One day, Kaze encounters a mysterious spaceship and is granted magical powers. Meanwhile, Ryu also gains magical powers. Kaze and Ryu transform into the adult forms they had always dreamed of, but there are rules: "The deadline is one year" and "No one must know about the magic," so they each begin to work as idols, unaware of each other's secrets. Kaze transforms into Konpeto Lily, and Ryu transforms into Mashururu.
Shintaro Dokai, who has worked on "Arknights [Perish in Frost]" and other titles, will serve as director and will also be in charge of the original character designs. Yuko Kakihara will be in charge of series composition and scriptwriting. The cast will include Mei Tachibana as the younger sister of the protagonist, Kaze Nonoyama, and Nao Ojika as the older sister, Nagare Nonoyama, as well as Hiroki Nanami, Ai Kayano, Fuka Izumi, and Fuu Hirohara. The series will air in April.
The Pierrot Magical Girl series was broadcast with the first series, "Magical Angel Creamy Mami," airing from 1983 to 1984, the second, "Magical Fairy Persia," from 1984 to 1985, the third, "Magical Star Magical Emi," from 1985 to 1986, the fourth, "Magical Idol Pastel Yumi," in 1986, and the fifth, "Magical Stage Fancy Lala," in 1998.
