Momentary Lily

This anime is gorgeous, but there's so much detail and so many effects that combat ends up being kind of hard to follow. Things move so quickly that reading the subtitles becomes harder as well (and I watch anime so much that reading subtitles is basically subconscious at this point). Combine this and it actually starts to be a little tiring to watch. The calmer parts of the show fall into the cute girls doing cute things area. The cooking scenes are fun but they strangely choose to go to super simple animation here, which is unfortunate because the slow pace would allow you to actually take in the detail better. The story itself is kind of interesting so far (after two episodes) but it feels like it took a backseat to the animation.

I'm giving this a 6/10 because it's beautiful. I don't feel like we're far enough into the season for me to judge it on anything but the animation, so it lost a few points due to how hard it is to follow sometimes.
