The Assault Lily Bouquet anime was hit or miss, to put it nicely, but I think the game is a lot better both in yuri content and when it comes to just telling good stories
Agreed. I like Assault Lily overall, but it's such a chaotic franchise, the anime rushed all the time, trying to explain everything all at once. And sometimes it feels like a hundred different people are working on the story without talking to each other.
The game is better, but sometimes it feels off too. Like in the "Blue Strike of the Soulmates" event, they just dance around the relationship between Yuxia and Shenlin and insist on calling them "best friends", while in the manga they're already dating.
