so, I finally watched assault lily bouquet after the OP got stuck in my head (fucking bandori man), and while it is just mahou shojo with final fantasy mecha swords that also turn into guns fighting huge ass monsters (aptly named HUGE) its kinda fun. it's silly, it's cringy, it's yuri and not what I usually watch, but entertaining af (although I have the suspicion it's gonna end badly). maybe my taste is just that low-tier these days. and it was great to hear karin takahashi and hikaru akao again.
however, after looking it up I was surprised to see it only got two LNs, which are a few years old at that. otoh it got 2 stage plays this year. I'd expected it to be "bigger" to get an anime (but then I can't read moon to deep-dive into the nip sources and I don't touch western communities even with a 10 foot pole).
