Momentary Lily

Dear fellow reader, let me throw you into a wild hypothetical scenario.

Picture this: you stumble upon the ultimate cure for cancer. Sounds epic, right? Now imagine pouring your heart into it, but no one gives you the time of day. The cure stays hidden, cancer keeps winning, and you're just... stuck. How would that hit you?

That's my vibe with Momentary Lily. Hands down, it's the most slept-on gem of the Winter 2025 season. This anime yeets you into a post-apocalyptic rollercoaster where humanity's teetering on the edge (or maybe already toast) thanks to some freaky, unnegotiable creatures.

Your mission as a viewer? Figure out what's going down.

Each episode levels up harder than the last. You'll be cooking up a storm of theories to crack the mystery, only tenuor every mind-blowing ep to smash them to bits.

The finale? Total brain-fry territory-leaving you with a gazillion questions but wrapping up with pure class.

Momentary Lily is the undisputed GOAT of Winter 2025. Sadly, the woke hate train derailed it over some ecchi and fanservice spice, robbing too many fans of this banger. And here's the kicker: who says ecchi can't flex a killer story?

Momentary Lily proves you can have steamy fanservice and a gripping plot that slaps. Too bad the woke mob caught on and tried to bury it so no one would clock its brilliance.

Don't let the haters gatekeep you-dive into this masterpiece and stan it hard!

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.
