Review of Lapis Re:LiGHTs

Lapis was probably my second or third favourite show of Summer 2020. Going into the series I had never heard of it, but my interest was piqued by the combination of idol girls and mahou shojo, both of which I love. After all, who doesn't enjoy cute anime girls singing and fighting monsters, right? Luckily, I was not disappointed at all and was actually rather taken a back by the quality of writing and the great characters in the show. The story, for me, was actually rather unique and managed to put a cool spin on common idol tropes. I found the concept of thewitch academy and magic being intertwined to music to be very fun. The humour managed to land with me, which is always a plus with anime and the girls are just damn cute. You really can't ask for much more in this genre and I think Lapis will provide an enjoyable experience for anyone looking for a fun watch. You'll become emotionally invested in the girls and their journey as well learn a few new songs along the way.

My only negative point to the show is that it's only 12 eps long. It's certainly been a nice way to kick off my weekends for the past 3 months and I will really miss it. Fortunately, we do have a manga for more content.
