Unfortunately, there is not much other information about the Momentary Lily anime available as of this article’s writing. This is largely due to it being an original television anime, meaning there’s no source material to reference for story details and such. However, the latest trailer suggests an action-packed series filled with flashy powers and battles. In fact, the trailer is entirely made up of nothing but fight scenes, making it difficult to discern any other information on the story.
