Magical Sisters Lulutto Lilly Anime Streams Main Trailer for 2nd Part – News

Bandai Namco Filmworks revealed on Thursday the main promotional video for the second cours (quarter of a year) of Mahō no Shimai Lulutto Lilly (Magical Sisters Lulutto Lilly), the new magical girl television anime that it is presenting with Studio Pierrot. The video previews the new opening theme song “Swingin’ Magic” by K-pop girl group ILLIT.

The anime’s story centers on sisters Fū and Rui, who used to be close, but have been a bit distant from each other recently. One day, Fū encounters a mysterious spaceship and gains magical powers. At that same time, Rui also gains magical powers, and both transform into the adults they dream to be. The sisters’ powers come with two conditions: their magic powers can only be used in one year, and no one must know about it. Unaware of each other’s secrets, Fū and Rui become active as idols.

The anime’s second part will debut on October 4 on Tokyo MX at 10:30 p.m. JST, and will also run on ABC TV, TV Aichi, BS NTV, and AT-X.

The anime stars:

Takako Ohta and Yū Mizushima, who voiced Yū Morisawa / Creamy Mami and Toshio Ohtomo respectively in the Magical Angel Creamy Mami anime franchise, also appear in the anime as guest cast members.

Previously announced new cast members for the second part include Miyari Nemoto as Asahi Araki, Yusuke Shirai as Mucchi, and Yūko Natsuyoshi as Shiromofu.

The idol unit Lulutto Lilly, which consists of the anime’s main characters Lilly Konpeto (voiced by May Tachibana) and Lulu Mashū (voiced by Nao Ojika) will perform the new ending theme song “Dream a la Mode.”
