"In the not too distant future Earth is under siege. Monstrous creatures known as Huge run amok, threatening humanity with total extinction. Yet all is not as bad as it seems. Thanks to the creation of the anti-Huge weapon system CHARM (Counter Huge Arms), mankind has proven able to keep the threat at bay—if only at the cost of its young and finest. After teenage girls are found to be the best at maximizing CHARM’s combat effectiveness, a string of military academies known as Gardens was established to train select girls to become CHARM wielders. While chosen girls are revered as Lilies for the protection and support they provide, a life of fighting is no easy task, and as new recruit Hitotsuyanagi Riri (Akao Hikaru) will discover, it’s also one with far more to it than meets the eye."

Another season, yet another 'girls fighting monsters in frilly outfits' show... Not much to set this apart, but the direction and animation is actually pretty striking. The few actions scenes don't skimp and the paint by numbers characters are cute enough (dem bow-legs!)... I'd recommend giving it an episode or two.
