The upcoming new Pierrot Magical Girl Series anime Magical Sisters LuluttoLilly is set to begin airing in April 2026.
In the meantime, a pilot film and teaser visual provide a brief preview of the magical girl show’s vibes and its two protagonists. Expect to see a lot of comforting pinks and blues.
Those two leads are elementary schooler Fu Nonoyama (blue-haired, voiced by Mei Tachibana) and middle schooler Rui Nonoyama (pink-haired, voiced by Nao Ojika), sisters who are no longer as close as they were before. After obtaining magic separately, they gain the ability to transform into older bodies — Fu turns into CompatoLilly, while Rui becomes MashuLulu.
The catch? The magic will only last for one year, and they can’t let anyone know about the existence of magic. Under these conditions, and without knowing of one another’s secret, the two sisters began idol activities.
Directing Magical Sisters LuluttoLilly is animator Shintaro Doge, who is also credited with the character design drafts. The crew also includes:
• Series composer and scriptwriter: Yuko Kakihara (The Aquatope on White Sand and Blue Orchestra series composer)
• Character designer: Namiko Torii (The Girl from the Other Side [2022] co-main animator, the upcoming Agents of the Four Seasons)
• Character designer: Hirono Nishiki
• Character designer: Asami Sodeyama (Mahotsukai Precure!! ~Mirai Days~)
