Shintarō Dōge is directing the Magical Sisters Lulutto Lily anime at Studio Pierrot and is credited for the original character designs. Yūko Kakihara supervises and writes the series scripts. Namiko Tori, Hirono Nishiki, and Asami Sodeyama are the character designers.
The story of the anime focuses on the aforementioned Nonoyama sisters, who have grown a little distant recently. One day, Fū encounters a spaceship and gains magical powers, and Rui also gains magical powers as a result. They both transform into the adults they dream of being, but there are two conditions: the magic can only be used for one year, and it must be kept a secret. The pair become idols, all while keeping their secrets from each other.
Pierrot announced the new magical girl anime project back in June 2024. It’s the successor to Pierrot’s past magical anime works, such as Magical Angel Creamy Mami (1983-1984), Magical Fairy Persia (1984-1985), Magical Star Magical Emi (1985-1986), Magical Idol Pastel Yumi (1986), and Fancy Lala (1998).
