Review contain spoiler scenes
Lapis Re:LiGHTs is just an advertisement for a mobile gacha game with girls idols. About which I want to talk a little.

The anime is made at the young studio Yokohama Animation Lab (YAL), founded by Oogami Yuuma . Prior to that, he worked as a CG producer at the Silver Link studio, supposedly that's why there's so much 3D in the YAL studio projects.
Specifically, Lapis was engaged in sub-studio Cloud Hearts, which is made up mostly of former White Fox animators. You might have met them, for example, in Gamers!, where they outsource several episodes.
Moving away from production details, in terms of content Lapis is a anime about idols at the magic academy.
▶ VideoThe characters here are a complete standard, the events are standard, the 3D performances are rather weak.
Interest is boosted when the credits for the fifth episode contain the names of Shaft Studio workers, such as Ito Yoshiaki Itou and Hiroto Nagata.
Although some of the backgrounds were not very good, Lapis is remembered for the setting.
Demonstrated in episode 10, Praça do Comércio Square hints that the local detailing clearly has a Portuguese flavor.
