Synopsis

The number of terrorist acts in Japan has never been lower, thanks to the efforts of a syndicate called Direct Attack (DA). The organization raises orphaned girls as killers to carry out assassinations under their "Lycoris" program. Takina Inoue is an exceptional Lycoris with a strong sense of purpose and a penchant for perfection. Unfortunately, a hostage situation tests her patience, and the resulting act of insubordination leads to her transfer out of DA. Not thrilled about losing the only place she belonged to, she reluctantly arrives at her new base of operations—LycoReco, a cafe in disguise.

Takina's new partner, however, turns out to be quite different from what she imagined. Despite being the famed Lycoris prodigy, Chisato Nishikigi appears almost unconcerned with her duties. She drags Takina along on all kinds of odd jobs under the simple explanation of helping people in need. Takina is even more puzzled when Chisato takes down a group of armed assailants without killing any of them. Feeling like a fish out of water, Takina itches to get reinstated into DA—but Chisato is determined to prove to her that there is more to a life than just taking them.

Not really my type of show but ended up giving it a chance. Ended up as expected. Theres no meaningful story, character or happening. Its very simple slice of life/humor accompanied by some action. If one wants a more simple show like that Lycoris Recoil might resonate more with you.

The OP or ED i wasnt a fan of.

Ill admit the animation and art was great though. Very nice looking anime.

But other than that theres just not much more to say. Its very bland. Story. Characters. Really dont see how this sticks out more than other similar shows with lower ratings down to ...

I think it's an overrated anime for its score. I don't think the anime is a bad anime, it's a good anime to watch. It has fun scenes, good animation and music. But I couldn't find anything special in the anime.

There are many illogical scenes and moments in the story of the anime. Raising orphaned girls and using them as weapons is a very controversial topic in itself, but I found it strange that no one touched on it throughout the anime. Little kids hacking a huge organization with ease, schoolgirls fighting terrorists (what's their goal?)... things like this are far from realistic and cliche ...

I wanted to like Lycoris Recoil, but I found myself disappointed.

Lycoris is a comfort show masquerading as a more complex one. The dystopia is not meaningfully examined, and the problems with it are scape-goated onto a “return to monkey” anprim idiot. For the main two characters, I could ship it, but they are a little generic, as are all the characters. The existence of Kurumi’s character, in particular, makes me want to commit hate crimes.

It’s fine to write a silly show about cute girls doing cute things, but seeing Lycoris Recoil’s set up and promises of more exciting complexities while having characters dodge bullets on ...
