Sorry Lycoris Recoil fans, but if we're talking about which one is actually better, Engage Kiss wins.

Lycoris Recoil is a pretty good buddy cop Anime with cute girls and great action scenes, but the writing, story and plot holes in the Anime are pretty bad. Engage Kiss is clearly the superior of the two, seeing it has great action scenes, cute girls but also good writing and an engaging story.

I’m starting to think people don’t know what the term plot hole means.

Anyway, the writing on the same level lmfao. Lycoris Recoil pulls shit out their arse nearly every episode. The ammo makes zero sense and then randomly making the characters superhuman when it's relevant is not good writing.

"Secret Organisation Police"

*proceeds to have full on gun fights in public places*

Yet for some reason nobody gets suspicious, lazy writing. Also don't get me started on the characters all of a sudden getting superhuman abilities during the fights.

Um, this anime falls under the first category (all-girl main cast). I don’t mind female mcs, but I don’t care for CGDCT series, even if it’s an action anime. Pity that you couldn’t read properly. Also, fans of this series are claiming that there are yuri vibes, but I won’t bother to find out

Yea but Demon Slayer isn't trying to portray Tanjiro as a normal person with a higher than average skill level with a gun. Worldbuilding is important and if you ignore the laws of the world you're creating because it's convenient for the fights, then that should be criticised. Engage Kiss actually does a great job at this too, Shuu doesn't have any special abilities and we seen in episode 4 he didn't suddenly become Deadshot with a handgun when he attempted to shot the demon. Before people tell me about his sniper shot in the last episode, remember it was Kisara who told him where to aim, so she set up the shot.

Did you really try to make fun of me? That's funny.

Do you realize how dumb your complain is? It's like if I say "Engage Kiss doesn't make sense because it has demon in it, so it's bad writing!"

Both are good productions so far, it's a bit too early to compare them in terms of writing etc. Personally I like engage kiss more cause I'm a fan of more mature romance stories, it also has a good balance of story, action, comedy and fanservice

Lycoris is better so far, but Engage Kiss will have more episodes which means they can improve the story and have a great finale.

Hope they will.

Meh engage kiss is pretty generic compared to lycoris recoil.
engage kiss feels like a combination of guilty crown and future diary, and you can probably guess were the plot is heading
The person writing this anime original is the same person the did that travesty white album so I don't have much hope for this show


Yes because Cute Girls with guns is such an original concept. Also the person did White Album 2 not White Album, ya know, the one with a 7.63 MAL score. So at least get your facts straight.

It's more original than Engage kiss,
I believe I didn't specify which white album
Yh cause 7.63 is such an amazing score
This anime is currently on 7.25 And sinking further


7.63 actually is an impressive score. Engage Kiss is low because the first 2 episodes were a total misdirection and episodes 3 and 4 completely switched the tone of the show.

I prefer Lycoris Recoil, which they have actually well written characters. The yandere trope is so overused and could have been better. The MC is a joke and only now is it somewhat interesting. But it’s just a worse version of Guilty Crown.

The fuck are you on , dude the cute girls with guns have been wayyyy overused compared to yanderes, so fuck off with that. Lycoris Recoil is the most overrated show this season and that is a fact.

That’s cool dude. Enjoyment still trumps everything. I think this show is not great while I think LycoReco is fun. It is what it is.

in terms of premise, I say this show is superior. The girls with guns has been done a bit too much so far. In terms of music, I say Lycoris is better. Action wise, somewhat same, maybe this one. Overall, I do think this premise leads itself to a better story since establishing the premise and mysteries is very important for the first couple of episodes.

Neither really have good writing or even an engaging story. But at least Lycoris Recoil has good chemistry between the characters so its obviously better.

I watched the first episode of both shows and I was let down by both. However I'll give Lycoris another chance once it ends because you can see their budget was higher. OST, animation, VAs, everything was on a higher level. I just didn't like the story that much.
All Engage Kiss has is a cute main girl, that's all. Everything else is meh or bad.

Where did I imply that they are anything alike? Just because I said that "It's the Takt Op. of this season" does not mean that it has to have any similarities story wise. It's this seasons "original anime that ppl will give some slack despite not having a lot interesting going for it - in relation to plot, characters etc. - just because the art style and animation is good"

Watched 1st episode of both, the impression i got from Lycoris is better than Engage kiss. While i'm not into Yuri myself but Lycoris managed to keep me focused to the show especially how lively Chisato is, i say the character is well written. Engage Kiss however, from 1st episode i can tell where the story is going with the triangle love and weak ML but strong FL. Date a live fans will surely love this though.

I personally dislike man-slut MC . The impression i got from the MC on this 1st episode is really bad, he is leeching off the FL while being a complete hypocrite. This type of man i hate the most TBH.

The visual for both is top-notch though, i will continue to watch Lycoris hoping there's no downhill on the road and I'll give another try for Engage kiss hoping it will grab my attention, but I will drop it if after 3 episode this anime fail to get me hooked.

Conclusion, i prefer Lycoris over Engage Kiss at least for now.

To be honest, COTE is the only anime worth watching this season, and even with that, the adaptation is horrendous. Can’t believe that LERCHE are the same mfs who animated hanako-kun and AC.
