A new anime project for the Lycoris Recoil anime series was announced at the Lycoris Recoil Café Presents After Party! Tomorrow is another day. event on Saturday.

The original anime aired in 13 episodes in Summer 2022. Aniplex of America licensed the anime in North America and streamed it on Crunchyroll, with a subsequent English dub.

Lycoris Recoil marked the directorial debut of Shingo Adachi (Sword Art Online character design, chief animation director) at A-1 Pictures. Asaura (Ben-To manga) penned the script and Imigimuru (Kono Bijutsubu ni wa Mondai ga Aru! manga) designed the characters. Shuuhei Mutsuki (Sansha Sanyou) composed the music.

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. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Disappointing. The continuation of mindless schlock proves consumers’ decent into stupidity.

I already saw Entertainment District Arc and yeah it's full of shit, plot armour, sudden power ups, and dumb sequence. The only difference between the two is DS is a fantasy battle shounen while LycoReco can be realistic at some point. There are no power ups or fantasy elements whatsoever in LycoReco but damn the writing is so pathetic and worse than I thought. Who could imagine that many agents and civilians are being killed in front of many people and after a few seconds the government told the people that it was just a show?


How come you saying that Lycoris Recoil being able to be realistic at some point make the stupid things worse? It makes no sense.
Because the themes there like gun shootings, terrorists, syndicates, agents, etc can happen in real life. What it sucked were the plot holes, bad writing, inaccurate trajectory of the gun shooting, and the unrealistic scenes like bullet dodging etc. as if it didn't made sense at all.

I hope there will be any development in Takina and Chisato relationship 👀👀

There's no way Kimetsu makes more sense than Lycoris Recoil, have you seen the Red District Arc of Kimetsu? That arc alone had far more unexplainable shit than everything that Lycoris has done across the series.

As if it needs to improve the writing, well, yes, Lycoris definitely dropped the ball in writing around the last episodes, you can see they were far more concentrated with Takina and Chisato's friendship than in the actual plot, so when they decided to focus more on the plot it turned out weird. But this is a sequel that isn't needed, I don't think the writing will improve much.

Or maybe the writer should continue with the same style as last time because it was successful and people want more of it.
