If you're looking for something that's able to encapsulate your feelings, bring about laughter and joy, suspense, and tells a phenomenal story; this is the anime to watch. The anime came first before any manga/light novel serialization happened. There are objectives, & plot points that wouldn't be expected from reading the description of the anime.
The characters feelings and their actions are executed excellently with proper reason(s) relating to each one of the characters. The best example would be Chisato and her refusal to kill. Chisato's teachings to Takina regarding the preservation of life/lives. The backstory behind Chisato is a unique one, that's worth a look at.
The animation of Lycoris Recoil is spectacular, on-par with some of the greatest out there. It's simulation of realistic situations, fights, and overall situations is depicted phenomenally; down to the most miscellaneous frame.
If anything above has peaked some form of interest, then give this anime a watch.
