The Kojima stuff is extra funny, since the only reason he stumbled on the show was because he was looking for Licorice Pizza and mistook it for that.

@@VladDascaliuc that filler is important for all character development and making viewer having more connections toward them more natural We know now a days many viewer have short span attention and waiting for build up to climax is really hard, and half half format is working in this anime with how popular in japanese viewer and my circle I don't say this anime is perfect, but they just "by the book effective"

[@VladDascaliuc]

@@anotherrio9375 No, the filler is filler because it doesn't further character development and plot. I'm saying that they added way too much fluff for way too little development of whatever the main story is, which has really harmed the pacing of the show past the half way point. Having a chill episode after some serious stuff happening is fine. This show being a constant of half or more than half of "chill time" is just tone deaf for when something does happen, as it is not allowed to set in. It took us to get to the 10th episode for the plot to finally kick in, somewhat. Worst still, the worldbuilding is still total wack because it took a backsit in favour of the "Cute anime girls" thing. The show is fun. The animation is great (As one would expect given its background, I guess), Chisato's seiyuu is phenomenal and several of the funny bits are really well delivered. But I cannot understand where the overpositive attitude for it comes from, beyond what I mentioned.

But I just recently started watching it a few weeks ago and I have to amid this show looks awesome with cute girls with guns in action and for that I really like this show. I like these two main girls as I like how different their personality’s and their relationship is interesting as well. I kinda like the fact Takina a cold & serious girl becomes a partner to energetic & light hearted girl name Chisato and seeing these two characters together is something interesting of their relationship. I also like the fact that Chisato changes Takina from being a cold hearted to become light hearted because of Chisato bright & cheerful personality. And as the result, it make Takina happy as well seeing her smiling.

[@kingdanett4043]

I haven't watched this but I'm gonna try soon because of this video. The animations of the girls just like Tulio and Miguel from the Road to El Dorado but if it was recent and they were dating. Specifically the shot where the red girl puts her fingers up in a weird way the black haired girl is just in the background. I love they're dynamic and I wish more things would go and do that.

I was interested with this anime before release, character trailers, trailers, synopsis caught my interest. Being an original just add extra points and gosh it was a perfect choice to watch it. I really love story ( even if pretty simple, it's well executed), strong characters ( everyone is interesting), clean animation, great combination of slice of life/ chaos fun/ action/ emotions, great arts and nice music. Overall everything works here. I can't wait for every new episode, 7 days are a pain here. Without any source it's nice to talk with ppl what may happen, what hints they caught, overall theories. It's sad only 3 episodes are left, tho if they don't fck up the ending ( I don't believe, they are able to do it, so far they are doing a great job) this will be my anime of the season and high chance for anime of the year :v

[@iinsaniity6729]

I can appreciate the animation and voice acting of Lycoris Recoil, and seeing this insight into the development of the anime is excellent, but did anyone not like the show? Everywhere I look it receives high praise as if it's anime of the year. I felt as if the plot and characters were a little weak. The motivations of characters, especially the villains, were weak and felt contrived. The special abilities of Chisato felt painful to watch, especially when she (or other Lycoris) makes trivial mistakes in some scenarios that seem out of character and only exist to advance the plot. Don't wanna write an essay, but overall the plot was underwhelming. In my opinion, the constant shifting in tone between the action, emotional/serious scenes, and the café slice of life scenes just made the show feel like it was confused in its delivery. Rather than establishing rules in the universe for certain events to happen, it felt as if the viewer was expected to suspend their belief for a few too many things. One last thing: is Majima fully blind or not? Part of why it's somewhat of a shock to learn that he is blind (I still don't know if he is or not) is how his character acts completely like someone who can see until it is shown that he has incredible hearing and can use it to analyze every aspect of his surroundings. It felt like an unnecessary twist just to make the fight between Chisato and him more interesting.

[@Evilprimarch]

There is a small but at the same time huge issue with this anime for me. It's magic "rubber" bullets that don't even leave a bruise on human skin but at the same time pierce walls, cars, and possibly armor.

[@willyvereb]

I don't think they pierce armor and I don't think they pierced more than car doors or wooden planks. Which, surprise, aren't really that durable. Car doors are just two thin sheets of mild steel with some soft backing between. Unlike what TV shows demonstrate they are terrible as barrier. Same is true for drywalls, certain types of doors and so forth. This is part of the "reality is unrealistic" trope. These don't provide cover against even a .22LR. As for how a bullet which is supposed to be soft on impact penetrate anything... density of objects does influence how bullets behave. That and we don't know whether the bullets have some sorts of microsensor to self-destruct when hitting humans. They turn into red smoke on impact from the rubber or whatever material disintegrating so I figure there's more than just sheer impact at work.

[@Evilprimarch]

@@willyvereb Bullets with such a sensor plus self-destruct system would probably have a specialized production line to offset their cost (and therefore be distributed to police to match the demand). Yet, they are nowhere to be seen, aside from feeding Chisato's gun, in a situation where the cafe had trouble making ends meet until certain plot point (an order for such ammo would be quite expensive, by the order of magnitude if ammo is not, in fact, mass produced). Additionally, I doubt these "super ethical bullets" would only act like that with humans, and say, not with animals by design, which, paradoxically, makes their existence even more unfeasible. Even weirder is the fact that bullet destroys clothes at the point of impact and dissipates upon contact with skin. These bullets ARE a McGuffin, no matter the possible justification. On the off chance, the bullets COULD be provided by Alan Insitute for Chisato specifically (which is the only explanation that holds water, unless there are other in-universe groups that hold this kind of future tech), but it also is confusing given the inconsistent timeline of Insitute's involvement with the cast - that would mean that bullets weren't always readily available.

@@lusoclement3787 The way manga releases work in Japan is that there are magazines which contains one chapter from say, 20 different mangas. When enough chapters of a certain manga has been released in the magazine, they are compiled into a separate book/volume, which is what people typically buy when they say they are "buying manga". So your options are: 1) Buy the entire magazine monthly, with one chapter of Lycoris Recoil or 2) Wait for enough chapters of Lycoris Recoil to be released (which The Canipa Effect correctly mentions would take about a year) and buy the compiled volume

[@Ryuseishun]

Deleted my previous comment because I didn't want to receive backlash from simply wanting more daring ventures with anime originals even if they're far from foolproof (plenty of examples I've witnessed where they did fail hard). Honestly I'm really glad that Lycoris Recoil has been doing very well so far. It's quite funny how in many ways it managed to gather so much attention after even being initially advertised as most people thought was a mellow slice of life cafe setting. Considering the amount of attention it's gotten (it's always a top trender in Japan every Saturday), I wouldn't be surprised if it even gets extra stuff like sequels or spinoffs. Hopefully everything works out for the best.

Original Animes are imo better than your standard manga-to-anime

Have you seen classroom of the elite?

[@CorvoA77ano]

To be honest, I don't really like it that much. It's well, fine I would say. I would like to see a Sakomoto Days animation done with the same amount of passion though.

Recommending an original anime, while sponsored by a copycat game at the beginning of the video. It makes total sense and very convincing!

A handsome narrator glorifying one of the best shows of this season?? Hell yeah! Let me hear what you have to say :3

[@Smug1eaf]

Not a big fan of the show since I feel it kind of meanders story wise but I can always appreciate the passion put on the project, LET ALONE the money put into it. It oozes style even in the sound design and mixing, CLARIS being involved is the cake topper. Hope you cover Anipocalipse next season since it looks like every studio is bringing out the big guns.

[@ALegitimateYoutuber]

ya, for me the show just doesn't really have much too it. It does things well, but the character don't seem that special nor does the story. But i only gave it 3 episodes, so maybe it changes. But right now it just feels just quality generic.

@@ALegitimateKZbinr Yeah, slice of life about teenage girl assassins running a café is so generic. Just a dime a dozen.

[@Smug1eaf]

@@JoelBurger The premise is not generic but adding a new angle to yuri SOL doesn't make it suddenly War and Peace. It's undeniably well made and I'm sure the people that love that stuff will love it. My show for the season is MiA but it tends to filter people like crazy so I don't expect people to suddenly praise it for the complexity of the narrative when the toilet that licks people clean is part of the cast and progression.

​@@JoelBurgerSeriously. It's like underwear for gunfights it's so common.😜

This anime is how you should write strong female characters. Marvel take note!

[@yumenokoyume]

This is what I like about original anime. No reading the manga after wards

[@WickedAnimeTroll]

Kinda wish the story and writing were as good as its production values. It is not bad but also suffers from similar issues like the also airing Engage kiss: Both shows should be 24 episodes and spend more time fleshing out the characters, their relations and the setting because what we actually got is somewhat unfocused and too fast paced at times resulting in plot holes and some shitty writing as well (I am looking at you eps. 3 in how you ruined Takina's conflict with DA that you established in the prior two episodes...). I will wait for it to finish before I will make some final judgement but unless there is a drastic shift, be it positive or negative, the show is at best just a decent time waster because of its actions and superficial character moments.

[@jiangciyang3860]

Update: Episode 12 ruined the entire logic of and buildup of the whole anime Welp I guess the first 11 episodes are still top.
