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.

no wonder this show has the best voice acting I've heard this year.. they recorded the lines first!

6:56 - 7:14 This. The fact the voice actors were even allowed to do this really made the conversations more natural. After watching Lycoris Recoil, many other anime's conversations sound too polite most of the time or too formal.

"Show that was just as fun for the viewers to watch as it was for the staff to make" ......... That's really what's making this anime and director the best They really checklist all element to make good anime and make it work really well, and "ideal" is the best word for this anime

i didn't know Lycoris Recoil was made by basically a ragtag team of people who are new to what they are doing. The animation was just so good and the fight scenes are so great, heck even the physics of the guns firing are so good that i thought it was a big name group behind all of it.

the reason why i love and still watch anime is each year have some hidden gems and each year they have some originals anime that are worth it to watch

I must say this anime exceeded my expectations. They nailed the visuals, the design, and especially the characters. I also love how the team are so passionate that they will make a lycoris manga after the anime ends I heard lol.

The gun designs and sound effects are so well done. Definitely love the slice of life stuff too. Chisato and Takina's relationship is so wholesome.

I'm actually thankful to the current slow season. If it came out in the previous season or the next season, which are both packed, LycoReco would have flied under the radar of a lot of people.

this anime really did come out of nowhere and it was only through fanart that i finally saw it. I love it!!

Just seeing the characters moving around is just beautiful

Im shameless have not watch this amazing & incredible show at the very start of the Summer season as I have been fixated on one anime in my mind throughout this year. 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.

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.

If Kojima liked this then Iets hope that he makes a game adaptation :D

It's definitely an example of how the best anime can sometimes come from unexpected places.

A lot of people are comparing it John Wick because of Chisato's talent. However this show is more like 90's crime fighting bromances like Lethal Weapon, Bad Boys, Miami Vice, and more.

This anime is awesome with the action and slice of life stuff woven together with great characters. Thanks for providing the info on the background of this story. Lots of attention went into it and it seems like the the voice actors especially had a lot of fun with this show. With originals you never know what to expect each week with the new episode and Lycoris Recoil has certainly kept my attention, waiting anxiously to see what happened next.

With all due respect, Lycoris Recoil is not one of the 2022 best shows. First of all there's no uniqueness nor deep in concept, it's just "cute girls doing cute things". It's executed perfectly, but if you're not fan of this subgenre, you'll find it just good and fun at best. But this is nowhere near level of anime of the year

A1 Pictures loves to either create the greatest shows or the hottest garbages and I love both 🤣

It's a good day when the Canipa effect is in play

I want to point out that while Lyroris Recoil is a good anime, the base concept (female teenage assassins) is not a new concept itself. For that, turn to Gunslinger Girls. Still, Lycoris Recoil handles the execution marvelously.

Woah, Adachi was behind Megaman Battle Network designs as well as worked on... Working? No wonder I like his style so much. Add a great mangaka as designer...

this is the first time that i notice the voice acting in japanese animation. it is sooooooo good!

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

Adachi basically used the entire SAO staff, like almost literally every one, even Matsuoka Yoshitsugu is there.

It a good show and i hope that this is a sign that A-1 Pictures will give the Solo Leveling anime the animation it deserves.

I wonder how Keanu Reeves feels about this. I mean this show is Jhon Wick, Sugar, Spice and everything nice!

Incredible stuff, never knew the char designer was a manga artist before, but god damn her skills are AMAZING as a first-time anime character designer.

After the unfortunate adaptation that "Girls Frontline" had i was already lamenting anime seem to no longer have that love for cool girl and tactical weapons but im happy Lycoris proved that wrong, hopefully it make more people interesthed in these types of anime for more like it in the future!

Bro, this channel is so underrated. Hoping the channel grows a lot. While im at it can i request a studio spotlight : A-1 Pictures

It is a very unique original anime, I'm just worried it won't stick the landing. It also has a bit of tonal whiplash.

It is a great show. It is so much more than an action series. It has depth and is well written.

Such a great show.

WHO IS THE GENUIS WHO DIRECTED THE OPENING cuz I KNOOOOW that whoever did it aHad to do the SAO Alicezation OP with the the handshake with Kirito and Eugeo I KNOW that person had to ghave some kinda influence for Chisato kicking Takinas butt shit is PERFECT need more stuff like that at the end of OPs

I really hope that in season 2 they up the action even more

The killing mcdonald novel seems wild.

10:16 I actually really liked ID-0. I think it's way underrated and flew under the radar. Sure, the character designs pulled me in at first but many other aspects were really good. The director was a veteran of action shows including mecha. The head writer was also a veteran of drama and action. It had a decent story with some unexpected twists. And Sanzigen's 3DCG was probably top notch for the time.

Over 1 min sponsored message... Crazy stuff

Congrats for the advert

My only gripe with this anime is that it's a bit weird how our main characters and "good guys" are a secret police that murders potential criminals, and in the end they convincingly take down the "bad guy" who wanted to expose it. But I loved everything else about the anime so much that I don't even care, it's gone straight into my favourites. Chisato-Takina carried the show, but it also wouldn't be the same without the slick animation, action, gunplay...

Me: "What series has children taken at a young age and trained to fight terrorists in secret, sometimes black ops missions?" My friend: "Halo"

Great video, have been watching this one and I can't wait for the final episode. Nice to learn a bit more about it.

Yeah I love original animes too they always have something special and unique

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.

Excellent video I've been thoroughly enjoying this show! Summer Time Render is still the gold standard of what's currently out atm, but this as well as Made in Abyss have been 2 incredible additions, and easily my top 3 of the season (idk if you'd consider Summer Time Render part of this season, but I am XD ). Regardless, I wish all A-1 productions were like this

Chisato is waifu of the season.

I've been thinking about checking out Lycoris Recoil. I also like anime original series, cause they have an ending as opposed to manga/light novel adaptations.

I certainly did think of Noir & Madlax when I first saw this anime, but I think the slice-of-life comedy really sets it apart from other “girls with guns” anime.

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.

good title 10/10 no remarks

Finally they'll have money to make Ben-To S2

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.

Lethal Weapon + John Wick + Higashi no Eden mmmm, nice 👌🧐

TY FOR THE CODE!!

Man, you're mentioning Konobi, I wish we have a sequel.

man, I just wish that they didn't tack on so much PLOT, especially in the back half. There is an all-timer slice-of-life anime buried underneath uninteresting secret government terrorists hackers superpowers nonsense. The group dynamic and amazing chemistry could've made it an 8-9/10 for me if they just leaned into it more.

Suddenly found this anime on Bilibili when it just 2 episode. Just like that I grow attached of it even though I’d long since watched any anime. This one had some interesting element in the show. My friend even felt the same when seeing the opening that has that one spider liky flower if I’m not guving the name wrong

Finding good anime is a bit like finding gold in a coal mine

if this show has a yuri ending then it scores a 200 outta 10 , like one of the best shows I've watched of all time change my mind.

Would love to see a video on Triggers' and CDPR's new anime, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners

Please talk about Cyberpunk Anime next!!!

>best couple of 2022 Really just forgot the past half year eh?

Amazing as usually. Thanks from Ukraine ❤️

I will always remember "Sakana!" "OOOOH, SAKANAA~"

me seeing loosing heroine novel: oh!! he was the artist for it as well.

This is awesome

Great anime! I'm interested what you think about Akiba Maid War, another anime original.

love the characters and series, let's hope it ends well... 🤞

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.

Best series this year...

So lycorico exists because of Saekano

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.

11:08 Okaaaay

Best Yuri anime of 2022 and I dint even think they intended for it to be a yuri anime

Lycoris recoil is a well written anime with good animation and music but we should not forget that part of its success was that there were literal nothing else to watch this season. If this was release on a different season it would have not become as popular as it is now.

❤️❤️

Damn I was just enjoying random Lycoris Recoil content and I was awarded with free primogems. Feels good

Hell yeah been waiting for a new video thanks capain effect for the lycoris recoil anime video awesome fantastic work first one oh boy love it already thanks again could you do a review video of call of the night anime or the maid I hired is recently unusual anime or when will ayumi make is move anime please when you get a chance .

i want what they have fr

masterpiece

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

Every time you said “a manga” I kept hearing amongus😢

I can't wait to see your video on Chainsaw Man.

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

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

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.

I couldn't make it past three episodes, did it get any better?

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

Does anyone know where can I buy the manga of this series? It says that there was a manga release on September 5, don't know if that's true though

Have you seen classroom of the elite?

Watched this last night and found it underwhelming af Been hyped up too much by y'all, was expecting a lot but it's just the same old generic trash

PG-13 John Wick: Baka

AMBATUKRAI

60 primogems lmao, hoyoverse stingy as always. Anyone want my account? lol

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

I do not think it’s an ideal original anime

Neat.

sakana 😫
