"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

@@anotherrio9375 We can't be having a "half and half" distribution going into the 9th episode of a 13 episodes show. There's a lot of filler with too little plot at that point.
@@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"
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
@@carlosdanielcalderonmontoy3723 yes its surprising how anime keep its quality so high and so consistent each season i mean each season there are 1 or 2 new anime that is a hidden gem or is a banger of the season that nobody heard of unlike video games where there are 1 or 2 games each year that is amazing but end up being meh
as a seasonal who give 3eps rule to almost all anime airing between 2017 to 2022 the amount of hidden gem is astounding and the amount of ok show but have those great scene is even more
@@carlosdanielcalderonmontoy3723 hell yea 2020 definitely isn't a all out blazing gun year but if ur a seasonal watcher who gives a 3eps rule you find a lot of unique and exciting shows d4dj is the only slice of life 3d anime that somehow works other than 15fps during the concert scene akudama drive crazy ride talentless nana mind games assault lily 4k yuri banger ed of peter kenja and whisker away yorushika ost and more
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
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.
Actually the company release two animes, Engage Kiss and Lycoris Recoil, but they put all their marketing in Engage Kiss, but it seems that the popularity have bounce, because Lycoris Recoil become way more popular than Engage Kiss, I began watching both animes, but by episode three I only watched Lycoris Recoil now.
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.
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 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.
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.
@@holycrapthatsalotofketchup253 I mean you will be fan of atleast something that A1 has made whether original or adaptation doesn't matter 72% of their shows come out very good or great and few come with mind blowing levels in short they are studio I can trust quite blindly meanwhile Wit is betraying everyone at this point idk why though like why would you quit The Ancient Magus Bride that thing literally has the potential to become the next Inuyasha in terms of fantasy setting and yet Wit just said nope they really are becoming something really really unexpected hopefully they release something good in few years
@@Aman_Mondal ancient magus bride is a montly manga when they animated the first season they had already catch up to the last ended arc and the next arc was just starting. So make sense.
@@atavusable I don't have a problem with that I am just saying why can't they continue making the second seasons like what is stopping them from doing it people don't even watch Magus Bride that much mainly because very few actually knew about the show in the first place but they did such an amazing job and then just do the Adios meme and leave or entrust it to some other studio I still love the fact that the original staff are going to the other studio to continue it
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.
Yeah I agree, the story itself was quite generic in my opinion, but I appreciate the fact that a lot had been done to create each of the main characters. Nevertheless, I enjoyed watching it (so far).
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.
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.
@@ErikaBernLambda Honestly we've reached the point where having an original idea in entertainment is pretty hard. Originality in execution is where the gold's at nowadays
A - 1 also release Engage Kiss and put all their marketing money in that show, but it seems that they misjudge their audience, because Lycoris Recoil is way more popular without kind of marketing from A - 1.
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
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!
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
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...
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.
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...
well... some ideas came from trash , but some are well-polished ideas that happened to be in the trash pile... (IMO Saekano is kinda a boring romcom tho some of the 4th wall break is pretty good)
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.
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.
@@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.
@@Evilprimarch Chisato stated quite a few times that Mika made it for her after she got support from the Alan Institute. They are completely custom-made. Also, non-lethal bullets are just made so they don't kill. They are suppose to hurt a shit ton (Hell, Chisato says you might even be better off dead than deal with the pain of them), so it's pretty logical that they would still be able to puncture clothes or aluminum (which most car doors are made of). That being said, the show isn't exactly insanely realistic in the first place, and I think that's fine personally. It at least *attempts* to be while still having characters with unrealistic abilities and senses, but at the very least tries to ground itself a bit. Sorry that this is a year late btw.
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.
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.
I hope not. I think the slice of life and banter is the best part of the show. The later combat with Majima were the weakest parts of the show in my opinion.
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.
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'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.
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
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.
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.
Happy I'm not the only one to read "licorice" into the title.

He wasn’t even looking for that. He was looking for Coda, this came up in his search results (because Amazon search engine is ass), and he clicked on it thinking it was Licorice Pizza.

The group dynamic and amazing chemistry could've made it an 8-9/10 for me if they just leaned into it more.
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...

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

So lycorico exists because of Saekano
well... some ideas came from trash , but some are well-polished ideas that happened to be in the trash pile...
(IMO Saekano is kinda a boring romcom tho some of the 4th wall break is pretty good)
Lethal Weapon + John Wick + Higashi no Eden mmmm, nice 👌🧐

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.
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.
@@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.
There's also the scene where chitaso gets hit by a car and is somehow fine.
@@rcommando1107 Gravity is forgiving for smaller objects. You could probably also throw her off the third floor without issue.
@@Evilprimarch Chisato stated quite a few times that Mika made it for her after she got support from the Alan Institute. They are completely custom-made. Also, non-lethal bullets are just made so they don't kill. They are suppose to hurt a shit ton (Hell, Chisato says you might even be better off dead than deal with the pain of them), so it's pretty logical that they would still be able to puncture clothes or aluminum (which most car doors are made of). That being said, the show isn't exactly insanely realistic in the first place, and I think that's fine personally. It at least *attempts* to be while still having characters with unrealistic abilities and senses, but at the very least tries to ground itself a bit. Sorry that this is a year late btw.

Finding good anime is a bit like finding gold in a coal mine
Great anime! I'm interested what you think about Akiba Maid War, another anime original.
I really like it, although I feel like it can kind of play the same notes weekly, so it's not a "Gotta catch the next episode! sort of show
good title 10/10 no remarks

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.
I can't wait to see your video on Chainsaw Man.
November!
This is awesome
Looks like a fun show, but Kojima is an overrated hack and his endorsement brings little weight.
Death Stranding is a masterpiece and people just don't get it
Have you seen classroom of the elite?
Man, you're mentioning Konobi, I wish we have a sequel.
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.
I really hope that in season 2 they up the action even more
there's no season 2
I hope not. I think the slice of life and banter is the best part of the show. The later combat with Majima were the weakest parts of the show in my opinion.
@@ErikaBernLambda this didn't age well.
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.
it actually will have a manga spinoff focusing on chisato and takina
Already spin-off novel made by Hideo Kojima.
Congrats for the advert
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 .
You need to learn to use "," and ".", my guy. You're going to kill someone like this.

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.

Update: Episode 12 ruined the entire logic of and buildup of the whole anime
Welp I guess the first 11 episodes are still top.
Original Animes are imo better than your standard manga-to-anime
Would love to see a video on Triggers' and CDPR's new anime, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners
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
Damn I was just enjoying random Lycoris Recoil content and I was awarded with free primogems. Feels good
Great video, have been watching this one and I can't wait for the final episode. Nice to learn a bit more about it.
This anime is how you should write strong female characters. Marvel take note!
Best Yuri anime of 2022 and I dint even think they intended for it to be a yuri anime
>best couple of 2022
Really just forgot the past half year eh?
genshin impact has overcame my skip instinct
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.
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
Yeah I love original animes too they always have something special and unique
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.
Is it really L propaganda?
