Lycoris Recoil is an anime created by Spider Lily and Asaura and produced by A-1 Pictures. The series aired from July to September 22 and was adapted into a manga due to its popularity. The series follows the heroine Takina Inoue, a member of an all-female task force of Heisei-type assassins known as “Lycoris.” The group’s name was inspired by the Lycoris Radiata, also known as the red spider lily or the bilberry. It is a poisonous perennial flower and appears in the Lotus Sutra of Buddhism as an omen flower growing in hell; it also frequently appears in anime and manga before something ominous happens. Assassin Lyocris destroys criminals in Tokyo to maintain the peace against World War III. During an operation to interfere in a gun exchange, Inoue shoots indiscriminately to rescue a colleague. Unfortunately, despite her best intentions, her actions resulted in her being fired from the organization for disobeying orders. The firing resulted in her accompanying Agent Lycoris Chisato Nishikigi, one of the most notable agents of all time, under the guise of working at a cafe called LycoReco. The pair work together to maintain the peace and protect against the terrorist Majima, who believes he will keep “balance” in a peaceful world.
The anime ends with a bang, full of shocking moments and complicated lies, from Chisato “killing” Majima to Mika’s deception about Yoshimatsu’s death. While the anime series, including its finale, is an emotional hyperbole, some viewers weighed in on the scripting decisions and took to Twitter to vent their anger and frustration, with Yūsuke Kanbayashi shouldering the burden. bear the brunt of the abuse.
