Lycoris Recoil Reveals New Anime Details With First Look

2022 saw the highly anticipated debuts of “Spy x Family” and “Chainsaw Man,” captivating numerous viewers with their unique storylines featuring the Forger family and Denji respectively. Despite their contrasting narratives, both animes were among the most watched in 2022. Interestingly, “Lycoris Recoil” often held its own against these heavyweights, frequently matching their ratings in Japan. Although a second season has yet to be confirmed for the franchise, fans can look forward to a new series as a teaser has been released recently.

If you’re new to the series “Lycoris Recoil,” here’s a quick rundown: The story centers around an organization called “DA” or “Direct Attack.” This secret agency, made up entirely of women, fights crime while also running a cafe where they take on tasks that may seem ordinary for DA agents. The main character is Chisato Nishikigi, who has proven herself to be one of the greatest agents in the series. However, the upcoming anime season might present a slight twist from the first one. As of now, A-1 Pictures, the studio behind the adaptation of “Lycoris Recoil,” hasn’t confirmed a full second season yet, although they seem to be still interested in the franchise.

The forthcoming anime adaptation of Lycoris Recoil is planned as a collection of six standalone short films, delving into the everyday routines of the characters from the original series. As of now, there’s no announced release date for this mini-series. Given the franchise’s fanbase, these short films could serve as a bridge leading to the next season.

Alongside the fresh poster for “Lycoris Recoil: Friends steal time,” A-1 Pictures hinted at upcoming short films for fans. The studio’s statement reads, “Title and key visual of the original short movie revealed! In ‘Lycoris Recoil: Friends,’ time is stolen. We will share six tales about Senzuko, Takina, and others’ daily lives in the cafe.” Although it hasn’t been officially confirmed, there’s a good chance these projects will make their way to North America eventually.
