Japanese media outlet Febri met with Shingo Adachi , director and screenwriter of the anime "Lycoris Recoil ," ahead of the story's climax. Adachi commented on aspects of the latest episode and the possibility of developing the story after its conclusion.
At the time of publishing this interview, episode 9 is scheduled to air.
Lycoris Recoil – Continuation depends on the fans
In the interview he commented on 2 points below and talks about the possibility of creating a story from the protagonists' point of view:
- They're cute, but also fragile? From Chisato and Takina's subjective perspective, what adults do isn't the main issue. While the girls present various problems and incidents in the society around them, we don't want to forget that this time it's only from the two girls' perspective. If there's a future opportunity with the Lycoris Recoil project, it could create another story from a different perspective.
He also revealed his interest in giving more development to the stories that took place in the cafeteria:
- I wish I had done more stories set in the cafeteria. I had prepared several sweet dishes like Takina's special that appeared in episode 8, but I didn't get to draw much. It's a shame. With your enthusiastic support, I can finally get the chance to draw these stories. Thank you all for your support!
Let's wait and see if we have a sequel, or rather, a second season of Lycoris Recoil.
Synopsis
In short, the number of terrorist acts in Japan has never been lower, thanks to the efforts of a syndicate called Direct Attack (DA). The organization raises orphaned girls as assassins to carry out assassinations under its "Lycoris" program. Incidentally, Takina Inoue is an exceptional Lycoris, with a strong sense of will and a penchant for perfection. Unfortunately, a hostage situation tests his patience, and his act of insubordination results in his transfer out of the prosecutor's office. He's not thrilled about losing the only place he belongs, but reluctantly arrives at his new base: LycoReco, an undercover coffee shop... What will become of her now?!
Finally, according to the official website, the series premiered in Japan on July 2nd.
