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 most recent episode and the possibility of developing the story further after its conclusion.
At the time of publication of the interview, episode 9 is scheduled to air.
Lycoris Recoil – Sequel depends on the fans
In the interview, he commented on two points below, discussing the possibility of creating a story from the protagonists' point of view:
- They are cute, but also fragile? From Chisato and Takina's subjective point of view, what adults do isn't the main problem. Although the girls experience various problems and incidents in the society around them, we don't want to forget that this time it's only from the perspective of the two girls. 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 further developing the stories that took place in the cafeteria:
- I wish I could have done more stories set in the cafeteria. I had prepared several sweet menus like Takina's special that appeared in episode 8, but I didn't get around to drawing much. That's a shame. With your enthusiastic support, I can finally have the chance to draw these stories. Thank you all for your support!
We'll have to wait and see if we'll get a continuation, 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). This organization creates orphaned girls as assassins to carry out assassinations under its "Lycoris" program. Incidentally, Takina Inoue is an exceptional Lycoris, with a strong will and a penchant for perfection. Unfortunately, a hostage situation tests his patience, and his act of insubordination results in his transfer from the prosecutor's office. He's not thrilled about losing the only place he belonged, but reluctantly arrives at his new base: LycoReco, a disguised coffee shop… What will become of it now?!
Finally, according to the official website , the series premiered in Japan on July 2nd.
