| Ok I also missed mention of rubber bullets in ep4, but seriously Chisato using them in Radio Tower incident make no fricking sense. At that time she was 7 years old. And I won't belive that she wasn't trained at DA for at last one year or even more. And in her case it would be less about physical side and more about mental conditioning her to be proper assassin. Sure we can argue that, thanks to her talent, she was too valuable to give up on her despite her extreme "pacifism" being on oposite side of what is expected from lycoris, but that's weak counter. Also said "pacifism" for now have no good reason to exist in first place. Especially at such young age. It would make way more sense if she was super efficient killer back then, but was badly hurt in that incident, got that artificial heart. That near death experience and second chance would be sensible (as far as this anime goes) reason for her to start valuing life to such extreme. That would also require some changes in incident itself so Majima could escape alive, but that would be better than what we got, where he somehow wasn't caught despite state he was in during explosion. Sure there could be some incident even earlier, but first for now it doesn't exist. Two for it to work as catalyst for Chisato change it need be something big. The only sensible option would be accident, where here parent died and she ends with artificial heart. Another thing that I don't like is Alan Institute. If they don't just play good guys for public, then they are total morons. And even if it's just mask, still all this crap about talents gift from God make them dumb. And then there is Chisato case, where if they are not clearly villain with good publicity, then their smooth brain is at full power. Like sure Chisato genius level of trajectory prediction is perfect tool for killer, but I wouldn't said that it would allow her to use it to it's fullest. After all with normal bullets it would make any mission even more effortless. She wouldn't need dodge that much to, get close and personal with enemies. They would be dead long before that. On other hand her current style force her to use it much more. Also her incapacitating enemies with much less effort than any other Lycoris means less risk of killing somebody who knows something or generally more potential sources for any given info. And for organization like DA that should means more than having 7 years old super killer machine in long run. They already have plenty of normal killer machines. So the same talent can be used for different things, but Alan Institute is bunch of smooth brained idiots that is unable to comprehend such simple fact. So the faster we are over Alan bullshit the better. At last now with knowledge that Takina can make you buy poop dessert, she doesn't need worry about her retirement plan. With incentive she could probably make you buy anything. Even literal shit. |

 |
| death flag arriving soon ?? that cliffhanger is damn too bad !! |
| It was all Lyri Yuri at the start until it all went Frankenstein at the end. Also Majima seems to be a revel with cause guy. Kinda reminds me of Makshima from Psychopass but with a little more craziness. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| i'd like to order 1 pc of that unko crap cake!!! nice creation Takina!!! hahah and oh! looks like Majima toyed with Takina, she needs to improve her close-quarters combat skills! i consider her dead the moment she made close contact with Majima! thankfully Majima is enjoying this situation...lolz oh no! i hope Takina is not late this time! Chisato is in deep pinch!!! i'd like Majima to get involved as well! lolz 5/5. |

| Another great episode. I love how both Takina and Chisato support eachother. That poop parfait tweet was gold. Now to see what might be of next episode... |
| Takina's money saving efforts were amusing, but I'm more interested in seeing what's going to happen with Chisato, potentially, being reclaimed by the Alan Institute. Chisato and Majima make a surprisingly interesting duo, when they aren't at each other's throats. They even seem to have the same tastes in porn movies. Chisato is impressive and all, but seeing her as a child was wild. It's like watching a young Kenshin. Completely night and day from her current self. I somewhat doubt Takina can make it to Chisato in time, but, that being said, I am not sure what operating on her heart is going to do? I can't imagine it changing her personality? I mean, it's an anime, so I guess anything is possible. But still. |
 "...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?" |
| So Majima has got some sonar shit going on lol. Well okay this episode was pretty lighthearted until the ending. I guess they will be messing with her heart as I suspected a while ago. Also interesting that Majima was just able to get into her house for a chat like that. |
| I really thought this show has no real plot but that ending kinda gave me a pause and makes me think "should I stay a little longer ?" Also it's amazing how this show enchance Chisato ability even further, like she can dodge bullets at close distance or even point blank and in the flashback she so fast that she can teleport. And Majima has a sonar like ability whoaaa cool..... But he still got his ass kicked by Chisato so I guess it's not that impressive for me |

| This episode was a tale of two halves, with one being peak entertainment and the other being very serious. First off is the lighthearted entertaining part, where Takina put her foot down and got to work in sorting out the cafe's finance issues. She kept any waste to an minimum, whether it was with the cafe's appliances or going after the bad guys with Chisato. She also had time to make a new chocolate cake which took off like a storm thanks to Kurumi's help without her knowing until later on, where Takina's expression was hilarious (Same goes with the smug expression Kurumi had earlier, too). Proof that even a cake that resembles a massive poop can sell if it tastes amazing......maybe..... Then we got back to the serious stuff and we had Majima easily finding Chisato's safe house and they had a chat about the old tower incident a few years prior. It showcased how lethal she was back then and showed zero hesitation with shooting anyone who got in her way. I can't blame her for changing her tune since then. After that we had a cute scene between Chisato and Takina outside the cafe before the plot got very serious again, with Chisato finally going in for her examination, but fell for a trap, leaving her completely unconscious. It's a good thing that Takina enforced a stricter rule about heading her way if her calls to Chisato doesn't succeed. A juicy cliffhanger like this makes me eager to see the next episode so badly. I hope that nothing bad is done to Chisato, but I'm not optimistic about her chances this time... =( |
| I love every freaking minute of this series. But today amidst all the great moments, the standout has to be Kurumi getting karate-chopped hard in the neck |

| You haven't lived until you've been served sh*t by a smiling Takina CHISATO HERSELF That flush sound was legendary. |
| fck, is that a reset? I dont want her to forget all the stuff she has done so far |

I literally cannot stop thinking about Chisato’s thighs they did her justice in this scene😩😩😩 |
| The more we learn about Alan's Children, the more weaknesses we come to know of Chisato. First, it was sniper and sand, and now it's possibly the dark as well. RayReynolds said: first they montage of them going around, doing random things and then they do their super secret agent jobs Random things? Did you already forget what happened in the show when you started typing out BS? |
 |
| please dont take a dark turn, we cant take it... |
| I just love the SoL-ish moments in Lycoris Recoil. Even more than the slow progressing plot and the B-tier villian. Well, Majima was a bit more interesting in this episode but aside from that, nothing more to his character. Also, the incredibly juicy thicc fanservice which was needed. The action sequences were also really good with the flashback. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Yeah, that parfait💩 was a totally Japanese thing. Once again a sweet, funny, down to earth and tense episode. All in one. This show clearly cemented itself as my AOTS. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| What a mix of suspense, sweetness, slice of life, and suspicious things to come. Takina really did well to keep LycoReco back in the green again, and now that she's also getting interested in stocks, what a 21st century attitude. Also they have a new AI assistant, Takina creating a delicious (💩) parfait, and Kurumi getting treated like a child. Then there's Majima suddenly pulling up on Chisato's crib and aside from a feel of danger, the fact that Chisato dodges Majima's bullet and looking cool because of it is something that melts my brain (THANKS LYCORECO STAFF). Also we finally saw what happened between a younger Chisato and a bilnd Majima in the Radio Tower years ago. Aside from the cool action scene, I'm astonished that Chisato got hurt (maybe blew her heart) because of the explosion. For now, Majima is just another enemy as he is not the only one that is a threat to Chisato, yep the doctor did his job. Chisato is now in true danger, a live-or-die situation and it's up to Takina (who somehow made a psuedo-confession to her) to save her from the nurse. Shit is happening and it's a lot to digest. |
 |
| Majima is best boi. It is chisato's fault that dude didnt appear. Majima looks like his talent is hearing things. He is not blind though, maybe he blindfolded to hear better. Meh yuri bait. Also, I hope the nurse finish experiment with chisato before Takina comes. meh halloween gift. Majima needs to up his game though. Maybe he can use a needle/nail gun to shoot chisato this time. coz chisato cant dodge needles, it will be extra effective. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| I wonder if the death flags are really red herrings... Considering the organization is called Lycoris, and the AI is Radiata (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lycoris_radiata), that is enough to cover the flower symbolism as the context for the naming and origin of the concept. The flower could very well have nothing to do with the outcomes of any of the characters. The really wonderful lovey touching scenes could be really ot death flags at all, but lead to have that impression... Personally i see this anime having a lot of staying power, and if they don't do anything devastating or confounding to the plot, they could tell a lot more story in this world, and i would love to see more of these characters in the future. They're all way too charming and personable to just move on so quickly. Treyv0n said: Ironically, her thicc-ass thighs actually make a ton of sense in this anime, because she has a lot of trained mobility, she should have a lot of muscle there.I literally cannot stop thinking about Chisato’s thighs they did her justice in this scene😩😩😩 |

| Great episode but I can't help but stress a little over Chisato's scenes in this episode and her possible fate, especially both after seeing Majima holding a gun at her (luckily he missed when he did fire) and at the end when that lady was looking to what appears to short circuit Chisato's heart, maybe it involves some type of reprogramming to bring out the assassin side of her. Regarding Majima, looks like his super ability may be some type of super hearing/sonar-type ability as he was telling his partners the locations of the lycroris based on hearing while blindfolded (I'm assuming the blindfold is to heighten his hearing/sonar ability further). Someone earlier said that Shinji Yoshimatsu may end up becoming the heel of this show and that Majima may end up switching sides since he does seem like a rebel. I do recall towards the end with Shinji blaming Mika for this, that would be interesting for sure. Lastly, some light hearted/funny/cute moments. Chisato got some fine ass thighs that were showed off while she was doing a handstand, very nice, and her Halloween costume was cute and so was her trying to get a treat bag from Takina. The "poop parfait" was hilarious and poor Takina for not realizing that it looked like that but at least it was a hit with customers lol. Man I hope Takina rescues Chisato but I fear she may be too late to at least completely revert her back, hope I'm wrong. |
| I don't know if zapping the artificial heart in whatever form of procedure that was will have anything to do with directly altering her personality, since that wouldn't be scientifically-based by a long shot (everything to do with personality and conscious thought is based in the brain, after all). Not that the series can't flout the science on that, but to me it seems much more logical and less of a leap to think that they would hope to change her personality and actions indirectly, because something pertaining to the calibration and voltage of the artificial heart has something to do with her physiological reflexive response and unconscious reactions under high stress/pressure situations like the dynamism involved in combat (and any unexpected object or stimuli entering a certain radius around her), enabling her to dodge the bullets regardless of range or trajectory. By removing that ability, they could hope to force an extreme scenario upon her where she'll be forced to kill simply to be able to defend herself and/or Takina or the rest of the cafe crew. |

| ...Fuck. This just got different. Thanks to Takina, the "LycoReco" cafeteria is stable in money. And Majima went to Chisato and told him how he knows about her and we see how the radio tower collapsed. Takina went to her and met Majima but she ran away. From there Takina established a rule in case she found herself in danger. And Chisato went for her medical check-up...but it was a trap. Yoshi had something removed from his heart. And Takina with the ruler he had told her before, went running to get it. It was a good chapter, but let's see what will happen.  |
| That was intense. But I'm pretty sure Chisato boyfriend Majima will arrive to save her. Then Chisato girlfriend Takina will assist later on. |
 |
| The cafe's budget is going down and non other than Takina to save it, Chisato can't escape from the wrap gun too bad, budgets tanking Takina save the cafe You don't wanna mess with Chisato everyone in the cafe uganda knows kung fu, That ain't it Takina shit ass looking parfait nahhhh surprisingly tastes good, GOT DAMN those thighs are packing she should be in a bakery for that massive cake, glad they give us more scenes of the two hanging out and doing jobs they're so cute Majima holding her at gunpoint still can't hit her she's invincible, heh die hard reference movies yet to watch, So Majima was blind interesting using his top class hearing, Chisato looks so oblivious and deadly back then, more precious moments in the end of course we take those but that ending makes me wonder what then. |
  |
| Given how shady Alan is, I wouldn't be surprised if Chisato was brainwashed and handed down to Majima who would send her to attack DA HQ all by herself. Takina would have to stop her, setting the stage for the final showdown of the series... GenesisAria said: I wonder if the death flags are really red herrings...

They're all way too charming and personable to just move on so quickly. Takina will be safe I think because the story, in a large part, is the story of her growth thanks to Chisato. I'm semi-expecting Chisato to pull a Kamina though - killing the mentor figure is a major trope after all, and also Japan love their tragic, doomed romances. She has a chance of surviving if Takina has sufficiently grow to adopt Chisato's non-killing ways (and bullets), I think. The series will not be as merciful with the regular mob Lycoris girls, thought. The previous youtube trailer showed DA organizing a major raid on what looks like a river barge, and I wouldn't be surprised if Majjima hasn't placed mines on it and plan to make it explode once most of the Lycoris agents have boarded it (setting the stage for Takina getting called back to DA to fight Majima - and eventually ??? Chisato ?). Edit : didn't see it before typing my message but the new trailer is out. |

| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
Ialda said: She already does, she perposely aims at peoples' appendages to incapacitate them. Hollow points have a lot more stopping power than rubbers, that's the issue, Chisato has to waste a lot of extra (expensive to manufacture) bullets because they aren't nearly as effective at stopping assailants.She has a chance of surviving if Takina has sufficiently grow to adopt Chisato's non-killing ways (and bullets), I think. |
