Do you think there’ll be a Season 2?

no the story feels like over

With the amount of attention and success that Lycoris Recoil is currently receiving - topping the most popular anime trending polls, 500k+ twitter followers, manga & sold out light novel adaptations, Chisato & Takina nendoroids announcement - basically, it’s so in demand right now and I bet the creators didn’t expect it to be. With these, do you think season 2 isn’t too unlikely?

Or perhaps they’ve planned it all along as a one-shot anime thus we’re now approaching the conclusion?

I’m asking because the appearance of lily bell and the higher-up dude at the DA in episode 12 feels like a perfect set-up for a 2nd season. Any thoughts?

I hope there is a 2nd season, but I'm worried because they've set it up that Chisato is going to die soon.

With the popularity this anime has, there’s most likely going to be another season. Thou, will have to see how tomorrow’s episode will play out.

I agree with everything but I'll say that it depends a lot from what is going to happen next episode. The show is doing really well and I'm enjoying it. So it would be cool, as long as the possible season 2 remains on the same level of this. To make it works, in my opinion, they need to create a new chapter but Chisato+Takina needs to remain the main duo (with no new main). The lilybell stuff you said make sense and could be a good option.
It's a "No 2nd season > bad 2nd season" case.

honestly I want a season 2, not with the same characters....they showed Lilly Bell (boys lycoris).. would love to see a story around that

cile-chan said:

of course! it’s not lycoris recoil if chisato and takina aren’t the main leads. the show became so popular because of their chemistry so i don’t think they’re going to change leads anytime soon if there’s a season 2.

CreepHazard said:
Yeah pretty sure there's gonna be a sequel. We should get more info on tomorrow's Aniplex Expo

cile-chan said:

i respect this but for me i don’t see this show thriving without chisato and takina :( they’re literally the life of the show and it’d feel so weird if season 2 wouldn’t revolve around them anymore.

though, i’d like to see more of lily bell too but i see them having an arc in season 2 instead of a whole new show as that would just be another lycoris recoil but with guys.

Usually anime originals by Aniplex don’t get sequels and have a closed ending.

Darling in the Franxx, Tokyo 24th ward, Wonder Egg Priority, Vivy, etc….

cile-chan said:

oh man really? :( but i’m curious though, were they as popular and as lucrative as lycoris recoil when they were still airing?

because i believe being bankable is one of the most important factors for anime studios when deciding whether or not an anime gets a sequel.

Chances are pretty high and it has potential.
Those LilyBell guys clearly foreshadow, that they are going to be recurring. Especially their Field Commander.

There will most likely be a spin-off series with Chisato and Takina making guest appearances. I doubt they’ll let this series die as it is, with it being one of the hottest new anime in Japan.

cile-chan said:

right?! it’s so popular in japan that the light novel had to be reprinted before its release! like that’s such a flex for an original anime.

only time will tell. cross your fingers for Aniplex online fest announcements

cile-chan said:

i also cannot wait for episode 13! but do you think they’ll be able to cram everything what’s left in the story in 20 minutes? the DA seems worldwide and the lily bell debut was interesting but too short (me pushing my lycoris vs lily bell agenda lol). i so hope it’s not a rushed ending!

cile-chan said:

yas i knew i wasn’t the only one who thought of this! that guy who seems like a lily bell top tier agent (probably male equivalent to chisato), and their DA superior, look bad news to me. idk why but lycoris vs lily bell sounds like a perfect arc for season 2 to me??

Piromysl said:

No, I don't see why they are supposed to be enemies. Those organisations might not be at good terms, but their goals align, which is maintaining order.
It would be better if some sort of friendly rivalry happened between them.

PriinceYuki said:

Let's not forget that A-1 has a lot of important projects they need or would like to work on: Solo Leveling, Kaguya-sama, 86, etc.

Ialda said:


Not sure trying to murder each other exactly count as friendly rivalry.

Given how Lilybell has been designed to be a counter to the Lycoris girls, it's not hard to imagine a clever antagonist exploiting this feature to pit the two groups against each other in s2.

Piromysl said:

"Murder"?
They were literally just following orders and even broke those orders, because they were ordered to shot on sight, yet they didn't immediately.
There was absolutely nothing personal here and there should be no grudge.

PriinceYuki said:
I doubt it.

Originals are usually planned as promotional advertisements or unique experimental works. They're almost never designed to return with sequels. The authors just want to find a way to nicely end the series so most viewers are happy.

An original needs a lot of success and profit to return, or a successful source material. If the manga goes above and beyond the anime, then just maybe. Sadly, most original anime's manga adaptations just want to adapt the original story into a manga version and be done with it.

Let's not forget that A-1 has a lot of important projects they need or would like to work on: Solo Leveling, Kaguya-sama, 86, etc.

There is that too. Hopefully A1 (and Aniplex) had already stuff planned for the franchise in the initial business proposition in case LR was a success, and in that case a sequel anime could happen sooner than expected. But even then it could take years before we get it.

Nursal said:
no, i don't think it's a good idea to make a s2 of this. Not everything is good deserve a sequel, this is just us doesn't want it to be over.

cile-chan said:

yeah i guess maybe this is just me not accepting the fact that lycoris recoil is actually over and that there won’t be any new episodes after tonight’s finale.

it’s just that chisato and takina’s journey together made me so happy and it made me excited for saturdays! i know i should probably touch grass or something but yeah im so sad over this i can’t even.
