| Now is not the time for an edgy show, so if it was really that dark, it would get a lot of criticism from kids complaining that the show wasn't as wholesome as they expected. Although I think there would be those who considered this edgyness a sign of the show's maturity. In any case, this show is already a more modern version of Princess Principal, so I don't see much of a difference. |

| I also would like the anime more darker but it is also fine as it is. But is it now safe to assume that Chisato won’t die at the end of the anime? There are some serious death flags for her but with that interview I don’t think that they would kill off a main character. |
| I like both conceptions tbh. I love darker vibes but I love what we have now as well :d |
| if its more darker then that means it will be cancelled due to the assassination of former PM Abe anyway so this is better |

It's extremely naive to think that they won't kill a character just because he's in charge, lol. Also, this is a huge spoiler, so no one will tell you about it anywhere until the very end. |

This will be the very end of the show so it can still happen as part of the final experience. Anyway, I don't think you have anything to worry about until Chisato gets a photo of her wife and the kids, which she will definitely return to when the war is over lol. |

| Hmm... Since this is an original and they toned down things I'm having doubts about the tragic ending now. If Chisato becomes popular in Japan, they may not kill her off after all. Drama is unavoidable, but they may choose to avoid deaths simply to cater to her fans, maybe... |
| I'm both fine with and enjoying the way it is in our current reality/timeline and would likewise be fine with and enjoy any hypothetical alternative version as well steeped in even grittier content. Luckily, even outside of Lycoris Recoil, there are an endless bountiful canvas of anime which cater to extremes on the "lightest" and "darkest" ends and everything in-between so everyone can theoretically select what they want and something right for them (even something right for them just in that particular time period or even small fleeting moment in their life) and be pleased. I don't particularly care about the obsession about a series being "light" or "dark". Stories can be reliably and meaningfully imparted in all tones and one isn't necessarily superior. |

| I wouldn't have minded a darker change of pace occasionally and it's a shame the vision of the writer has to take a backseat for the sake of trying to please everyone. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I wonder how much darker it would have been. Would that mean more violent scenes or a darker storyline? I'm guessing its probably the former. |
 |
| Its very easy to deduce what changes were made > Takina almost certainly killed the girl in episode 1 she was trying to save > Chisato most likely a darker back story than " fake heart " > More brutal fight scenes with blood (like how in ep 5 end they didnt show the Lycoris getting gunned down) |
cile-chan said: Apparently, Lycoris Recoil’s storyline was initially much darker and “quite severe” to show the “reality of guns” as per the writer/creator Asaura, but changed when director Shingo Adachi signed and made the show lighter so anyone could enjoy. Maybe it’s the dystopian/psychological genre lover in me… but after reading the interview, I kinda wish they went with the more bleak path?? Any thoughts? Are you guys fine with the current vibe of the show? Or you would’ve liked it more if they went with the original darker route? https://epicstream.com/article/lycoris-recoil-originally-had-a-much-darker-story-according-to-creator Yuri fans will angry lmao |
 |
| I honestly would of preferred it if went that way tbh but oh well nothing can do about it lol |
 |
| This gives off the vibes of Nasu telling Urobouchi to tone down the script for Fate/Zero. Yeah, we got the "less dark" version lol. Ultimately, I think the only changes seen are that Takina and Chisato's relationship wasn't initially a focal point in the first draft. Also, the gunfights would probably be a bit more grounded. Things like the significant players, how the world is operated by a police force that kills people before they commit a crime, and a cult-like entity that supports people's "talents" including helping those who kill people are unchanged.

| im happy with the story and vibe they giving off rn but im curious abt how would it be if the show was darker |
| Sure I like darker approach, there is nothing wrong with darker tone... as long it's good (like Psycho pass was dark (and quite realistic) and I thought was really good). Now the lighter tone is also okay for me but compromising so it would be acceptable for anyone kinda diminish the show. Like that ridiculous bullet dodging thing or using "rubber bullet". So to me light or dark tone is less important, what's important is realistic and when that doesn't mean they have to be violent just make it logical not some bs The latest ep looks like it's leaning towards that "realistic" approach that I prefer, so maybe it will get better |

| Maybe it's just me but there are flags already and I assume that it will be darker in the following eps. Hopefully it won't since I get attached to the characters already lol. |
 |
| Thank God it was more wholesome, anime fans who constantly need dark/edgy shit are mega cringe. |
| While watching I felt like something was off with the story as there were many opportunities to make it more engaging and "deep" but it felt like they deliberately side-stepped doing so every time ("lol jk it was just a TV show guys!" springs to mind). Kinda sad really, it could've been something special but it just ended up being another waifu-bait, yuri-bait flavour of the month show with pointless slice-of-life filler designed to sell merch. CickNipolla said: Its very easy to deduce what changes were made > Takina almost certainly killed the girl in episode 1 she was trying to save Lmao that explains why they randomly tried (and failed) to make her into an actual character near the end. |
| It honestly should’ve gone the dark route. This just felt too fluffy. In fact, there’s no doubt that they didn’t have the guts to kill Chisato. This ain’t CSM, lol. |

If it would have gone the CSM route then characters like Fuki and Sakura would be dead 1-2 episodes at most after their introduction and I wouldn't remember their names, so thank god it didn't went to something similar. |

CSM is just next level tho, lol Chisato was never planed to die,you can look at all picture from the ending and you See the spoiler. But one thing to know. Original was Fuki the Main Character. But adachi wants a Character that everybody loves and than was Chisato Born. Chisato is the reason the Story was Not so DARK. |

Chisato is the reason the Story was Not so DARK. if you read the interview, the writer actually said that in the original draft, chisato was supposedly a cold character, and that she would brighten up after meeting takina. but in the anime, it was the other way around. HOWEVER, we did see in the throwback that young chisato - before she received the mechanical heart - seemed emotionless. Yes , since Fuki was First the Main Character Not Chisato. You must read the Interview from Asaura, He mentioned that He wanted first that Fuki is the Main. |
cile-chan said: Nuckel-Cell said: Yes , since Fuki was First the Main Character Not Chisato. You must read the Interview from Asaura, He mentioned that He wanted first that Fuki is the Main. omg i cannot imagine lycoris recoil without chisato being the main character 😩 her and takina are the heart of the show <3 Even Asaura was impressed at the Character Chisato herself. He Said in the Interview that was the best decision from Adachi to change this and He thought that this will make Chisato to the most interesting Character in the series. And i mean it was. I dont think Fuki has obtain the same amount of fans as Chisato has now. And Adachi wanted that the audience will Love and Care for this Character, since later in the series she became death flaggs on death flaggs and even the entire audience was so afraid that this Character will die in the end. Btw Here is the Interview with Fuki was before Chisato the Main Character https://febri.jp/topics/lycoris_recoil_int3_2/ |
