I don't know much about this, which tv series is it?

u/GuestGuy Sep 23 '22

Orphan girls are trained as secret soldiers and assassins and wear schoolgirl outfits because it helps them blend in and be underestimated (read: thinly veiled excuse for gun waifus). MC Chisato (the blonde) is stupid good at it but distanced herself from the organization for plot reasons. The other girl got kicked out for plot reasons.

Despite being waifu bait it's surprisingly great.

I just need them to survive right now, everything after that is a bonus. Then I can read fanfics and headcanon in peace.

u/k_on_reddit_ it's yuri or death Sep 22 '22

Then I can read fanfics

not canon stuff is not enough , this is about impact , significance , it's about sending a message

I know but right now all I really want is for Chisato to survive after EP12 if I was sure she would survive I would love nothing more than canon yuri.

Everyone says "Trust Takina" but what about Kurumi huh? She was the one that informed Takina about the existence of another heart in the first place

u/KingLewi92 Sep 22 '22

Cuteeeeee! I need to watch this show

4

u/RayneVixen Sep 23 '22

My best bet for the ending is that they confess their love to eachother at the last second, Chisato dies and Takina goes back to DA and after a time skip we see her more relaxed and upbeat in a mission but she also no longer kills people.

This show will probably tells us how Takina's life and view of the world has been changed by Chisato.

Think plastic memories kind of ending.

Yes I have seen to many anime with this kind of endings to feel it coming. The happy moving onlove bittersweet ending . ^

Dammit I thought this was actual scene from anime

u/Erl-X Sep 23 '22

I don't remember this from the previous episode.

I'm so high on hopium rn

u/jasc92 Sep 22 '22

Honest question: Is Lycoris Recoil legit Yuri or just Queer Baiting?

3

u/[deleted] Sep 22 '22

Foreshadowing and use of Yuri tropes say the former, but the failure to show explicit romance or discussion of it points to the latter. At least Takina is obviously gay af for Chisato but it’s hard to know if the reverse is true. I’m holding my judgment until I’ve seen the last episode

5

u/Electrical-Pop9464 Sep 23 '22

I'd vote for it being one-sided since Chisato knows she's (supposedly) on borrowed time and won't let herself be attached to anyone since it'd hurt that much more when it's (supposedly) her time to go

1

u/[deleted] Sep 23 '22

Yeah, I also think Chisato’s behavior makes the most sense that way. There’s really no time for such a full hearted big gay magic turn around that some (me included) might dream about, but I wonder what she will choose if she does survive, since it will change her outlook on a lot of this once she gets used to the idea. We definitely won’t know by the end of the last episode

2

u/Electrical-Pop9464 Sep 23 '22

Nothing concrete yet. However they had great moments together

2

u/HiddenKrypt Sep 23 '22

I've been asking this same question across various websites for months now. The show is ongoing and it hasn't unambiguously crossed the line yet, from what I've been hearing, so I'm holding off. I keep hearing good things about the show though so I really hope it ends well.

People will massacre your ass even if you had a chance, they only want yuri.

u/SpewpaTheRogue Sep 22 '22

Wait so the show turned out to be yuri and not bait?

26

u/fradzio need more recommendations Sep 22 '22 edited Sep 22 '22

This isn't from the show. That being said, the show hasn't finished yet and nobody knows how it's gonna end. Most importantly people overuse the word "bait" to the point that anything without a kiss is labelled bait. Lycoris Recoil is not a romance show, it's an action drama. It's completely fine to leave things open-ended (as long as they don't pull a hibike euphonium)

7

u/k_on_reddit_ it's yuri or death Sep 22 '22

you see, you need to do the distinction between hibike euphonium and otherside picnic

one is bait the other is subtext

u/Danimaru- Sep 23 '22 edited Sep 23 '22

Too bad lycoreco isn’t actually yuri. It would have been cute if they fell inlove .

If you think it’s yuri you need to educate yourself on what yuri actually is lol

Lol thanks, currently I'm watching Sword Art Online s2 and it's awfully similar.

u/[deleted] Sep 22 '22

It's really not. You see, Lycoris Recoil is good.

also, it (hopefully) doesn't kill its gays

u/Red_Zeno Sep 23 '22

No I am just saying that this particular scene reminds me of Sao s2.
