Why You Should Watch Lycoris Recoil

It’s now the perfect time to check out Lycoris Recoil as it’s a unique anime series that might have gone under your radar. Following two young assassins who grow to be close friends (and maybe more), you can now find the anime streaming exclusively with Crunchyroll. They begin to tease the anime as such, “For these peaceful days――there’s a secret behind it all. A secret organization that prevents crimes: ‘DA – Direct Attack’. And their group of all-girl agents: ‘Lycoris’. This peaceful everyday life is all thanks to these young girls. The elite Chisato Nishikigi is the strongest Lycoris agent of all time. Alongside is Takina Inoue, the talented but mysterious Lycoris.”

The synopsis continues with, “They work together at one of its branches–Café LycoReco. Here, the orders this café takes range from coffee and sweets to childcare, shopping, teaching Japanese to foreign students, etc. It’s mostly tasks unbefitting of Lycoris. The free-spirited and optimistic pacifist, Chisato. And the cool-headed and efficient Takina. The chaotic everyday lives of this mismatched duo begin!”
