The original anime from studios A-1 Pictures and Sword Art Online designer Shingo Adachi , Lycoris Recoil , hasn't left the trends every weekend, and it's apparently been able to do a lot of things right. From an engaging story, endearing characters, and consistently high-quality animation, the series has managed to stay on top of trends.
But what became a trend in the most recent episode, entitled " Another Day, Another Dollar ", has nothing to do with any of the above, but with a scene of less than two seconds where the attractive thighs of the protagonist, Chisato Nishikigi . In said episode, the deuteragonist Takina Inoue takes charge of the finances of the LycoReco cafeteria , and both also take some additional jobs to support with income.
One of them was to teach Japanese and pronunciation to foreigners, given Chisato's constant interruptions to Takina's class, the second proposes the term " Sakadachi ( Handstand )", and since Chisato was interrupting by exemplifying the word, he had to put on of hands to exemplify the term. Since she was wearing a skirt, it falls off the sides, revealing the now trending design.
Multiple featured comments included:
- « The anime industry is really driving the love of thighs this year. I still remember the scene from Yor Forger ».
- Am I going to start watching Lycoris Recoil just because of those juicy thighs? Surely ».
- « Rich thighs, I want to bite them ».
- " I've already seen five people saying they'll watch Lycoris Recoil just because of that thigh scene ."
- I still can't believe they gave Lycoris Recoil's Chisato those massive thighs. It's not that I'm watching it, it's just that I already saw that capture like ten times ».
- " It's called Lycoris Recoil because the Lycoris (the red flower) are Chisato's thighs ."
- " I give artists two hours to create h3ntai from this simple panel ."
And of course, it didn't take long before a fully nude version of the scene ( available at this link ) came out, as well as renderings of the same pose with other characters, though for now only with Love Live! . Who will be next?
Synopsis of Lycoris Recoil
The number of terrorist acts in Japan has never been lower, thanks to the efforts of a syndicate called Direct Attack (DA). The organization raises orphaned girls as assassins to carry out assassinations under its “Lycoris” program. Takina Inoue is an exceptional Lycoris, with a strong sense of will and a penchant for perfection. Unfortunately, a hostage situation tests her patience, and the resulting act of insubordination gets her transferred out of the DA. She's not thrilled about losing the only place she belonged, but she reluctantly arrives at her new base of operations: LycoReco, a coffee shop in disguise.
However, Takina's new partner turns out to be very different from what she imagined. Despite being the famous prodigy of Lycoris, Chisato Nishikigi seems almost unconcerned about her obligations. She drags Takina into all sorts of odd jobs under the simple guise of helping people in need. Takina is further taken aback when Chisato takes down a group of armed assailants without killing any of them. Feeling like a fish out of water, Takina is hell-bent on rejoining the DA, but Chisato is determined to show her that there's more to life than just taking it.
