A popular comment forum reported that fans of A-1 Pictures ' original anime Lycoris Recoil trended the term “リコリコ14話 (LycoRecoEpisode14) ”, in anticipation of a non-existent fourteenth episode.
Apparently fans "don't accept reality" and are waiting for a non-existent fourteenth episode that, in theory, would air on October 1 in Japan. However, the series has already ended, but the fact that something like this made it to trends reflects that the series still maintains a great popularity among the Japanese.
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.
