Recoil, it was announced that the next 1 of December at 6:00

information about the anime project will also be revealed, soon events
and information about new developments.
Remember that the franchise announced in February of this year the production of a new sequel project, without specifying whether it is a second season, a movie or an OVA project. Due to the above, it is possible that in this new update, at least, the format of this continuation will finally be revealed.
The series premiered during the season of Summer-2022
(July-September) in Japan and had a total of thirteen episodes, while
the platform Crunchyroll was in charge of its distribution in
the West. It quickly became one of the most successful franchises in the
physical sales market, exceeding twenty thousand copies sold with each new
release and becoming the series with the highest amount of accumulated sales in
the first week of the entire year 2022.
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 results
in her being 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 disguised coffee shop.
However, Takina's new partner turns out to be very
different from what she imagined. Despite being the famous Lycoris prodigy,
Chisato Nishikigi seems almost unconcerned about her obligations. She drags
Takina into all kinds of odd jobs under the simple explanation of helping
people in need. Takina is even more bewildered when Chisato takes down a group
of armed assailants without killing any of them. Feeling like a fish out of
water, Takina is determined to reintegrate into the DA, but Chisato is
determined to show her that there is more to a life than just taking it.
