It starts with a riff on Utena's "fight a duel to become engaged to the bride" and it ends with the two girls being married.

Not just a riff, the first episode is almost a beat for beat mecha adaptation of Utena's first episode, except for the deliberate swerve near the end

Yeah but even then Miorine is the polar opposite of Himemiya right from the start, despite being "the bride".

Lycoris Recoil is a fun show with some cool action and yuri BUT it does chicken out at the end and doesn't show both of them happily married (even though the subtext is not exactly subtle).

Might also be because they are old enough to marry yet too.

For context on the implications, they got away from all that freaky child soldier nonsense by moving to Hawaii, which has connotations in Japanese gay culture (because gay marriage is legal there).

still remember when people were like "you gotta watch promare its like actually gay. It's a real gay story!!"

And then it was just the typical implication subtext poo poo that you always get

There was another show called Doug and Kirill or something that did the same kind of subtext poo poo but they went so far into it that it seemed kind of like it was supposed to be part of the joke of the series

I mean, hey, at least the dudes definitely kissed in Promare.

Like, yes, there were magical reasons for it, but only in the same way there were magical reasons for the kisses in Snow White and Sleeping Beauty.

tbf Yuri on ice was like a pretty big budget, popular, legitimately gay anime it's just a shame that it's about boring poo poo like ice skating

The (full) ED slaps and the eyecatches that change every episode are S-tier. If you don't want to suspend your disbelief multiple times per episode as the cute girls don't murder anyone with the hundreds of bullets they shoot, just watch those and Sabagebu! for your cute-girls-doing-gun-things fix. I guess I've been duped too many times by anime with two female leads, I don't even bother hoping for anything gay in the text any more.

Lycoris Recoil is airing on Toonami right now and it's really good and fun and you should watch it, but next week is the finale and I'm not ready for it to be over yet.

Is it getting another season? I think the manga is still running.

So the whole premise was that Japan is a fascist hellhole that cultivates crime for the purpose of repressing it and they could just leave the whole time? Leaving is an option? I'm not even talking about your average assassin, but the average Japanese lives in a carmageddon 24/7 when they could just leave?

making the characters act all gay with each other and then ending the series with them having a firm handshake does seem like the worst of both worlds.

If the target audience is fujos you don't actually need to put in any gay subtext in the first place. Just have two hot dude characters stand next to each other and they'll be raring to go

I read all of Beastars and drat that last fourth of the series was terrible. why did the author introduce hannibal lecter but a gazelle-leopard hybrid, he sucks up all the good elements of the series like a quality black hole

also why the gently caress did legoshi learn the hybrid animal martial art if he's not gonna loving use it

This is what fascinates me most in existence: the peculiar necessity of imagining what is, in fact, real.


Lycoreco is a well-made show with fun characters, and a main plot and premise that felt like it was insulting my intelligence the whole way through.
