  • 10 things you didn't know about the Lycoris Recoil  anime when you think of the Lycoris anime you  

  • may picture the Lycoris cafe you swear you could  almost taste those Japanese sweets turns out you  

  • might be able to although it won't be easy Lycoris  anime director adachi actually revealed they would  

  • often meet in cafes around the Skytree area in  Tokyo Japan here is where the prototype for the  

  • Japanese Cafe wasn't inspired from so I set off  for like a day trying to see if I could actually  

  • find this Rico Rico Cafe IRL I started  with the most obvious and actually went to a  

  • cafe called Lycoris it had a very lovely Vibe the  delicious sweets lean more towards Western rather  

  • than Japanese enjoyable and just not the equal  Cafe next up I actually ended up visiting my 20  

  • or 30 cafes near Asakusa and Sky tree I looked  and searched walking hours still no Rico Rico  

  • Cafe Insight the closest and I do mean closest  spot on Cafe was his Japanese shop I randomly  

  • found this one had almost the exact menu except  for like the dongle or the poop cake sadly this  

  • was closed by the time I reached it I've been  living in Japan for like five years so here's  

  • my best guess the rico rico cafe is very likely  a combination of the small parts from various  

  • cafes in the region the anime doesn't highlight  it but I would also toss in bars too the Dango  

  • you see is straight out of the street venders  in Asakusa which I would highly recommend the  

  • exterior in size of the cafe instead it looks like  cafes I visited outside of Tokyo so unfortunately  

  • it's a shame it doesn't actually exist  although I wouldn't mind seeing a collab Cafe

  • you may have noticed quite a few flowers sprinkled  throughout the Lycoris anime from the sunflower  

  • and the ending or the game Takina's name herself  the lovely flowers on Chisato's kimono and of  

  • course the Lycoris itself also known as the red  Spider Lily which you've definitely seen another  

  • anime like Tokyo Ghoul, Dororo, and the god tier anime  for newcomers Demon Slayer Legend says when you  

  • meet someone that you may never meet again  the red spider lilies will Bloom along the  

  • path perhaps this is why Japanese people often  use these flowers and funerals you might find  

  • it funny that I actually came across a bunch in  the Lycoris Cafe search and even at a nearby bar  

  • right outside did you happen to notice the  yellow variants too the golden Spider Lily  

  • this one is not to symbolize light happiness  or something lifelike like the Halo of angels

  • one of the fun parts from the Lycoris anime is  seeing Chisato and Friends kicking ass around  

  • Tokyo but did you know you could actually visit  a lot of these locations yourself when they were  

  • playing bodyguard for Stephen Hawkings you saw  them go to the Imperial Palace Garden one of the  

  • big highlights was also Asakusa which included  the kaminarimon, the guardian station there the  

  • wonderful shops which are definitely going to  be crowded now that Japan's opened up and the  

  • Sensoji Temple the red building you saw them  visiting was the Tokyo Station in the middle  

  • of Tokyo recall the scene of Chisato and Takina are  being awfully friendy that's kinisha Park when  

  • that train station that had that unfortunate  incident is actually oshiaga station you saw  

  • them bust out their moves at this aquarium which  also happens to be in Sky Tree speaking of which  

  • the anime likes to highlight that quote-unquote  radio tower which is an obvious stand for Sky Tree  

  • itself Chisato and Takina's voice actors actually  constantly mentioned Sky Tree in the web series on  

  • the flip side the other big ass red tower being  built into stand in for the Tokyo Tower right  

  • here Chisato's having the final showdown versus  Majima please kick some ass and survive Chisato

  • could you imagine Chisato running around and  actually using live bullets how different would  

  • that anime be surprise surprise originally the  Lycoris anime was supposed to be much darker  

  • when interviewed the Lycoris recoil director  Adachi revealed this and a couple of other  

  • interesting things so this gloomy anime with  orphan girls raised to be a little assassins  

  • really makes you think of Gunslinger doesn't  it which Adachi likes and even said he owns  

  • a DVD which is probably why he thought they  couldn't succeed in that genre so they went  

  • into a different direction after he joined the  challenge now became how to deliver this story  

  • with children holding guns shooting people but  in a positive way it's actually interesting to  

  • think about how the bride and cheerful  Chisato almost never came into being but  

  • thanks to Adachi you got this goofy Lycoris waifu  oh yes I'm this close to buying a figure foreign

  • take on odd requests here and there like visiting  a kindergarten using their super special awesome  

  • skills at a language school or just delivering  coffee to the Yakuza but did you know you could  

  • actually also submit your own questions to be  answered on the official website here's a few  

  • examples of previously asked questions and  replies to Chisato regarding Chisato's line  

  • about doing what you want with all your strength  this person in particular didn't know what they  

  • wanted to do please help here's Chisato's response  if there's anything you want to do even if it's a  

  • small thing why not give it a try like I want to  drink amazing coffee I want to go to the aquarium  

  • putting effort into everyday things will make it  fun try to move without overthinking it sounds  

  • just like her to Takina recently I've been on the  PC and phone way too much what should I do this  

  • person is definitely watching too much tiktok Takina's replying I also use a computer a lot  

  • in the Lycoris Cafe for account so I totally  get it I actually got kurumi to look into it  

  • and it seems I exercises are a great idea I'm  actually gonna try to do it myself when Chisato  

  • isn't around I wonder what else she's up to  when she's out there isn't around to Mizuki  

  • it's not that I don't want to get married butthink I missed the timing what should I do music  

  • is amazing reply girlfriend let's do our best  together there's no such thing as missing your  

  • timing your fateful partner is just around the  corner if we don't give up we'll get our chance  

  • of course she will get the marriage question  to Kurumi hello I'm a third year Middle School  

  • student I have to study for the high school  entrance exam but I'm not motivated at all  

  • how do I find motivation Kurumi's reply just to  be clear there is no such thing as motivation in  

  • Neuroscience motivation comes only after taking  action it seems he cannot start anything unless  

  • you take the initial step even if he do not  feel it just sit down at your desk and begin  

  • do it. Mika actually got a similar  question about studying for an exam his  

  • reply drinking coffee is a good way to improve  concentration sugar is good for your brain so I  

  • recommend the dumplings many people say changing  location refreshes them helping them Focus so why  

  • not come to the rico rico cafe since 9000 IQ  move to promote your own Cafe freaking love it

  • throughout the Lycoris Recoil anime you saw so  many delicious things they were eating at that  

  • cafe almost makes you want to go there in person  but did you know they actually have an official  

  • list of what the Lycoris Cafe offers if you want  their special coffee blend about four dollars a  

  • dollar discount if you buy the sweets or in case  you're trying to limit your caffeine intake there  

  • is a tea five dollars a discount here too you  could get the kyodai Dango set or sibling set  

  • for five dollars there's anko matcha and  mango perhaps I just had a mango this past  

  • weekend these are delish if you're feeling  a little peckish why not get the Dango and  

  • the doriaki burger six dollars not exactly what  you were picture when thinking about a burger or  

  • perhaps you'd be interested in the ohagi scent  six dollars this is actually a small Roy small  

  • covered in sweet paste wanna have some right now  honestly considering all the pricey Tokyo cafes  

  • this Lycoris Cafe is actually pretty reasonable  and since I know you're wondering they did update  

  • the two bonus entrees as the anime went on first  off the special elegant parfait 12 and you might  

  • remember the infamous hot chocolate parfait aka  the dookie Sunday 12 dollars too and yes some  

  • Japanese fans did try to recreate this toilety  sensation I don't know about you but I still want  

  • the dookie one all over my face it wouldn't  be different than when I eat my girlfriend

  • one of the really fun things I enjoyed about  this Lycoris anime is that it was really just  

  • fun watching it weekly Cliffhanger to Cliffhanger  there's no freaking spoilers that bang you on  

  • YouTube left and right on Twitter or Tick Tock  that's right Lycoris Recoil is an original anime  

  • there's no manga no light novel which means it's  all about the merch sales you know how much I love  

  • figures and thankfully there is a little Chisato  nendroid although they've already revealed a scale  

  • figure I'm not fully committed yet until I see the  ending so I'm waiting on this did you happen to  

  • catch Chisato's phone case design that's right you  could own it yourself too get that adorable cute  

  • little owl and I think like a Sunday or flower  bouquet they got pretty much all the iPhones  

  • sorry Android weebs in case you're looking too big  a little bit more fashionable or anywhere to like  

  • Anime Expo go ahead and get your favorite waifu on  your chest let me know are you on team Chisato or  

  • Takina although if you're a fan of something  that's much more low-key how about the red  

  • spider little shirts which yes they did appear in  the anime technically the mid episode cart white  

  • or black not sure which do these shirts come in  triple XL asking for a friend for some Cafe guns  

  • you could actually get a little stand for the Rico  Rico Cafe it's like this adorable little clip for  

  • those of you that didn't skip the ending you could  actually get four different designs based on it  

  • I'm definitely eyeing the Summer Festival one and  did someone say beer? oh I'm sorry it's actually  

  • just bottled Lycoris coffee for about nine dollars  you could get your hands on this coffee collab  

  • kinda pricey but they know I'm a sucker you  could get coffee beans too by the way foreign

  • you may think of Japanese schoolgirls running  around and shooting the hell out of people  

  • it's like John Wick makes anime but let's go  back in time did you know about the Lycoris  

  • anime's very clever marketing they actually  didn't focus on them blasting people at all  

  • the original anime trailer only confirmed this  Cafe setting think something like isekai shokudou  

  • essentially this cute girl is doing cute type  of things Cafe anime what's your order we got  

  • recommendations even the description was  quite playful we don't just got delicious  

  • coffee or sweets from deliveries to drop-offs  that may be far away to Exterminating zombies  

  • or Titans whatever your worry may be feel free  to contact us even the character trailers show  

  • no action for Chiefs that those teaser justcafe being cheerful welcome to the Lycoris Cafe  

  • even kurumi got a freaking character trailer  which in hindsight pretty much spoils that  

  • she survived that gun fight you know Kurumi  literally meaning Walnut in Japanese even  

  • the Japanese were completely cut off guard oh  it's just another cute girl daily life anime  

  • freaking hilarious in hindsight do you think they  should do more of this clever type of marketing

  • forget about the action scenes you may load  the anime just from watching Chisato and  

  • Takina interact it gets even more interesting  when you find out how their characters were  

  • initially designed especially Chisato who was  completely different which one of the two do  

  • you think was created first if you said your  wife of Takina you're right Takina's character  

  • actually ran through the initial anime without  much change the name Takina is actually also  

  • the name of a flower so keeping with tradition  asaurora mentioned that all his female Heroes  

  • of his works are named after flowers go figure  bonus fact happy birthday takina August 2nd on  

  • the flip side you have Chisato who was completely  different in the early stages she was a Simpson  

  • type of character with this gyaru element  to her it was planned that Chisato would  

  • eventually soften up as she interacted with  Takina the Chisato you know now is pretty much  

  • a different person according to asarura  it would be difficult to express Chisato  

  • Lively cheerful an animated personality  and writing she's a character that could  

  • really only be expressed in anime since she's so  charmful happy birthday Chisato September 23rd

  • and since I know you're wondering Jerry how about  the rest of the Charming Lycoris Cafe cast first  

  • off your favorite blonde loli Kurumi it seems  Adachi has a thing for the young girl type of  

  • characters you may notice a strikely resemblance  to another blonde lowly from a different anime  

  • he actually admitted he tried his best to change  it up but Twitter still made the comparison then  

  • for the older Mizuki she originally didn't have  glasses at the beginning but out of the four main  

  • Cafe girls they wanted one with glasses she spent  to be this portrayed with its mature intelligent  

  • older lady one who wants to get married as soon  as possible and loves to drink come pie to that  

  • then for your favorite Mika it was decided early  on that Mika would be a black character they  

  • actually had a wonderful time designing his firmly  realistic look the thing was imiki only ever had  

  • experience drawing younger characters so he did  tons of research he absolutely was determined  

  • to have Mika wear a kimono bonus flag Mika's  birthday was on July 13th I just love that he  

  • can actually hear she's at those voice actors  singing happy birthday to him on the radio

  • so hopefully you enjoyed watch this next video if  you're craving more comment below with other anime
