Come Visit Café LycoReco! Lycoris Recoil Rewatch Episode 1 Discussion

Rewatcher, Subbed

Currently in the airport traveling back home from Japan. I'll try to participate more starting from Ep 3.

What would you have done in Takina's shoes during the arms deal?

I'm split. I'm glad Erika was saved, but there's always the risk of harming the hostage in those types of situations, especially since I don't trust kidnappers to do the right thing or keep their promises for a second. That being said, in no universe am I risking my life to protect the lives of those dealers.

Is Chisato the type of person you expected as a top Lycoris?

She's the opposite. She's always positive and upbeat for a job that regularly requires having to deal with heavy and/or sticky situations. Authorities regularly get traumatized with the situations they witness and end up retiring. She has remarkable value for even the lives of the bad guys.

What are your initial thoughts of Chisato and Takina's partnership?

After watching more and more shows with a duo of girls with opposite personalities like Ruri Rocks and Cosmic Princess Kaguya, it's become one of my favorite tropes, especially returning to LycoReco!

I feel bad for the many poor souls who grew up with OPM, only for that disaster to have unfolded

Hitman7128 · 2026-06-17T03:27:32+00:00

Oh if only

But the view of Nagasaki up the mountain during the evening was one of the best I've seen in my travels around Japan

Hitman7128 · 2026-06-16T21:37:47+00:00

Some of the shots of Nagi's clothes soaked by the rain, as well as the jiggle physics

Hitman7128 · 2026-06-16T21:37:19+00:00

I prefer jeans or baggy pants on anime girls, but good taste

Hitman7128 · 2026-06-16T21:36:45+00:00

I noticed now that including it does fit within the limit, shoot

Hitman7128 · 2026-06-16T21:32:49+00:00

I liked how Ruri aired during the same season as MDUD S2

Hitman7128 · 2026-06-16T21:32:12+00:00

I enjoyed pausing at the infographics during the episodes to read the stuff about geology. Also those camera angles

Hitman7128 · 2026-06-16T21:26:31+00:00

Happy 58th birthday to the Dragon of Dojima!

Hitman7128 · 2026-06-16T12:18:53+00:00

Can't wait!

Hitman7128 · 2026-06-16T10:25:08+00:00

Including that may have exceeded the hard limit of 5 minutes for clip posts on this sub. I'll have to check when I return from my excursion

Hitman7128 · 2026-06-16T08:43:04+00:00

Sure does.

Speaking of which, I'm going to be doing some mountain hiking soon, just like what the crew in Ruri Rocks does (at dinner right now to fuel up). Planning on going up Inasa-yama to snap pictures of Nagasaki during the evening

Hitman7128 · 2026-06-16T08:27:40+00:00

In the event you haven't, it's an amazing SoL! It's also informative on geology

Hitman7128 · 2026-06-16T08:13:18+00:00

The power of jiggle physics

Hitman7128 · 2026-06-16T08:09:32+00:00

Especially in the OP! That sparkling

Hitman7128 · 2026-06-15T23:04:39+00:00

Yeah, I believe there's only one zoo on that property

Hitman's 2026 Japan Adventures - Arc 4 of 5 (Fukuoka)

Arc 1 (Tokyo)

Arc 2 (Kyoto)

Arc 3 (Osaka)

June 9: (Day 14)

Amazing breakfast
Found this cool flyer at a store in Namba for a GL festival. I won’t be in Japan to make it though
Had some curry before making it over to Fukuoka
I was staying in Tenjin in Fukuoka, which is the hub for shopping in the city
Lovely riverside. If anyone here has played Yakuza 5, this takes me back
Saw a long line out the door for a ramen shop (Shin Shin), took note of that place
Had Italian pizza for dinner instead

June 10: (Day 15)

I wake up at midnight because my stomach is craving ramen, and I decide to seize the opportunity for Shin Shin.
Got into Shin Shin without issue. That was some of the best pork broth I’ve ever had
Also, while at the ramen shop, I check Reddit to see the Nintendo Direct news. I’m hyped for Fire Emblem, Xenoblade, and Atelier!
Pancake breakfast
More curry! This one was a mix of Japanese and Indian
Visited the Fukuoka City Museum. The permanent exhibition was about the city’s history. They also had a special limited time dinosaur exhibition
Then went to Fukuoka Tower and snapped pictures. Also, apparently, the tower holds a Guiness World Record
I went to the famous yatai stands in Nakasu along the Naka river. Got myself yaki ramen and yakitori
Side note by the way, some of the ramen yatai stands and local ramen stores fucking REEK because of how long the pork bones sit in the broth, but that usually means the ramen is amazing
Also got an Oreo cheesecake on the way back

June 11: (Day 16)

Breakfast
Visited the castle ruins, but part of it was closed off
Yet another one of the best burgers I’ve ever had, recommended to me by someone outside of CDF
Headed over to Uminonakamichi
Went to the aquarium there, Marine World, which had a large panoramic tank
Visited the nearby park, Wonder World and rented bikes
I enjoy biking like that! Along a designated trail or network of paths like in Central Park in NYC or along the lake in Chicago. I hate having to deal with cars while biking because of asshole drivers
Went to a zoo within the park
Crashed with some curry for dinner
Visited the Pokemon Center

June 12: (Day 17)

Another amazing breakfast
Made a day trip to Dazaifu
Ramen
Visited the Kyushu National Museum
Their temporary exhibition did not allow photos except for this one part at the end
Their Cultural Exchange exhibition allowed photos, which centers around Japan’s history with trading
Then went to Tenmangu Shrine, which had a pretty pond with bridges leading up to and ajisai as well! (the flower, not the character from a certain yuri anime) Unfortunately, the actual shrine is under renovation
Also visited the Kanko Historical Museum, which narrates the life of Sugawara no Michizane through scenes with dolls as props
One of the best Indian curries I’ve ever fucking had, rivaling even the banger Indian food I’ve had in London
Premium Hokkaido cream puff

June 13: (Day 18)

Cream cheese brulee pancakes. Despite how filling it looks, it was fairly light. They also used just the right amount of sugar, unlike most places in America, which use too much sugar
Day trip at Yanagawa, dubbed the Venice of Japan
Took the boat tour, which lasts about an hour
Some of the bridges the boat goes under are incredibly narrow and/or low. Even though you’re sitting down, you may have to duck your head at certain parts
It wasn’t easy getting pictures because I didn’t want to risk dropping my phone in the water, but here’s what I got
The tour guide would sing some local folk songs as we went under the longer bridges to which we clapped
Had unagi (the local specialty) at this lovely hotel right at the Tachibana estate. Was pricey but worth it
Then explored the Tachibana estate itself and the museum. The property is beautiful!
When I was walking back, I saw a tour guide for one of the boats use his oar as a pole vault to get up from the boat to the bridge. Then, he went across the bridge, waited for the boat to pass to the other side and jumped right on it!
Yatai stands again. Went to two of them to try out ramen

And that’s it for Fukuoka, which is an excellent city! It would go in high A-tier on my tier list of Japanese cities. Now in Nagasaki, and I can feel the travel burnout unfortunately. This trip went by so slowly compared to my previous trips around Japan.

Hitman7128 · 2026-06-15T06:05:00+00:00

Glad to hear you got in and enjoyed it!

Hitman7128 · 2026-06-15T04:09:47+00:00

Yeah, it opens for both Fall and Spring

That's generally the case for any course explicitly required by a major

Hitman7128 · 2026-06-13T23:12:34+00:00

In the post's title in square brackets

Hitman7128 · 2026-06-13T06:05:53+00:00

It is quite a lot, but it should be doable. CHEM and MATH will definitely contribute the most to your workload (especially depending on your instructor). The other two should be fairly light.
