Lycoris Recoil (Season 1)

Lycoris Recoil (リコリス・リコイル, 2022) — watch online the Japanese anime action-comedy series on iFILM. On the surface, the LycoReco café in Tokyo serves coffee and sweets. Behind that counter, two government-trained girls handle whatever problem walks through the door — and some that never make it inside.

Chika, voiced by Chika Anzai, is relentlessly cheerful and disastrously good at her job. Chisato, voiced by Shion Wakayama, is composed, quietly lethal, and perpetually exhausted by her partner's enthusiasm. The café takes requests from ordinary customers and anonymous agencies alike — deliveries, escorts, armed takedowns — all handled with a smile and no paperwork that would hold up in court.

The 2022 series became one of the most-watched anime of its season, driven less by plot twists than by how well these two very different characters play off each other. Stream Lycoris Recoil online on iFILM.
