In a time where anime these days are just generic shonen and isekai, these three anime were made to combat against them.

The Aquatope on White Sand is so so so SO emunene coded. Emu who keeps taking care of her grandfather’s aquarium because she cherished it so much despite it being close to shutting down, and Nene who gives up her dreams of making it big after she begins to doubt herself looking for a new wish to chase after. Can we think about this CAN WE CONSIDER THIS.

Lycoris Recoil (2022) poster by u/Lovro26
Japan is known as a peaceful country with no dangers of violent crimes and domestic terrorism. The existence of such dangers that disrupt the society are eradicated by a secret government organization called, Lycoris.
Lycoris trains a group of orphaned girls as “assassins” that work in the shadows to take down criminals and terrorists, and covering them up to avoid the public from knowing of any real threat that exist to prevent mass hysteria.
The girls wear the school-like uniforms (in the poster) to blend in the crowd to avoid notice because a harmless looking school girl is the last person anyone would expect or suspect to be an “assassin”.
Takina Inoue is an exceptional Lycoris with a strong sense of purpose and a penchant for perfection. Unfortunately, after an incident during a mission involving the act of insubordination which almost jeopardise her team, she got kicked out of the organization and transferred to a new base of operation, LycoReco, a cafe in disguise for ‘sleeper agents’.
Takina's new partner, Chisato Nishikigi, is the polar opposite of her, more easy-going person who appears to be not taking her job seriously when in reality she actually excels in her missions. Like Rurouni Kenshin who uses reverse blade sword to avoid killing, Chisato uses blank rounds to slow down her enemies instead of killing for a personal reason revealed later in the show.
Poster from Official Website
There are several other supporting characters that plays a critical role in Chisato’s and Takina’s lives that I find likeable, even the main villain who is like the Joker from The Dark Knight who is contempt in Japanese society’s complacency living in peace which he thinks is a facade as everyone has a dark side that is waiting to be released during times of uncertainty.
I was looking for an interesting anime to watch after Spy x Family and came across this trailer below which strikes me as a mix of action, seriousness and lighthearted moments. The interesting plot and cool uniforms aroused my curiosity into watching it and I am glad I did! Just wish it is more than 13 episodes! But I won’t be surprise if there’s another season in the future!
And I just can’t get enough of Chisato and Takina, their personalities and relationship reminds me a lot of Kukuru Misakino and Fuuka Miyazawa from the slice of life anime, The Aquatope on White Sands. One being lively and hot-headed while the other being calm and reserved. And they both learn a lot from each other along the way becoming the closest of friends.
