Fans Harass Lycoris Recoil Scriptwriter for Not Following the Yuri Route

Lycoris Recoil Scriptwriter Gets Harassed for Not Going the Yuri Route

By Lourdes FaustoSeptember 29, 2022

It seems some fans of the hit TV anime Lycoris Recoil weren’t so happy with the series’ finale. Many viewers took their frustrations on Twitter, even harassing one of the scriptwriters of the show for not giving the two main characters, Chisato Nishikigi and Takina Inoue, a romantic ending.

Yūsuke Kanbayashi, a scriptwriter for the anime, was flooded with hate comments online following the series’ finale on Saturday, Sept 24. Yūsuke was the one who wrote the episodes 4, 8, 9, 11, 12, and 13 of the anime.

The staff member, via his Twitter account, expressed his thanks to everyone who watched the show.

アニメ『リコリス・リコイル』脚本担当話数
4・8・9・11・12・13+次回予告いくつか
ご視聴くださった皆様、ありがとうございました。#リコリコ

— 神林 裕介:リコリコ脚本。ありがとうございました! (@kanedanova) September 24, 2022

Some fans, however, were quick to express their disappointment, even anger, for how the anime turned out. Most of the hate were rooted from how the last few episodes of the anime focused more on Chisato and Majima, the main antagonist of the series. Fans also noticed how the latter episodes pretty much put Takina on the sideline.

One Twitter user called Yūsuke’s scripts “awful,” even going as far as saying that the fight scene between Chisato and Majima made him “want to vomit.”

Apart from that, why are you creating such incidents about majima and chisato? Don’t u know that the true emotion line should be about chisato and takina? Though it’s rude to say but I have to admit that the action between majima and chisato in the last ep make me want to vomit.

Another user also said Yūsuke proved himself to be the “worst” scriptwriter based on the last four episodes of the series.

I earnestly hope for you. As a scriptwriter, you'd better take on everyday content rather than serious content. Lycoris recoil Episode 4, 8 and 9 proved that you are a good animation scriptwriter. And in episodes 10, 11, 12, and 13 of the lycoris recoil, you proved to be worst.

Other hate replies to the original Tweet include the following:

Though Majima is not dead, your father can not come back to life,what a pity!😆

It seems Takina killed your mother. Then I recommend you to let Chisato and Majima get married since Majima is your father. This will be a perfect solution cuz you can have a mother and Chisato cares more about Majima than Takina.

EP11,12,13 are total disasters!You should learn more about common sense. Can you capture a video to show me how can you survive from a 300m height falling?

i want to know when
your mother went dead.

Some users even went as far as posting an edited picture of Yūsuke on a leash while being led by Majima like a dog.

Fortunately, many other fans were quick to defend the staff member and call out the toxic behaviors of other Twitter users.

@Baleygr086 said the clear acts of harrassment were “disturbing.” The user also advised other fans to “rethink their life choices.”

Toxicity and acts of harassment over any staff involved in the production of a series is entirely uncalled for. In the case of LycoReco, the obvious behavior towards Kanbayashi who handled the script for almost half of the series over sullied yuribait expectations is disturbing. pic.twitter.com/KO0vJWcbvc

— Baleygr (CEO of 86 Eighty Six) (@Baleygr086) September 26, 2022

In short: touch some grass and rethink your life choices because if you're this salty over a relationship not getting its due that says something about you. It was never apparent they'd end up together. It's your own fault for setting yourself up for disappointment.

The same sentiments were expressed by @ChibiReviews, describing the online flak as “disgusting.”

What is Lycoris Recoil All About?

A-1 Pictures

Lycoris Recoil is a TV anime produced by A-1 Pictures. Crunchyroll, the platform streaming the series, describes the anime as follows:

For these peaceful days――there’s a secret behind it all.
A secret organization that prevents crimes: “DA – Direct Attack”. And their group of all-girl agents: “Lycoris”. This peaceful everyday life is all thanks to these young girls. The elite Chisato Nishikigi is the strongest Lycoris agent of all time. Alongside is Takina Inoue, the talented but mysterious Lycoris. They work together at one of its branches–Café LycoReco.

Here, the orders this café takes range from coffee and sweets to childcare, shopping, teaching Japanese to foreign students, etc. It’s mostly tasks unbefitting of Lycoris.

The free-spirited and optimistic pacifist, Chisato. And the cool-headed and efficient Takina. The chaotic everyday lives of this mismatched duo begin!

Crunchyroll
