[Eng Subs] Chisato and Takina's touching bench moment 

That's it. The Story from Lycoris was from Start an the friendship between this two Girls. We have 9 Episoden Witnessed how both have become closer and closer. Chisato has managed to completely change the otherwise so cold Takina. Takina would now do anything for Chisato and that's exactly what she will do in the next few episodes.

Wholeheartedly agreed!! There’s so much depth to the characters and plot.

Lots of people don't understand character development and the fact that it is the core part of a story. They tend to translate "story" into "plot" regardless of how little it meant in the absent of meaningful effects toward the characters' experiences and relationships.

I had a discussion with a good friend from my D&D group (who is also the DM) about why these moments of non-action and downtime are actually good for stories. He mentioned that the cool plot-related stuff like saving the world, fighting bad guys or running a country, while awesome and entertaining to watch, is often harder to relate to, because who actually does this stuff on a regular basis? Downtime and SOL moments where the characters just get to be themselves and interact with each other, doing mundane and ordinary things, helps develop the characters further and allows us to relate more to them. That gets us attached to the characters and we start to care more deeply about them, thus we become more emotionally invested in the story. It's kinda like just knowing someone at work versus considering the same person as a friend. If something happens to a co-worker whose relationship with you is purely business, you'll probably feel sad for them but on a relatively superficial level, and you'll also probably be worried about how this will affect your work. ("What now? The main protagonist is dead, who will defeat the BBEG?") If something happens to a co-worker who is also a close friend, you'll probably feel their loss and grieve it, perhaps even to the point of needing to take a break from work. ("WHY, YUUKI? WHY DID REKI KAWAHARA FORCE SUCH A CRUEL FATE ON YOU WHEN HE WROTE THE PLOT OF THIS STORY?")

Agree. Without that part the story will be much darker. The "actual" storyline was really dark, and that's when the director decided to add some "brightness" to the anime.

😭

Sigh... Sadly for now, LycoReco is still in the IYIMH! (It's Yuri In My Heart!) category...

What

FR?

Right?! So much feels in one episode 😭

Huh

I heard the LN is pretty spicy

@@Sneevilman it is, in translations I’ve seen scattered through the internet Takina has some well… thoughts and feelings about Chisato 😉

Thanks for the heart. ❤💙

Really hope so too 😣

Facts, even if they don't kiss, I would be fine with it, I'd be happy if they at least confirm if they get together romantically or not

😐☕

Hello! At the moment I’m studying mostly kanji with wanikani and grammar from time to time.
