Before its first episode could even air, Lycoris Recoil had already been slated to be the season's unique show to watch out for. Much to fans' delight, it's only gotten better since. If you're itching to find out what happens next, you're not alone! Here's the latest on Lycoris Recoil Episode 5's release date and time.

Lycoris Recoil: What's It All About?
Cafe worker Chisato Nishikigi is lively and ever-smiling. During their first few days as partners, the straight-faced, serious Takina Inoue found it hard to believe she was supposed to learn from this girl.
The more time they spent together, however, and the more missions they succeeded in as undercover agents called Lycoris, Takina couldn't help but see what made Chisato so great, and why she was known as the strongest Lycoris.
Chisato and Takina are only two of the countless Lycoris all over Japan who are responsible for keeping the country's peace. But as the last two episodes have hinted at, an imminent threat is upon all of them.
Episode 3 took on a lighter vibe with that spinning hug and Takina's surprising show of emotions, while episode 4 came in pretty hard with new revelations and more telling clues.
Because we're barely halfway into the series, it's understandable that the clues given to us, though many, aren't telling us much yet. Although a myriad of theories have spawned following the developments.
Since Chisato claims to hate the feeling of being sorry for killing bad guys, it's assumed she has taken lives before. This directly explains why she opts for non-fatal bullets to disable her opponents.
With Alan Institute's Yoshi being revealed as someone who had helped Chisato when she was younger, and his line about geniuses being gifts from God that should be let loose in the world even if they're geniuses at killing, fans think Yoshi has plans of getting Chisato to kill again.
However, a new male character with an apparent thirst for violence was also introduced, and fans couldn't agree yet on whether Yoshi was talking about him or Chisato.
True to LycoReco fashion, however, the episode was generously peppered with cute Chisato x Takina moments, further raising questions about whether Lycoris Recoil is a yuri anime after all.
Episode 4's boxers fiasco and Takina's breaking out of character (that's a lot of smiles!) were the best yet. Wonder what we can expect from episode 5!
