Lostorage Conflated WIXOSS

Tensions from the Selector battles have seemingly vanished, and the remaining participants have quickly put the entire ordeal behind them. However, Kiyoi Mizushima feels that the conflict has yet to end. Despite Kou Satomi's defeat, his supporters are already attempting to revive his plans in the background.

It does not take long for Mizushima's suspicions to be confirmed true. Not only does the Selector battle system reemerge, but also a new mechanic has been implemented. Players receive a special key card that will unlock with gold coins, releasing a hidden power. Aware of the formidable foes that lie ahead, Mizushima begins to seek out skilled allies in her endeavor to finally break the cycle of darkness.

OPEN, so, is JC Staff done with it's Wixoss anime franchise, or were we gonna be seeing another spin-off of some sort????Let's not forget in the first Wixoss which is Selector Infected Wixoss and it's sequel Selector Spread Wixoss, the selectors were all girls and the rules were different, since it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, the holder get's fucked, while in the spin-off of Lostorage Incited Wixoss boys can now participate , the winner can have his/her wish granted without any repercussions and the loser becomes a LIRG and his existence is no more. Here in Lostorage Conflated Wixoss the rules have ... change that us audience can easily get lost as what gives about such Wixoss game where as it's title suggested Lostorage Conflated Wixoss were the cast of Wixoss of the selector series gets combine with the cast of the Lostorage series has basically added some conflict when the rules and as to why Akira just disappeared without becoming a LIRG herself and when Kiyoi has already beaten Carnival who was supposed to be Kiyoi's bitch starts to take advantage of biting her hand by siding with that LRIG of Beginnings........That's the white girl whom Kiiyoi fought in the last episode , right? Anyways, combining the characters from the Wixoss series was good, but the enjoyable part was seeing Kou Satomi / Carnival get beaten by Kiyoi , and Ruko getting to owned Kaede but as I watched this sequel I'm just basically getting lost about them LIRG of the selector series with that of the Lostarge series, just making this review already making me go nuts about how each LIRG were related to whose holder, then again the part were we see the LIRG of beginnings getting owned by a leveled up Kiyoi / Piruluk does give this Wixoss series a "VERY GOOD" ending and seeing them LRIG becoming the memories of the slector who lost from previous battles was touching , btw did someone notices a Amika look alike on the ending post credits , ya know a LIRG Amika who somehow becomes a human Amika twin of sorts. Ya know, I'm starting to go nuts, so here are the lowdowns of my review:

Story- Poor 3: It may be good the the two series of Wixoss were combined, but, IMAO it adds to my conflications about those other LIRG not owned by the main characters.

Art- Mediocre 5: Cu'z its the same illustration design, the same LIRGs, the same Characters, except in the selector series we get to see Ruko and her gang sport the Sr High School uniform that makes them hot.

Sound-Mediocre 5: Do I need to say more considering that it the same voice actors who did the character's voice.

Character- Very Good 6:We can safely say that this is Kiyoi's moment and in fact she was able to owned the LIRG of beginnings, Carnival, and Akira was something else.

Enjoyment- fair 6: since I'm having a hard time of understanding about the other LIRG's. the rules to the battles and the conflicts that somehow I was unable to wrap my head around it.

Overall-Good 7: Well , since this is where the Wixoss franchise ends , for its anime setting, I just see it as just "GOOD" enough, when this anime has a lot of short cuts and somehow rushed, frankly, I just don't see any point that this anime should be very good when the selector series has to be combined with the lostorage series, I mean they should have just continued with the lostarge series since the selector series has a clean ending. So I hope JC Staff doesn't start another spin off and then combine it with the other two series that would add to such complications. BATTLE !!!!!!!

Lostorage Conflated WIXOSS FINALLY finishes off this anime about high school girls battling each other with cards for memories and wishes to a fitting conclusion...

ALOT of people were divided over incited WIXOSS for bringing in new rules as well the the villains given, however Conflated gave a newer spin and an even more interesting element to the finale of this series...

Selector Infected WIXOSS and Lostorage's cast mingle together!

No seriously that in itself was a great idea and even the diverging cast members fighting each other would have been an interesting scenario which it pulled off. As such Lostorage's new sets of battles set up by ... Carnival where all the characters from both series to clash with one another with new rules...if you lose, you lose your LRIG. Because there are new battles, that means some notion of motivation as to the new and old characters, Lostorage's Suzuko voiced by Chinami Hashimoto trying to get back Chinatsu's memories back and Selector's Ruuko voiced once again by Ai Kakuma to get back Tama after some complicated turn of events. The rest of the expansive cast have their motives to battle which kinda goes back to their character development of the series they originated from, but if there was one TRUE protagonist in Conflated, that would have been Kiyoi Mizushima voiced by Saori Oonishi and LA's favorite character because of how much development we got from her, not to mention it MADE sense for Kiyoi to be the true protagonist, being in both Selector and Lostorage battles as both a LRIG and a human in the process of it all.

Kiyoi goes through the most character development in this season, with having knowing of her days as a LRIG before and after Selector infected, her connection the the new Piruluk who was once a best friend of Kiyoi after her LRIG days, as well as MANY of the opponents trying to get revenge at her (like Aoi Akira) which feels poetic to say the least as well as her connection to the "room" and Mayu, LA could easily see why Kiyoi got the most screentime this season and was well worth it knowing what was once a satellite character having soo much importance in the plot and ultimately Kiyoi wanting to stop the battles for GOOD this time.

Ruuko and Suzuko does have importance in the plot like LA said, like of getting Chinatsu's memories and Tama back, but Ruuko and Suzuko's group also ties up loose ends in each of their series' character plot as well, though not as much as Ruuko's though because we get the basic "get the group back together LRIG or otherwise" while Suzuko and Chinatsu's relationship grows back by the end of it. Though LA will say that Ruuko's group development stems from concluding Mayu's story while having some small sense of character conclusion and motives from Ruuko's side. So mingling both cast of characters and their interaction if anything is probably the best thing about this season and how each character helps with the other as well.

Once again the animation done by JC Staff was typical of Lostorage atmosphere, both being colorful and impactful with it's Selector battles while adding some good atmospheric animation to make the animation decent enough. Really it's typical Lostorage animation from backgrounding to battles and quirky character designs (both human and LRIG).

Voice acting was great as well with Saori Oonishi being the MVP of it all like LA said above about Kiyoi, however there is a lesser sense of "batshit crazy characters", you'd think Yuka Iguchi going bleak dark crazy was something, Carnival voiced by...KANA ASUMI (WHAT!??!?!?!) and new Layla voiced by Akari Kito & Reina Kondou (long story) were good substitutes for the batshit crazy, though they were the majorly focused villians for this season nonetheless...great cast all things considering both Selector and Lostorage's cast coming together.

Lostorage Conflated WIXOSS may have newer rules as well as adding in past cast members, but for what it was worth LA enjoyed Conflated all throughout this season, as getting to know Kiyoi more and more as well as concluding and resolving not only Selector Infected series but Lostorage series by it's characters were definitive pluses in LA's books that kept LA interested and sure it's an anime about girls fighting for wishes and memories in a card battle but Conflated helped immensely in it's character focused department for this to be more of a story of stopping a cycle more than "card games battle"...as LA can easily say that though Lostorage is an advertisement for cards but with a bleak atmosphere about it, but by NOW you can see that Lostorage was more of a plot and character focused story than an advertisement of card games.

Lostorage Conflated WIXOSS finally ended the cycle and tied up ALL it's loose ends and did it in a grand and satisfying conclusion and an anime FINALLY ending is quite something...even from a "card game sourced" adaptation.

Let's just hope this really is the finale of the franchise, otherwise the above statement will be meaningless if this isn't the end. Lostorage and by extensions JC Staff...please leave a good thing in a good light and not spoil it by continuing it...

Mixed Feelings

Wixoss is a very difficult series to rate. At its best, it's a 6/10, with 5 meaning average, not bad. At its worst, it's maybe a 3. Lostorage Incited is my favourite anime, but I've seen dozens of better ones. I can pick it apart all day and still have problems to talk about. Even just going by card game anime, Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds is better by a landslide. Even if you weigh it down with everything after the Dark Signers arc.

Lostorage Conflated is the peak of Wixoss. Barring that Diva anime, it is also my least favourite.

Objectively, there's nearly nothing all that wrong with this ... one. The plot's well done, it remembers a lot about the previous series and ties them into this, Carnival and Layla are fun, most of it's properly foreshadowed, and it's actually mostly consistent. I do dislike that Chinatsu and Donor get sidelined, but that's a small complaint. But in exchange for its bump in quality, its messy wannabe-Madoka feeling has mostly vanished. The dark - but not well done - story that Incited told that I love so much is gone. Chinatsu is denied a relapse into who she was last season, Hanna isn't as traumatized, so on and so on. The Infected/Spread cast also brush off some pretty upsetting events rather easily. The last five minutes of it were also rather unappealing, feeling more saccharine than satisfying.

Overall, I really like that it wraps up Incited. But compared to that incredibly messy 6/10 of an anime? I'm not interested.
