Quick comment...
Don't complain about originality. For example, Steins;Gate. People love that anime to bits. Is it original? Not in the slightest. It took a bazillion cliche and troperific time travel plots and even gave it a terminator-like doomed dystopic future.

All that matters is how well it's presented, and how enjoyable it is.

If you get too "original" you start to get things that are just unwatchably bizarre.

So just try to enjoy anime, or just don't. I for one see potential in Wixoss.

I was never a fan of card game shows, but I feel like this anime has potential especially with how dark it looks. The animation was good, music was good, and the story isn't half bad either. 7/10

Yeah not sure what all the complaints are about...because there are card games in it? Its extremely, extremely obvious that the battles themselves will have very little depth as they are not the focus of the anime, but rather the mind games that will be happening both in and out of battles, how people fall into insanity, what if someone is desperate to win but already has their two losses? I can see them murdering or blackmailing to get what they desire. The first opening minute of this anime got me hooked, you KNOW it's going to be dark, and in no way some generic card game anime just from that. Can it be a huge flop? Sure, but right now the potential it has is pretty insane

I thought it was something different.
I never watched card game animes, and this has quite surprised me.
This first episode was nice, nothing special, the character design was quite simple, and I don't like the Tama design.

I like the artwork, though, but it's strange, sometimes well defined and sometimes is "dirty", recalls Pupa in this.
The atmosphere it suggests goes in contrast with the general concept.
I like the OP, the ED is ok.
Also, in this is quite clear the incest.

This is like fantasista dolls but dark.

Yes it does has Madoka vibes. I have a feeling that sh*ts going to be real in the third episode.

The biggest detractor for me is the "card game" theme which inevitably has the show get really boring. I only decided to watch it because the PV had a certain darkness to it. The first episode wasn't bad. None of the characters met so far are annoying. I'll keep on with this one at least for a few more episodes to see how it develops. This theme could turn south really quickly.

I just rewatched Rev. Girl Utena then Mawaru Penguindrum, so another anime about wishes and whatnot feels like overkill personally, not to mention those two are works of art. I don't know if this can live up to half of what those shows are

stray observations/opinions:
-MC learned that card game pretty quickly, with minimal help from the guy
-Tama is evil or has some evil counterpart which is the source of the wish granting, as hinted by her dream
-the reason for being "friends" was a little strange and felt forced.
-not a huge fan of the characters and their mannerisms.

Not a bad first ep, the card battles look like they could be good. I can see Tama gradually learning to speak throughout the series.

The grandma was sweet.

Also, incest wish already?.. Will watch a few and see how it goes.

Heh card games. The wish thing could be neat but systems with explicit rules often end up being really boring to me in anime.
Also twincest is a red flag.

Her not wanting a wish and to become a ''chosen girl or wtv'' plus 'I just want to make her smile'' intro bit reminds me of madoka.

I'm pretty sure Yuzuki wants to wish for Kazuki to not be her brother somehow, I get the feeling she's not interested in legit incest(sorry Siscon2000).

Anyway, I'm still as interested as I was when I saw the preview and staff. The pacing wasn't great and I certainly haven't fallen in love with any characters, but the dark undertones are enough to hold me over, since I'm pretty sure some nice mindfuckery is laying in wait.

Somewhat interesting episode. Tuned in because of the names attached to this anime and turned out to be ok. Incest is kinda meh. I haven't really dabbled in a lot of card game animes since Yugioh as a kid so can't say too much yet. So far what rules are going on in this game?

First episode is promising. I've got my eyes on this one.

I'm getting a yugioh + madoka magica + mirai nikki vibe goin on.

I'll admit I want that cute loli card.

I'm not trolling.

This anime is Black Rock Shooters Art with Madoka's themes and colors.

When she was on the train and a black screen with words came up I actually face palmed.

Show seems pretty good so far, but most shows blatantly ripping off other popular shows can tend to be fairly decent.

Looks like I wasn't the only one that god Madoka vibes from this first episode, this was an alright first episode, although Tama's voice is annoying as heck, I'm interested in seeing if this story gets darker. I'm also curious as to whether or not there are more consequences if a selector loses 3 times besides not getting the wish and losing their LRIG.

They couldn't be bothered explaining the game rules. The MC magically figures out the rules on the spot. She must be some kind of genius.

Since comparisons seem to be so popular, I'll add one of my own: this is Angelic Layer meets Cardcaptor Sakura, but darker. Looks good so far, pacing is right on track for a 12-episode series. Didn't expect much, but happily surprised with the first episode.

Pretty good so far, even if it was the first episode. owo
We got to see a little bit of a psychological scene around the middle of the episode, which was creepy....but that's expected of a psychological anime. :P
We also got a first card battle too! But, it was later interrupted.... :/


Overall, it looks alright, I hope to see this anime progress really well. :3

It started out very normalish, with a school setting, which always annoys me. However, I loved the events of the episode, and I thought the new friendship was sweet. Very similar to the beginning of the Black Rock Shooter OVA. I hope the series gets really serious and intense :3

I was so disappointed in the opening! I wanted it to be weird and amazing! I always expect great things from psychological anime.

Yugioh+Madoka Magica?
I wish they'd do a yugioh and actually explain the rules and effects. Watching a card battle's no fun if you don't know what's happening!
Tama really, really likes to battle. Blood Knight much?

Not particularly impressed but definitely intrigued. I liked the dark atmosphere and the bgm is pretty good.

I guess they'll be explaining the rules as they go through more battles.

And of course, lots of Yu-gi-oh vibes xD

I know it's practically a necessity for the main character to be naive and slow at first but that phase tends to be annoying to watch. I hope she'll be taking these games more seriously soon.

Tama is very cute. And implied psychotic in battle. Nice :P

It was interesting to say the least..It kinda has the Madoka Magica feeling to it. Especially in the next episode preview and with the dream. If it does take that route maybe the anime will be more than what I expected. 6/10 for the first episode.

I would say keep watching. It has this Madoka Magica feeling to it to where it can just take off out of nowhere and become something we completely didnt expect. At least until episode 3 or 4 give it a chance :p

Looking at a lot of you guys in this thread trying to be pseudo-critics and it's making me hella cringe. It's rather obvious.

Somehow I have feeling this show will involving a pun. Selector Infected WIXOSS will become "Select Or Infected WIXOSS" or something similar. Not to forget this pun just like madoka, infected or not is about choice and wish.
