| I haven't seen this. "WIXOSS is a card game that's popular with teenagers. Supposedly there exist "LRIG Cards," female character cards with wills of their own"- And I stopped reading the synopsis. Is this one of those "only cute girls are allowed to exist" shows? Looks like it. |

| There are people who are unable to enjoy an anime for what it is. |
| Probably because card games animes aren't very appealing to the audience? |
| I find it REALLY hard to get into card game animes, They really just aren't my thing. The fact that this show barely touches the card games is actually a little appealing to me and probably why im enjoying it. I wouldn't say it'll appeal to card game fans at all, and it's REALLY not dark or psychological enough to pull in those type of fans. Personally I'd just say it's not going far enough into each genre to hit the target audiences. That and then a lot of people get put off by the "cute girl only" thing. |
| Maybe because people came in here expecting a yugioh like anime, meaning they actually focus on the game, card effects etc. I came in this anime expecting that too, but now I'm in this for the story. |
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!" |
| I must confess that as Lunamaria pointed out I was expecting something more Yugioh-alike. However that doesn't mean the show is bad per se. |

 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |

soluuloi said: Because it's just boring and illogical. The illogical part have already been said by the others. And the boring part is inevitable. The show gives us dark atmosphere for no reason, the pain or whatever the characters endured is not dark or edgy at all, the hardship that the characters have to go through is a joke. There is no depth in this anime, look at the sign of the poster above me, see how Han Solo reacts? That's me after watching this anime. You cant simply throw eerie music into a comedy show and expect the audiences to tremble in fear. I am not amused at all. Even shows like Noragami or GuP are darker and more serious than this anime. A. The dark atmosphere is so fake that it's not even funny. It's just a dark, edgy wannabe anime. B. This anime is about card game with no detail about the rules and not to mention how boring the card fights are. You do realize you just perfectly described Madoka Magica don't you? |
| Well that's MAL for you. I don't see why though, MAL loves madoka and this show is basically a darker madoka with trading cards. It seems MAL is a little fickle. Oh well, it doesn't matter anyway, you should just learn to ignore ratings. |
| I have no prejudice against any type of anime, but annoying characters makes an anime virtually impossible to enjoy. For 6 episodes now I've been trying to find a character that I could "mentally align" with, but to no avail. Every time I try, they ostracize that character from the series. My favorite character now is the loli that just appeared ep 6. She had about 3 minutes of screen time. That's how far I've fallen. They could have epics that rival the masterpieces of Shakespeare and animation that puts Kotonoha no Niwa to shame, but if the characters are fundamentally repulsive, I can't see myself enjoying it in the least. And for the record this is not a psychological thriller. A wishy-washy girl who can't even make the most basic of decisions, trying to find her way blindly while bumping into walls is hardly worthy of the "psychological" tag. I don't care what kind of dark sugar they coat it with, but in the end that's all it comes down to. |

Hitsugi no Chaika, Kiss x Sis, To LOVE-Ru and Fault etc. |

Hitsugi no Chaika, Kiss x Sis, To LOVE-Ru and Fault etc. Just to clear up any misunderstandings. I stated "non-annoying characters" as a preliminary condition for liking an anime. Since that premise was not met, I was left with no choice but to like one of the annoying characters, which is a mental response (compromise if you will) in order to coax oneself long enough to enjoy the substance in the anime. In cases where the majority of the cast is likable, such a necessity doesn't apply. But here I'll humor you. For Chaika I would have to say Tooru, because he exemplifies a non-orthodoxed MC, although this is merely just lip-service for an answer, because I like all the character in the series. They all have their quirks and I enjoy their interactions with each other. Another way to put it - they all have their goals and they're working actively towards it without looking back. For Kiss x Sis.. I don't know I watched that 4 years ago. I think I really liked it because that season sucked and it was my first "ecchi" anime or something. I guess I'd align with the guy? He doesn't do anything cringe-worthy and his sisters aren't irritation little brats. Did I really rank To LOVE-Ru that high? Well, better revise my ratings soon. Fault is just badass because all the characters were likable, and together they constructed a relaxing environment where you expected sweet romance, and you got sweet romance. WIXOSS just doesn't have enough substance or direction to amend for the bland characters. |

| It's a card game yet they don't even bother having actual matches and don't even explain how it plays. And it's overly dark for no reason. |

This anime is about card game with no detail about the rules and not to mention how boring the card fights are. Boring..well, if you're only into Naruto/Gundam/Macross, then it'll be boring..because it isn't any of those.If you stopped early on, then you might have missed something. The anime isn't really so much about the card game itself, but instead it drives the story and plot, and not alot more (so far). Every cardgame anime I've ever seen was booring (and had alot of in-your-face advertising)...except this one. Not sure what you mean about illogical in this case. Most things that don't actually happen in real life is in itself illogical, so that would apply to just about any anime. Going against established logic in the anime's setting, that is a whole different kind of fish. I can't say I've noticed something like that in this series though. But, what people like or dislike differs quite alot..and that's good. Pleb. |

Oh well, it doesn't matter anyway, you should just learn to ignore ratings. Though I still am confused about why people think the show's medicore since not many people are giving their own reasons. I mean yeah, it's not perfect, but at least the main lead is actually doing something unlike Madoka. It has a better score than Fantasista Doll, and there's similarities between the two, so I'd say that's a step in the right direction. But then again, Genei wo Kakeru Taiyou was accused of being a blatant Madoka rip-off/wannabe despite going down its own path, and I really enjoyed it. Personal tastes, of course, but seeing cute girls in dark situations is nothing new. *coughHigurashicough* |

allflying said: Your misinterpreting his words. He means sympathy, not empathy. |
 |
| Because it sucks in every conceivable way. There are basically no redeeming features for this anime. Also no likable characters, except Akira to a low degree. The worst part about this shit is how people keep comparing it to true serious works like Madoka. |
different said: Hm I guess it isn't the edgyness that's the problem..Maybe it's because the edgyness doesn't mix well with the card game part.. In madoka you had epic battles I guess the battles might have relieved some stress that was built up by the characters personalities.. While this show the card game battles don't really relieve any of that built up stress..Especially when you wanna see an annoying character just die or get pummeled. That doesn't happen. From what I've read it seems many people do not actually know what they dislike about the show, they dislike certain parts of it but there is no clear answer. So I'm left to believe the minuses of this show outweigh the positives of this show for most people. Thanks guys. yeah, that's me in a nutshell when it comes to this series. I actually liked episode 8, and that surprised me, but as for why I wasn't enjoying the show before that... I can't really put my finger on any one particular reason. Something, though I still can't decide what, just didn't resonate. |
| "Let's make a miracle happen using the power of friendship." "If that was all it took, there'd be no need for training arcs!" "Normal rabbits don't carry guns!" |
| Because people are stupid |
 |
| Probably because they read 'card game'. Too bad for them they're missing out on a show thats as good as Madoka (at least thats what I think so far), just with a card game twist. |
| main character is too op I mean, why does her LRIG just happen to be stronger than teh rest? An there's no good explanation for the rules of the game. MC summons card. It hurts enemy. Enemy summons card, blocked by MC. At least give some insight to how it works. I don't mind card games really, but at least let us know what's going on besides pretty animation. The music is pretty nice though Also, the characters aren't enjoyable. There personalities are... ick. Yes, MC is dark, which is a nice change, but we only know that cause other people from back flashes talk about it. Currently, there's no sign that she's been through anything in the past really. And it's painful to watch character interactions. And a lot of them seems rather bland. As others mentioned before, it's almost like it's trying too hard. But I haven't watched episode 8 yet. It seems the score went up, so maybe it's better. |

| Because it's not everyone's cup of tea. To be honest it started really slow and somewhat it wasn't very charming but I didn't drop it since this is one of the type of anime that I like the most...and I'm happy about it because it's turning into something really interesting. Nonetheless I can't blame those people who usually prefer lighter, happier and warmer stories and thus might dislike this. |
