| 3 MONTHS IS WORTH WAITING FOR THIS SHOW. HYPEEEE. I like the OP (though the first opening is still my fav) and the ED (better than the first). And yaaaay, more screen time for Chiyori and Eldora~ Nice recap flashbacks in this episode, my mind was refreshed. NOW WHERE THE HECK IS TAMA? |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |

| Ok episode, pretty much an intro. There is so much potential on this series, I just hope it doesn't disappoint me. |
 |
| I like Eldora already haha. I wish we can hear/see more of her. Chiyori mentioned the whole girl-becoming-an-LRIG was written in the book...I wonder who wrote the book? :o After three months, I still don't trust grandma. Aki-lucky next week! It's going to be so much fun :D |

| I'm happy to be watching WIXOSS again. I'm hoping for some good plot. |

orchidork said: the 1st episode was decent but chiyori's voice really hurts my ears. the depressing atmosphere is back too. i'm assuming tama might be akira's lrig. i'm also curious how iona and ruko will be like battling together. i'm looking forward to next week's episode What about Midoriko, what happened to her? I was thinking she could be Akira's LRIG. |
 |
| Yessss it's finally back, been waiting all summer for this. First episode was great, love the new OP. |
| wow gay |
| And so it begins...... The....psychological beginning. ;_; God, this anime....this second season! D: Why didn't they explain what happened to Tama~! D: Where did that cutie go! D: Why'd she get replaces with Iona! D: GRR! All these questions.....hopefully will get answered in this season.... Hopefully......hopefully..... Hopefully..... Meep. |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |
| BTW, did the animation look a lot better to anyone else? I thought it was a big step up, not that the first season was bad. |
| This is a great start up episode, although most of the scenes are just flashbacks from the previous season, though it is mostly a build up episode. Chiyori is a refreshing character in this episode, and I like how she gets more screen time in here, and her violent cute demeanor for a battle. Iona just wants to see Ruko in battle again, and she is determined to make it happen. As for the op and ed, I like it more better than the 1st season tbh. |
llcruz said: The same atmosphere as the first season is back... I like it. The OP is better than the first season in my opinion. The ED is OK. |
| Dunno if I liked the OP better than the first season. I'll have to let it grow on me before knowing for certain, I suppose. Decent recap episode. Seems we'll have to wait till the next episode at minimum to get the ball rolling for real, though. |
 |
| a good start in the second season, though with some recap and melodrama. the next few episodes will be the real deal i guess.. i'm ready for some more battoru! |
 |
| Dunno what pple see in this show, it's mediocre at best. |
| It's time for BATTORU!!~ It's back bitches, been waiting for this :3 Also I'm starting to really like Chiyori I have to say ^^ |
  |
| This was a fantastic first episode! It goes over what happened in the last episode in a way that serves as exposition but not in an awkward way like a lot of shows like to do. Despite the fact that Ruko is supposed to be the generic main character of this series. She's a surprisingly deep character. She wants to battle to save all of the LRIG's, and she hates herself for enjoying battling. She tries to fight against it because she doesn't want anyone else to suffer, and by beating them she comes one step closer to destroying their wishes. Then you throw in Iona who is trying to tempt Ruko... It's kind of like a girl who derives pleasure and feels guilty about it. Someone is always trying to tempt her to do what she wants to do, but she has to deal with the implications of her actions, and that is fascinating to behold... Definitely looking forward to more this season! |
| Great episode, The perfect drama anime IS BACK! *w* I'm curious to know what happenned to tama. ^^ |
| Love the opening Can't wait to see more |
 |
| wasn't paying attention to the air date and this got subbed today/yesterday, fuck. watched it, came here and there's already a ton of posts, :( . I'm don't consider myself good judge, but I'll just put some thoughts here OP was meh, contemplating whether to go back to watch to have it fresh in mind before I say anything about it. That Chiyori was annoying, talked too much for my tastes, the voice of her LRIG is annoying. I don't like Iona's LRIG dress; the dress she wore before turning into a LRIG was the sexiest; MUCH RATHER HAVE THAT than Ulith's LRIG dress which is MUCH MORE suited to her. Probably will be mediocre/okay at best, but I'm interested and (~a bit) excited to see what will happen and how the conflict gets resolved. We'll probably see a lot of the usual Okada cringe lines here and there, but I'm a bit hopeful that a least some good will be salvageable. I liked this episode/it was ok. 3.5/5 |
| I don't consider myself a good judge. trying not to be an obnoxious otaku |
| This was a really solid start to the new entry. It was a bit strange how it was able to blend the psychological mood and comedy so well, having me laughing one moment and shivering the next. That was so hilariously cute when Ruko was looking at clothes and blushed at the revealing outfit. Chiyori is amusing as well. I like how they blended in some flashback with exploring the psychological state of the characters so it didn't feel like wasted screen time. My only regret is that I had to pick this up at the start of the season, 7 days will feel so long this season! |
 |
| Finally more Battoru! I love the OP, both the song and the animation. |
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!" |
| Lol, Iona is the new LRIG ._. Where the hell is the kawaii Tama!? :c |
| A solid opening for, dare I say, one of the most anticipated shows of the season. Save for the stupid recaps, I think they've got everything else spot on. I quite disappointed though by the fact that Hitoe has actually overcome the "irreversible" tainted wish. Perhaps the effect of the the wishes fluctuate? In any case, without Iona in this episode I doubt it could have had the same impact. 6 days left till EP2... I forgot how horrible the wait was X-( |

| it's back huh? |
 |
| Depressing as always. I really wanna see where this goes. |
| This will definitely be a bright and happy season. Nice first episode, picking up right where the last left off. Maybe it will get more dark. |
 |
| Yayy, let's start! Things are looking even more interesting; I especially would love to see Ruko and Iona in battle. FIND TAMA PLEASE <3 |
| Awesome! Picked up right after the ending of season 1. Chiyori and her LRIG are so goddamn cute. She's just that foil character that contrasts with the whole atmosphere and brings the mood up when she appears. |
 |
| Will Iona's sexual innuendo's ever stop?............Hopefully Not. |
| We need as much lewdness as we can possibly get. ~ Komine Sachi |
| Solid start and I am looking forward to seeing Iona's plan to make Ruuko battle again. |
| And we see Tama again I hope this doesn't go the time travel route, altough it's either that or memory loss (LRIG switch or wish fail). |
Zee530 said: The series has been mindfucking me since episode 8My most anticipated of the season by far. Still no Tama and it looks like the season will consist of mostly Iona mindfucking Ruko, such glorious bliss. |
 |
| I for one was slightly disappointed in this first episode. The first season ended on such a bang, only to be followed by this super slow paced episode. I understand they need to set some framework. I just really hope it picks back up, I really loved the first season. |
| I miss Tama. ;_; Good start. Grandma for final villain LET'S GO! |
| Anyone else excited that Akira is in the next episode? Aki-lucky~★ |
| The rush they get from these WIXOSS battles must feel like a crack high based on the way Iona talks about it. Ruko almost seems like she's going through withdrawals. Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| [size=60]obligatory[/size] BATTORU!~ Wasn't expecting much from the first episode but think I got a little more excited than I was anticipating -- at least more so than LH2's first episode made me. Still nowhere near FS/N though. |
 |
| Iona I still hate you !!!!!! Akira back for vengeance : 0 |
| Aki-lucky next episode? The hype is real |
| The fate of destruction is also the joy of rebirth |
| Already off to a good start. Aki-lucky popping up next time will make it even better.

That's... a pretty apt comparison. |
