| Wait is Tama Ruuko's Grandma? XD nahhhh. That was a pretty impressive finale, left me excited for the second season. Iona is now Ruuko's LRIG, this should be fun! Unfortunately the show wasn't dark as I was expecting, nobody died :( 7/10 |
| Now I must say, I was NOT expecting that ending. This series was a little gem indeed! |

| Easily best original/non sequel of the season. I REALLY hope they don't fuck it up with S2. |
UsaraDark said: Probably whatever. Iona's wish is granted by turning into an Lrig.If Iona's wish was to become Ruu's LRIG, then what did Urisu have to do in order to make that wish come true? What will Urisu do in Iona's body? In that case, Ulith has finished her side of the bargain and she's free to do whatever she wanted. Ahh... Hitoe's original LRIG, I always wonder, is it a he or a she? Because if it's a he then... that means boys can play the game... but they's no Selectors that are boys... Midoriko should be a girl.The original playing card titled her with warrior princess or jungle empress theme, to name some. junpants said: Imagine, Grandma meeting with Akilucky.2. If not 1, could become a selector with Tama cause they both want to stay with Ru, conflict conflicts everywhere! Can't wait for next season. :D Grandma: How about a battle ? Akira: Aren't you too old for this ? *two minutes later* Akira: Despair, there's nothing but despair in this world… <== utterly defeated |
| Thats a nice cliffhanger for season 2. Always was a fan of this series since episode 1 and im glad i was. This show didnt take the boring card game anime route but went with more psychological and less focus on card battle. That really surprised me cause i was expecting more focus on the card battle since it is based on a card game, but i sure am glad they focused more on the psychological aspect. Picked up this show because of Kanon Wakeshima singing the OP and sure am glad i did. Cant wait for Selector Spread. 9/10 |
| TAMA!! Q_Q |
| I really hope there is more to Ruuko's grandmother, because the show is sure making it seem that way. |
 |
| Pretty much marathoned this in 2 days. Wasn't expecting this to be so good! I'm ready for season 2!! |

konatachan80 said: Summer is low season (quite logical I guess), so I guess part of the reason for split cour was to avoid it. Did Ru really lose? I don't think so, otherwise she couldn't even temporarily transform. However, Tama's denial caused her to revert, and Tama to disappear...somewhere. It was said in ep 12 that Iona had enough battles and such long ago (iow, she didn't need to win against Ru), and just waited for a certain condition to be met..which happened just after Ru was denied. That leads me to believe that the condition might have something to do with the state of her lrig or something similar to that. Yes, it's means Ru still have 0 lose. It looks like the "final condition" and "win condition" is separate things. So that's why Aki-Lucky can't get her wish even though he probably gain enough wins. |
| This ending was disappointing but opens up a lot of possibilities for next season. So this should not be seen as the ending but simply as the continuation of the second season. My guess is that Iona wanted to be the LIRG of Ruko to continue battling, the thing she needed was for Tama to deny the wish. My guess is that the girl in the white room knew something like this was going to happen and therefore obstructed the wish. |

My guess is that the girl in the white room knew something like this was going to happen and therefore obstructed the wish. huh i nver thought about it that way i think you might be right that woud exsplain her becoming ruko's lirg thanks for that enlightenment :P. now for my opinon of this ending: this finnal was good when i saw it i couldnt help my slf but say tama why for a bit i fell in love with these characters and seeing what happened in this finnal hurt me i also couldent stop saying dam you righters why you always have to have something like this happen! i also cant wait for the next season its gotten me rouled up to just se what happens and if its loss then i will admit this i will weap till i cant weap no more. also i belive they were hinting to this ending in the intro abit if you guys remember tama shows up runing to ruko. but when ruko turns around tama is gone. you can peice that togeather how you must but i will say thats was forshadowing this event. (this has to be the most i haev ever typed on a forum discusion :P for i didint piss no one off) |

| I am speculating that IOna's wish was to have everyone become selector and she becomes the LRIG of the Selector who wants to battle. So every girl next season will be a Selector |
 |
| Unexpected end. I just don't get Iona's wish, what's the point of it? Anyway, I enjoyed Selector infected, and can't wait for the next season! |

| This is one of those underrated anime that take you off completely by surprise of how good it later turns out to be. I was quite skeptical about this show when I started watching it, as in having a mindset of "Oh, it's a card game, and cute girls doing cute things." I also had trouble realizing whether this show was trying or being overly-dramatic for suspension or it didn't seem as dark as it had started out. The turning point of this series was that plot twist revelation, in which Yuzuki became a LRIG to Hitoe. Through battling and conflicting opinions and feelings about the true nature of the game - WIXOSS, and within oneself, it started unraveling clues and hints that started connecting each other that became the true premise of this show, and how the characters are portrayed and their significant roles. The important themes of Love, Friendship, Betrayal, etc. became important and necessary factors, in which I thoroughly enjoyed. Hoping the second season will be just as good or better - 8/10 |

| well im glad my high hopes for this show weren't completely wrong. I felt like dropping it at episode five after seeing that nothing was really happening. In the first couple of episodes i just didn't feel their being a reason for the characters emotions, like their was no risk or reason for everything to be trying to act dark.The characters having some dumb wishes didn't help either( Hitoe in particular) , but i'm glad it got good interesting in the latter half. Hopefully it continues on like this. 7/10 will watch for more BATTORRUUU. best part of the show imo. |

Iasuru said: I am speculating that IOna's wish was to have everyone become selector and she becomes the LRIG of the Selector who wants to battle. So every girl next season will be a Selector I'm speculating, and pretty sure of it, that it was Iona's wish to become the LRIG of a selector she sees as the best person. The conditions weren't met because she hadn't found 'the one' untill she found Ruko. She wished to be Ruko's LRIG and that's why Tama disappeared; Tama most likely will end up in the hands of Ulith, who will probably cause what Ruko dreamed of in episode 1, using Tama. This makes most sense to me. Anyway, I finished the anime yesterday and found it pretty good, but not as good as I thought and hoped it would have been. I know it's not like my favourite anime: Madoka Magica- -I definitely don't want to compare the anime to each other- -but it seems like it is trying to be. Two major plotholes kind of ruined it for me, though not by a big margine since I just accepted them as they didn't influence the story itself that much and atleast gave a direction to the plot. I'll put them in the spoiler: I imagine there will be a third season too. Infected, Spread, Pandemic? |

| I liked the series so far, though I wish the combat system had a little more depth so I could actually follow along... |
| How do people get to 2000 hours when I'm already this bored? |
| This show just doesnt give a shit about your feels... 10/10 |
   |
| ending left a sour taste in my mouth >.> should have just made a longer season 1 >.> !!!!!!!!!!!!!! now i have to w8 PISSED haha was pretty good though |
 |
| Just throwing it out there, but what if Tama was actually Ruuko's grandmother and the person who she thinks is her grandmother is actually the grandmother's LRIG. Food for thought. Also, great episode and a great series so far. Waiting on selector spread to see if the story can live up to its full potential. |

| First season was pretty good. Some momments really touched me but sadly I dident shred any tears :(. Ending was a little confusing and honestly not really looking forward to wait for a second season. Overall I think the first season gets 7-8/10. They should have really just released all the episodes in 1 season. |
 |
| Honestly the writing for this first cour was absolutely horrible for a show that looks like it was supposed to be at least noteworthy judging by the obvious art budget it had. We barely get to see the game played and instead see these girls and their dramas but all of their dramas are either incredibly trite or never really explained. The characters barely develop at all over the course of the series and we never really understand them or what they are about beyond just the one issue they deal with. Here's what I've been able to get out of the entire cast so far in these 12 episodes: Ruko: Nice girl Yuzuki: Hot blooded, wants to bang her brother, gets screwed over by her LRIG Hitoe: Lonely girl, loses her memories and then regains them Akira: Vindictive and crazy, hates Iona Iona: ????? All the designs look nice and the art work and directing is decent but there's absolutely nothing behind it all, it just gets nothing right really and just ends up become a strange un-quantifiable mess that's honestly kind of hard to rate let alone describe. I have honestly no idea what this show is even really about so I'll just end it here. |
| @Kaioshin_Sama With all the drama and the character design and behaviour one is supposed to sympathize with them and would like to know what will happen to them. Then we have the basis of a "fulfill a wish" plot with a lot themes and clues hinted, as well as some "Faustian gambit" elements of course. So it becomes kind of like mystery: with all these things in play, what will happen to the characters. Enter speculations and discussions, marketing plant successful! But as it goes on, the mystery has to be unraveled and resolved, so it can't keep that forever, but it wants to and has all the more reason to as a split cour. From where you're coming from this was essentially made to drive speculations and discussions in as publicity and indirect marketing. Now we'll be getting a manga with a side story this summer, but I don't think it will matter to the overall story and the main plot that much. Essentially you come for the cute girls, get hooked by the drama(Mari Okada's melodrama that is), and stay for the speculation discussions. Even I got into it, but afterwards it became clear that this is just nonsense trying to be ambiguous in order to drive speculations(and doujins). It has accomplished its goal, but as an independant work on its own, it's not really much outside being a melodrama with minimal character exploration and depth. |

| Didn't like the ending. It leaves you way too hung up..... Other than that it seems that the grandmother was a selector since she could't see the lights. |
 |
| There are so many loose ends the paves way to the Second season. Great writing I love this series, dark and gritty. Makes me speculate that Iona's real body is actually Ru. |
| I originally dropped this at episode one and out of curiosity I decided to watch the whole thing... and wow I feel extremely dumb for having done so. It felt like I was watching Madoka for the first time again, and I loved every bit I watched. That twist though! Iona becoming Ruko's LRIG was extremely unexpected. She can deny her wishes so they can battle and battle and battle forever, unless something is done about it. Though I can't say I won't enjoy Iona x Ruko (as a team); judging their first battle and how much they enjoyed it, I can see them becoming close if Iona doesn't try to mind fuck Ruko in the process. Can't wait for season 2. |
| OP with sound effects was pretty cool. Now as for Iona's supposed wish of wanting to be Ruko's LRIG, I bet she has some ulterior motive for that. Anyway, this was a surprisingly great anime to watch. I loss interest midway through the show, but I reluctantly continued and hit the peak of this show. I'm glad I didn't drop it. |
| I felt like I got trolled for some reason 8/10 It was a really fun ride! Too bad the battles were not as exciting as I thought they would be. |
| The in-game parts still don't make any sense |

| Does anyone know what was Iona`s wich? |
 |
3pilif said: Does anyone know what was Iona`s wich? It still speculation. Most likely she want battle forever or become the RLIG of a girl like Ruuko who only wish to battle too. |
