| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The match was better than I had thought this time. Go TAMAAAAAAAAAA Seems like both participants are having fun too. I think Iona was impressed there. Not too shabby for a kid fighting someone her caliber I guess. Akira being her creepy self as usual near the end there. |
 |
| 1. Dialogue between ruko & iona is very intense; Battle music in this ep was quite fitting 2. It was so dark that I had to brighten my screen to the max to see akira's face. She still remembers WIXOSS… 3. wonder what the tainted wish of akira looks like now 4. This ep got me shaking w/ excitement. Too bad yugioh wasn't ever like this. 9/10 |

| Again, this show gives me the creeps but its freaking interesting at the same time. I can't describe the feeling it gives me better than that but it keeps me coming back for more. I really want to see the next episode. |

| Now that was one heck of an intense match between Iona and Ruka. By far Ruko's best match thus far. Akira looked mentally destroyed. I think I know what the negative aspect of her wish was. If I'm not mistaken Akira's wish had something to do with Iona but since she lost 3 times Akira ends up mentally destroyed rather than Iona's. And it looks like Akira cut herself on the cheek. So if Ruko wishes to never battle again does that mean if she loses 3 times then she'll have to battle forever? Guessing by Tama's final attack vs Iona's card it looks to me like Tama would have won the battle. Preview next episode: Not looking good for Yuzuki. |
 |
| Still can't get over the annoying voices, so many. I found it interesting that Iona just let's her LRIG talk the whole time, though it's very like her since she seems to be the quite type. I wonder what she means by, "found you." Was she waiting for someone who enjoyed battling as much as she does, or someone who is as good as she is, someone who is exciting to battle against? I wonder what Ruuko's wish that she herself don't know is, and I wonder how the heck Iona and her LRIG knows. So...Akira has lost three times, yet somehow she still contains her memories of being a Selector...? So many questions. I'm interested in seeing why she wanted both Yuzuki and Ruuko to meet up with her, and what's up with her cheek. |
| Akira is basically out of her mind now. Ruko really loves to battle, but doesn't want to admit it to herself. Can't wait for the next episode. |
 |
| I love how they're trying to make an horror-ish atmosphere (camera shots, lightning, soundtrack), even if it doesn't suit the dramas in the show. meh Ruko is such a bland MC. At least the ending and the preview for the next ep made me curious :'D |
| When Ruuko begin her battle against Iona she was so exciting to battle that she even forgot what she was doing. The match last long and it was concluded neither win or lost. I still don't know were the plot will go. When I hear Akira say Aki-lucky she was so damn creepy. |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| So Akira's face got ruined, tho it wasn't very surprising considering her wish. The question is why did she call the girls to that place and what does she want with them. Then there was the fight with Iona seems to me that the thing Iona was looking for was a worthy opponent something she found in Ruko. Meaning that chances are she will challenge Ruko again at some point. |
| Ruuko and Iona's battle. Ruuko and Tama both having a lot of fun, but ended up forgetting about Yuzuki, Hitoe and Akira.. Yuzuki kicks someone else's ass. Oh wow, Akira's face ruined. Now what does she want with them... |
 |
| Iona looked as though she was gonna climax towards the end of that battle, lol. And it looks as though Akira's finally lost her marbles, I wonder what's with that mark, didn't look like an ordinary wound. |
| Looks like Ruuko and Iona's wish are the same; to keep on battling. Ruuko vs. Iona was awesome! Tama's last attack might have destroyed Iona's LRIG if the match wasn't interrupted. Iona's saying "I found you" probably means that she has found Ruuko to be an excellent adversary on equal footing with her. Akira was quite creepy at the end.. Considering that she lost 3 matches already, why something horrible hasn't happened to her yet?! -.- Next episode: "The Fake Vow." |
 |
| Just caught up with the series. I can't say im fond of the card game( can't understand a thing of how it's played), but anyway the plot with win=wish comes true and losex3=the reverse wish is intriguing,not so much because those girls have any actual worthy wishes( like world domination,immortality,time control or generally stuff that are by no means achievable) rather than the fact that the anti-wish can shatter their lives. Enjoying the fights and having fun while not giving a crap about any kind of concequences is the most honest reason to fight so far. I would rate it between a 6.5 and a 7/10. The pace is good so far, the fights are relatively short-which is good- but i think it lacks some more groundbreaking wishes and well,some nut Selectors. I don't have any crazy expectations but i would like some darkness imbued behind the LRIGs' existence and purpose( something that can remind me of Kyuubey and the exploitation of human wishes). Looking forward to see what's up with Akira. Tama and Urisu are damn creepy and i love it. |

| Everybody has the right to have his own opinion on something.And you do have the right to disagree with them.But that doesnt give you the right to impose your opinion on others, even though you do have the right to think you are fucking awesome. |
| The ending with Akira was creepy (way better than her previous annoying persona though). So Yuzuki is going to lose next episode? |
| So Aki-lucky somehow remembers Wixoss despite losing three times? Interesting. This show is very good at leaving us with a cliffhanger. Really looking forward to how she remembers Wixoss and what happened to her face. Glad shes still in the show though, I love her. The match between Iona and Ru-ru was good. They both share a passion for fighting but Iona embraces it while Ru-ru feels guilty for it. Yuzuki feels guilty for fighting as well but is continuing with it regardless. Good episode and as always, excited for next week already. |
| Creepiest Aki-lucky yet. I'd assume her face is scarred so that she can't use her modeling career to cause any disturbances to Iona's life. I'd have expected something more serious though, considering Hitoe's hard fall, but I guess it matches her superficial personality and wish. Biggest question is why she still has her selector memories. |
 |
| Ruuko VS Iona was cool! Enjoyed the battle, maybe because of that background music :) And what's up with Akira? She lost three times already, but she still remembers everything. |
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!" |
| As more and more episodes come out, I keep thinking that Ruko will probably put out a Madoka or maybe even a Day Break Illusion. |
 |
| I'm guessing Ruko vs Iona ended in a draw. I wonder why Aki still has her Selector memories? |
| Pretty good episode. The battle between Ruuko and Iona was was very enjoyable. The soundtrack was amazing during the battle also. Kinda wonder what Ruuko wish really is. Is it to battle forever? I guess we will find out when we find out Iona's wish is. WTF is up with Akira. I thought she was suppose to forget being a Selector. And what's up with that scar? Really excited for next episode. |
 |
| Ruuko's 'annoyingness ' was ok at first, but now its just plain annoying... |
 don't worry, i know IMG tags are turned off...i'm just lazy to change my sig... xD |
| This was probably the best episode so far for me. I like how dark this is, and I was actually genuinely interested for the first time. This anime is similar to Black Rock Shooter in every way I can think of... but it isn't as dreadful since the characters actually have a reason to be overdramatic. |
| A better episode only because of the battle. Still don't know whats so dark about this. We finally get more focus with them, but the first moments with the soundtrack playing was kinda annoying. Enjoyed the battle overall since they finally give it more screen time. Still not caring for any character. Except Akira, but only a little becus of her first "Aki-lucky" that didn't sound annoying, kind of cool, and that red scar thing. |
 |
| This is actually a pretty good episode, the card battle scene was somewhat amusing. TBH I thought Akira took down Hitoe last wish, until it was revealed by Iona. I think I can describe Iona, Uris, Ruko, and Tama, as bloodthirsty girls who like to battle a lot during a match. Though still Ruko is indecisive if she wants to keep going or not. Iona: I found you... Ruko: *gasp* Me: Yuri alert! Yuri alert! Oh damn Akira has a new look, this is not looking good. |
SrachcII said: Ruuko is the least heroic main in a situation that would makes sense for her to be heroic. She doesn't want to wish to help her friends(or all affected by losing three times) because her guilty pleasure of battle is too strong. Though she didn't make a wish, while battling Iona she pretty much told her what Ruuko herself was thinking. As a side note when Akira came out from the shadows I was doing a Jim Ross impression "Baw Gawd, thats gotta be a demon from hell." Alright episode as a whole. why don't you just pay attention to the plot and realize they already stated that a corrupted wish in this battle cannot be changed by a wish? Ruuko doesn't want to battle because she DOESN'T want to make any1's wishes turn on them. she is fighting her urges |

| With a mask on or not, Akira's face was creepy and a little uncomfortable. Tama can keep on battling forever. Iona said that Ruko is the one she's looking for. I wonder what she meant. |
| Good episode, creepy ending. Too bad the battle was cut short. |
 |
| I'm not sure of how they worded it when they explained that Hitoe had lost her memories, but it could be that she only lost them so that she couldn't remember her friends. Akira's reverse wish (assuming it brings her life/career to ruin) wouldn't require her to lose any memories. That is, IF Akira really remembers about the Selectors' battles (we could be misinterpreting). a_cloud said: [...] the plot with win=wish comes true and losex3=the reverse wish is intriguing,not so much because those girls have any actual worthy wishes( like world domination,immortality,time control or generally stuff that are by no means achievable) rather than the fact that the anti-wish can shatter their lives. Enjoying the fights and having fun while not giving a crap about any kind of concequences is the most honest reason to fight so far. [...] That's easier when you can choose and say your wish, like in PMMM, or when using a jeannie's lamp. From what the show tells us, though, they get what they wish deep down. There's no "choice", so to speak. Yuzuki loves her brother, so her wish is that they can love each other. Akira hates Iona's success, and from what we see, she dedicated everything to bring her career down. Ruuko loves WIXOSS battles, despite not wanting to. So that's her wish, whether she likes it or not. Not many real people have a true wish as grandiose as ruling the universe, immortality, or world peace. Real people usually have mundane wishes like being together with somebody, having a successful life, or seeing a dead relative again, and this show wants its characters to feel real (as the director Takuya Sato explained in the translated interview konatachan80 linked last page: http://heart.okwave.com/campaign/selector-wixoss). At least that's how I understand it. |
 |
| Ruko pissed me this time. Sorry folks, its like she knew now the consequences of losing 3 times, got a friend that forgot her and Yuzuki, makes Akira suffered in her third loss (that girl deserve it) yet she enjoyed battling Iona and Urisu. Tch. Anyways, freaking good episode with Tama and again, it goes more darker. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| lol ruuko is a battoru addict how does akira remember the selectors though? and i kind of thought her tainted wish would be more than just a scar in her face. |
 |
| Holy crap Akira! What happened to her? Ruko looked cute this episode maybe it was just her outfit. Another cliffhanger. Next episode looks interesting though. |

| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| If you change the word battle to fuck, you get some pretty hilarious dialog. |
limeliar said: Akria's tainted wish is probably that: 1) she can never win against Iona 2) she can never forget her losses ( which means, she can remember the selector battles) 3) the scar is a mark to intensify 2) but 2) doesn't really have to do with akira's wish, does it? ahh well i guess they will explain it in the next episode |
|
Kayro said: If you change the word battle to fuck, you get some pretty hilarious dialog. :D Solid Ruko this episode, but she didn't put enough point in Box ability, thus she sucks at infiltrating. Uris is even more annoying than Aki-lucky, they could at least give her a deeper voice. Or just let Iona talk more. After watching opening for the seventh time, I kinda think that LRIG can become real (as in "living in their masters' world") and that's why they don't say the truth. Wonder if I'm right. Yeah, next week Yuzuki's conclusion. Probably loses to Iona, as she and Uris seem to enjoy "leveling the field". Yuzuki, believe in the Heart Of The Cards. |

| oOoOo! next episode is juicy! I can't wait. this episode! wow |
| Creepy Akira is best Akira. I like her. Ruuko is still annoying as usual. I'm glad they went with the focus on the story instead of the card game itself and basically fast forward through the battles. It is fun to see Tama battle though. I am also curious on how Akira still retained her memory. I'm glad she did so she can continue on being a character. |
 |
| Aki-lucky became Aki-creepy. This show might not be particularly good but sure knows how to keep you interested. |
