Selected infected the anime that takes the fun card game genre, then breaks it down and gives it a fun outer appearance with dark insides.

Story: 9
The story is the best part of this anime as it takes a popular genre in this it is card games and deconstructs it while giving it a dark theme similar to Madoka Magica. The story is primarily about the main character Ruuko being chosen to become Selector in the card game WIXOSS, to which the story focuses on her darker inner self enjoying the battles for fun rather than wanting to become a eternal girl which creates a dark setting that is enjoyable and interesting. But the story is slow at the start and is hard to get into until you reach episode 4 or 5 which can cause you to drop the anime.

Art: 7
The art in the anime is nothing special and is comparable to K-On as they have the same style, but the card battles are good and nice to look at.

Sound: 7
The sound okay it is neither awesome nor crap; it fits the show well especially the opening and ending that have a dark and depressing feeling to them but I didn't really find them nice to listen to and were skipped every time after the first ep and were not worth downloading.

Characters: 8
The characters of WIXOSS have varying personalities that include nice and sweet to depressing to downright insane which seems unbelievable to there cute appearances in both the Selectors and LRIGs. There were no archetypes in this anime like Tsundere or anything like that as they felt quite original to me which also brings up the character development some go through a lot character development like Ruuko and Yuzugi which refreshes the show more while some don't like Akira and Kazuki who rarely appear despite being listed as Main.

Enjoyment: 9
I enjoyed it but it was a slow start.
