WIXOSS was an anime I remember hearing a lot about when it aired in 2014. What I heard was not positive in the slightest, with comments often going as far as to ridicule its scriptwriter Mari Okada who – particularly at the time – had become known creating scripts for series that wore their hearts on their sleeves for better or worse. In the case of WIXOSS, it seemed to fall into the latter category. WIXOSS was jokingly called an unintentionally edgy and grimdark comedy with exaggerated and unrealistic emotional outbursts where not much made narrative sense, which culminated in card battles that did not appear to follow any rules in the slightest. For two anime adaptations, Selector Infected WIXOSS and Selector Spread WIXOSS, meant to promote a card game and later multimedia franchise, it was definitely not what I would have expected to become the face of it.
