There is a new popular card game out called Wixoss (pronounced We-cross). For a special set of girls called selectors by those in the know there is even more to it as they can play a secret version of the game that will allow them to have their wishes be granted. Ruko is a somewhat reserved girl who receives the game from her grandmother and finds out that she is a selector.
Selector Infext Wixross is a dark magical girl show with a collectable card game tie in. There are going to be two seasons of this show but this review covers only the first season.The card game aspect of the game isn't played out in detail so those that get bored of YugiOh styled won't get similarly annoyed by this show.The other draw of the show is the drama of the main characters and the web of tragedy that envelops them as they play the titular card game.
Being the type of show it is the comparisons between it and Madoka Magica are a bit hard to avoid. While this show doesn't measure up entirely (few shows ever would) this is not to say that this show is without merit. There are a couple of flat characters and the story starts out a bit flat but the core story does ramp up to something more interesting if you have the patience for it.
Overall I found Selector Infected Wixross to be a show with a couple of fairly compelling characters and make it a far more watchable show than It may first appear.
Rating the BronzeKyubey (Madoka Magica) for being the sort of crazy dark show that is more than it appears at first
