wixoss liveblog thread bc this series is fucking insane and i love it

ruko being like WAIT HITOE'S A SELECTOR AGAIN??? girl i feel you that's what i said too like how many times does this girl have to suffer. also midoriko looking down from wixoss heaven and being like Uh

like I DIED ... FOR THIS???

also like i remember rukokami being a thing like madokami where ruko wishes that the selector cycle would end BUT i dont remember if that was canon or just a really fun headcanon. i think it's the latter but i remember really awesome shit happens in canon so >:)

also like just in general i love ruko bc like she's an anti-hero which rules a lot. like she's the plucky genki girl but then you realize she has an addiction to battling and hurting other people which is like. idk it's really interesting for a heroine bc she's STILL SO GOOD but-

-like she's a very good person BUT LIKE when wixoss is involved. she just. goes ham. like she has the personality of madoka where she doesn't want anyone to get hurt but then she has like an addiction when she gets into wixoss and. it's soooo fascinating

like she's a deep character she actually has layers and depth like a real person and it's. it's good

i bought uhhhh dark desire i think (back in like 2013-2014) and like why was i trying to be so edgy. it's probably such a shitty deck but i wanted to be Cool and Different. the cards are neat i just like wanted to have urith's deck bc she fascinated me

silas you are not too good for red ambition or white hope or any of the others

love how ruko gets stress headaches from using google

"you could be the only one trapped in a card!" how is that bad

i mean like I Know but like. ruko's thoughts are "i want every LRIG to be released from their card" so like for just one to be stuck i feel like thats the optimal solution

lesbian convention

i love that we get that lingering shot of iona's card on the desk, facedown, before ruko grabs it like. you were bad and evil so now you dont get to look at the outside world

but then because she's ruko she takes her anyway but like keeps her in her bag. like make no mistake i'm taking you out but i'm still mad at you and you have to go in the card wiggler to atone for your crimes

yuzuki's aggressive "you can't eat ice cream it's WINTER" is fucking sending me. i love her

also like you're telling me ruko hasn't had a cellphone this entire time ... smh girl what happens when you inevitably get in trouble bc of this selector business ... what are you gonna send, a fuckin. carrier pigeon

god iona is such a fucking creep i hate this bitch

ok so like i get the backstory and all but they neglect to mention hOW SHIRO AND KURO BECAME REAL IN THE FIRST PLACE

like. mayu just imagined them so hard that they became existing beings ?? or

also if mayu was locked in that room all her life HOW'D SHE LEARN HOW TO FUCKIN READ

so many plot holes it's like a damn graveyard in here

chiyori's reaction is completely understandable for someone who just woke up in an abandoned construction site with two girls she doesn't know who suddenly ask her to be friends with them 4 seconds after she regains consciousness. like girl i'd run too

YOU'RE iona urazoe, YOU'RE iona urazoe, SHE'S iona urazoe ... ARE THERE ANY OTHER IONA URAZOES I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT

im laughing so hard i forgot ruuko just. picks yuki up. and runs away with her. not even yuki was expecting it she's just like HUH ... WHAT

like she just. picks her up. and runs away

god even mayu is like well. gotta be honest. did not see that one coming

can you imagine if you did this in any other sport or game like imagine you're playing footbaw and you catch the ol pigskin and then you just. run away. out of the stadium. down the street. across state lines. what are they going to do to you

god i forgot how fucking choice lv5mayu's design is. also i spell it like that bc with wixoss the system is set up in such a way where you have 3683534854935 characters with the same name hence my comment about iona earlier

oh fuck i just realized something. someone brought the wixoss game to mayu. so like someone CREATED wixoss. that wasn't mayu

can you imagine being the underpaid & overworked game designer that designs a Fun & Cool card game and then a vengeful ghost hijacks it and uses it to make girls battle each other for their wishes and if they get their wish then they're trapped forever. like can you even imagine

like do you think they know. did anyone tell them. and if they did tell them how do you think they're dealing with it right now because let me tell you i would NOT be thrilled

loving how ruuko and hitoe and yuzuki still play wixoss after Everything like if i went through all the shit they did you could not get me within 500 feet of that game ever again for love or money

lostorage incited wixoss be like this anime will be happy. look at all the sakura blossoms and the plucky main heroine. she just moved back to her hometown and she's got Big Dreams. well you know what i say to that, wixoss. fuck you you're not fooling me again

i actually did not know the lostorage series existed so like i'm extremely happy to experience new wixoss content. but i feel like wixoss is going to be a thing again and after All That it's like. really

if i was ruuko and that shit happened AGAIN i'd go straight to the company making the wixoss cards and burn it down lbr

ah i see instead of the LRIGs pretending like everything is going to be Just Fine and saying they'll grant their selectors' wishes and then pulling the rug out from under them they're just starting out completely rugless

LRIGs in lostorage are like this is your life now and it sucks. get used to it

oh the wixoss battlefield fucks supremely now. i love how you can see the old turn-deciding wheel in like. ruins. but still working. that is very cool

oh my god she's precious

wixoss i came here for an escape from reality not a biography of my fuckin life

damn they really freed piriluk from being an LRIG just to put her right the fuck back into wixoss battles. like at least she doesn't look too peeved about it but man that is one shitty turn of events

thought maybe the wixoss system would have changed between the series but nope looks like once again we're doing the "LRIGs switch places with their selectors" stuff. which is fine bc like That's the Appeal but like damn. ruuko really didnt do anything, huh

it's like if madoka made her sacrifice and then in the new world she created magical girls still turned into witches but like this time the labyrinths looked different and the girls' magic was based on like how much they ate that day or something

duolingo owl spotted in japan

OH NO HES HOT

unhinged AND pretty AND gay this isnt fair

"i don't like girls who can't pick up a clue" the clue is that he's gay he is referring to the fact that women consistently fall for him despite the fact he wears fitted mens' suits exclusively

he's not a selector so he wont turn into an LRIG but i hope he does at some point like i think he would be really interesting to see as an LRIG. like a male ulith except not just "i like causing pain to everyone and everything" but like with an actual personality

WAIT A MINUTE ... IS CHINATSU ... IS ... MERU ... UHHHH

wait no i dont think so. god this is so confusing

almost two months later and we're back bitches. anyway rio's wish is so depressing. hearing that wish from a little girl is like. poor sweetheart

damn. chinatsu really said fuck it all, i'm going to recruit people for this deathmatch arena. not even little girls are off limits. i mean satomi assigned her to recruit rio but GOD. she went ahead and did it.

for a game that cancels when a third party approaches. you'd think selectors wouldn't battle in construction sites and in parks and shit. like. statistically those are extremely bad places to be battling, if you don't want it to be canceled,

WAIT ok so like. is it still. the old system. like ok we know that even in lostorage the LRIGs replace the selectors. but like it got kind of confusing where the selectors go? BUT now im remembering in the beginning when they first become selectors and they have that--

--blank LRIG they meet who becomes whatever the Selector treasures or whatever. so like. the Selectors become the blank LRIGs and that's what they mean by 'disappear', right? because all their memories disappear and they legit become a blank slate fighting for others

THINK WE CRACKED THIS THING WIDE OPEN FOLKS i like that tho that's fucked up on a new level. the same amount as the old system but like in a different way

also it gives them a way to weasel out of having the new male Selectors be LRIGs and stay male. tho that does mean that all male Selectors who lose all their coins and become LRIGs are turned into trans women. this is the trans agenda

WAIT. DOES SATOMI HAVE AN LRIG? WHO WAS HE TALKING TO. DOES HE HAVE AN LRIG AND IF SO HOW THE FUCK DOES HE KEEP HIS MEMORIES

this motherfucker has a Big Damn Secret and im all about it

"memories ... are they really that great?" if the selectors really are turned into those blank slate LRIGs this line is gonna hit so fuckin hard

NOOO DONT DRAG PIRULUK BACK INTO THIS SHE HASNT DONE ANYTHING TO DESERVE THIS SHE WAS FINALLY FREE

oh FUCK. oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck

wait. kiyoi named her LRIG piruluk. does that mean. does it mean she remembers. that she was in this shitty game before. is she silently screaming HOLY FUCK WHERE THE FUCK IS RUUKO TO COME FIX THIS MESS /AGAIN/

i really. REALLY hope satomi isn't actually ulith. because that feels like it would be such a cop-out. but like. they're so similar

GODDAMN that was dark

PIRILUK ... UNLEASHED. god i love her she says what we're all thinking. which is so funny bc the protags are suzuko and chinatsu but like. piriluk is the real hero here. or kiyoi i guess i should say since she aint piriluk anymore

ok there we go. there are the tears. i knew wixoss would do it to me again eventually

chinatsu's narrative with suzuko as like. wanting to be her best friend and being insecure about suzuko having other friends because she thinks she's not good enough for suzuko to like care about the Most. i've dealt with that and so like. It's Personal

thankfully it turned out the same for chinatsu and for me. both of our best friends love us the most and want us to be their best friends too because they feel the same way about us. so like. Hoo Boy Did Somebody Spring A Leak In Here (sobs into a whole roll of toilet paper)

intricate rituals ...

god they are really hinting SO hard at satomi being ulith and i'm telling you right now if that happens i'm going to be very annoyed. well depending on how they do it i might not be but like we saw ulith get horribly dismembered and eaten alive so like. PLEASE

last episode of season 1. here we go. if ruuko doesn't show up in this one i'll take to the streets

ok so he's not ulith. thank CHRIST. but now this new one has a lot to measure up to. thrill me, wixoss

NO! NOOOOOOO!!!

WAIT
WHAT???
WAIT HOLD ON

ok so like. the fact i even have to ASK this question almost sounds like i dont know a damn thing about wixoss but. suzuko won! riru disappeared, and suzuko was supposed to remember her, and like. she did. SO?? WHY IS SHE- oh wait. does she. does she know about meru

it would make sense if she knew about meru but then i feel like she would have been more concerned about chinatsu?? like, i feel like she would have ... talked to her?? about it?? they're best friends and finally got back together so like why would she let chinatsu ... disappear,

god im more confused than ever

ok i went to the wiki and apparently chinatsu "won" by still having that tiny bit of gold on her coin at the end of the time limit. which is weird because they really didn't make that obvious at all. but like bc she won like that she lost her memories of suzuko

still weird that suzuko apparently knew this and didnt say anything about it and just reintroduced herself when she re-met chinatsu. not really understanding that. but wixoss is really confusing ngl

debating on watching lostorage conflated right now or waiting til im not dead tired. prob gonna wait bc i want to have my head clear for this one bc my GIRLS are in it. my precious ruuko. and yuzuki. and hitoe. akira's there too but she can choke

oh FUCK i love leyra shes so badass

MY GIRL MY GIRL MY GIRL IM SOBBING DONT TOUCH ME DONT FUCKING LOOK AT ME

GOOD FOR YOU DARLING PACK UP AND RUN AS FUCKING FAST AS YOU CAN AWAY FROM HERE

ok we're starting this shit up again. i hope ruuko runs very fast and very far away but i know this series and she will not, she will get roped back into this horrible game

THERE'S MY GIRLS THERE'S MY GIRLS THERE'S MY GIIIIIRLS

WAIT WHEN DID SHE- WHEN WAS TH-

at the end of the original series we had an ambiguous ending like is tama alive and human ? maybe ? but like it was never confirmed AND NOW THEY'RE JUST DROPPING THIS ON US???

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

THIS IS WHAT I WANTED FOR MY GIRLS the only caveat is that ruuko's wish and subsequent battling of mayu was basically useless. like imagine madoka made her wish but then we do a timeskip and witches are still around and being made from magical girls' souls. for no reason

that's the kind of bullshittery we're dealing with here

akira ahead of the curve

yeah suzuko join the club it's literally been four seasons of this

HANAYO!!!! rockin the pandemic haircut

i said in like the first episode that i loved leyla because she was badass and she just showed up again and i have absolutely no recollection of who she is

i vaguely remember her being introduced but idr ANYTHING about her. thatll happen when you take five months to continue watching an anime

OH WAIT LEYLA'S COIN BET IS SO FUCKING COOL

man i hate how they constantly hurt hitoe the girl doesnt deserve it. like none of these girls do but ESPECIALLY hitoe. shes been through so damn much

ohhh thats not a coin bet thats the key card. thats cool as shit its like the Eternal Girl promise but like not fucked up and bad. instead its how its supposed to be with them fighting together

watching everyone try desperately to keep ruuko from getting back into the selector battles is hysterical theyre like this girl will NOT get back into them if we have ANYTHING to say about it (proceeds to fall all over each other to keep ruuko oblivious to the battles)

god im so happy theyre able to touch each other im SO happy. small miracles

FUCK NO. FUCK NO. FUCK NO. FUCK NO. FUCK NO

WHYYYY DO THEY KEEP BRINGING BACK ALL THE FORMER SELECTORS WHAT'S THE POIIIINT im asking this to the villain of the series btw not the writers tho like new characters would be nice but like. wixoss is like, 1st season, madoka magica basically. 2nd season rebellion

by that i mean the protag does some great stuff in the first season and then in the second it's like Oops Actually I Didn't And Everything's Worse

akira is always like "i finally found a selector" like girl theyre literally all over i have no clue how you have trouble finding them youre in a town where literally every other person is a selector

this is what i call the mario and luigi battlefield

WAIT WHAT. WAIT. WHAT.

IS YUZUKI JUST GONE FROM THE FUCKIN WORLD THEN???? WHAT

LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO HER BODY ........... also where's kazuki to beat the shit out of this girl

yuzuki seeing ruuko must be so humiliating shes like man. this is the second damn time ive gotten stuck in a card trying to fix things. sorry ruuko

YEAH BABY THE GIRLS ARE BACK

i say "yeah baby" but like i didnt want this to happen at all in fact i was very vocally against it from the very beginning of this thread
