Story and characters are quite good, but I'm getting way to frustrated about not getting any explanations on the game itself or seeing what kind of stats the different cards have. =/

Probably gonna drop it because of that.
Just sit back, and let your tears do the talking as I save you.

can we please stop this never-ending incest wagon from becoming too integrated with the anime industry?
aside from that and the fact that I still have no idea how this game is played, the drama is really intense and really enjoyable to follow

Is Ruuko slowly getting corrupted by the card game? Wanting to battle, having to "strategize"... I really hope she does, it could get very interesting then.

I almost hope she just crushes the loner girl in a battle in the next episode without really realising, though I doubt it'd get this dark so quick.

Akira's such a bitch, made me cringe when she talk...

When Kazuki said Yuzuki was being too straight forward, I was like "Oh wait... she needs to be straight forward... SHE NEEDS TO BE STRAIGHT FORWARD!"

THAT PREVIEW HOLY DAMN!!!!

Judging off from the preview I'm guessing the voices for this series will be amazing.

I also really wish they explained the card battles and what the command "grow" does. Is this explained very well in the Manga? When do you think this will be explained (the mechanics and everything)?

Edit: Oh wait, there is no manga... nevermind...

It's kinda tedious watching someone play a card game and having no idea about the rules.

It's pretty early on to judge, but it has promise. But I do have to say that it's going to be hard with only 12 episodes and it's current pace. Really hard.
However, I really like the look of the backgrounds, and I'm still getting used to the art style.

I also see what you guys are saying with the rules, its like if porn were to... nevermind. But it does really take away when you don't know why things are happening. But I don't think the battles were meant to be the focus of the show.

Ah I wish they'd explain how the game works in more detail ... maybe we'll get that next time since it seems like Ruuko might be battling (so her first time = more explanation hopefully?) :O
Akira sure is strong huh ... Hitoe got CRUSHED it looks like D: It seems as though different colours have powers (so Akira = blue, Hitoe = green obviously with the name of her avatar, Yuzuki = red, and Ruuko = colourless?). Discarding cards sure is a good strategy (kind of reminds me of Heartstone or w/e) :P
Getting more cards ... but yeah, Yuzuki sure was acting weird huh? Especially running away from Kazuki, then seeing him out with the card shop girl ... maybe that's why she was so quiet at the store?
Ruuko gets challenged and Akira catches up with Yuzuki ... more battles next episode? :O

What a bitch, hope she lose. Rooting for brocon sis all the way. There is only one thing I hope, that is not to give the protagonist too much.. "plot armor" or some hax OP power shit.

Well, I am pretty sure Yuzuki's wish is that her brother would not be her brother so they can marry...

Aki is mean, I like that! lol

Couldn't put my finger on it earlier but this reminds me of Accel World a bit as well.

LOL when Ruko goes "Aki-Lucky!" Wow Akira is pretty creepy, stalking them for a battle and getting off to tormenting that poor girl. So Yuzuki really is in love with her brother. I'm just glad they're not playing it off as fan-service. This series is keeping up the momentum for me.

I looked up the rules for this card game because they don't care to explain it anywhere.

Also, how can this show ever be dark if there's no real punishment for losing other than not being able to play anymore?

I wonder what the punishment for interfering with battles on purpose is.
I keep watching because I'm a fan of Yugioh and therefore I like card games.

What the fuck?!?! Aki-lucky's power is unfair as hell!! What a bitch, too!! The boy could have easily tackled the shit out of her when she was asking for their mail address =_=
Poor Hitoe :/ That Ai Kayano voice, though <3
Damn, girl, of course you wouldn't know what she is thinking. You only met her like yesterday or something.
Did they put this incest thing to add more psychological shit??
Please, someone destroy Aki-lucky.

Dramatic incest story check! Pretty decent episode, but I'm sure it's gonna get quite dramatic further on the show.

Pretty good so far, plot and character-wise.

Since they've made it a point more than once in just two episodes that the protag doesn't have a wish... I'm gonna go ahead and guess that she's basically just bloodthirsty. As in, a ruthless competitor. Makes sense that she paid extra attention to the taunting smile from Akira's LRIG. AND, Ruuko's grandmother is obviously an avid gamer as well, so she probably got that from her. Oh and it also lines up with her LRIG's attitude actually ("Battoru!")

2 MC girls are introduced. One of them famous annoying girl and the other one is just annoyingly coward.

I thought that Akira would be the nice girl, meh I was wrong. But both of these 2 new girls are just annoying.

Yuzuki is the most interesting one, with the wish to marry his twin lol. Reminds me of Yosuga no Sora.

For a pilot ep follow-up, ep 2 was ok I guess.

My only issue so far is that Akira and Hitoe are both walking stereotypes. Its so glaringly obvious it hurts. Esp Hitoe, I mean, clumsy, shy, glasses, green hair, twin braids, no wait that was the Code Geass meganeko... Like a clone of that glasses girl from Mahouka.
Seeing how interesting both Ruuko and Yuzuki straight from the start, I was expecting more.
I'm an optimist though, so I guess they'll have some development later =)

Well, it's certainly entertaining so far, and I'm curious to see where it all goes.

On the other hand, this tsundere chick who lashes out whenever her girlhood starts to tremble around her twin brother (which is constantly) could easily start to severely get on my nerves.

THANK YOU. Now I wish they showed the Life cloth gauge, so that we'd know if someone is in the brink of losing.
Also in this ep Hitoe attacked although it's the first turn, that's allowed? The other TCGs I've played the first player may not attack.


In Future Card Buddyfight you're allowed to attack if you go first.

Episode was ok.
New characters are annoying. Dat forced drama<.<
The series is no advertisement for the TCG but apparently focuses on story and characters.


Just began the show, and made sure I read up the rules on the site.
Apparently it *is* illegal to attack on the first turn in this game. (http://selector-wixoss.wikia.com/wiki/Gameplay#Attack_Phase).

Also, they did show the life cloth gauge, as a set of 7 little lights on the ground around the LRIG.

Whelp, there goes all my respect for this show. They're just making up the rules as they go along.

Akira is a bitch for the sake of being one. Yuzuki has some serious anger management issues and can't say no. (What's the problem with refusing to give your number to someone? There were three of them. Akira wouldn't have stopped them.) It seems like it's just another show where personalities don't exist, and characters behave the way they do just to advance the plot. I don't like it so far, it reminds me of the trainwreck that was Kokoro Connect, and I hope it'll change.

I can see this getting dark. Also... hmm. I can't tell if I'm enjoying this or not. They haven't explained... any rules that I'm aware of. Unless I'm forgetting something from Episode 1. The confusion with the incest? You can't marry your brother, so him dating someone else = bad? Just I'm unsure about this show. Next episode should be interesting with the double battle. I just hope the battles aren't overly rushed.

Ruko:"But I don't have any wishes or dreams..."...well, unleast the J.C. Staff people are honest with how one-dimensionals their characters are.
Let's see, the MC is a blank paper, the deuteragonist is only defined for being in love with his twin, wich is disgusting, and the battles are just like Pokémon...well, unleast it has pretty colors.
2/5 to the episode and 4/10 to the show.

Akari was pretty mean. But it was Hitoe's fault to go unprepared in a battle.

I'm curious, if Yuzuki will fare better against Akari.

Hey Hitoe! Yuzuki was in front of Akira first!

Stop taking your card games that seriously.
