Girls with each of these feelings in their hearts are being swallowed into the vortex of a dangerous game…

Maiko Iuchi (A Certain Magical Index , Dog Days, Waiting in the Summer) is composing the music, while Kanon Wakeshima (Vampire Knight, To Love-Ru -Trouble- Darkness, Strike the Blood) is contributing the opening theme song. Kentaro Akiyama (Studio Pablo) is the art director, and Yukiko Itou is the color key artist. Shingo Fukuyo is the director of photography, and Masahiro Goto (REAL-T) is editing.

The toy and game maker Takara Tomy is also announcing that it will launch WIXOSS in April.

The cast includes:

Ai Kakuma as Rūko Kominato

I'm actually looking forward to this with some expectations! My reactions were the same as when I watched Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni: A bunch of girls in the cover and the PV is nothing like it! Plus, this is rated for violence & profanity!

The only thing bothering me is the studio. Apart from Golden Time, I didn't enjoy much of J.C. Staff's works. But we'll know better once it comes out.

I like the concept tbh and the PV. I'll put my faith into JC Staff this time.

Dat tagline though:
Hope, desire, greed.

You didn't like Toradora?! Same studio and creator but better than Golden Time.

I like when J.C. Staff does romcom but I'll have hope that this WIXOSS will be good since they've done some other stuff as well.

It must be shocking when you run into someone who doesn't like Toradora.

Also that PV tells me nothing.

I have high expectations for this.

Same director as Steins;Gate, AnoHana script writer in charge of the scripts, Higurashi/Steins;Gate character designer.

Only thing is not sure wat da fuck is up with their noses lulz.

On first glance this looks terrible. i'm predicting its going to be more of the same melodramatic garbage in the lines of BRS and Genei wo Kakeru Taiyou.

An all-girls cast? Not sure what to think about it.

The description at least sounds interesting.
I like the pv music most though, which I knew what it was.

The trailer's kinda funny. It's all shaking and flashing like it's intense as shit, but I don't really see anyone doing anything.

To be honest, I don't plan to watch this anime for Spring 2014, heck I didn't even know this anime existed. But I saw the PV News on ANN and...

IT IS KAMIDAMN AWESOME...!
(I'm getting Madoka Magica vibes, tbh)

I hope this won't disappoint like some of those card game anime I've watched.

Let's hope it delivers. Looks pretty entertaining but lots of PVs do. Non the less will watch it.
