I'm getting an Accel World, Fate/Zero, [C] Control and Yu-gi-oh vibe from this. That's not necessarily a bad thing, besides it's only the first episode and Wixoss could go in any direction after this premiere.
In any case, I'll be keeping a close eye on this.

Not a bad start. Looking forward to the next episode. Still wondering how the battle mechanics goes though in this anime. However, I do believe that card games anime adaptation are not for everybody.

This was very interesting, I don't like the VA for Ruuko for some reason. Not much else to say about this show... 4/5
Psychological shows are hit or miss for me, I'll try not to get my hopes up so as not to be disappointed by this.

I really doubt this show will get too heavily into the game mechanics. It's probably going down the Madoka route of cute girls falling into despair. With Mari Okada at the helm you know that drama will be the primary focus.

So watch this if you're looking for a Madoka like show and not if you're looking for a battle game show.

I like both Madoka and game-based shows, just wish they'd cover the basic rules. I'd gotten used to that from yugioh.

Usually I don't really like card games anime. The first episode was fine I guess. I'll watch a fex more to see if I do like it or no. I don't want to judge an anime just watching the first episode. Sometimes you need some time untl the show goes better.

It's like Yu-Gi-Oh! and Busou Shinki had a baby I swear. Madoka probably mingled in their affair somewhere along the way also.

Oh God yes!

For the first twon minutes or so watching this I was thinking "OK, I don't care if I end up hating every other show that I watch on Fridays this season, just let the ONE psychological show from this season be good!"

And I'd say 3 minutes in, I realized how great of a vibe the show gave me. Specifically, the Magica Madoka vibe.

And yet it does so much to differentiate itself from Magica Madoka, with the fact that death(at least so far) doesn't seem to be a factor, alongside the fact that if you lose 3 times, you just don't get your wish.

And of course, the main character is just as captivating as Madoka, but she doesn't seem anywhere near as clueless.

Oh, and I also thought it gave off a Mirai Nikki vibe as well for a bit, but again, no deaths, you just don't have your dreams come true.

Oh, and on a side note, if I'm wrong, and there actually another psychological show form this season, can someone point me towards it please?

Edit: Oh, and I forgot to say this. I've been trying to broaden my horizons with anime, and now I'm watching a card based anime, so yay me!

No high expectations but it was quite enjoyable!

I liked how the main character's name was introduced (first you see the last name from mailbox and then first name from her door's nameplate), that was pretty cool.

I like the character designs and voices. The main character is really cute.

Noticed the 'Psychological' -genre tag and judging from the trailer, this can get pretty interesting. I'll try first few episodes to see if it's worth following whole series personally.

It totally gave off that Madoka vibe. I liked Madoka so hopefully this turns out well too.

Interesting how Ruko immediately learned how to play. Kazuki only taught her how to attack but she figured out how to do the other stuff by herself. Must have read the manual off-screen :p That or they're going to tell us Tama the little psycho and Ruko are now linked.

Why am I getting last boss vibes from Grandma?

Well, so far I'm disappointed with the cute stuff and the stupid incest wish.
I'm just gonna stick around because of the psychological tag.

Not fantastic, but not terrible either. Somewhere along the middle, just above a 6 right now. We'll see how this goes, I'll give it 2 more episodes to show me what it's trying to be.

P.S. The OP is fantastic.

Okay, I don't have any reasons to drop it at this moment. My only chargrin is the main character combo - girl with no impact on whatever, be it talking or breathing, and her pocket loli which LITERALLY acts like a cute animal. Blargh, I just CAN SEE how they will become my favourite characters, gee -.- Well, main characters are almost always like this, so I'll get used to them (and maybe Ruko will pleasantly surprise me, who knows, altough not putting my hopes up for that). It's not that 2edgy4u for now, second girl's motivation interests me - yeah, I thought about incest too, but then I took of my Anime Glasses and thought that maybe he's terminally ill? Okay two more episodes for me, let's see if its worth its salt.

PS. Yazuki is cool, I like him.

Good concept, decent first half. I had a few problems with the second half, but whatever, twincest ftw. Will continue watching, but I don't see how this is going to be solved in 12 episodes, I feel like the building Ru-chan was talking about with her grandma will be relevant.

ED is fine, but I am bored of the OP already.

Edit: Can't wait for that KugiRie character called Urisu. ^^

This series is giving off a very dark, psychological vibe to me and I don't know why..

OP was meh. Liked the ED. Overall, the episode was alright.

Will definitely stay for the twincest woop.

Nice to see everyone going in with their prejudices at large ^^ I mean, look at the MAL score after one episode. Makes me lol.

Anyways, its looking nice to me so far. Seems like we won't get to know the game itself ;/
And outside interference is some very broad definition of escaping a loss, huh.

Is Yuzuku's wish to make her twin brother her boyfriend? No matter. She's going to be the first to die for trying to fight dirty against Ruko.

A decent 1st episode. It's gotten me interested.

The idea behind this anime isn't new what is new is the setting or better said the feelings and the course of the episode.
The beginning felt pretty dark while a little on it felt depressive and towards the end things looked a bit more cheery but that the preview which again looked somewhat dark.
I think this anime could turn out to be something nice the way it currently looks.
Guess i will stick with it for the time being.

Hopefully they will explain the rules in a bit more detail next time. Other than that it's Yu-Gi-Oh's shadow duels with a moe spin. And I'm fine with that, as long as the matches are tactical and exciting with a lot of surprises.

Also, for some reason I thought this was going to be horror after seeing the preview. xD

Heh, this is not a card game show. I doubt we'll get much more information about the way the actual card-game is supposedly played. They didn't even describe or really show the two cards drawn in the battle. If it was about the cards we'd have gotten a much more detailed description of them and something about the mechanics of the regular game. I suspect the battles are basically the Avatars clashing in combat, and whatever strength they have doesn't come from the supplementary cards, but comes from the Selectors themselves. Three losses means the Selector is drained....and discarded.

What we're probably going to get is a much darker story about what it is that is driving the girls to do this, for example was Yuzuki chosen as a Selector because she had this desperate (and forbidden) love for her brother that could only come to fruition through a miracle of some sort? Will all the other girls have something similar driving them? The cards are just a gimmick, the real story will be to what desperate lengths the girls are pushed by their desires. And despite Kazuki's attempt to introduce the concept of sportsmanship and fairness during that battle, there will be blood...
