The manga's been in my backlog for ages, but I think it's time to do some research into your claim.
...
I can confirm the validity of your position. Bring on the anime.
More Eva is always a good thing.
I selected the $59 tier, so I will be getting the Blu-ray/DVD, MP3 album, PDF booklet or art and interviews, and digital copies. They said they shipped the Blu-rays/DVDs on the 11th. Still haven't gotten my Blu-ray/DVD yet.

This anime is making me want to ride a bike after a long time. So good.
Great taste

This is only to serve for more suffering when it does happen though.

Takao finally gets some love. Trying to resist the urge to order.

Watched the first 4 episodes of Princess Tutu with the gf, who I've been slowly introducing to anime. It's my first time watching it too, and we both really like it. Very cute show!

Gets better.
Kanon ep 3
All characters in this anime get amnesia, nobody remembers anything important for some reason. Makoto is annoying, don't know what to say about everyone else they are pretty random or haven't get enough screen time yet.
Ayu... well she's the more enjoyable character

It has a duck in it, of course it's good. Pretty much anything with a duck in it are awesome. See: Tsuritama, Rage of Bahamut, Duck Tales, Howard the Duck, duckroll, etc.

Jumping the shark in your own post, eh?

Sakura Trick 03
It's a (shutting down the) sports festival episode.
And a pool cleaning one too. Yuu's sister Mitsuki finally gets to meet Haruka as well, although not at the best moment.

M3 was just far too ugly to sit through it.

Nightmare fuel.
Seriously. I vaguely remember my dad renting this when I was a kid. Genuine 100% nightmare fuel.

When he started interacting with his sister in game, it got a little weird.
KLK is my guilty pleasure. I haven't watched enough anime this year to really have a top pick, though.

All these WIXOSS impressions. If I wasn't stuck in watching one of the best anime comedies I've ever seen thanks to a watchbet, a surprisingly decent so far story from the author of SAO, and a mecha anime based off of a manga written by Stan Lee, I probably might have given in and joined in on the Mari Okada fest out of sheer curiosity.
Just started? Sounds to me like you're already a ways into it.

That's pretty much where I dropped it. Though it wasn't that great to start with in my opinion, largely due to my dislike of Kirito (amongst other reasons).
I'm probably going to keep watching it for now, but even for an anime it is ridiculous

It was enjoyable enough to continue watching. A bit overhyped in my opinion.

Good price from Right Stuf, certainly. I'll buy.
I almost bought this a couple of weeks ago, still not sure what to do.

HOLY SHIT THIS IS SO HYPE
HOLY SHIT THIS IS SO HYPE
selector infected/spread WIXOSS 12 + Final Thoughts
Split cour shows alway slip my mind, because the second half is competing against new IPs, but while I still consider WIXOSS to be a Spring show, the series as a whole is one of my surprises of the year. Analyzing it at the level of "despair lol" feels like it's underrepresenting what the series did. Like BRS (which I don't think was that bad), the show does have things it's trying to say, and it's one of the more inventive takes I've seen on a card game anime.
Instead of the card game itself being front and center, or the lore from the cards being turned into a series, it's more about the kind of people who would play a card game with supernatural powers in the first place. Taking the focus off of the merchandising aspect (and like the anime, I think WIXOSS the game is aimed at the late-night audience) and onto the characters made for something unique, to card game anime and anime as a whole. The finale may have repeated the words of colors and selections a few too many times, but I felt it tied the themes together, and the montage of
was actually kinda sweet.
I'm calling it a dark horse contender for one of my favorite shows of the season. The atmosphere is like a lot of VNs I'm interested in, the characters are cute and complex-ish, and it does something with a card game that I never would've expected. I liked it, and I'm glad the show gave me the motivation to watch BRS. This feels like something only anime could do. And that's a compliment.

I dropped it when they started the second game, it had an interesting premise but it become super boring after the second chapter.
