Seven minutes. Post anime videos under, around or just over seven minutes. Clips, compilations, openings, endings, shorts, omake, AMVs...anything goes, just keep the time in mind.

I am now only three episodes away from finishing Lostorage Conflated WIXOSS, and with it, the WIXOSS franchise as a whole. The developments of this season have been really intense, and now, so close to the finale, I finally get to see the two previous protagonists of the series, Ruuko and Suzuko, battle against each other. It's already been better than Lostorage Incited was, but I'm not sure it's matched the Selector seasons yet.

I think I also might have a new favorite character in the franchise. It's very rare for me to think a soft-spoken quiet girl is an anime's "best girl", but Piruluk might just be one of those very rare times. Her story (I'm not going into more detail because spoilers) has been the best part of these last two seasons and her character design is great too. Plus, if I ever got the chance to play the real-life WIXOSS card game, I like her play style.

Does the title of that series mean anything or they just threw a bunch of random words in a jar and picked a few to name the seasons?

About to sit down and watch those last three episodes now. This is going to be fun.

Yes, the titles mean something.

The term Selector from the first two seasons is what the players in the battles are called, and the battles they take part in are referred to as Selector battles. The term Lostorage isn't used in the anime, but there are some pretty valid fan theories about what exactly it refers to that I can't get into because spoilers. They also probably changed that part of the title to give it a clear distinction from the previous seasons, considering that Lostorage Incited both shifts the focus to a new main cast and changes the nature of the Selector battles themselves.

As for the second word in each season's title: In Selector Infected, the very first Selector battle we see on-screen begins and infects the world with the pain it causes those involved. Selector Spread sees the battles grow, hurting more people and needing to be contained. In Lostorage Incited, the battles return and become much riskier, inciting even more bad feelings out of the participants and seemingly accelerating the cycle. Finally, Lostorage Conflated (you can google what the word conflate means, I had to as well) is where all of the main players from the past Selector battles come together and combine their power to put a stop to the battles once and for all. It essentially spells out a very barebones explanation of the series itself.

I've officially finished WIXOSS, and I loved it. The final battles in the last few episodes were amazing, and unlike when the story seemingly ended on a bittersweet note in Selector Spread, they went for a definitive "hype and awesomeness" ending for the main story in Lostorage Conflated. This is one of those cases where I hope they don't revive the franchise to continue the story, because it ended perfectly. Also, I did officially declare Piruluk as best girl, as you can see from the gifs in my sig changing. My overall final ratings for the franchise:

Selector Infected = 9.5/10
Selector Spread = 9/10
Lostorage Incited = 8/10
Lostorage Conflated = 9.5/10
Average (and overall score for the WIXOSS franchise) = 9/10

Next up for me is to finish Lupin The Third part 5 (now that its dub has finally finished on Toonami) and continue with Powerpuff Girls Z. Haven't decided what show I might start next, but I'm leaning towards Sabagebu because I've had it on my plan-to-watch list for literally years now.

I still have faith that a continuation to the main story will come within the next couple of years. But they need all of the gacha money they can get from Magia Record to make that continuation as good as possible, so you should be hoping that its anime does well too.

On the flip side, I found it an incredibly enjoyable bite sized series. At 6 episodes, it's not a huge time investment either.

Its funny because anime seasons used to be 24 episodes by default in the past, even smaller SOL ones. Nowadays almost everything is 12-13, even stuff like One Punch Man, and anything that gets to 24 episodes or more are either extremely hyped anime or long runners.

It's not that bad. There have been some moments of inconsistent quality in the Azur Lane anime, but it's not like the whole show was a trainwreck from the get go. Plus, it's only a 3-month delay and not over a year like Marchen Madchen had. Didn't Girls Und Panzer also have this exact same situation when it aired, where it originally aired in the fall season but the final two episodes were delayed until March?

Azur Lane's mobile game started as a Chinese knockoff of KanColle, but it became really popular and eventually surpassed KanColle partly due to the much more varied character designs. The game getting a global release (when you still need a VPN to play KanColle outside of Japan) helped a lot.

I haven't played the game, but I've heard that it's a loose adaptation of the game's story and not any sort of original content. But yes, the story's been pretty insane, and the action scenes (when the inconsistent quality isn't happening) are top notch.

I'm pretty sure marchen madchen's was only intended to be a few months at first it just got delayed more and more. I don't remember specific dates but I remember multiple times where there was an announcement for the airing of the last episodes that turned out to be wrong lol

It's more to due to the fact that kancolle sat with its thumbs up its butt for literal years before they gave even so much as an announcement that "hey, remember that S2 that we announced years ago? still coming!".

Looks like Amazon Japan fucked up and accidentally uploaded some Precure merch a bit too early, leaking the designs for the upcoming series. They could be fake, but considering how quickly they were removed, I think they're legit and the Toei/Bandai assassins got to whoever put them up early.

Every year's new Precure begins in early February, and the designs (or at least some info about them) usually end up leaked like this in late November or early December. I've been seeing "where are the leaks?" posts in Precure threads on /a/ for weeks now. Toei can try all they want to stop it, but the designs always seem to get leaked beforehand somehow.

For Kamen Rider we usually get tradmarks appearing in May or June and design and toy leaks through toy scans in late June or July which give us our first bit of details. So a couple months or so before airdate. Always an exciting time of the year. I always look out for that stuff on /m/ and I also see Where are the leaks? posts lol.

@SDBZ @Tropicalwood Since you guys mentioned Gridman, it reminded me... not sure if you guys knew about this, but there was actually a Gridman collaboration event in the Japanese version of Symphogear XD Unlimited. Hibiki and Tsubasa even got new gear designs based on it. The game is getting a global release next year and there's a chance they could run the same event on the global server at some point.
