In a dazzling celebration of its decade-long journey, the WIXOSS trading card game has unveiled a gripping animation promotional video on its YouTube channel. This nostalgic venture, titled “Selector loth WIXOSS,” brings back the cherished team behind the franchise’s previous anime adaptations, forging a bridge between the past and the present. The video’s release not only commemorates the 10th anniversary of the beloved card game but also heralds a reunion of creative minds who have been integral to the WIXOSS universe.
The theme song “INNER CHILD,” performed by Kanon Wakeshima, sets the emotional tone for the video, wrapping viewers in a melody that’s both haunting and evocative. This song, akin to a siren’s call, invites fans old and new into the intricate world of WIXOSS, promising a journey that’s as enthralling as it is visually stunning.
Returning to the helm of the story’s creation is Mari Okada, whose pen has once again crafted a narrative that pushes the boundaries of the WIXOSS saga. This new chapter unfolds ten years after the events that mesmerized fans in the original Selector anime series, offering a glimpse into the evolution of its universe. J.C. Staff lends its animation prowess to bring Okada’s vision to life, ensuring that the visual experience is as compelling as the storyline.
The promotional video sees the return of Ai Kakuma as Rūko Kominato, reviving a role that has been etched in the hearts of the franchise’s followers. Accompanying her return are the distinctive character designs and storyboards of Yukie Hiyamizu, who alongside Shigeki Kimoto, takes on the dual roles of technical direction and key animation. Their collaboration ensures that the video not only honors the aesthetic legacy of the WIXOSS series but also elevates it to new heights.
Fans eager to dive deeper into the lore can look forward to the WX24-P2 WIXOSS TCG Booster Pack loth Selector, set to release on July 6. This new addition to the card game promises to envelop players in the enthralling world of WIXOSS, offering both new challenges and rewards.
The WIXOSS card game, launched by Takara Tomy in April 2014, quickly became a cornerstone of the trading card game community. Its accompanying anime, beginning with “Selector Infected Wixoss” and evolving through series and films such as “Selector Spread Wixoss” and “Selector Destructed Wixoss“, expanded the game’s lore, weaving intricate stories that captivated audiences worldwide. The franchise’s journey through the years has been marked by significant milestones, including the series’ expansion into international markets with the English release of the card game by Tomy International in November 2021.
This promotional video serves as a testament to the enduring legacy and evolving narrative of the WIXOSS franchise. It beckons to fans, old and new, to once again lose themselves in the world of Selector battles, where the stakes are high, and the bonds of friendship and rivalry grow ever stronger. As the franchise steps into its next decade, it remains a vibrant and dynamic force in the world of anime and trading card games, promising more thrilling adventures and heartfelt stories to come.
