NEWS: New WIXOSS TV Anime's Teaser Video Reveals Cast, Staff, Story

I think that's a really immature and premature perspective. How is telling a different story with similar elements but different characters or setting in the same franchise a "punch in the gut"? Why wouldn't you just watch it and see how you like the first couple of episodes? The selector duology already told a complete story which would only be cheapened by a forced continuation. It's just dumb to want a sequel to it. Just rewatch it if you love it and can't handle the idea of something being different.

My previous points all entertain the idea that your reaction is even valid. If promotional materials had said the story of Ruuko and Tama would be continued or featured Mayu extensively, and then the show had featured none of that, then you could actually say the creators have misled or disappointed you. All they've said is that there'll be a new work in the WIXOSS universe, just like Twin Wing or Twin Memories. Your ideas about the form this new anime will take seem to have come entirely from your own head.

Apparently, you did not get my point. To be fair, I should have been more clear about my earlier post. I did say about preferring a more direct sequel which is not a horrible idea. Making a complete story incomplete is not always wrong and "dumb". If it is dumb, then why other series like Symphogear keep getting new seasons when it should have been completed in S1 or S2?

My complaint has nothing to do with new story or the new art. It is just that there the new WIXOSS anime has lost the uniqueness that separates the series from other card game anime. And yes, I am aware WIXOSS has a couple of manga that take place in the same universe. Both the manga and the anime have that uniqueness that the upcoming anime has lost. I will let you figure it out what that uniqueness is.

If you think I am the only one having a problem with it, then you are mistaken, my friend.

If the prize is/are "memories", wouldn't it be lighter than selector's prize? spoiler[(to grant wishes)]
I am aware that those who lose would probably spoiler[lose their memories], but still, it would be rather lighter than selector that spoiler[make their (those who lose) wishes reverse]

But the trailer indeed gave me goosebumps. Here we go, J.C.!!!

Cool, more Madoka The Gathering

With selector, my view at least is that it obviously would be. With other, different anime, it might not be.

Great, that means you don't have to explain what it is or why you think it matters. A lot harder to debate with you, then. Interesting that you said "I should have been more clear about my earlier post", any then you decide not to be. I'd love to hear your actual criticism if you'd care to say what it is.

Why would I be interested in the existence of some abstract group of offended people? The sort of people who would become upset by a trailer are exactly the sort of people who are likely to hold childish, entitled views in the first place. Were you going to expand on this, by maybe telling me how I was mistaken, who those people are and what problem they have with it?

You're free to say it doesn't look interesting for whatever reason, but that very vague point seems only to imply that there are people who can't cope with something being different from what they expected. This is what I interpreted your post as being, what I'd be interested in hearing something to contradict and why I responded to you in the first place.
