During a live-streamed event showcasing of the 10th-anniversary project for the WIXOSS trading card game, a new anime promotional video titled “Selector loth WIXOSS” was announced on Sunday. The promotional video reunites the staff from previous anime projects within the franchise and offers a look into what’s to come.
Mari Okada returns to draft the sequel story for the promotional video, set a decade after the events of the previous Selector anime projects. Animation studio J.C. Staff will once again handle animation duties, while Kanon Wakeshima returns to perform the theme song.
Fans can anticipate the “Selector loth WIXOSS” video to stream on the franchise’s official YouTube channel this spring. Additionally, starting this summer, the franchise’s official website will serialize the Selector Infected Wixoss -peeping analyze- manga by Okada and artist Manatsu Suzuki, alongside a novel exploring the lives of the Selectors a decade later.
Coinciding with these releases, the tie-in WX24-P2 WIXOSS TCG Booster Pack loth Selector is scheduled to go on sale on July 6.
WIXOSS, pronounced “wi-cross,” was launched by toy and game maker Takara Tomy in April 2014, along with the premiere of the Selector Infected Wixoss anime series. This was followed by a second season, Selector Spread Wixoss, in October of the same year.
The franchise expanded with the release of the Selector Destructed Wixoss anime film in February 2016, and the 12-episode Lostorage incited WIXOSS anime series in October 2016, streamed by Crunchyroll.
Wixoss Diva(A)Live, the latest television anime installment in the franchise, premiered on January 8, 2021, with Crunchyroll streaming the series as it aired in Japan. Selector Infected Wixoss and Selector Spread Wixoss were released on Blu-ray Disc and DVD by Funimation in September 2015 and June 2016, respectively.
Tomy International launched the English version of the card game in November 2021, further expanding the reach of the WIXOSS franchise.
