I've grown up watching my cousins and friends playing card games such as Yu Gi Oh and Pokemon. Selector is about that type of card game.
I have never understood how the game is played and I've never even watched Yu Gi Oh as well. Selector was not on my To-Watch list for Spring 2014's season. Although, I decided to watch it because I find everything else not interesting. Here is a short description I took from Wikipedia.
WIXOSS (short for "Wish Across") is a popular trading card game in which players battle against each other with fighters known as Lrigs (ルリグ Rurigu?), using cards to support them. Ruko Kominato, who receives a WIXOSS deck from her brother, discovers that her Lrig, which she names Tama, can speak. She soon learns that she has been chosen as a 'Selector', girls who must battle against other Selectors. Should they be victorious in battle, they will be able to have any wish granted, but should they lose three times to other Selectors, they will lose that chance and lose all memory of the game. As she and four other Selectors battle it out for the sake of their wish, Ruko finds herself drawn into the dark sinister world of WIXOSS.
The characters being introduced on the 1st and 2nd episode are the type of girls who have no friends, that will be Ruko and Hitoe and maybe Yuzuki as well. After being 'Selector', they need to defeat each other to get their wishes. And this is where the good girls gone bad.
I think it's quite common to see these type of characters (no friends and innocent type of girls) become so 'bad' just to get their wishes fulfilled as for Ruko, she may want to wish her grandmother to stay and Yuzuki wants to be with her brother. Eventhough it is common, the storyline sort of attracts to just watch the anime and see what will happen. Is it something that we will expect in the end or kind of twisted.
