    Anime Special Review No.8 It’s been awhile since I made a review about anything specifically anime so I will start my comeback with this short review about “Selector Infected WIXOSS: Midoriko-san to Piruruku-tan”. This special focuses specifically about Midoriko and Piruruku, Hitoe and Akira former LRIGs, discussion about the comments, answers and feedback of netizens about different topics that tackles the themes and concept of the Anime “Selector Infected Wixoss” whether it is serious or plain ridiculous. Consist of 3 episodes, spanning 5 minutes each. Available on Blue-ray DVD. Story (7/10) Since the former anime just earn my respect I don’t mind if they will bring insome fan service on the DVD specials like beach episode or anything that suit the fetishes or the dark desire of its fans. But what a surprise for once J.C Staff just showed some respect to its entire cast and it’s own work. They didn’t throw any ecchi scenes or even the most generic themes most special do. nnThis time they become creative with the comedy and theme of the special. As I tackle before it’s about different people commentary about the “Anime Itself” but not directly since the question asked are basic random question most mundane people can answer fairly and differently. nnAnd so what’s so funny about asking people some random question concerning their social life and other things concerning daily living with society? First of all Piruruku-tan make’s side comments on how hilarious the answer of some people make in a particular answer and that made it very humorous and also informative. 2nd part I will discuss it on the Character section. nnGetting to the point why the plot is good enough for the special is that it’s serious and funny at the same time. Same with the anime there are some psychological eastern eggs that you can spot within the discussion and comedic events that make it very smart and well made. nnCharacters (8/10)nnMidoriko-san and Piruruku-tan are the MC for this special. They are the ones that introduces various topics and information concerning many things that is very interesting if you took attention on the question they ask that have a direct connection to the former series. nnFor flavoring Midoriko and Piruruku have more personality here than the anime series. During this 3 episode special I am very entertained by these 2 especially Piruruku personality. Did I mention that Piruruku makes the funny side comment about the people who answered the question and oh boy her comment is cold and she also includes the anime industry and even its own studio in her side comments. Well-being aware about being an anime and a use fan service material really adds up with character appeal in the show.nnThe other characters and main cast have a fair share in the short special. They show up mostly on the questioning scenes and they have a special scene of their own in which is funny for it really matches their real personality from the former…
