"In the early 21st century, the Gates opened without warning. From the Gates, which would later come to be known as 'Black Points', bizarre monsters from beyond our world appeared. These monsters brought death wherever they went. And in less than seven days, humanity had lost all means of fighting back, and the planet was engulfed in the darkness of despair. As the unending despair dragged on, people came to call the creatures that came from the Black Points 'Zillions of enemy X', or Z/X."
[TV series, 2014, 12 episodes, 24 min; based on a collectible card game for PlayStation 3 from 2013 and an ongoing Shounen manga with 1+ volumes since 2012] |

Z/X Ignition
(One episode watched):
WTF? After some modestly intriguing black sphere engulfs a good deal of Tokyo, everything from grim reapers to angels to dinosaurs apparently emerge from it, which makes a mockery of any attempt at a plausible science fiction premise. I could not make heads or tails of it until someone produced a 'Z/X Card', and I realized that this was a flimsy TV show/advertisement for another card game. It made sense now--the flashy but cardboard thin characters and their fancy avatars fighting it out repeatedly are typical of such stuff. Apparently humans are fighting both for and against the Z/X, and there are good ones as well as bad ones, but I don't really care since there's clearly nothing here for me. Being a plug for a card game isn't necessarily the kiss of death, but such a show has to deliver enough quality that even someone who has never heard of the game would find it interesting, and this one clearly didn't.
