| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well....that was kinda weird... The poker game was alright but I can see the main draw is the fanservice. |
 |
| wtf the girl can guess Rio's sizes Oo? |
 |
| Lots of good fanservice Loved Rio in a wedding dress, I wasn't expecting that in the very first episode. The poker game was ok and getting into Rio's world was surreal. The end was good with Mint tripping and ripping off Rio's dress exposing panties and Rio's nice ass. The ecchi in this series is quite necessary since the casino is based off a Vegas style casino and the outfits tend to match the concept save for a few other goodies to keep it somewhat Japanese in nature. |
 |
| Err fanservice and gambling? hmm though there is some wtf moments in there but it's somewhat a boring first episode. Giving this an episode or two. |
| So is this like Kaiji except less moe? I'm ready for some gambling action so I think I'm gonna try this show out. |
| Ok™ |
| Well lol... This was weird. The whole thing is somehow OK, it's not that cliched stuff with this gambling background and so, but still, the whole thing is just... weird. Well, I'll give it another chance with ep 2, maybe I'll be surprised. |
 |
| It was a bit weird...I did not understand few details like the kinds of powers she has... so we'll see next week maybe? |
| Mediocre averageness right here :X |
| Man, this is not how gambling works. Also, the lesson today is make money so the girl you love will marry you. Yeesh. This show might be worth watching for trainwreck/ironic reasons. As long as the other episodes keep up with this level of absurdity. |

Have you seen Yu-Gi-Oh or read The Legend of Koizumi, Rio's card powers are quite similar to the powers featured in both anime/manga, it's just done in way that makes it surreal. As for her supernatural luck, we may get an answer later in the series. |

| Original anime huh? Animation was pretty good outside of a few stills. Concept seems pretty stupid, but reminds me of Legend of Koizumi. Mint reminds me of Kanon from TWGOK, except 8 years younger. Clever girl, suggesting Rio take off her clothes as the bet lol. I'm gonna go on a limb and say this show is going to be like Sora no Otoshimono, and basically is going to prove to be better than its initial impressions imply. |

| Started watching it, skipped through many parts and made a conclusion - I won't watch it... Well the animation was quite nice |

|
| If having her around causes the customers to win... why doesn't the casino fire her? |
Meddigo said: If having her around causes the customers to win... why doesn't the casino fire her? Because the manager is a serious pervert and the owner only wants to make a cent, and before she appears the house wins anyway so the casino will at least break even or make a modest profit, and take in consideration that there are members of organized crime and actresses which could be potential high rollers (Rosa for example). |
|
| So what is this Anime ?? i mean story. More or less there is no description. |
 |
| Sure, a casino employing a dealer who gives luck to customers. It's a stupid concept from the get go. |
 |
| I was really skeptical about the premise of this show and I'm wondering how things will work out. Well, it turns out to be a disaster. The depiction of the casino is rather dull and inaccurate. Plot is... not good. It looks more like an amusement park for cheese sake. The fan service is decent but not enough to make me feel dirty. 2/5 |
sankar said: So what is this Anime ?? i mean story. More or less there is no description. There is no story, any shred of anything that pointed to a story is over when Mint explores her grandfather's casino, it's a slice of life with a Vegas style gambling theme, some shady characters, duels (both fighting and gambling themed), and sexy women. |
|
| I liked the art style and i liked the fact that the city looked like or was San Francisco. But those where pretty much the only positive things i can tell from this episode. It's just a anime to promote gambling. And if gambling and fan service is all this Anime has to offer then it isn't something for me. Tho i like fan service i have no interest in gambling. That marriage proposal seemed very fake. And i doubt a dealer would get more famous then a Hollywood star i also doubt the fact that a Casino would hire a dealer that brings luck to there customers. Seeing that a Casino would lose profit if there customers only win. Not to mention they where not only talking about luck but also superstition what era is this suppose to be? |
| So bad it's good! Seriously, I lol'd so hard at the marriage proposal. The endless bouncing breasts weren't even well animated, especially considered how much time they spent focusing in on them. This is proper terribleness |
The Cart Driver <-- My awesome anime blog |
| I just realized that Rio is in fact from that series Dead or Alive. Which I'm pretty sure everyone should be aware was THE ultimate fanservice video game. |
| |
| Everyone here seem to hate Gambling, you can't said you hate it before watching more than 5 episodes. This is just beginning. The Owner want to have fame and his Casino, well having a famous person there make the Casino even Popular. That doesn't mean she give everyone luck. If every people just losing they will lose customers with her there it will bring more and more people. I don't think he lose any profite for that. I play Poker myself and quite enjoyable. There is not actually a story plot here. |

I'm not sure what did you expect, but the show was pretty much exactly what you could expect it to be, no more, no less. If you didn't like the idea there was no need to watch it in the first place... Anyway, it's kinda silly, I was laughing at its silliness in some moments. But overall is OK. It's a decent time killer. |
 |
| God damn it Xebec. GOD DAMN IT. This is the cancer that is killing anime. |
 |
| Nah, this show can't possibly be worse than Ore no Imouto or The Sacred Blacksmith. Stuff like that is what's killing anime. |

A2ZOMG said: I just realized that Rio is in fact from that series Dead or Alive. Which I'm pretty sure everyone should be aware was THE ultimate fanservice video game. Now I'm tempted to get some of my friends to watch it, they loved Dead or Alive for the women. A2ZOMG said: Nah, this show can't possibly be worse than Ore no Imouto or The Sacred Blacksmith. Stuff like that is what's killing anime. Definitely nowhere near The Sacred Blacksmith and unlike Oreimo this most likely will get a conclusive or a hilarious ending which Oreimo didn't get. |

Shut the fuck up. |

| I didn't expect much for this show, and yet I'm (still) disappointed. I think the suggestive-FS was too much, and I didn't see any story behind it. I will probably watch the second episode for a second chance, but I don't know where that'll lead. =| |
| What did i just see? Where there any plot at all? |
| Tits & Ass is point of this show It delivered |
| Let's be honest, it wasn't that much interesting. It made me laugh a lot though, so I like it (: Haaa, I guess I like Xebec too much~ |
| I saw it between no and absolutely not, but they're might a development in the second episode. -maybe? |
| Well, my expactations were already in minus with this, but they know how to go it under in story. It could be a lot better, to be only "bad", but this is really bad. But I'm a mazochist, so I won't drop it now, 20 mins each week isn't a big deal, since I wasted even more than this. |
| Best part of this ep, yeah...... I wont be watching any more of this series. I'm not really sure what possessed me to watch the first episode since I knew it wasn't something I'd like. |
| I gave it a 3/5. It was watchable and a way to kill 20 or so minutes. It's nothing amazing and had some fairly wtf moments, but I kinda liked it. |
| I downloaded because it had a nice name....i wasn't expecting that tbh. Anyway, errrrrm there's not a lot to say about that really. No plot and lots of fanservice. Ok i guess. |
fuck everything and rumble |
| hentai?...wait; what!?...tv!?! hmm...they should just slap a hentai tag on it, and the series will fulfill its purpose. I mean the damn thing looks like a combo between Cafe Junkie and Ryoujoku Famiresu Choukyou Menu. with Rio being a short haired version of Ayase (famiresu menu) |
 |
| LOL, Am Queen Killah and imma show 'ya what am made of. Well anyway, lolplot isn't that bad, i always liked absurd comedies. But what's the most important, Rio is hawt as hell! ヽ( °٢° )ﾉ |

|
| I do not like gambling in general in real life, but for some reason I enjoy the theme of gambling in anime. I don't mind that it has no plot (for now, at least), and it did get a few chuckles out of me with the "wtf" moments, so I think I'll stick with it and see. I LOL'd and facepalmed when they found out that the bear was Made in China... Being a collectible hunter it's happened to me quite a few times. |
| well, i'll watch it for now, if too many other series end up on my list this'll probably be put on hold, but i enjoyed the first ep |
shizu_bara said: Best part of this ep, yeah...... I wont be watching any more of this series. I'm not really sure what possessed me to watch the first episode since I knew it wasn't something I'd like. pretty much my thoughts on this, i also wont be watching anymore of this series. |
 |
| lol can't stop giggling all throughout the show because of the ridiculousness of it.. might give it a chance just for the weird lols I got from it.. and wouldn't Rio be fired under normal circumstances if she brings luck to the customers?? I mean that casino would go bankrupt in no time if she keeps making customers win bigtime.. |
