----------------------------------------
I so wanted my revenge against Cartia only to learn that she completely took over of all Howard's resort except the Sky Resort. Damn bitch needs a lesson and Rina needs a spanking. What I did love is Rio in the following,

she looks damn hot as a baseball pitcher in her fight against Elvis.I really want to know what's up with the coin toss towards the moon and Rio suddenly in another alternate dimension alone with Mr. ? behind that mask. Are we going to get trolled that it's the magician herself or Rio's mom? Anything can go at this point but the first thing that needed to be done, that of cheering Rio by Elvis, Rosa and Orlin was done not to mention Jack/Mint did a good job also. Oh yeah even Misery came back in Rosa. This episode still had it going. BTW, WTF happened to the sub version, for a first time I see this as RAW when the subs come out fast for this. More later.

Well this episode proved that Rina is doing all this on her free will. She knows good damn well Cartia is using her, but doesn't really care as long as she got what she wanted. I'm glad Rio didn't suck up to Cartia or Rina in that stand-off, proves Rio knows backstabbers aren't worth her time, even if it is her sister. So this joker character really is a real character and not just in the OP credits like I thought.

Xebec making fun of us. They begin from typical ecchi comedy, than includ in plot sci-fi, drama and "boundary" yuri. And now we'll get some mystery? But I'm one of a few who like it.

Nice direction with the plot imo. Now she has to face off against this joker guy. Also, Dana just adds to the plethora of hot babes. I love it!

Can somebody remind me why Howard made a bet where if he lost at all he would give her the resort, but she could take as many attempts as she wanted?

Not a bad episode in terms of progress, but still meh.

Almost fallen aspeel, but that's because of sleep deprivation i think. The episode wasn't that bad, i mean we got some progress in story.

I is sad that i won't get to see Rio in that black dress from ED in actual episode. D :

I'm seriously starting to wonder if Rio is just Asexual, cause she gets so many advances from men, and probably women too, and acts like she just doesn't give a damn about sex. She doesn't even feel one way or another about dressing up in skimpy clothing, except maybe a little annoyed at times.

For a second there i thought they went to the past or something to find the truth (if there was) about Rio's mom and Rina's dad.

That's because in the game apparently you need to impress her good to have any reaction to you. I guess Elvis and his friend failed at that despite they did cheer her up :D

She seemed comfortable with Rina, and that would make her sooooo hot. Hopefully they make up and have a good yuri moment.

Well, if this anime is hentai, I'd say Rio would be banging both sexes.

I bet Kyubi is behind all this, lol!

I didn't get how this turned from a silly fan-service comedy to a strange mystery thriller.

Is Dana that black haired babe with the magic costume? If it's her i have to say she's probably the best looking. She really is hot.

I can't believe they took over the resorts.

Orlin and Elvis were funny together.

Was not expecting the return of Misery.

I am also really enjoying this and can't understand why people would hate on it.
