lmaonade said: Sounded a lot like Wataru Takagi to me, with a similar voice to what he used for Tatsumi in Shiki. Who is the seiyuu of that Orlin Dunhill guy? Sounds so freaking familiar to me. |
| facepalm this show is exactly what i predict it is muhaha |
 |
| A loli in a casino? That's new. Meh, fan service was ok. I'll keep watchin. Wtf is with Jane? Her switching "yes I'll marry you" after seeing the big pile of chips makes it looks like she's willing to marry the guy for money. Wedding ceremony expense? If she truly loved him these things can be done simply on a piece of paper. :/ |
 |
| So um... >_> |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| Am I the only who find this interesting? Well I have to say I wasn't planning on watching this but since there was no anime to watch this week I give this anime a shot. It has the different feeling from other ecchi animes that I've watch. |
| So, the little girl's first idea for Rio's concession if she loses - out of everything an innocent child would think of - is for Rio to strip off? Go Anime! :P |
| If this anime knew its viewers, she would have lost. |
 |
| Rio is awesome! Love her at the first sight :P |

Laevateinn00 said: This anime is a huge disappointment =_= Would be more satisfying if there is romance for Rio >_< No plot, no main male character....the only thing that is outstanding is Rio's sexiness =_= No male protagonist is most likely the best thing for this anime, I don't want some loser going around a casino vying for Rio's affections. This anime also may be a medium for Merchandise kind of like with some of the Shining series of video games (Tony Taka I'm looking at you). |

| I don't know what to say. What with the fancy poker game and the fact that Rio doesn't wear any bra, I don't even... I borderline dislike it, even if Rio and all the dealers are smoking hot. And did I hear Ishihara from Rainbow and Wataru Takagi? I'll give it one more episode before I drop it. The ED song is just horrible but the pictures are great. Dunno if that's enough to convince me to continue watching this. |
 |
| I dislike series based around mindless fanservice, so no thanks for me. |
 |
| Good enough for me (for now) |
 |
| Interesting interesting alot better than most stuff from last year fan service at a good level unlike H.O.T.D. |
NoVaGamester said: whitney said: I own a casino. I hire a goddess of luck so that everyone wins all the time and I go bankrupt. What the fuck is this? Of course, isn't that how every casino is ran? lol I assume that since Rio is so popular, people come to the Casino from all over. So even though people tend to win when she passes by them, the Casino gets tons of business to break even. |
| Great animation and a nice helping of fan service, I'll bite, this anime looks like it has some potential. |
Speed is Life - 1st ID... patch on my shoulder. |
tinman21 said: 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.. attracting customers (especially those who have terrible luck) would be my guess. i'm also assuming she doesn't work as a dealer 24/7. but yes, under normal circumstances the casino would be left high and dry and become nothing but a memory... |
| Why would a casino would hire a dealer that brings luck to gamblers? A.) For popularity, I do not believe in luck and superstitious thing so I believe that the "Goddess of Luck" thingy is just fabricated just to bring in customers and money. What about the scene where everyone wins when she pass by? Coincidence or just part of fabrication. Losing a something just for a day but gaining more for the week is good business strategy. And yup she doesn't work as a dealer everyday. She works mainly for promotional purposes. B.) The casino's owner is a pervert who have hots for Rio. It is obvious, he makes Rio wear maid uniform, magical girls and wedding dress(?); and he got easily excited when he heard that Rio will strip when she lose to the point he want her to lose and record it in a video. C.) Rio's mother must be a famous dealer too. I recall the comment of the bunny girl saying that Rio looks like her mother when she gets serious(sorry I don't know the exact quote). Maybe the Casino just hired her with the same goal as A.) D.) This is anime, everything is possible dude, even the most irrational and impossible things may happen. But I don't think there is a supernatural or sci-fi element to this anime so...Its up to you guys. For my comment, I really liked this anime. Well, even though the jokes are not as funny as any other comedy anime, the humor is quite good that makes me giggle or chuckle but not lol. Also the art sometimes go wrong or funny. But all is forgiven because Mint is cute and Rio is so gorgeous. I really wanted Rio to become my nee-san too. :P |

Hoppy said: 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. Thanks Hoppy for the info. |
 |
| This shit is so bad, I don't even... |
| It's a suprisingly good show. |
| Mhm, awesome fanservice! Tho the show is a piece of shit. |
| That was pretty fun,,,albeit kinda pointless. I think I'll keep watching. This show is pretty lighthearted, and a welcome break from the dark gritty crap that has been running rampant the last couple of years. |
Well one thing I've learned from this experience, is that a princess is still a princesss even when she is naked. |
| Man, Rio kinda resembles like Kirie Kojima of "Girls Bravo." |
| yeo |
| Although the obvious weak plot of this series is centered around Rio and her powers over the casino for purposes such as defeating troublesome people, she is rather interesting. She can do martial arts and ecchi wonders with her body, that is mature enough. Chip is rather interesting for a animal, they are my favorite types although I find them too expensive still. The owner Howard is a laughing stock but the typical pervert in this series although I like his appearance in general. Rosa Canyon another smoking hot body woman with a Hollywood pride, I like her curves. Orlin Dunhill had a interesting character when he attacked with his men Mint till he revealed why, that was just lame really, although I felt a little bad for his bad luck. The best parts emotionally, the wedding man that bet all to win money for hi wedding, best part in beauty has to be Rio in wedding gown and the fan service of the card trip was best IMO. Of course first loli Mint  is great because of her eye design and uniqueness. Well IMO they are lovely. Guess next episode we can expect the twin-tail girl appeal! Considering she reminds me a little of Asura Crying uniforms, I like her. Another interesting thing to me is that I have not seen much Casino related animes so this is a plus for a setting to me. |

| Man, the stupid translator often refer to Rio as "He" instead of "She." |
| yeo |
sankar said: That's what I though but see here, Casino being the theme is what's interesting, there are not many series that have such a setting furthermore, it remains to be seen how the balance will be with the ecchi and action.Hoppy said: sankar said: 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.So what is this Anime ?? i mean story.

| So…who told me, this show was about mind games and strategic gambling? I bet it was the same guy who told me Highschool of the Dead was about Zombies and Horror… I dislike the fact, that the visuals are so good. |
| I think that i will call this ... a "WTF Anime" ! xD |
  |
whoisfriend said: 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. Exactly. The initial art was somewhat promising, was almost expecting a replacement for my To Love Ru/Sora no Otoshimono withdrawals, but alas. This was just plain boring. |
| Weird ep... so slow, can't see story yet... plain fan service... although the city is well drawn but still not good enough... I might give it a few more eps before I decide to drop |
 |
| I'd fire her if I owned that Casino. Anyways, PLOT FUCKING WHERE?! Dropped. ._. |
| yea that was yawn ~ immediate drop ~ goodbye rio |
  |
| People expected plot from a mascot character show? Ha ha, oh wow. I went into this expecting gratuitous fanservice, and that's exactly what I got. I'm happy with the first episode and will continue to watch it. |
| Nothing but Fan-service..... Dropped..... |
 |
| I know people are gonna hate on me for this, but I couldn't help trashing it in my review. |
| Lol, at the morons who actually thought this would be anything worthwhile XD As for the series at hand, it was okay, to me. Of course, boring and rather silly at times, but it's nothing to bastardize like most in this thread have done so far. It's a cheap show for cheap thrills and that's that. ^_- |
| Oh well, this is one of those fan service base from a girl in a pachiko machine. Then again, Rio is one HOT MOTHER FUCKER! |
| yeo |
| What a weird way of playing poker. Dropped ofc. |
     |
| This show isn't great. To me, I found it quite boring. I dropped it, there are other anime shows this season I'll watch instead. |
