| No wonder he would complain. i watched the last 10 minutes of the show in 10 seconds and didn't like it. I did this so I could understand what was happening and it looks like this: hot chick + casino + card battle. Don't like the show so im skipping it. |
| Honestly I didnt expect much from an anime based off a character from a slot machine anyways. |
| Wrong series =) |
 |
| like it matters, show is stupid |
| It's not a good show from the start. |
"Your taste is shit cause you like what I hate. Believe me I have 1000 cartoons that I rated with less than 5."  |
| this show was screwed up . Thats what you get when the main character is from a SLOT Machine ! xD |
 |
| I can see where he's coming from, Rosa Canyon basically repeated the same thing twice in this episode. But yeah, apart from this detail (not a small one, mind you, it did feel very weird), the rest was as random/over-the-top as the first episode was and that's precisely what makes Rio fun, isn't it? |
cr4sian_phil said: So...this isn't about children's card games? No, It's anime T&A pure and simple |
| Not surprised, didn't look that impressive any way. Glad I decided to skip on it. |
 |
| I don't get it, what was incomprehensible about it? I thought it was just a regular episode. Was it the beach volley part? Maybe the storyboard writer wanted to have only a beachvolley game and didn't like the roulette. |
 |
| Girls and clothes randomly turning into numbers, story that doesn't make a lick of sense, a girls clumsiness that defies the laws of gravity, characters randomly appearing out of nowhere, a battle that switched immediately from the casino to the beach without any explanation..... This is beyond incomprehensible. This is chaos. |
 "I always take life with a grain of salt, ...plus a slice of lemon, ...and a shot of tequila." |
| *just watched it out of curiosity after reading this* Ah well, it wasn't any worse than episode 1. Fail series is fail no matter what they do. |
| Im pretty sure this anime had no real storyline to it in the first place...Its interesting to watch nonetheless though |
 |
| lol like it would of made a difference. i watch this and come out more confused about life then i have from any other anime. srsly they should jsut cancel this while they still ahead |
dtshyk said: So is he seriously implying the first episode made sense? Imazaki Itsuki, the storyboard writer of Rio: Rainbow Gate! Episode 2, complained in his twitter that the episode didn't make any sense. el oh el. |

| It wouldn't make sense anyway. |

Iilia said: I think he's complaining that they are basically just taking little dips from his script and then just adding random crap. If you just take random excerpts from the script and move them around and add random shit in between, well... obviously the script loses structure.dtshyk said: So is he seriously implying the first episode made sense? Imazaki Itsuki, the storyboard writer of Rio: Rainbow Gate! Episode 2, complained in his twitter that the episode didn't make any sense. el oh el. The fact it is the storyboard writer who is calling them out for this is basically saying the director and it's animation team are not interested on the story itself but rather they WANT it to be imcomprehensible. If he's not just lying to grab publicity then I'm sure he's not gonna work on the story afterwards. Not like anime series tend to have just 1 writer for the whole season. |
 |
| It's not like you're watching the show to understand something. Rio's boobs, that's enough. |
| I'm going to watch this. Card battles and hot girls in a plot that doesn't make sense sounds like entertainment gold to me, for all of the wrong reasons, of course. What I'm not going to do is watch this using Crunchyroll, as tempting as not having to waste hard drive space on it sounds. Only good anime like Hourou Musuko should be watched legally so that producers and licensors get a statement of intent. |

| i don't take this series seriously at all if u want to have some fun with it, watch it with a friend and poke fun at it |
 |
| That is preposterous! How could I not know Japan has twitter?! |
| its not like anyone would watch Rio for the plot anyways... just saying |
| It didn't seem any more incomprehensible than the first episode to me. |
| I'm not seeing what's so incomprehensible about the episode. There's a tournament, challenge shows up, they fight, Rio wins, The End. Plus fanservice. If him/people are complaining about the numbers popping up out of nowhere, then I just have to facepalm. It's Elvis' ability he said he had in the beginning of the episode. He can calculate, analyze, and determine numbers. That's why he can predict where the roulette ball goes, he does the math in his head. The numbers are just there for trippy visuals and artsy reasons. Might as well ask why characters seem to sweat one large sweatdrop at random sometimes. How the heck was this episode hard to follow? It's completely formulamatic. They're in a tournament, challenger shows up, Rio beats him, all is well. I'm going to spoil the next episode and say the next will be the exact same thing. If it's the random volleyball thing, then it's just a visual metaphor for the roulette game and how Rio fights her opponent; making it more exciting than just watching a ball roll around. Serving the ball is her having her way, while being trapped/attacked by the numbers is a metaphor for Elvis' calculations and statistics working in his favor. In the end, Rio's luck gets her the win. Not hard at all to follow. |

DUH .... even the storyboard writer says the opposite |

McRib said: Was Rio comprehensible to begin with? Nah, actually what make is so, is that it's purely a fan service based on Rio's hot body. |
| yeo |

 |
| Stop using my storyboard sporadically! (Yes, I am going to be that guy.) |
 This is a signature, You are a reader of this signature reading that the signature is telling you that you are a person reading the signature telling you that the person who made this signature wanted you to know that you read that this signature is being read by the person who is reading the signature telling them all about the signature being read by you |
| Lol. Well it makes perfect sense to me. |

You'd hate it too if you had taken your time to get the whole episode in place then they just scratch all your work and just make crap up. |

MysticHrist said: Episode 2 is just plain stupid. Next. Episode 3? Fanservice galore. A complete revision would do it some good. I think. Nope, this anime is about 3 things, fanservice, interesting duels against beautiful and/or insanely rich people to get 13 Gate Cards, and even more fanservice. |

No, it`s about more then that. If you`ve actually paid attention to something other then the boobs of the girls you`d notice that there is actually some plot in there :P Plot: What is Rio`s goal with those Gate Cards? Who is that mysterious lady at the end of ep 4? But I don`t care that much about the plot in this, I mostly watch it for the fanservice and the loli XD |
