----------------------------------------
I LOL'd at Ania's clumsiness, knocking down slot machines and giant wine glasses.

Gate battle seems interesting. Roulette with 14 pound bowling balls. I wonder if there is some sort of plot behind collecting the cards.

Didn't understand how the roulette battle suddenly turned into a volleyball match, though.

Ania has the clumsiness of Kaho from Sister Princess, she trips every few seconds.

The Gate Battle was good, Elvis' powers also provided some ecchi with creative censoring.

As for the gate cards there has to be a plot behind collecting them, most likely something similar to Yu-Gi-Oh, Sonic, or Dragonball.

I'm guessing the volleyball match out of nowhere was the main incomprehensible part. The only other thing I noticed was that one bunny girl said "Wow, what a big crowd!" twice, lol.
You've come a long way, baby.

This episode was even worse then last week.
And what is with those names using Hellsing and Elvis can't the think of something original besides Hellsing is not a Russian name.
A girl who is blond and clumsy is not original either.
If this show only needs to have it from fan service then at least do a proper job at that because it fails at that as well.

Also to the people who said something about Dead or Alive, there is no character named Rio in Dead or Alive you must have been mistaken with Ayane.

Well the episode wasn't interesting to me. The cumsyness was sort of overdone; i don't necessarly hate Ania but so far not liking her either.

Another failure shows up and loses to Rio when he is betrayed by his ability. I don't mind fan service but randomly removing Ania's and Rio's close during the bet scene was random. Also did anyone else see the numbers randomly turn into a black chick?

Although this episode was better than the last one, it far surpassed in ecchi many things such as Ania's breast/body form, Rio's body in a revealing swimsuit almost the same as Shirai at one point in Railgun and when Elvis chose that Goddess with numbers, which was almost all revealed except for nipples detail in the spoiler(NFSW)
That being said other than the ecchi the episode itself was for the intro of Ania from Russia, a clumsy person and Elvis whom I ROFL my ass as well as Ania's last name Hellsing, WTF? I am glad that Rio won the match and is 11 Gate cards away.

Some minor details people have omitted, noticed the picture next to Rio's Gate card? If you look closely it tells you that the blond chick in the OP is actually Rio's childhood friend. The Gate card is going the be the best because its number is 7 and that is the luckiest number in the casino world. Rio's mom is hot and her beauty point makes it that much better on her, too bad Rio does not have one.

I have never seen a car with a middle steering wheel in it. Elvis IRL is way better than his impostor in this anime but from the looks of the situation looks to me it could have been what Makoto may have been. Don't know it just popped in my head. I also knew Ania would trip with those drinks right away although she does have good luck to make Rosa win. I think I found the the biggest breasted girl that reveals it!

i LOL at Elvis.. especially his numbers.. i'm always good with fanservice and all but the thing that's bothering to me when watching this is when they suddenly change the theme just to give more unnecessary fanservice.. it suddenly turned into beach volleyball or everyone became numbers (last ep, it's the surreal card world of queens).. anyway, i'm not going to drop any shows anyway and since it is in the unusual non-school setting, might as well continue..

The thing is that it's exactly why they did the volleyball, it's for the fan service and the numbers too, what was blessing is to see Ania's body in it since it was not shown before since she came only in this episode.

Also looks like next episode's theme is exactly, fear. Can't wait to see that one being shown.

Oh nice one friend! Guess it shows only the rich like known dealers can afford cars like these as it looks like exotic cars only have nowadays. It explains Elvis was surely a damn rich person.

The plot is Rio getting the other gate cards. Not interesting but will suffice to keep me watching.

Also, that Elvis sure is a mathematician and physicist.

The anime is really bad so why? She must have cast a spell on me.

Truth is i have high level of tolerance for bad shows that aren't boring(yeah it's bad but not slow and boring), full of moe and taking place at a school academy.

Elvis didn't die. He just got lypo and ran away to a casino island. Why does he think it's safe to put those cards infront of his car. I don't know the cards name because I was intranced in the intriguing plot. Seriously the plot isn't half bad. Especially for a person in NV.
What a great team. The most luckiest women in the world with the most unluckiest women in the world. Then I see Ania helping that celib win in the slots,and I kinda take it back.
Seriously no wonder the story board writer had a problem with this ep. It's like Yu Gi Oh with boobies.

I don't know about you but I think that was a waste of a news story although you are right about the nipple shot being in the BD/DVDs, well at least there is proper censorship and no light of evil or black lines/boxes.

Thank god they didn't do another whole wedding march thing. I'm glad they changed things up, I thought it would be another repetitive anime. I guess it still is, in a sense, so far but I think at some point Rio will end up losing her luck or whatever.

Banana hammocks on anime characters are just as unattractive as real life. ;)

As long as I don't take this show all too seriously, it's actually quite fun. The plot leaves much to be desired, but it's fun to watch all the various people Rio may gamble against. I hope they introduce more realistic elements to gambling though.
