Rio -Rainbow Gate- 5

Episode 5 ~  It wasn't a boat, A floating Casino.

Linda;  The new girl with strange tan lines. She's a robot and main computer of the Sky Resort. She's rather ditzy, clumsy and her head falls off quite often...

Rundown;  Owner has another new Casino destination, The Sky Resort. At first it just looked like a casino sitting on a mountain but as it turns out... it can fly.  After a tour of the new Casino, Linda ends up being controlled by the daily "bad guy" and challenges Rio to a Gate Battle.
      A Stupid Gate Battle.


The Battle;  Water Slides, The resort has the longest water slides in the world.  These aren't normally slides they go all throughout the floating Casino, snaking about and even going outside of it. You win the "battle" by being the first one to the bottom.
        There are many different ways to get to the bottom but they are all the same in length, just not in speed. Rio of course wins and Linda is returned to "normal".

The Bad Guy;  The one who hijacked Linda sounded like a little kid but, A blonde woman called Cartia shows up at the end in the Owners office. One of those two were the owner of the gate card.

Words;  Not sure why I keep watching this, It's sort of relaxing though.

Outfits!

Rio -Rainbow Gate- 3 & 4

Episode 3 ~  A haunted castle and flying chicken wings.... Why do I keep watching this?

Rundown;  The Owner bought an old Castle, An old haunted castle. Rosa is possessed by the ghost who is bent on bringing down the casino and... eating all it's chicken wings.

Rosa Canyon; I forgot about her in the first episodes, She's a Hollywood Actress and works at the Howard Resort as a Dealer.

The Episode Bad Guy;  Misery. A woman who loved gambling more then anything else, She opened a casino in the castle and one night... In a game of craps a high roller took her entire casino along with her chicken wings. Yes! He took her delicious chicken wings!

The Outcome;  Once Rio figures out that Rosa has been possessed by Misery {finding her hotel room full of chicken wings.} she confronts her. Misery hasn't just taken control of Rosa however, The two bunny girls are also doing her biddings.
      The game set, Of odds or evens.
      The terms, With the owner having been shoved into the magic acts saw-in-two box... Rio is forced to make it Rosa and the Owners freedom against the ownership of the Casino.
     For some strange reasons, Just as Rio is about to throw the dice she is attacked by flying chicken wings that only she can see. The rescue?  Misery takes a bite out of habenero tainted wings that she stole from a "fan" of Rosa's earlier in the show.
      The flying chicken wings gone, Rio rolls the dice... Misery having called Odds it lands on double ones to give 2.  Even wins!  The Ghost vanishes...everyone is saved...
       New Girl!

Rina; Not sure about her yet, She was the fake fan who Rosa/Misery the habenero spiked chicken wings. She's also a new dealer at the casino it seems and also a old friend{?} of Rios.

Words;  This is a light series, It's a little on the dumb side but slightly amusing. I've either gone blind to the fanservice or it seems to have lessened...

Episode 4 ~  Yuri senses tingling......


Rundown;  The new girl Rina is Rio's childhood friend, Rina's mother fell ill and her father always worked so her grandfather entrusted Rio's mother with her to "raise".  The two of them were separated when Rina went to study abroad.
     This episode was all over the place, Rio gave Rina a tour of the resort, Saved Ania from some Hard Bull man and they went to the Resorts Magician for a tarot reading. Apparently Rio is going on a trip soon.
    The whole skeet shooting thing was....um...yea... ;.;   Rina is a bit harsh in her ways unlike Rio.

Risa/Lisa{?};  Rio's mother, She's the only Dealer to have gathered all 13 of the Gate Cards.


The Game;  The "bad guy" of the episode wasn't much of a deal, Hard Bull shows up and harasses Ania a bit only to be beaten by Rio in some strange drink machine game.  So.... The Owner set up a "game".
      Rio Vs Rina in Skeet Shooting, Every time one of them missed a disc a piece of their clothing was disabled. Rina was a bit skeevy with her clothing choices, Rio's shirt button was the first to go and then her shorts support.
    Each girl missed two, Rio only took Rina's hat and armband however...

The End;  New Mystery Woman with Bull Man and it seems Rio will be going on a trip.

Linda;   New girl!  Seems like a Robot and has to do with the new boat?

Rio -Rainbow Gate- 1 & 2

What this show is about...

Episode 1 ~   An introduction episode of sorts with a fairly stupid plot.

We meet...

Rio; "The Goddess of Victory".  She's a dealer at the Howard Resort, her very presence is said to bring luck to the gamblers. It's also shown that she is quite able to defend herself in a physical fight.

Mint and Choco

Mint Clark; A little girl who is brought to the resort by her casino addicted grandfather.
     Choco; Mints stuffed teddy bear.

The Owner; He's a little strange. He seems to like putting Rio in embarrassing outfits and flaunting her around.

The Episodes Bad Guy; Orlin Dunhill.  He wants Mints bear... He collects stuffed animals and believes hers to be a special one from Belgium.

The Outcome; Rio plays a game of cards {poker} against Dunhill, If she wins he leaves and if he wins he gets the bear and Rio will strip naked for everyone to see.  After a strange, mushroom induced {not really} animation sequence Rio wins, with the weakest poker hand even...  Turns out that the bear wasn't even made in Belgium and that Dunhill just has a terrible eye.

Costumes!

Episode 2 ~  We get an opening song, a new character and some more background on the world.

Ania Helsing ; A new dealer from Russia that Rio is supposed to mentor, She's pretty good with the cards all ready but she's incredibly clumsy.  She makes an utter mess of the casino, knocking over machines, glasses, wheels..

Gates;  These are 13 rare cards that the International Casino Dealers Guild distributed around the world to dealers known as Gate Holders. Gate Holders challenge each other by putting up their own Gate cards, Known as Gate Battles.  The person who gets all 13 cards will be known as the strongest dealer in the guild. Rio has one of these cards; given to her by a man she played a game for a while back.

The Episode Bad Guy; Elvis, He is adored by numbers and women {he has a harem}.  He's also a Gate Holder and he's come to the Howard Resort to challenge Rio to a Gate Battle.

Yey! Guy Candy Too!

The Battle;  Set up by the Owner of the Howard Resort it's a giant roulette wheel, Ania being elected the dealer by the Boss Man.  Elvis allows Rio to choose if she wants to be the thrower or the better, She chooses  better.
      Elvis using his knowledge of numbers does a few test throws of the balls, calling out each number before it comes to rest with 100% accuracy. When it comes down to the real thing however.... after a strangely placed volley ball match... He fails.  Not noticing the band aid that he received from Ania {after he hurt himself helping clean up her broken glasses} stuck to the ball as he threw it.
     Red One.
  
      Rio wins the Gate Battle, She receives Elvis' card and he leaves in shame without his harem of women.

Words;  This Anime is strange.... It's major fanservice and this second episode was very messy and random. However... I may keep watching it.  It's relaxing and nice to look at, the animation is actually quite pretty...

hehehe, Giant One!
