nocarenameI've been watching Rio -Rainbow Gate!- on Crunchyroll. It's not what I'd call riveting, but there looks like there might be a plot hiding somewhere behind all the fan service. A small one anyway. Also, credit where it's due, the fact that the whole thing is set at a casino does a lot to handwave the outfits that show up.
Moving on, I think that most of the people who watch anime are, by now, familiar with the battle aura you get around the tough fighters and it's ilk. This show marks what I for me is the first time I've seen a luck aura, but the main character is a dealer, so sure.
And since there are limits to how tensely you can animate a game of cards we'll have that represented by a different game that involves skimpy outfits - like beach volleyball. Fine. I'm all right with that too.
But what I'd like to hear is if anyone can explain why the main character has an aura full of plants. Seriously, she turns the juice up and the next thing you know the screen is full of vines and leaves. Anyone?
