![]() Honestly, if the series had just stuck with this slice of life type formula it might have been tolerable to watch. Nothing in this anime is really meant to be taken seriously and everything, at least early on, revolves around putting Rio into embarrassing outfits and playing ridiculous games. The setting in Rainbow Gate is a whimsical and over the top look into the casino world. You can understand why the casino patrons would enjoy having her around but I never could for the life of my figure out why the casino owner himself would. Apparently she has some kind of power that gives people luck and causes them to win when she’s around. Our leading character is Rio, a popular dealer and kind of the mascot of the casino she works in, Howard Resort. Rio's story is, as expected, dreadfully terrible. I didn’t have much in the way of expectations for this series but after a somewhat promising start things started to come apart fairly fast. Rio: Rainbow Gate! breaks the norm by being based on a pachinko game, and it shows. One of the things find I generally like about anime is that they almost always have their basis in manga or novels, at least giving it the chance of having a coherent story. ![]()
