Ooh, ooh, she is the senpai to two apprentice dealers, one a young man who thinks he knows everything but still learned the lessons that Rio teaches thanks to her pure spirit, and a young woman who has a serious case of hero worship ...
... so that (just like Sora no Woto), the yuri channels make it a yuri series without the script writers having to lift a finger in terms of writing any yuri into the plot.
I'm so thrilled to see signs that anime is branching out from just the sad business of pandering to the fetishes of anime otaku into the sad business of pandering to the obsessions of gambling addicts.

Did you just compare ANN's anticipation to CR's anticipation? You do realize that any anime, and any episode (even recaps) hardly get a rating lower than 4 stars out of 5 at CR, don't you?
Like I said somewhere else. Picking the bottom 8 from ANN's list rather than the top 4 would be far more lucrative for them. Which is why they hardly get any big shows unless it's from their investor.

Actually, recaps do tend to get mainly 3 star ratings most of the time less.

But they would prefer to "pick" all 12. Indeed, given fair license terms all around, more lucrative than either the top four or the bottom eight would be half of the top four and half of the bottom eight.
Why would we assume that they do not express an interest in any teen or older anime going to broadcast? In that case, looking for a "selection" strategy on the Crunchyroll side is looking for a pattern that isn't there ~ their simulcast season would be driven by which production committees want to agree to streaming on Crunchyroll at a royalty rate that Crunchyroll can afford.

For the fact that Naruto had recaps for the past 2-3 months (I assume, because I haven't seen past the first 2 recaps), and they all got 3.5 or 4 stars. Still, 3/5 is too much for a recap. Recaps deserve a straight 0 unless new material is added (like LOL Heroes did with its second recap).

No, I'm saying that picking the bottom 8 from ANN's survey is more lucrative to them than picking the top 4. I hardly consider the top 4 from ANN's survey something aimed exclusively at an older audience, since the same can be said about the bottom 8. Mostly for financial reasons, of course. Since CR's ratings are generally high for about everything, it's quite safe to assume that there will be a few on the bottom more popular at CR than a few on the top, and since the ones on the top seem to be the more expensive ones, that would mean CR will be pocketing a lot more than they would by taking the risk with the top 4 at ANN.
It feels like I went in circles with this last paragraph, so I hope it at least delivered the point.

But since Crunchyroll won't offer a higher royalty rate than they can afford, any from the top 4 that they get will be as lucrative per view as any from the bottom 8, and will generate more views ~ both directly, and indirectly via audience that comes for one of the top four and stays around to also watch some more.
Other than One Piece, I don't see any strategic reason why they would splash out any substantial up front fee for any particular anime ~ if the production committee expects the anime to be popular, they can expect more views, and so expect more royalty income.

Exactly. I guess we've come to an agreement.

It actually seems like it will have a decent plot/storyline. And, some nice ecchi/fanservice, I wasn't expecting that. But, I guess I should have, seeing as she's a slot machine mascot :p Wasn't even planning to check this out, but the trailer made me change my mind. And, just another excuse to use my CR premium so I'm all in now!

James Bond was the best franchise doing that than anything else.

Y'mean, enjoy Playboy more than Penthouse.

... hmm, 13 cards, 13 weeks in a Japanese quarterly anime season. There's a startling coincidence.
I predict a gripping drama involving a card a week and improbable female physiology physics. |
I once helped out as a dealer during the university's annual winter festival. We had a competition on who could screw the most people.
Nah, the key for dealers is to have the most people betting on their table. So ya can't do that if you're screwing the bettors.

From Rio's character design, it seems like that strategy would attract a lot of punters to her table. Unless you mean "screw the most people" as in "rip off".

Because hentai is disgusting! I'll take my sexualized cartoon girls without the rape, thank you...
This is the one I said I'll check out specifically because the hot chick on the cover. Whether or not I stick with it... well, we'll see. The Promo for it made it seem fun.

You're implying that all hentai features rape situations, which isn't true.
You should broaden your horizons and read some excellent consensual ero manga, like "Cheerful Eros Project" or "Swing-out Sisters" or something.

Can't it be both?

I don't mind fanservice but the premise doesn't really look all that interesting. I do love poker however so I might check it out since I have a CR sub and if I'm particularly bored one day.
Hey, at least Rio's boobs jiggle at the same time and a realistic amount.
It's kinda sad I noticed that... >_>
