Read Or Die

[Shane Roach]

Possibly old news... I love this series though. I just recently typed Jinbo Cho into Google Earth and it's a real place too! LOL!!!

I dunno if it is really a book haven, but I do know Houghton Mifflin Co appear to have offices of some sort there!

Anyone else a fan? Anyone else know anything about Tokyo?

well, i've only seen the movie, a long time ago, and loved it.

but yes, many things in ROD are real, mostly the i-jin villians, each one of them is a historical character (though without their awsome abilities).

Although I already had the OVA on DVD and saw the first few episodes of the TV series before it got licensed (I gave up at that point, same with Trinity Blood), I think I'm always going to associate it with this one video* I saw where the scene with the White House was set to "War of 1812" by Three Dead Trolls In A Baggie. That was priceless.

* It appeared in two places - the first was in a collection of shorts set to Arrogant Worms songs (into which it had been put by mistake). The second, and more notable and known appearance, was in AMV Hell 3 - another, far more massive and collaboratory project. Think of it like Robot Chicken for anime, except that the first two AMV Hells predate Robot Chicken by like six months.

I liked the main character. She was impecable.

I heard alot of ROD TV, watched the first three episodes but couldn't stand it. Might give the OVA a try someday.

I didn't think I was going to like it at the beginning of the first episode, but something about the characters just grabbed me. Meh, apparently I am something of a minority here concerning it though.

I actually have NOT seen the OVA. I will though sooner or later.

I was not into Anime for a long time. When I was last into it, Tank Girl (not the movie) and Vampire Hunter D were some of my favorites.

Anime is very hit and miss with me. Hard to sludge through a lot of it to find the things I like, and then as I say, things I like are not necessarily the things that most people find cool.

Anita? Or are you talking Yomiko Readman, from the original?

I liked Anita a LOT, and I am afraid I rather enjoy the ditzy blond bimbo sister a lot too, and even Maggie, the quiet tall one. The three of them together is what makes the show for me though.
