R.O.D - Read or Die!!

Postby Kenshin17 » Sun Nov 14, 2004 3:29 pm

Is anyone a ROD fan?

I have seen the three volumes that are out and I liked it a lot. It's unique and funny. Betcha didn't know paper could stop bullets and cut metal. Beware the Paper Masters!
It does have a bit of fanservice especially in volume three, :mutter:
but aside from that volume I haven't seen anything that is to bad.

My favorite of the three sisters is Anita.

Yeah on the covers of some of the DVDs it does look like it's a little fanservicey :/

I do want to check this series out one day, as well as the OVA (which is one of the few Manga DVD titles that actually appeal of some interest to me..)

I really liked the OVA and the TV series has been interesting so far.

I think you are supposed to like Anita the best - she's the main character!

YEah, that's the only ROD I've seen as well. It ws entertaining, though I would have liked it a lot more if it didn't end so soon. That suggests good things about the TV series, though.

I liked the OVA a lot better, though the TV series has more development of characters and more background on the various paper powers.

Anyone notice the anti-American overtones in the OVA?

I haven't seen the OVA yet, but I liked the series so much I ordered the movie.
everyone I talk to said it was really good.

I saw the OVA on Cartoon Network, and my brain still hurts. @_@ But it was good.
Think happy thoughts.

I only saw the US dub, so I'm not forming a solid opinion yet. I hate how they take out important stuff just to mach the mouths to some really badly written words. But that's my opinion of most dubs. Although I've only seen a few episodes here and there, overall, I found the series interesting in a really artistic sort of way. The use of paper in that sense was very interesting.
