1. Tell me one thing you love about me.
2. Tell me two things you love about yourself.
3. Look through the comments ~ when you see someone you know, tell them three things you love about them.
4. Do this in your journal so I can tell you what I love about YOU - and if you've already done it, tell me so, so that I can go back and give you some love. (Optional, of course.)

Date: 2004-10-25 10:05 pm (UTC)I went to Amazon to check out the OAV (which I ended up buying) and the review on the TV series was less than stellar:
Although based on the same manga, the broadcast series of Read or Die is very different in tone from the original OVA. Novelist Nenene Sumiregawa hasn't written anything in four years--since her friend Yomiko Readman (the heroine of the OVA) disappeared. When terrorists attack Nenene at a signing in Hong Kong, her publisher hires the King Sisters--Michele, Maggie, and Anita--as bodyguards. Like Yomiko, they're "paper masters," using magic to forge powerful weapons out ordinary foolscap. None of the characters is particularly likable: Nenene fusses, Michele is a ditz, Maggie rarely says anything, and Anita is a loudmouth brat. Aside from brief action sequences in episodes 1 and 4, the characters spend most of their time lying around, which makes for dull viewing. R.O.D. the TV ranks among the odder anime series of recent years.
They must be showing the OAV on Adult Swim because the two people I know who watched the first episode mentioned the Yomiko character.
