I really love both the animes, but I didn't like the voices for the OAVs nearly as much as I liked the ones for R.O.D. the TV.

I mean, Yomiko didn't even really have an accent! She's from England, isn't she? However, I DID find it amusing when I recognized Joker's OAV voice acter. lol

The fights and everything were as awesome as always (saw R.O.D. the TV b4 the OAVs), but I just wish it'd been longer. I was sad to find out that "Ikkyu" wasn't the guy who could breathe fire and use the Nyoi-bou staff (heh heh. Saiyuki memories). I found a pic of him and somone had said that guy was Ikkyu, Junior's father. Too bad... He was cool.

I love R.O.D, it's suc ha great series! ^^

Umm, "Dream or Die" was an episode of R.O.D -The TV-, where Anita is given the ultimatum to "dream or die", it's not an actual series or anything, though its name comes from the two meanings of the D in R.O.D.

I personally think Mr. Wong and other agents should have been explored more in the TV series, but whatever, it was still great ^^;;;

R.O.D was really good. I liked the show because it was full of action and comedy. I saw the movie but overlooked it so I missed out in some of the fillers that would explain some of the stuff that was going on in R.O.D that was on Anime Unleashed.

Ya, the anime was great, i used to watch it on G4 but i missed like the last couple eps. The movie was god, but i nvr got whether it was related to the anime or just like BASED on it

The movie had some fillers like the part where Ms. Paper burnt down the library and the boy that was working for the corpation that was trying to rule the world with knowledge. Man I loved that show but I can't remember some of the characters names.

Junior? Yomiko? Heck, I even remember Tony Nakajima... The last time I watched this was as it came out in Japan, but the names are goofy/memorable enough that I can't forget them ^^;;;

Yeah, thanks. What was the name of the assassin that became friends with Nenene?

Umm... In the show? I'm not sure who you mean, can you be more specific? Or is this in the manga/novel? 'Cause I don't have any of them....

She was the mother of the child that was helping the villians collect the books.

Read or Die OVA was awesome. I actually watched it and wrote down a review for a class I'm taking in highschool. The first time I saw it, I was pretty impressed with the variety of cool characters.
Also, that opening theme rocks out! d:

I've only seen a good 5 episodes of R.O.D The TV so I can't really comment that one is better than the other. But for the TV series to beat out of the OVA, it's going to have to be pretty good. The first couple episodes I enjoyed though so I'm sure it is probably just as good at least.

That's Nancy. She's the clone of Miss Deep, who died at the end of the movie.

My favorite of the paper sisters is Michelle, who is the oldest of the three. Her paper bow is very cool.

As for ROD vs ROD: The TV, I'd have to go with the original. Yomiko was the original reason I fell inlove with the OVA, and is the reason I stuck through to watch the series.

Forgot to mention Yomiko being the sexiest book worm ever. Main reason as to why I think glasses are kinda hot. The manga even influences that idea even more.

So many peoplze calling it a movie ;__;, it wasn't a movie, it was a 3 episode OVA that Adult Swim merged into a movie for the airing of it..
