Synopsis:
Yomiko Readman Loves to read books.Alot of books, More books than you could possibly count. In fact they even can cause death if they fell on you. This one girl is known as "THE PAPER" and is a special agent for the brittish library. For very good reasons for she has the power to manipulate paper in ways you never thought possible. Now Trouble and chaos is erupting over just one book.
The R.O.D TV series continues from the Read or Die OVA, but takes place 6 years later. Characters from both Read or Die and Read or Dream are incorperated into the series. Three paper master sisters known as Michelle, Maggie and Anita must protect a writer from danger called nenene Sumiregawa. However they run into far more trouble then they ever expected when Nenene's old friend comes back from nowhere and when strange military men start chasing after them.
Personal Opinion:I really Did not like this anime. In fact I hated it when I first started watching it. That was only beacuse I didnt understand anything about it and I didnt get to watch it from the beggining. After I saw this anime and started watching It more I finnaly began To understand what It was about and That was when I found out just how good it was.
I Really Like the story and the characters. It is nothing Like any-Other anime I have ever seen. Alot of anime I have seen Like zoids and the 1000 diffrant gundam seires are all the same thing and there is just too much anime just like it. However this is one of the few Anime I seen before that Is nothing like anything else which makes it all that much more interesting.
The paper magic is Really awsome. Never in my wildest dreams I have ever thought that you could do something like that with paper. If you havnt seen this series im not going to spoil it for you. As for the Characters I just love Maggie and Anita Dont care much for the other sister. Each sister has their own diffrant style of paper manipulation. This I can tell you. Maggie Can make Creaures out of paper....one of them you will be surprised. Anita just holds paper and uses it was something to throw or even cut through doors and stone/steel walls with. and Michelle can make a paper bow and arrow which she is a very good shot.
Music is about average in this anime and so is its animation style but that does not take away from how good this anime is and From its movie and the seires itself interacting with each other and how the movie comes first than how.
Warning Minor spoiler below
The main characters from both meet each other.
