Someone is bent upon procuring a rare lost Beethoven manuscript and has enlistedia few of history's most extraordinary personalities, through stolen DNA, to aid in the endeavor. Readman and her fellow super-powered operatives must tangle with the likes of Tokugawa-Era scientist Gennai Hiraga, Aviation pioneer Otto Lilienthal, and 19th century entomologist Jean-Henri Fabre in a desperate race to find the books and save the world!

     A great series

    | | See all Greasey's reviews (67)

    Read or die, really is about agent paper the book addict, whom becomes an unlikely hero tavelling the world with her fellow agents, and saving the world in the process. The plot is hillarious, and agent paper in particular made me laugh. A very entertaining series.

     Great Value, Great Anime

    This anime was great, It's only 90 mintues long total, as there are three episodes and they're 30 minutes each. But it was quite an interesting anime. I felt that the anime could have been longer and could have maybe had more character development but on the whole I really enjoyed it and recommend it to any anime fan. And why not at the great value it's on sale at :D

     Don't let the first 'episode' fool ya!

    R.O.D. starts rather lightheartedly, as we follow Agent Paper (whose voice admittedly grates at the beginning) into this bizarre world of espionage.

    Soon, though, you'll come to realise that this mini series has more on offer than simply gorgeous art work and stunning animation. Characters like Miss Deep (don't get me started) and Agent Paper form an unlikely friendship and the plot soon thickens after that.

    The endgame of the big bad is extremely cool (in a morbid kind of way) and events build up for a kickass showdown (although the best fight occurs in the ocean - it's hard to explain).

    Through some solid character development and some nice twists the series gains momentum and hits you with a powerful, somewhat melancholic end. I almost choked up. Honest.

    For this price, it's worth checking out!
