Post subject: Read or Die: an awesome anime
|
|
|

Well, a friend of mine let me borrow a copy of his newfoudn anime: Read or Die. It's really, really awesome, at least I thought so. Even FAK (who was at my house last night and this morning) thought it was pretty good, even without in-depth explanations of everything--so you know it's good. There's only a 3-episode OVA and a web site I found mentioned something about a sequal, Read or Dream, but didn't give any information on it. From what I can tell, it came out in 1999. Storywise, it acts a lot like Cowboy Bebop--it's just awesome. I order you all to watch it. Anyone know anything else about it? _________________ This space left intentionally blank.

I found it quite hilarious. It was fairly well-thought-out, but I think it wasn't supposed to be funny in a few places. Oh, well.
Overall, I would call it about the same quality, or a little less, than Ah! My Goddess. I would like to see a sequel. _________________ Krogoth uses Berserk.

I have heard things about this. Never really felt like checking it cause I'm to bust between Homework and watching other stuff. _________________ "I'm just very selective about the reality I choose to accept." - Calvin

And the fights were enitrely awesome for their non-shounen-ness. _________________ This space left intentionally blank.

You mean the selectively-corporeal hot-chick clone-on-clone action? Or the subtle advertisements for the paper industry? _________________ Krogoth uses Berserk.

Info: Read or Deam (or Shin Read or Die, or whatever....) is NOT going to feature The Paper, Drake, or Nancy. It MAY still have Joker as the head of the British Library, but it's unknown. Supposedly new characters....based on some new manga that came out. |
