I just read all of the Negima! manga and the supplementary material mentioned Read or Die. Apparently Akamatsu is a fan and a manga artist that helped with Read or Dream helped design the character Yue.Random name drop time.
Does anyone remember the anime franchise Read or Die? Both the OVA and it's follow up "R.O.D The TV"?
Ya know, the series with "Yomiko Readman" the "sexy librarian" looking character?
R.O.D The TV has long been my favorite anime TV series and in particular because of the English dub, which I actually think made the show better (and fun fact, the VA for Bayonetta voices Yomiko Readman in the TV series)
It's pretty lonely to be a fan of this these days, which is understandable as there's not been anything new released in the west for it in over a decade, I keep dreaming about some sort of new anime, which I heard was "being considered" in 2016, though nothing has been said since.
I'd even settle for English translations of the original Light Novel series, which I think would be feasible if the series weren't so forgotten in the US.
Was just curious if anyone else remembers it.
