ROD is one of my all-time favs, although I don't see it referenced very much anymore in anime circles. Fan communities seem to have a short attention span. Anyway, great thread. Love Anita, and some of her classmates as well.
feather:
ROD the TV isn't Read or Dream. It's a crossover between the two mangas Read or Dream and Read or Die.
Also, what is Read or Dream? I don't know anything about the manga this series is based on, I only know the OVA and anime TV series.
