Read or Die TV LE News
March 26th, 2004Anime on DVD reports on the perfect gift for the animaniac librarian or bibliophile in your life, the Limited Edition of the Read or Die TV Box:
The LE version will not be a traditional Artbox. Instead, it will be a faux-leather book with DVD trays instead of pages with room for the rest of the ROD the TV series. Both the LE DVD Book (as we will refer to it) and the regular edition will ship with limited edition two-sided pencil boards that feature the artwork from the R2 cards. [via ANN]
It comes out in June.
The three-part R.O.D. OAV (Original Animation Video) is a fun, pulpy anime about a secret agent for the British Library with very unique powers who is charged with recovering a stolen book to save the world! Little Toy Robot was introduced to it by Tangognat, who also really digs it. The TV series is supposed to be a little different, but he can’t wait for it anyway.

So far (based on the first 3 episodes) the tv series features 3 sisters from Hong Kong (with unique powers) who come to Japan to be bodyguards for a famous author. It looks like some of the characters from the R.O.D. OVA will be appearing eventually :)
