Revision as of 17:52, 14 March 2007

R.O.D: The TV (2003) is a 26-episode TV anime series about the adventures of three paper-manipulating sisters, Michelle, Maggie and Anita, who became the bodyguards of Nenene Sumiregawa, a famous Japanese writer. The series is a sequel to the "Read or Die" OVA. Its official title, written precisely, is "R.(period)O.(period)D the TV". likely a catch-all acronym referring to the inclusion of the three paper sisters, characters from the related Read or Dream manga.

When R.O.D: The TV first aired in Japan (from September 9, 2003 through March 16, 2004) it ran on pay per view television. Though an airing of the reanimated telvision version did take place on a non pay per view station (from October 15, 2003 through March 18, 2004) only the first twenty episodes were aired. In the United States, all 26 episodes were aired on the cable station G4TechTV, between October 5, 2004 and May 27, 2005.
