How many people do you think are going to watch a show at 2:58AM (FujiTV Broadcast) unless you love anime?

And how many people are actually going to pay 600 yen ($6.00) to just see one prescreening on pay per view (SkyPerfectTV satellite broadcast), unless you love anime?

[yakkervitch]

Yah, that's what I thought. Thanks for answering the questions I had!

[Rebochan]

Dangit, the fansubs are good and all, but I'm itching for these to hit R1 DVD already. The pace is killing me, agh! At least I'm always in suspense though...

is it true that ROD the TV has just been licensed? If so, when and by whom?

The series was licensed before the first episode was released, or quickly after. Im not sure by who though. I'm sure www.animenfo.com would have it listed if you do a search for the show.

It is not true that ROD TV has just been licensed.

It was licensed a while ago before the series even started.

If you look at the AnimeSuki License List (link available on the front page of AnimeSuki) you will find this entry

• Read or Die (TV series)
  Licensed by Pioneer as announced at Anime Expo 2003.

Does anyone know where i can get episode summaries of ROD the TV? They only have episodes 1-18 so I would like to know what happens in the rest of the series. The anime series I'm pretty sure should be almost done by now.

No, 19-20 just aired, and i dont know of any place that has summaries for PPV channels. Normally Newtype would have them but they are following the tv series.

[Rias]

I just watched the raws for 19-20...all I can say is...21-22 hurry up!!! (which means I have to wait another 2 week or so...)

Spoiler:

Still can't believe they would kill off everyone besides Anita and Yomiko...unless Junior at the end saved them? And it's weird how they wiped Hisami's memories or something...

Actually I just thought about the forshadow scenes back in Epsiode 1, at least michelle and maggie should be still alive...

[chamelean75]

I just saw episode 19. It ended in a huge cliff hanger. There are only 26 episodes so I know that starting now, the action is gonna get really intense and a lot of the past, memories both good and bad and truths will be revealed. I can't wait. I hope they come out with episode 20 very soon.

If you thought ep19 ended in a huge cliff hangar wait till u see ep20. It'll leave you dooling for more.

Spoiler:

lol theirs no way they would've killed everyone except Yomiko-san and Anita-san but they make it seem so. I figure Junoir-san planned it all along and everyone in that helicoptor are safe somewhere on ground. As for Hisa-chan losing her memory I find that a little weird. Why would they erase her memory of Anita-san? it just doesn't make any sense. Well anyways, those episodes were awesome can't wait for ep21+.

Also theirs something else thats really bothering me. It's way at the end of ep20 where Apparently Joker-san is looking at a paper with the photo ID's of Junoir-san and Anita-san. What interest me is the title of that paper which was oddly enough labeled Alternative Plan. It seems Joker-san is going with an alternative plan since he thinks Junoir-san and the rest of them are dead. If I'm not making any sense it's because I'm so tired, I think I better get to sleep now. ZzZzZzZz heh I'm losing it.

Spoiler:

Apparently, Hisa-chan is a test subject of Universal Language project. Wendy-kun has mentioned that schools will be included in the upcoming test.

Spoiler:

Yeah, I think that's what's going to happen... Probably Anita will be the candidate for the "new Gentleman" now that Junior's uh, "dead" (since Anita's pictures there)

I doubt any of them are dead though... That wouldn't make much sense... There's also the saying that "if there ain't no body, there ain't no death" or whatever

[hunterx]

I'm really getting sick of these endings, why do they have to end on such depressing notes

Just shows how good the series is because if you didnt care about the characters you wouldnt get depressed.

[Rebochan]

DAHHHH! The suspense...suspense...ARGH! *whacks head on keyboard* Episode 20 just tossed everything I thought was going to happen out the window.

Spoiler:

I had totally forgotten about those first couple of scenes in the first episode. Wow, I wonder if Anita's going to die later? They showed her in what looked like a puddle of blood...Awwww...they'd better not. This series could be one hell of a depressing ending. Or it could end like the OAV - somewhat sad, but ultimately happy.

Only six more to go. The wait is killing me.

Really, goes to check ep1 again....

Spoiler:

Man they better not kill her off, I'll be so pissed.

[Rebochan]

I don't know why this didn't occur to me before, but...

Spoiler:

The characters probably are still alive. We've still got too many plot threads to resolve that involve them. In particular, we've yet to find out why Drake and Maggie are so close. I doubt we'll be left hanging just yet.

And yea, if they do kill Anita, I'll be upset...I'm still hoping for a happy ending for Junior, who just might be quite dead since we know they can monitor him and they would probably know already if he was alive.

This series has me hanging like nothing else this season. Depending on how it ends, it might be my favorite of the new series from this season. And as it already is fighting with Bottle Fairy, that's quite a mantle.

They aren't really that close, she just has the same name as Drake's daughter. As such he feels some connection to her, but that's it. The Maggie he's talking about being very important to him isn't the same one. There might be more to it, but I don't think so.
Anyway I can't wait for the next episodes. Too bad it takes longer than other series, but at least we get 2 at once. This is the best series still running, though FMA comes close at times.

[brightman]

OK the raws for Eps 21 and 22 are out... I have to say, they just love ending this show's episodes in cliffhangers don't they?

Spoiler:

Quite expectedly, no one died except for that unnamed guy who piloted the helicopter... But once again we get tons of great character development... Wondering what Junior knows about the three sisters though... We'll have to wait half a month for the answer...
