Now I'm just saying now it was a while ago that i watched this anime so i might be confused with somethings, ok lets begin.

This anime is a whole mix of emotions for me, there were so many ups and downs that writing a proper review would be too long and hard so I'll try to keep this short.

Story
Though there were some parts to the story that didn't live up to the rest I still found it very entertaining and well thought out, the way they included the members from the past made a large input and when I look back on it i realize ... it was quite thrilling. 8/10

Characters, honestly I did really enjoy the use of characters throughout this anime. With your enemies that you learn to be against revealing that they are trying to help and their past ties with other characters (sorry for being so vague but it is hard not to spoil anything here) being surprising and keeping me happy. 7/10

Overall i think this anime had great potential but was completely ruined by one thing, repetition. It is as if the producers just couldn't think of anything so they would repeat the same kind of scenes 10 times over! (this part may contain mild spoilers) I mean really, they are not strong enough to do something so then boom! There are these half rings they get, yay they are stronger now, but oh no! Even more powerful enemies and boom! They need to fight to get the other half of the rings and wallah they are powerful enough now, but wait look even stronger enemies! Now they can use the rings to summon animals, good they can defeat them now.



OHWAIT even STRONGER enemies, its ok because now the ring evolved and is even BETTER, they can beat the enemies now!!!

Overall the incredible repetition of this anime destroyed it for me, it had so much potential to be a great watch but it just couldn't keep up.
6/10

Read or Die the TV (R.O.D for short) is definitely one of my favorite all-time animes which i have watched over and over.

The characters are amazing with each one possessing a power slightly altered to one another as to keep them all original. I do however feel that some of the characters were not used to their full potential such as Michelle who, although got a lot of screen time didn't use her powers as often as say Anita.

I was also quite surprised as the anime doesn't offer much fan-service (there is a little) but then one episode had nudity out of nowhere (not that ... that is a problem am i right?)

Overall i loved this anime and will probably continue to rewatch it in the future.
