Read or Die

   15 May 2004, late evening

Prasanna and I watched Read or Die yesterday. Read or Die is an anime television series in Japan, Prasanna and I watched the 3 episode miniseries that started it off. The plot was truly bizarre. The lead character is Yumiko Readman, a girl who has the power to control paper. She is part of an elite military organization of librarians. Her first mission is to recover some rare books that were stolen from the Library of Congress by a clone of some ancient samurai. Seriously. Prasanna and I enjoyed the show, probably because it was so bizarre. The animation is pretty good to boot.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
