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.
