Read or Die (3 episodes)

release year: 2001-2002
genre: animated fantasy/action
viewing setting: home streaming 9/28/25

synopsis: A variety of unusual government agents attempt to thwart a plot to use evil music to kill most of the world's population.

impressions: This was...interesting. And unusual. Among other things, it features a female book fan who has some sort of power over paper, a lady who can become immaterial, an evil warlord who clones people to serve him, a henchman with great electrical powers, and more. One thing that I felt was missing was an explanation of how the main girl even knew she had powers, or whether she'd ever met the other people. At any rate, it was a short 3-episode series that felt a bit incomplete; this may bear further investigation.

acting: n/a but the voice acting was good

final word: Odd but interesting and entertaining.
