 Awesome, 2008-09-04
I saw this ova on cartoon network a while back and could never find a copy at my local video stores, so I finally broke down and bought it off of amazon. If you like anime you should really watch this. It's short, it's fun, it's well animated, and the story isn't half bad. It may not be for everyone but it is one of my favorites.

 Fun and Fresh, 2008-04-22
When I first watched this I had already seen R.O.D. the TV, the animated series in the same world as this OVA. And since I enjoyed the series so much, I naturally had high hopes. I must say, though, I was a bit disappointed.
The voices are different.
That bugged me quite a bit for the first half of the movie. I was used to hearing what I thought were the perfect voices for the characters in R.O.D. the TV only to have them changed sompletely in Read or Die. I mourned the loss of Yomiko's accent.
But after I got over that (and started changing the voices in my head) it really is an enjoyable movie. The plot was intruiging enough, the action was well-orchestrated, and the music was fitting. Sure, it's not as deep as Ghost in the Shell or as aloof and jazzy as Cowboy Bebop, but it has its own charm. More than worth at least a viewing, maybe a few.
The voices won't bother you if you've never seen R.O.D. the TV. And they might not even if you have seen it. They're not bad--really. They're just different and that turned me off to it at first, but I do like the movie quite a bit. I recommend it highly. A solid four-star anime film. Long-live the Paper.
Must See!, 2008-03-27
First of all, I must tell you that I'm not an anime fan. But I can appreciate a great piece of art when I see it. Read Or Die is one of them! I was blown away with the wonderful animation, imaginative story, delicious characters, and the soundtrack! A friend of mine adamantly recommended this, and for once, I'm glad I listened to her. Watch, or die. =)

 Its alright, 2007-12-17
If you came looking for an intelligent anime that would make you think. Then you came to the wrong place. I'm not going to dive too deep into this anime and try to front like there is more to it. Because it's not. It doesn't have a good story or plot to me. Read or Die's strongest point is the action and that's it.
The main character Agent Paper has an extraordinary talent. She can control paper and use it as either a weapon or some form of equipment. She partners up with another female lead that phases through all objects. Think Kitty Pride from the X-Men. In fact this anime seemed exactly like an X-men episode. There's supervillians with powers and a mad plan. There is lots of action and some blood. The animation is average and I did not like the soundtrack.
If you enjoyed watching the X-Men series or you just love action in general. This is your flick right here. I'm not saying this is a bad anime at all. Only average to me but it aroused my curiosity to check out the TV series. I read alot of good things about it and it's supposedly deeper than this OVA. Read or Die is three episodes and the DVD is loaded with previews. Get this if action is your thing. It does deliver on that end.
