Talk:R.O.D the TV

message: Title should be 'R.O.D the TV', has never officially been called "Read Or Die: The TV" (presumably since it's a sequel to both the Read or Die OVAs and the Read or Dream Manga). Shiroi Hane 21:31, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

message: I don't think it was ever hinted at until after we meet Yomiko that Joker and the others were involved in her downfall, just that it was sometime around the fall of the British Empire and the destruction of the British Library that she also vanished. Sometime right after the I-Jin Incident. Is this wrong? I made an edit to reflect this idea but this is right isn't it? We only learn the truth after meeting her and before then we just see Joker as evil, but have no clue until Yomiko tells us that he was directly (indirectly) responsible for her disppearance?

message: *The final line in the story, "The Paper's in her heaven, and all is right with the world," is a pun of Robert Browning's "God's in his heaven, all's right with the world" because in Japanese, "kami" can mean both "Paper" and "God." Browning's line is quoted by Anne as the concluding sentence of the novel Anne of Green Gables, a book frequently referred to in the TV series. 
I have seen an anime that got that exact same line: Neon Genesis Evangelion. It might be possible, but hidden at most, that the line may be referenced to the aforementioned anime. --Seishirou Sakurazuka 23:43, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

message: 1. I've seen Michelle's name edited and re-edited, so I've put a clarifying note on the page and I am noting it here: according to screenshots of the TV series and other sources (I'll dig them up if I need to), Michelle's surname is romanized "Cheung," just like actress Maggie Cheung. Yes, the Geneon subtitles translate as "Chan" at the beginning of the series--that's because the kana literally spell out "Chan" -- but they change the spelling to "Cheung" later on. 
2. Alice Alice's surname in the series is spelled out as "Arquette." The original entry here read "Arkwart." I'm pretty sure the first is correct. Also, I edited her entry to say she was seeking the Key, not the Book of (Thingy) Blood, which is what we see in episode 9. If any of this needs to be corrected, please do so, provided you have accurate information supporting it. 
3. I removed a comment that Maggie is "probably agoraphobic." While certainly claustrophilic, there is absolutely no indication that she has a fear of open spaces. 
4. I added in spoiler warnings in the character sections, as huge plot points are spoiled throughout. I believe there used to be a spoiler warning here which someone removed. I humbly request that any editors to PLEASE not remove it again, unless you remove the actual plot spoilers as well. Come to think of it, should there just be a plot summary section added so the character section can be cleaner and more brief?
5. I changed Drake's bio to say that he is a mercenary who has worked for the British Library, not a British Library field agent. Dialogue in both the OVA and the TV series indicates he's not on the Library's regular payroll, but hired for specific missions (hence why he is mostly unaware of what's going on in the British Library recently). If this continues to be debatable, perhaps the information should be edited to be more vague.
6. Fixed a lot of grammatical errors. And please note that with very few exceptions, periods and commas live inside quotation marks, not outside them. I note this because this inconsistency shows up a lot in this article. Yes, nitpicky. But I'm a copy editor. Sue me.

message: I recall there being a Trivia section on this page, discussing some literary and pop culture references (such as the "Heroic Trio" reference now, somewhat more out of place, listed in the "characters" section. It seemed useful and interesting. Why did it go away? DeathQuaker 17:18, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

message: R.O.D might need an article on Nenene some time soon.  She is virtually the main character of the show and has quite a developed character.  It's also about time that we started fixing the broken links to Koji Masunari and the seiyu of the characters. Eternal dragon 09:55, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
