R.O.D (Read or Die) refers to a fictional universe created by the Japanese author Hideyuki Kurata. R.O.D began as a series of novels published under Shueisha's Super Dash imprint (the first volume appeared in 2000, and volume 9 in 2004); spinoffs include a four-volume manga series, a three-episode OVA, and the related manga series Read or Dream and associated anime series R.O.D the TV. The manga series, as well as possibly the novels, have been licensed in the U.S. by Viz Communications, with the first volume having been released in March of 2006 and the expected out in early April.

The premise is that the British Empire (supported by the British Library and the superpower-endowed agents of its "Special Operations Division") has remained the major world power through the 20th century and into the 21st century. The novels chart the career of agent Yomiko Readman as she fights various book-related criminal organizations; the OVA tells the story of a major incident in which clones of major historical figures threaten to wipe out civilization, the British Library being central both to the creation and resolution of the crisis; R.O.D the TV continues the story five years later, after Britain's fall from power.

Currently both anime versions and volumes 1 and 2 of Read or Die manga have been released in English. It is unknown at this time if the novels will also be released in English.

The OVA is licensed by Manga Entertainment. The OVA series aired in the United States on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim on Saturday, 23 October 2004. The version aired showed all three episodes of the OVA into a single movie-length TV feature, leaving out only the repeat of the opening and closing sequences between episodes. [1]

R.O.D the TV has also aired on G4TechTV's Anime Unleashed. During the initial and later Adult Swim broadcasts of Read or Die, Anime Unleashed aired R.O.D the TV in the same time slots.

I'm guessing it is a series, or will be, if not already, depending on how many viewers it gets, and what the cridtics say.
