Groovy little tune. I usually skip anime-openings seeing as most of them are interchangable J-pop but I never skipped this one while I was watching the series.
If you really want to nit pick, ROD the TV stands for Read Or Die the TV. Which is in fact based on a blend of the Read or Dream manga and original Read Or Die light novels. The Read Or Die OVA was based on the novels alone. All that's if I recall correctly...

Sorry for nit picking, but r.o.d. stands for read or dream. At least, that's the manga this was based of. Kinda strange that the writer chose the same acronyms for two different shows.
@Cross177 Not even close. How to you figure that? The naked women in the OP? It's supposed to be the classic "secret agent/spy" theme and opening that everything of the same genre has. Ever seen a James Bond movie? Those are perfect examples.
Once I get to Japan, Akihabara, this is the first anime that I'll watch again and again and read its manga again and again. =D Anyways, nice opening, makes you feel all James Bond. =))
got all 7 dvds and extra one with it <3 the books just come out, i got all 4 of them lol iam a big big fan of R.O.D the tv, love the oc's personitly and looks of art, action in it with paper fights, there always something going on or relax moments which is funny and great, i wil so tell everyone about this anime <3
Would you happen to know the artist? I've been dying to know who made this song and get my hands on the OST ever since I watched this on Anime Unleashed about 4 years ago.
this anime... is no yuri at all... can't see any yuri in it... of course it compose of girls but they don't have feelings or what could you say out of boundaries love... but why they say it has yuri?? is it because of maggie and nenene? it was just a fall and maggie is there to save her and carry her thru the table... gets???
i got all the dvds and books, there nothing sexual about it at all, R.O.D read or die u have to be 15 to watch that couse a lot of fighting action moments, R.O.D the tv u have to be 12 to watch.
9 seconds in, Maggie is a race car driver (check out the carb stacks behind her, she's gotta be pushin' 500hp!). Of course, my fave girl in the whole show is just so athletic, she can do just about anything. Yet so soft-spoken. Anyway, the bass riffs kick ass.
hey, where I live now, i can't get the "gone down the trasholla" g4 version of the origianl & great Tech TV network...does anyone know if they still show crap-b0r3dom, or did they just die-out, or did anime-forums ((like fans of the AWESOME Paper Sisters of R.O.D;) ever make enough noise to FORC3 those Dolts at g4 to g3t back to anime & cooL g33k stuff like--computers/games, etc??
Yeah I remember this show from when G4 was still good. I don't think it's back, but then again, I haven't gotten the channel for a little over a year.
i know i didnt know the name of it forever it was on Anime Unleashed on g4 b4 g4 turned gay with so much star trek,Man show and COPs. Anime games technolgy go to gether not all the other BS!!
if u dont think this u need a mortal blow to the head!
thats what i've been trying to find out... but if it is maggie.. thats sweet. To me she was the most attractive out of them all. Next being juniors mom.
She's the exact same size... the only diff is that the half naked one has make-up on. Also in the other R.O.D. its that other character. The main of the actually ROD books not the paper sisters... you know the real paper master. yeah its her.
Anybody knows any other songs like this ? /Jazz .
