@tapeafriend honestly i don't give much shit about bleach, but srsly why soul eater? it has the best theme songs, decent animation and a great characters
One of the things that made me fall in love with the ROD franchise was the first time I heard this theme on the OVA. They actually managed to out-John Barry the inestimable John Barry!
I'm trying to find The Light of Other Days (God save the Queen) and Casting off the Spirit (God save the Queen) that are music from Read or Die... Anyone that can help me, I tried google but couldn't find!
I remember when I first saw this and loving the Bond/classic spy theme music it had. So many anime crappy J-Pop for a soundtrack, but they decided to go hard with this!
I remember reading several years back about a possible third ROD series, other than Die or Dream. Guess it never happened. Shame. The series kinda fell apart in the second half, but I would like more. It was good, they could make a better one.
I'd love for their to be a third series. Personally I really enjoyed ROD the TV through to the end even though I missed out on references as I only watched the OVAs afterwards.
The series didn't fall apart in the second half, it became a completely different show. It becomes dark, then very dark, then kind of a mindfuck but the ending is sooo worth it.
i first thought it looked a little like Insane from the game WET like the song
