@Baricad I agree completely. I have never watched this series, but because of this theme tune, I will watch the entire series. Tonight. Even if I have a week-long canoe trip in the Canadian wilderness tomorrow, I am watching this show.
yomiko is the cutest girl in all anime imo! love the glasses, i also really like how she is so one track minded "please give me back my book!" you rock yomiko!
A great character, sure, but likeable? She doesn't have much personality, makes a fair share of mistakes and questionable decisions, and is dangerously indecisive and inept at times...Plenty of anime nerds are a lot more enjoyable
Someone somewhere someone managed to combine the themetunes of Mission:Impossible, The Man from Uncle, and The Avengers, resulting with something better than any of those three put together.
Except that the League of Extraordinary Gentleman is about legendary literary figures combating evil while this is about using books as a means to rewrite history and control the world.
And that movie sucked. Read the comic book instead.
I've read nearly every book that LXG was based on, and I still couldn't stomach the comic. By contrast, I did somewhat enjoy the movie, though it was largely just another action movie with names, faces, and powers, I found almost every moment of it cheered me up and made me believe in heroes. Not so with the comics.
ROD and ROD the TV = THE BEST.

Yomiko kicks ass! I thought it was awesome when she took out someone with a dollar.

I forward that Yomiko is the most likeable nerd ever. All those that agree with me give me a thumbs up.

A cheap way to get thumbs, but damn if I didn't click. Oh, I'm a contradictory bastard.
