I really liked R.O.D. the TV but thought the OVA wasn't that great. I highly recommend reading the Read Or Die manga before watching the TV show rather than the OVA, but that leaves out some important stuff. SO... here's the essentials in 10 minutes rather than +90.
I loved the OVA and hated the TV series. I wanted to see Yomiko, not 3 new characters who, honestly, I found flat and boring. But then, OVAs are almost universally better than the TV series that come afterwards. El Hazard. Tenchi. BGC. Nuku-Nuku. I'd ad this as well.
What little I saw of the manga is good

Well, I personally never loved the quiet sistership of Maggie, Anita, and Michelle, and I really missed having Joker and Wendy's office powers on the side of good. It's all about taste really, I mean, the Read or Dream manga is labeled as fantasy-comedy and Read or Die is action, so.... yeah. BUT I'd say watch/read them all!

Interesting. I liked the OVAs better xD I LOVED Nancy, she was awesome! The friendship/relationship between her and Yomiko was adorable too. The TV series started out rather boring, in my opinion, but it got better! In contrast, the OVAs were action-packed all the way through. But I dunno...that's just how I felt. R.O.D. owns ^^
