Review
Overall, ROD the TV's mix of slow-paced, almost slice-of-life
scenes and high-powered action proves to be an irresistible combination
- if it were a book, I'd be calling it a real page-turner that's impossible
to put down. The real plot is only just beginning to be revealed, but
by the time I had finished these episodes I was finding myself comfortable
with the characters and wanting to see more. Well worth picking up. (Anime-On-DVD)
