Personally, I will not buy R.O.D here in the states.
After seeing ROD the TV, (yes all 26 episodes) on fansub (I wont say where I got it though) I must say that I was dissapointed with the plot and characters Ill go into detail, WARNING SPOILERS!!! spoiler[From the begining of the series, the main focus is NOT The Paper, Ms.Deep, and Anderson, Instead it follows 3 sisters who are Paper users, as they protect someone who used to be close to Yomiko.Turns out some chinese company (Who is now supeior to the british libary) want to kidnap This girl and force her to be smart? The Joker is Evil now? Yumiko is in hiding, Wendy is not only smart, but a bitch? ] All in all, I was very dissapointed with the new series, (I wanna compare it to Final Fantasy Unlimited, but thats too harsh) The plot progress tooooo slowly, most questions are never really answered. so your left going "Ok, thats the way it is.... TELL ME WHY!" And there are very few "badass" moments anymore, which is heartbreaking I am warning you all, Rent it BEFORE you buy it, I might save you the 100+ bucks |

I agree with this. It's not the best thing I've ever seen, but I'm twelve episodes in so far and really enjoying it. |

The problem is, when they announce a super-flashy box, this can mean two things. Either
1. The series blows, and they need to get as many sales in as possible. A Fancy VOlume 1 + box in this nature has been done before (Hi SDK), or 2. The series is really amazing, and deserves an amazing box+extras. I'll buy the LE I think, but only watch the first disc once, then put it back. If I'm paticularly under impressed, I'll leave it alone and keep it in good nick, and sell it when/if it goes on TV and the availability of the box goes down, and the overall price goes up

The first four episodes is a bad gauge of the rest of the series. The first episode has some killer action that you'll see later on, but the next few episodes are used for character development, so they'll seem really slow. Things don't start picking up until about episode 10 or so, but from then on, it's all quite exciting.
I'm going to buy the series, but that's because 1) I'm a die-hard R.O.D fan, 2) I've seen the entire series and know what I'm getting into, and 3) I already promised myself that I'd do this. I personally think it's worth the money, but if you're expecting what you saw in the OVA, you might be slightly disappointed - things are spaced out a bit more, and it isn't exactly jam-packed with action. Nevertheless, there's some great character development in the TV series that couldn't happen in the OVA since the OVA was so short, so it might be worth your time. I'd recommend it as a definite watch, if not buy, for those who are willing to wait for lots of action and Yomiko-Nancy-Drake goodness, but your best bet, if you're not sure about the series, is to rent before buying. Rent the first few DVDs if the very first one doesn't quench your thirst, since the series kicks off the ground very gradually. Once you get an idea of what the series will be like (this doesn't happen until the double-digits, and it gets progressively better from there), then you can decide what to do with bigger amounts of your money. |

at any rate, ROD has been getting good reviews by the Yuri fans *shrugs* |
