Fans of the supernatural paper-bending action of R.O.D -The TV- can look forward to a new story set in the franchise's universe. This upcoming series, titled R.O.D the TV, will serve as a prequel, delving into the past of the iconic Paper Sisters: Anita, Maggie, and Michelle.
The new series centers on the Three Sisters Detective Agency in Hong Kong, where the trio uses their paper manipulation powers to solve book-related mysteries. Their latest case brings them into contact with Nenene Sumiregawa, a novelist grappling with writer's block after the disappearance of Yomiko Readman, a key figure from the original R.O.D continuity. The story promises to explore the origins of the Paper Sisters and their unique abilities within this established world.
Produced by J.C.Staff, the studio behind hits like Toradora! and Food Wars!, this prequel aims to enrich the lore of the R.O.D franchise. While R.O.D -The TV- aired in 2003 and garnered a MAL score of 7.53, this new entry offers a fresh perspective, potentially bridging the gap for viewers curious about the series' foundational elements and the characters who operate outside of Yomiko's direct narrative.
