Everyone seems to have their favorite anime character, as well as their own reason for adoring said character. My personal favorite is Yomiko Readman from the series R.O.D. Read or Die. The series follows Yomiko as she uses her paper manipulation powers to complete missions for the British Library’s Special Operations Unit. Back in junior high, I was obsessed with the manga, OVA and TV anime that came out of this franchise. However, there aren’t that many YouTube videos that dive deeply into Read or Die. So, I thought that I would go the honors.
