One of the things that made me fall in love with the ROD franchise was the first time I heard this theme on the OVA. They actually managed to out-John Barry the inestimable John Barry!
This song is the main reason I've never learned to drive. If I did, I'd drive around the city at 100 miles per hour listening to this song and trying to do insanely cool stunts, which would probably get me in huge trouble.
I still contend that R.O.D is the best English dub in existence. Kimberly Yates' performance of Yomiko is seriously one of the most gravitating English performances I've seen in an anime. It's so natural and believable.
+Omlás Give them credit, The Dub wasn't as bad as most of the ones from the year this series came out. In fact i agree with OP.. don't hate dub just because you're a sub hipster. Honestly I love Subs more then dubs most time.. BUT THIS DUB WAS EPICLY GOOD.. a couple lines of Maggie weirdness aside.
I remember when I first saw this and loving the Bond/classic spy theme music it had. So many anime crappy J-Pop for a soundtrack, but they decided to go hard with this!
Sometimes I skip the intro sequence because I've seen it a thousand times and I could always go listen to the song after watching the episodes/full series. But with this, I really wouldn't mind watching straight through, opening and fucking everything that comes afterwords. Oh my Goddess this is a magnificent OP. SERIOUSLY.
I'd love for their to be a third series. Personally I really enjoyed ROD the TV through to the end even though I missed out on references as I only watched the OVAs afterwards.
There is no background music that plays in the collective suicide scene of the analyzers found dead by Jocker's secretary (OVA Ep.3), it is actually atmospheric instrumental music. The album with fourteen tracks did not include this beautiful performance. I LOVE that sound, the feeling it expresses is so deep. By any chance is there a collection that has this specific track?
And I thought Shiro Sagisu did that both in John Williams and Bernstein's face with his Evangelion and Macross soundtrack. Oh, well I guess then this theme takes the cake. Good enough for me. XD
I remember reading several years back about a possible third ROD series, other than Die or Dream. Guess it never happened. Shame. The series kinda fell apart in the second half, but I would like more. It was good, they could make a better one.
I'm apparently not allowed to watch it lol. Every time I try, the dumbass 'new' ad comes up and when I skip it, the time for the video changes to 0:00. UA-cam really needs to get their damned shit together.
Ah, try bands like the "Buddy Rich big band", "Snarky Puppy," "Herbie Hancock" but it depends on your taste... Just venture out on the different bands and you'll find something
R.O.Dは本当に面白いから、観たことない人は是非観て欲しいな！(ﾟ∀ﾟ)
It’s 2024 and these songs still slap
TVTropes describes this as:
"James Bond meets X-Men meets Reading Rainbow"
lol
2020年になっても聞いている。
物語の構成、見せ場ありのスタント、最高にマッチしてるbgmと文句なしですよねー
Hai
2024年から来た 😀
2024年になっても聴いてる
2022年になっても聴いてる

Lets not go nuts.... but it was a very good homage
This and the tv version are both amazing. Classic secret agent music feel to them both.
壮大で緊張感あっていいOP曲。

Or dead. Don't forget dead...
Hahahaha

cobhatebreeder It's between this and Cowboy Bebop, but yeah, this dub is amazing.
cobhatebreeder dubs
Omlás Then you've never really heard a good dub. ROD, Cowboy Bebop, FMA (both the 1st & Brotherhood), Animax dubbing of GunXSword, Gundam Seed, etc...

Accrsd Most of the time the dubs suck, why is it so hard for Americans to just....read?
The fact this and the series soundtrack still isn't yet on Spotify is a fucking crime!
すき
ずっとすき死ぬまですき
不朽の名作
Fr
2016 fuk yeah I'm still listening to this. Woohooo
If they don't play this kinda music in heaven, I don't wanna go
なんでこんなにかっこいいの
2022現在も聞いていますよー
Still loving this theme. Used as the opening theme to a Spycraft game i ran years ago..
I absolutely adore this movie and this theme is astounding.
久しぶりに聴いたよ。哀愁のある大人のアニメだったねえ。当時のこと知ってるひといたら教えてほしいよ。外人さんのコメント多くてビックリ。
おもろいね最近見始めたけど…
物語シリーズからここにたどり着いたから物語シリーズに感謝
yup, one of the best opening kinda reminscence of Ians Flemming 007 flicks kinda cross between M.I. by Enrico Morrione...luv this opening to death.
うは、あいかわらずカッコいい
This upload date is painfully nostalgic

この作品は配信じゃなくDVDレンタルで観てほしい。コメンタリーも面白い、基本的に監督と脚本家がボソボソ喋ってゲストとのほぼ雑談が笑える
2022년 듣고 있다
Come back every once in a while
15년 전이라니.... 나이를 언제 그렇게 먹었지?
Can't get enough of this sweet theme music!!
2023년에 들으러 왔습니다!
고딩때 OVA로 처음 봤을때 그 감동이란..
this reminds me of those classic spy films and tv shows
I ADORE THE GUITARING IN THIS :D
its very james bond haha but with a modern sorta twist...that's just what i think anyway :P
still love this
Still flipping the pages in 2023
@WarriorBoy This OST is even more John Barry than John Barry's Bond scores! (That's a compliment, by the way.)
I think I love TVTropes more than ever. God bless their frivolous souls. XD
Sometimes I skip the intro sequence because I've seen it a thousand times and I could always go listen to the song after watching the episodes/full series.

This song is AMAZING. . . .
@dadangrocks Which has been used in the Read or Die the TV several times has a few variations in the anime as well.
Love the theme. Spy series 70s style beat with a hint of OG Charlie's Angels theme song.
언제들어도 좋은노래. 애니원에서 해주는 극장판 봤을때 작화에 놀랐고 스토리에 놀랐지
비밥의 탱크!와 같은 급이라 할 수 있지 않을까,,,
i have this as my ringtone!
*calls you*
I miss it
normally if i marathon watch animes i would skip the songs. but with read or die, i never skip, love the music and the opening sequence
べサメムーチョ最高！
@narkiz Amen to that brother. I really love that sax and trumpet Iwasaki used in this, its INCREDIBLE!!!!!!
the best!
One of the best anime :3
懐かしい😂
RODって海外人気凄いんだな...
どこ行っても日本語コメの方が少ないぜ...
海外の人って活字読むけど今の日本人活字読まないから、作品の世界観に共感出来ないんじゃない?
I'd love for their to be a third series. Personally I really enjoyed ROD the TV through to the end even though I missed out on references as I only watched the OVAs afterwards.

もう肩が狂うほどきも重機乗せてぇ〜^んじゃ
i listen to spy music a lot these days...thanks to THIS most excellent tune!
印象的なギターやサックスとかペットのソロ以上に、合間に入ってくるパーカスだけの刻みが好き。
it doesnt matter where the song is from its still friggin awesome!

How didn't they bring this one back yet? It's kind of a forgotten classic, right?
Especially since Sony owns Crunchyroll now
It's cool, like a 60's spy action theme.
but it has a whiff of Lalo Schifrin's Bullitt or Mission Impossible, not John Barry's 007.
once upon a time when there was music
I loved the R.O.D. OVA
I was kinda disappointed with R.O.D. TV....
I gotta get more of the mangas...
This is the music that'll play in my head if I get my TTRPG players to do a perfect infiltration mission.
명곡
ah...memories.
I've find too much website but cannot find out where to watch this anime huhuhu, i mean the readman's vers :(
still watching this in 2013.
10 years ago I actually believed that they either READ or DIED.

Go team venture
@Weremoose ...akita? are you refering to anita's freakouts?
インストOPアニメって最近見ないような気がするが、、データ的にその辺どうなってんだろう…
知らんアニメだけど曲だけ聴いている
新月潭月姫のjusticeもよい
like si viste esta obra maestra de anime 2020
@sprobby Ehh, but R.O.D. is R.O.D., yes?
I'd kill to get more Lucky Star anime, in whatever form.
Tank!とかこういう系の曲が好きなんだけど、ジャンルがわからないから検索しにくくて....
モダンジャズ？ビバップ？
バディリッチとかディジーガレスピーとかオーネットコールマンかな
この曲は、1970年代の海外アクションドラマのテーマ曲を、めちゃめちゃオマージュしてる感じなんですよね。
というわけで、古い海外ドラマ・おすすめテーマ曲
「アイアンサイド」冒頭のサイレン音がそのまんま
「スパイ大作戦」有名
「謎の円盤UFO」
「スタスキー&ハッチ」
「特別狙撃隊S.W.A.T.」
「Hawaii Five 0」
最近では博多豚骨ラーメンズとかバッカーノとかで似たのありますよ。
i first thought it looked a little like Insane from the game WET like the song
better than any James Bond theme out there lol
wahts hthe ending of this series called from a movie?
2023！
@kingjamie2 I disagree, I really liked it
the name is bond, james bond
I’m suing tanner and Andrew are in our house
I'm apparently not allowed to watch it lol. Every time I try, the dumbass 'new' ad comes up and when I skip it, the time for the video changes to 0:00. UA-cam really needs to get their damned shit together.
ROD를 알면 이제 틀딱 취급이라니 ㅠㅠ
I know this is ROD, i'm just replying to the person 4 floors up from me, YOU pay attention.
迫真カレー部から
when anime was cool
what kind of music is this?
(please be specific, thanks!)
Haha I know that. I meant what KIND. Like jazz or something
This would be under "big band jazz," if anything
I see I see thanks! Any more songs like this?
Ah, try bands like the "Buddy Rich big band", "Snarky Puppy," "Herbie Hancock" but it depends on your taste... Just venture out on the different bands and you'll find something
Puneeth Reddy Spy movie theme song. I could picture this for a James Bond movie.
