"not sure if anybody noticed (or if it was mentioned previously), but the 3 sisters names seem to be taken off the Hong Kong Film "The Heroic Trio" starring Maggie Cheung, Anita Mui, and Michelle Yeoh"
Interesting! ps: Zepy, I saw your Disgaea screencap on your site. You're crazy! pps: nice to know that you're planning to fansub Tsukihime. But I thought that NLA's staff was absorbed into the Triad, or are you all regrouping again?

I watched ROD TV ep.1 about 5 or 6 days ago, and by sheer coincidence I just watched Heroic Trio last night. Unfortunately, my incredibly-short-term memory would never have allowed me to remember what I had for lunch that day, let alone recall the ROD TV cast's first names while watching or thinking about Heroic Trio. Thanks for pointing out the similarity for the unobservant-by-way-of-early-senility. : )

Fuu, I knew those names were familiar! I kinda identified this at the back of my head, but it never came to the front.

I always wanted to name a fearsome flaming dragon "Sakura". Its only lvl 9999 for the sake of it though, not transmigrated even once. I tried transmigrating it into a prinny and then into a shogun, but the bonus points were only slightly below my main shogun, while the default stats are many points lower. I wonder what's the exact formula for this...
Does the english Disgaea give the names for the races of each monster? Like the flaming dragons are from the ryuouzoku, those shark things are ryujinzoku etc. What's the name of the flaming dragons race and the highest tier black one?

What intrigued me when I first saw the R.O.D. OVA was the idea of having a bibliophile working for the ass-kicking section of the British Library out fighting figures from history who had somehow or other been revived. The whole literature and historical angle made the thing seem smarter than it was. I was hoping that tradition would continue in the R.O.D. tv series but instead it's making references to "The Heroic Trio"?!?

I agree which is why I think they left Nenene out of the OAV's (unless you count her postit notes at the very begining) because she's just not very interesting.
It was like James Bond meets The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (I'm not sure which comic came first) only if MI5 was run by nerds. Only seen 2 episodes of ROD tv but it looks good. I hope it's just not Nenene getting kidnapped every other episode by some random insane guy.

That, I never knew.
Oh and they're going to translate Tsukihime? Ah. Okay.
