No rival rant. I lied, I'm horrible, but this is really interesting. While commenting to petronia, and having her reply back to me I have come to the solid conclusion that the cast for the 'Read or Die' anime series is the reincarnation of the Saiyuki cast.

Nenene = Sanzo
Michelle = Gojou
Maggie = Hakkai
Anita = Goku

And Yumiko guest stars as the previous Sanzo (whose name I can never remember, too many people in 'Saiyuki' has names that begins with 'K'). If you can't see this, you're obviously not a fangirl who psychoanalyse every single scene in a manga/anime.

I also have this sneaky suspicion that Joker-san is Nii-sensei, because I can so see Nii messing with people's minds by reincarnating as a blond, polite, tweed wearing librarian with questionable motives. Honest.

And to father the crack.

The boy with the long blue hair who shoots people and enrolled in Anita's class has to be Kougaiji. Think about it. Just think.

And now I really need to see more of 'ROD' anime to make more connections. I have a mission. Fear me.
