Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe names of the "Paper Sisters" are loosely inspired by three famous Hong Kong actresses: Maggie Cheung, Michelle Yeoh (who has also been credited as "Michelle Khan") and the late Anita Mui. Alternatively, a possible reference (pertaining to Anita's surname) is Hong Kong actress Michelle Reis, whose surname means "king" in Portuguese (her father being Portuguese).
- GoofsOne weakness of Paper Masters (revealed when the Three Sisters are in the Gifu prefecture hot springs) is that water can dampen their ability to control paper. Yomiko Readman and Sunny Wong have some way of overcoming this, but the Three Sisters do not (Joker later uses this weakness against the girls when he confronts them in the National Diet Library). However, as seen at the end of Twilight of the Papers, Anita forms and holds an underwater bubble to help her and Nenene escape from Dokusensha as the building sinks into the ocean (due to a bomb that Joker had planted).

Featured review
Not what I was expecting.
After viewing the original Read or Die, I was expecting some of the same incredible action with all the paper and unique powers of all the characters of the first.
It delivers some incredible eye candy in the first episode, but from then on it focuses mostly on little tasks the three girls must accomplish. Ten episodes felt like one very, very long one. I have to say overall it was pretty disappointing. It has its good parts, but mostly it's a waste of time. If you liked the first Read or Die, you won't like this one. They're two totally different perspectives on an original idea, but Read Or Die: The TV a step in the wrong direction.
