Leans too much into anime shenanigans at times, but still a fun casual ride.

Notable for the way it exploits historical figures. Otherwise, pretty standard stuff.

There's some problems with the villain and the pacing, but Readman is such a refreshing character. She's cute and naive and messy and kind of meek, but she's still a competent agent and not a joke.

Saw this over a year ago (from this mini-review's post) and enjoyed it much more than the T.V. show. Paper used as a weapon, neat idea, and some nice animation as well.
