Manga Denies R.O.D. Editing Rumor

Manga Entertainment spokesman Keith Burgess has officially refuted the rumor from last weekend’s Ohayocon convention that Manga Entertainment’s DVD release of Read or Die will be edited together into a single feature. According to Burgess’ statement, R.O.D. will be released in America unedited with a simple, DVD standard “Play All” function. According to Burgess:

Keith Burgess from Manga Entertainmnet, I wanted clear up the rumor that started on AoD about Read or Die. I did not say they were going to be edited into movie form, what I said was that instead of making it one episode plays and credits play and so on. That it may play and have the screen boards for the blank commercial spots. Which is what happens with Virus, the episodes are barely 30 minutes there is nothing to cut. So here is what I got directly from production all the epsisodes will run together but not edited they will simply play and end with all their credit stuff and then the next one will start. There may be an option to skip over the credits until the end but I don’t know about that just yet.
