basically what the story revolves around a young girl who was inspired to join the library defence force after one of the librarian saved her long awaited childrens story book from getting confiscated when she was just about to buy it.

the general idea involves 2 factions, the library and the 'media cleansing committee' both of them are run similar to a military style organisation where the media cleansing committee is responsible for 'censoring' books and the library seems to want to keep it from getting destroyed(from what i can tell so far). both 'faction' are against each other to the point where it involves a full scale armed conflict. somehow the movie 'equilibrium' pop up to mind when i think about this series since it gives a little of that 'feel'.

i still cant really get my head round the idea librarians taking up arms fighting for books >_< it sounds a little silly but this series is a little of that and the humour that they have in it makes it worth while giving this series a try not to mention that the animation quality is pretty solid as well.

i give it a thumbs up and a 8.5/10 on this and would gladly recommend it to anyone looking for a semi-light hearted series (well, based on what i saw in this 3 episode)

ARISE FROM THE DEAD.

well, i just finished the last ep of toshokan sensou. its nothing insanely different or spectacular, but for a short but sweet 12ep series, im gonna give it a 9 outta 10 with the one point being that small lacking of something that i could hardly explain. it could be the plot? storyline? pacing... or maybe just too short for me? or like what ive remembered from watching a random american idol minute on tv: "its good, but its not something that will keep people remembering it/talking bout it in years to come" <-- something along that line.

first of, graphic/animation. well, to begin with it IS HD (or should i say, HV? ) mastered, and it does make full use of its HD boasting before the start of the show
coloring, animation, and the sort of CG'ish feeling is just a really amazing experience. every small detail are "cleanly" done, as what you'd expect out of a HD anime, cept this one just takes it a bit further than the rest.

sound wise, OST/BGM isnt all too standout, however the op/ed does leave a good tune and its definitely worth mentioning/remembering. the action scenes does sound really dramatic, especially the firearms, given the limited range of armaments being implemented in the anime. the lack of 5.1 is a little disappointing though

plot/storyline/pacing: decently well paced, a grand shoot out towards the end, and definitely emotional/touchy on the ending/conclusion. definitely a thumbs up on that despite it being a rather simple or should i even dare say, generic storyline
could be done better, but as it stands right now, im satisfied enough

To all of you that havent watched this, it definitely gets my recommendation. After all, whats to lose? its just 12 short episodes, and it got a mix of almost everything for everyone, be it the action, shootout crossfire, rabu-rabu, tsundere (does guys even qualify in this? ROFL, id have to get someone to get a proper term then if it doesnt work right), and a pinch of drama.
