I never would’ve thought any show could overcome the mighty mechas of this season, CG R2 and Macross F, as my personal favorite but once again I was proven wrong. Although Macross Frontier still maintains good quality, Code Geass seems to be degrading like a Finnish conscript’s morale at a winter training camp, as I [...]

Just when I was about to go fangurl over Toshokan Sensou episode 8, Luppy posts an anti-Toshokan Sensou write-up orz. I need to be slapped for reading the entry and making myself all depressed :roll: For the love of Toshokan Sensou and for the sake of this post, I shall forget that ever happened and just think of happy thoughts.

Summary: It turns out there are two factions in the LDF; there is Commander Inamine’s good guys faction which believes in letting people read scanlations through the use of SMGs, and there is the administrative faction (which is somehow related to the LFPG) which believes in filling out boring forms and standing in long lines. [...]

In the world ofToshokan Sensou, foliage stops bullets. I have a rule, called “Ridiculous Leap of Logic Rule” (RiReRoRu for convenience’s sake), that I use to judge TV shows and movies. If, in the course of watching a TV show or movie, I’m forced to make a leap of logic so great that it’d start [...]

It’s time for more angry action! I found this episode to be rather dull, especially when the old chaps were interrogating Iku and mostly when Tezuka’s bro (oh, shikes, he’s more disturbing than the dude that laughs freakishly) was talking about the Library Corps, etc. [...]

Super-awesome episode of Library War with Kasahara given a fetch quest to go on. Though, the episode made me feel bad that I haven’t read Fahrenheit 451 in such a long time. Rating: 12+/12 Perfect Kasahara and Intstructor Komaki go to a book dealer to pick up a very special book that the book dealer wants the [...]

Oh noes, fansubs with large image obscuring fonts are destroying anime! (Okay, seriously, from now on ;P) Now that the sub for Toshokan Sensou 8 is out, I guess I can release this ’serious’ post on the episode But first, to make up for the lack of Doujou in the previous episode (wait, I didn’t even [...]

Cup Ramen. Irresistable. Or izzit, Doujou? Speedsubbing my arse, lol. Sorry for the undesired delays. I’m still busy with my assignment ( which I don’t think I’m going to finish it in time before the dateline. Oh wait, the dateline was yesterday. Damn. ). Gotta thanks XRayMind for these release for he took over my job temporarily [...]

Summary: Asahina Hikaru claims to be researching libraries and the current administration, but uses his research as a way to hit on Asako. Asahina-san even comes up with some lame bet to get Asako to go to dinner with him, and although Asako didn’t agree to the bet, she is curious enough to accept the [...]

You know what the best thing about watching Toshokan Sensou raw and not comprehending almost half of what’s being said is? Duh, you get to make up your own lines! From last episode (which I didn’t blog because the only thing my sleep addled mind correctly ’screencapped’ was deredere Doujou :P): Moonrunes say: “Kasahara, I am now hot [...]

One small announcement. Toshokan Sensou 08 sub will be released a bit late due to bad schedules and.. parents. Ashlynne the translator went off to see her parents in her hometown. Her hometown’s internet connection is BAD. Really BAD. And I, will be stuck in front of my computer trying to finish my assignments which involves heavy [...]

Shibasaki gets some light. My brain was literally half-dead when I watched this so I only have a vague understanding of what happened. The beginning was rather decent and opened up by introducing a new character named Asahina, who apparently turns out to be a [...]

It’s halfway through the season and people are already starting to look to the next one…and I’m still finishing my First Impressions for spring. Heh. The final two candidates for my ever-growing watch list are Real Drive and Toshokan Sensou. *Cough* In other news I’m thinking about changing my blog’s theme to revitalise my enthusiasm…Frozen Twilight [...]

I’m not going to go on about the really deep messages such as media censorship, freedom of speech, so on and so forth. Instead, here’s something I don’t think any other fellow anime blogger has mentioned. The white-collared workers in the library filing books are the same blue-collared workers out there fighting wars with their rifles. [...]

Poor kid … When I saw Komaki running at the start, I immediately asked myself: “who the hell is this?” Maybe it was because the situation was currently set in the nighttime, or perhaps it was because I remember Komaki by his freakish laughter. At last there was some more blood [...]

Doujou Atsushi is officially my favourite guy character this season. Sorry, Kogarashi If I really had to summarize this episode, it would be along the lines of: Iku and Komaki have to bring a [very important sci-fi?] book back to the library. They get attacked by the Media Communists along the way, and have to [...]

You're not sounding quite like yourself there, Iku. Iku's parents' visit is imminent - and though she's asked the library staff to aid her in deceiving them, she's still incredibly nervous. The plan is to have Iku masquerade as a library administrator for a day. As highlighted in previous episodes, Iku's librarian skills [...]

Weeks after Toshokan Sensou aired, I couldn’t help but facepalm at the people who were taking it really seriously, especially those who even gave their lengthy oh-so-intelligent logical / analytical / political explanations just to point out the loopholes of the series, vis-à-vis Real World Standards. thank you guys for your smart-ass explanations, you’ve just proven how SERIOUS you are over Toshokan Sensou. While most people agree that the premise of Toshokan Sensou is silly, there are those who get to enjoy the show despite that. Instead of acting like a curmudgeon (which I initially intended to do), I sat down and thought about the sentiments of these Toshokan Sensou cynics. Pondering upon the roots of this hate, I noticed an odd similarity between the reactions of people against Toshokan Sensou and that of Tezuka’s misgivings against Iku, as far as the first two episodes are concerned. “What random nonsense!” some of you might be exclaiming right now, so here’s a bit of explaining, which I hope will make my point clear.

Here’s an ethical situation for y’all: You’re a reporter standing at an edge of a lake. In the distance, you spot a boy drowning. You have the means and ability to save him and saving him will not have any unintended consequences (he isn’t a child Hitler or anything.) There’s also no one [...]
