| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- They put a bit too much in one episode. I know it's inevitable because this series only has only 12 episode, but the emotinal description of the characters appeared shallow. Tezuka had struggled with his own mind and discussed with Komaki and Doujyou. Without such descriptions, the last proposal from Tezuka sounds abrupt. |

| Yeah.. it was worse than the 1st one, but true it only has 12 episodes and they need to get some stuff done with characters... and all that stuff blablabla XD ..but nice to see some developments in relationship(?) between Kasahara and Doujou ♡ lol after all romance is one of the genres isnt it? :) and I'm enjoying Inoue Marina's voice ALOT. reminds me of Kana all the time. hehehe |
| i enjoyed this episode. really got sucked into it. |
 |
| Just finished watching the first 2 episodes. Although the concept is kinda weird, i like how they're handling it. And i quite like Kasahara's character. I agree though that a bit too much happened in this episode. |
| So how are Ocha!'s subs? |

Iriya said: So how are Ocha!'s subs? Much better than TSHNN, the font was a little small but they were easier to read. Faust721 said: i enjoyed this episode. really got sucked into it. It had a lot in it, as said before and even had a little bit of humour. Dunno if they really needed to do the introductions again, I hope there isn't next episode. The action was pretty sweet too, and there a lot of characters for just 12 episodes. I still kind of find the "books are extremely valueable" and stuff a little bit corny. I'm assuming the internet in this alternate universe is completely monitored or something? I know there is computers... Maybe there isn't even any web at all. |

| Haha, I knew he was going to ask that. Episode was good, better than the first episode. The best release you can go for is the Froth-Bite & Menclave HD Joint, HANDS DOWN! |

So the libraries are the only source of information uncensored. |
| @ Washi - You've confused me terribly. Who in the world are you talking to? (though I agree with what you're saying, actually) <3 this series. I don't feel like the second episode was too full or anything - in fact, I thought the pacing was pretty well done. Looking forward to more. |

Washi said: the person I was talking to deleted their posts, hence the confusion (I don't just like to run my own conversations ;p) oic. XD I wondered if it was something like that, but most forums leave some sort of message saying that the person deleted their message. Also, thanks for the information, dtshyk! I need to work on my japanese so that I can someday read these books... |
| Great episode, a lot better than the first. Even though I'm still a bit confused about the whole librarians with guns thing; this episode was very entertaining, I loled hard when she punched the bear and the ending was pretty funny too. |

| I still think the background story setup is very stupid (yet original), but the actual story is good. Characters are very good. Overall it is a good anime so far. I thought the 2nd episode was even better than the first. The end was very surprising. I like sudden unexpected turns. What were those points in her face? Does she have an sweets/strawberry-allergy? |

Forever said: I still think the background story setup is very stupid (yet original), but the actual story is good. I agree that the background story is unrealistic, but I really went into the story of the novel because the author put emphasis on the controvercy about the censorship not on the gun battles. The script writer of this anime omitted those political discussions and brought the showy battle scenes to the front. That's why the anime appears to be ridiculous. |
| I found it weird that no one mentioned having seen the title of the first book on that list. Library War, which is pretty much the name of the series. Was enough to bring a giggle out of me. Liking the series so far. I found the concept of armed librarians quite interesting, honestly. Hope it keeps up like this. |

| I enjoyed it so far, it's getting little better. Iriya said: So how are Ocha!'s subs? Froth-Bite, Conclave Fansubbing & Mendoi Fansubs > Ocha! |
| This series is all about character development. The story seems a bit vague for now but I'm pretty confident. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
Massaki said: I noticed. Too bad i only saw this anime today...I found it weird that no one mentioned having seen the title of the first book on that list. Library War, which is pretty much the name of the series. Was enough to bring a giggle out of me. Liking the series so far. I found the concept of armed librarians quite interesting, honestly. Hope it keeps up like this. Pretty interesting indeed. As most as the users above. i think the story is pretty messed up. But who cares? It has Shooting / GARRR / Moar Shooting / Chibi Sousuke Dude / Messed Up " I'm the pwnzors " Guy / GARRR Girl / And also moar shooting... What esle would i need? xD |
| Finally got round to watching the second episode and I can't stop laughing! The ending is so random! xP |
 |
| My only complaint was the fight scene. That reminded me of a schoolyard lesson rather than combat with real risks involved, especially when she spent so much time moralizing before she jumped. That would have been a FAIL, lol. Maybe the bright colors and lack of damage portrayed give that impression too. I'm liking the series otherwise so far, especially Dojo and Iku. ^^ I don't think I've seen this kind of anime or this kind of relationship in anime before (commanding officer and soldier). Breaking new ground. :D |
| This is actually hilarious. It's just waaaayy to unrealistic, that i can't help but laugh. In any case, it was an alright ep overall, the ending was totally predictable :3. Onto next episode~ |

| Hmmm.... the action is pretty good but it is a little QUESTIONABLE... I mean at the rooftop what the hell... they have the higher ground, so why didnt they start shooting ALOT earlier than they did. And that girl is straight up stupid how the hell did they make such an incompetent girl part of a military force? I mean lives are going to be counting on her and she's been making stupid mistakes left and right. If you ask me thats like toying with your life if you let a moron into your ranks. It is still pretty funny how the battlegrounds are libraries now. :P |
  "What happens when we die?" I know that the ones who love us will miss us. |
| Lol confession? Is it reverse harem?? Well i heard gunshot..so better appeal for me |
 |
| LOL at the end, I saw that coming a mile away! |
| Wow Im really liking this show! ROFL |
| Nice progressing in terms of the team's relationship I guess. Yup, that ending is a compliment ^_- Lol @ the ending, he asked her out??? |
 |
| Protecting books is srs business. |
 |
| Ahh I finally made it to the end of episode 2 ^^ I thought it was weird how the bear parted the tent flap with its paws lol. Epic KO bear punch! I didn't see that confession coming lol |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Hrmmm, well didn't see that coming, honestly I thought the romance would be between Dojo and her . . . Anyways, she kind of reminds me of the female MC from Planetese. Aside from that, okay series so far, though the whole war over a few books did make me lol. |
 |
| Wow, Library war indeed. Did not expect that this will really escalate into firing just for books. And I was surprised with the confession. Wonder how will Dojo react. Hehe. |
| War over books, is this some sort of a satirical comedy over dystopia? |
| "If you reject me, I'll blast a hole in you!" Kanzaki H. Aria Just kidding.  |
| That ending came out of nowhere. I mean, I've seen first and second episode confessions before, but damn that was fast. Anyways, I enjoyed the military elements just as much as the comedic gags, so this show is doing something right in my eyes. It's certainly a disjointed piece of craziness. I can't tell what it's trying to do yet, but so far, the censorship thing seems to be the background setting to frame the characters' interactions. This may change in future episodes, so I'm not going to criticize it yet. I'm just still reeling back from how this show was nothing like I imagined an anime called "Library War" to be like. |
| Odd premise but fun show! I wonder how Kasahara got rid of those pimples at the end... |
| I've just realized how dumb the premise is. Like seriously risk your life for books? dont they have internet in their world where pretty much contains more information/sexual content than books? |
"I have been wielding a blade since before your were swimming around your father's scrotum." - Kurou |
| Lets kill for books |
| "I lost all of what you could call feelings of love. They weren't sealed, so they can't be released. They weren't broken, so they can't be fixed. That which is lost, cannot be recovered." Shiba Tatsuya "There are no regrets. If one can be proud of one's life, one should not wish for another chance." Saber "No matter what happens, no matter how crazy things get, I'll always try to restore balance." Korra "It's madness to let others take what's yours and accept it blindly." Baatar Jr "Instinct is a lie, told by a fearful body, hoping to be wrong." Zaheer "Partner in crime, partner in time" Chloe Price and Max Caulfield |
| I guess this anime is a bit like Bantorra, where books are really invaluable things I like it! Well that was a really fast.. confession xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| the anti-moe in me is clawing out of my body. is this building up to a reverse harem? |
| ok screw it...I am gonna make time... even if my work schedule is packed...that was epic...hmm and quite interesting |
 |
| There was a ton of stuff packed into this episode, but it was still really enjoyable to watch nonetheless. Tezuka's surprise confession to Kasahara after she told him to trust her during the mission, humbling him in a sense, was quite the sight to behold. Still though, its nice seeing Kasahara take steps to improving herself as she's now a part of the Task Force now and not only does she need to prepare and train herself and do her job properly, but also trust her instincts like she did for this mission when switching up to go directly to the Chief Librarian's office. |
| The war is kinda funny tbh 🤣. Glad to see some character progression. Hey Tezuka,you need to chill man. We still on episode 2. |
