----------------------------------------
They suddenly slowed down the pace, so it was better than previous episodes. The scene Genda came up with the rescue operation was nice, but to make it consistent, Inamine's SP should not have handguns. Outside the library, Library Forces are allowed to bring only nightsticks.
They finished the first volume "Toshokan Sensou". I'm looking forward to see how they animate the second one "Toshokan Nairan".

If you don't understand why Genda refused the assist from the police, see "Q. What is the "Nightmare of Hino Library"?" in this entry.

Grrr... What is supposed to be the advantage of one cour series is that they aren't plagued with recaps and filler. We saw the scene with Dojou telling Kasahara how she hasn't proved her trustworthiness 3 times! In 2 episodes. Also, they could have kept the recap at the start to maybe 30 seconds. Well that kinda pissed me off, but at least there wasmn't a cliffhanger ending (well, if there was, it was really small, and does not annoy me at all).

I was laughing so hard when the inspector's jaw dropped when they said they would buy the whole building.....That was the funniest scene I've seen this month....

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

As the pace was a little slower and the story was more detailled than in previous episodes, this one was even better I think. I love how they go into the psychological side of their characters in TS, that's really great ;)

I'm really enjoying this series. I quite like the characters and think they are doing a pretty good job for such a short number of episodes. I also have never read the novel ( ? ) it was based off of, so my opinion is pretty one-sided. Nonetheless, a really good episode ^_^.

Main girl is too much of a crybaby. Emailing parents would be more convenient. Every dude's laugh in this show is so fake its grating.

This episode was better. Although she needs to stop yelling about stuff like when she read her parents were coming to visit.

So is the group who kidnapped Inamine supposed to be Chinese, as in Toshokan Sensou's way of protesting against Chinese media censorship? Or maybe I'm just over-thinking things.

Really? She was able to hear the inaudible click of the safety being removed from through the wall on the opposite side of the room? Also kind of funny, but her hint really didn't help at all since when she removed his leg that gave an exact location.

A gunfire-less raid. A gun trigger clicked behind a wall 15 metres away from her. How legitimate those were. Now we know that the confession was just part of Tezuka's dumbskull mind. Well, kind of expected that.

4/5 for an interesting outlook to Kasahara's character. For those who say she's too much of a crybaby - come on, she's a young maiden at heart and in physique! (Questionable regarding the latter.)

i liked this episode. it showed the main character’s ego and what value she has placed on being in the organization. naive is a good word to describe her character at this time.

Good episode to wrap up the first little arc adapted here, and it is nice to see Kasahara be more motivated to show the LDF and Dojou that she can be reliable for future missions and maybe even surpass him in the future (her hint did go to waste a tad though given the leg gave the exact location anyway). Going to be quite the chaos though given that her parents are travelling to meet her, while she's hidden a lot of stuff about her occupation towards them for quite some time now.

How did she hear that? The kidnapper are bunch of idiots.

It's funny to see how Kasahara hopes people to understand her secret message but then, the commander just activated the tracker like a chad.

Tezuka, seriously? That's the reason?
