Spring 2008 Anime: Booked, but not Stacked
Toshokan Sensou
- Production Studio: Production I.G
- Genre: military drama, romantic comedy, library
- Original Concept: Arikawa Hiro‘s Toshokan Sensou (light novel series)
- Director: Hamana Takayuki
- Chief Writer: Kometa Kenji
- Character Designer: Adabana Sukumo, Nakamura Satoshi
- Doujin Potential: low, though some female-oriented possible
- Figure Potential: low
If one can get over the bizarrely improbable premise of two government-sponsored paramilitary groups playing “capture the flag book” in the middle of a dense civilian population, Toshokan Sensou comes across as one of the more fun shows of the season. Initial impressions paint it as a cross between Full Metal Panic and Planetes with a bit of Read or Die thrown in, not at all a bad combination; with an immediately accessible feel, sympathetic characters, and a snappy animation design, if things stay on model and the premise is fleshed out into something interesting I’d say we have a very solid show on our hands. Bonus points for the tomboy protagonist, too.

Apologies for the messy formatting in today’s update, I was trying to squeeze in a lot of extraneous news that was probably better suited for its own individual posts. I’m still groping around for the optimum Mainichi update format and doing a lot of experimentation in the process; hopefully things will gradually become more readable and accessible rather than less.
>>Bonus points for the tomboy protagonist, too.
Negative points from me. Women should act like women!! [/misogyny]
Uh, it’d be great if someone subbed Toshokan Sensou. It’s an actually not crappy looking Pro IG show!! Please fansubbers?? :(
Please don’t release the pink Shiratori internationally. At least I can save some money then.
Else, I doubt my resolution not to buy Alternative color versions will withstand this Vispo temptation…
Oh my, as you stated Shingo, the TC2F T2 ART WORKS figure’s face is in dire need of a resculpt. Was planning on getting that, but as it stands now, no way jose. The blonde one looks even worse O_O
