    Library War: Toshokan Sensou

    Here's the first three episodes by Froth-Bite & Menclave:

    http://bt.mymenclave.com/torrents/%5...5D.mkv.torrent
    http://bt.mymenclave.com/torrents/%5...5D.mkv.torrent

    Based on a light novel series by Arikawa Hiro, illustrated by Adabana Sukumo.

    In the year 2019, the explosion of information and misinformation became a direct threat to society. In a daring decision, it was decided to create a new government agency dedicated solely to information management. Now some thirty years later, the government still monitors and controls information, suppressing anything they find undesirable, but standing against their abuses of power are the libraries, with their special agents called ‘the book soldiers.’

    wow. that sounds like an extremely lunatic description. downloading!

    EDIT: this might end up being one of my favourites this season! awesome animation, great characters, good comedy (will probably have pretty good action too based on the animation).

    First 3 episodes by Ocha!:

    http://ocha.nierchi.net/wp-content/u...0_x264.torrent
    http://ocha.nierchi.net/wp-content/u...0_divx.torrent


    Going to watch all of them tonight. Though I'm a bit skeptical about this group, I hope they mistakenly typed divx... are these guys serious, DIVX??? Reading their website, they don't inspire confindence... this is a complete guess, but I bet they suck ass:

    By the way, what group from episode 1 did you guys watch?

    Favorite Gotwoot Mod moment: "Why is everyone in that show black? The art and music are pretty good, and the voice acting is alrite as well......but i can't stand that guy who follows afro around. Hes so, well, black, for the lack of a better term (well thats not true, there is a better term, but i wont use it here)" Assassin

    i was raised by this woman =O

    I watched the first episode from Euthanasia. It wasn't that bad I guess, pretty standard.

    edit: I like the abundant use of bold lines, they're kinda silly.

    watched Osha's ep 2. translation is not bad the font is a bit small tho.

    about the episode, it was good stuff and i'm still amazed at how an information conflict escalated into a full scale war!

    EDIT: they stopped translated the introduction bubbles in ep 3 (considering they change all the time, its kind of lame).
    aside of that, the episode was OK. the battle was a little underwhelming imo but this is only the third ep.

    Well a joint between Froth-Bite & Menclave came out with the first two episodes:
    http://bt.mymenclave.com/torrents/%5...5D.mkv.torrent
    http://bt.mymenclave.com/torrents/%5...5D.mkv.torrent


    This is the version I'll be watching.

    Here's episode 3 by Froth-Bite & Menclave:
    http://bt.mymenclave.com/torrents/%5...5D.mkv.torrent

    I just watched the first episode, and this shit is really really good. I really liked it. Fun characters, cool action... that's enough for me. It has a bit of the Pumpkin Scissors feeling and a bit of Nodame Cantabile. Will watch the next too as soon as I can.

    Those of you who haven't checked it out already, hurry up and get it.

    Ok guys, this is a good show and it's not getting the attention it deserves.

    Yes, there is Library in the title but it's for emo book hugging pussies. Yes there's lot of talk about books, but you don't need a good IQ to watch the damn show.
    There is some gunfights, barehanded combat, Nice art, bewbies, ...

    Just watch the thing already.

    This show is one of my favorites this season, including Code Geass and Macross Frontier. Lining this up with those shows should say something, I think.

    is anyone really stopping at the "library" in the title? the next word is "war"! this basically should appeal to EVERYONE!

    i wonder if there is going to be a larger story, or if it'll be like GITS.

    I'm pretty sure that's what's happening, though that didn't stop people from watching Read or Die as far as I know, though I was quite skeptical before I started watching that one.

    Just saw the first 3 eps and it seems pretty standard.

    • Person with much potential being held back. Trying to prove him/herself.
    • Guardian guiding this person.
    • tri-angle love affair



    Looks interesting. It comes down to ordinary librarians with guns. Hope the story gets stronger.

    I kind of get a Pumpkin Scissors feeling when watching this, though PS so far is far better

    Kasahara and Dojo make a funny couple. As opposed to Pumpkin Scissors this series indeed has a much more plausible couple around, which is a good thing.

    Thought Pumpkin Scissor has the far superior mood and setting so far.
    I was kind of disappointed to how easily the triangle-conflict was cleared. "Oh, i wanted to date you to learn something from you"...erm, ok.
    IŽd have preferred their couple, Dojo is such a clichee choice.
    Well, im looking forward to how the missions get more serious.

    The premise doesn't really sit well with me. I thought that the armies were military deterrents between the two factions -- building armies to prevent wars. That kind of thing. Everything became less rational when they introduced military offensives and death. I'm suppose to believe everything is hunky-dory in everyday life, but in the backyard there's a small civil war going on?
