I was absorbed in the anime too much for fine details, of course the good use of music helped the immersion. The music within the anime was also great, sound design was on point and tracks played at the opportune moments. Just very good music, heck these sequences seemed to have the quality of a movie intro/outro. Even though it wasn’t exactly J-rock, leaning a bit towards J-pop, I still went and got the soundtrack albums. There may be a shot or two or half-dressed women, but they are depicted sensibly and fully within context (getting changed after some work/training for example). There’s also good use of comedic facial animation and comic-book-style pop-outs for the funny bits too.īeing a noitamina anime, aimed at folks other than dumb, horny, adolescent boys, this doesn’t have anything in the way of fan-service/ecchi. Thinking about it, it kinda makes sense, since she’s a physically fit woman. Other people have taken this small error a bit too seriously, but I got used to it. The main character looked a bit too masculine at times, it may have just been the facial design but I was initially thinking that without a voice, I wouldn’t be able to figure out what gender they were. The character designs were nothing unique, but there was one small issue.
This simplicity to the palette works out at an advantage, the mellow look added to the quality. There are dense black outlines and the colours are very blocky, with little variation. I did mention that certain things were well defined, that because this anime has an almost cell-shaded look. The detail given is clearly visible in the intro/outro sequence, I could actually read the individual Japanese characters in the first shot of the intro for example.
But not that much that it had a negative influence on the overall quality, at least for an anime made back then. The objects and characters are very well defined, though quality does start to drop at a certain distance. I got it in full 1080p HD and it was worth it. The fictional story has themes of censorship, liberation and even war.įrom the get-go the animation quality was brilliant for a 2008 anime. This might be one to watch if you don’t like anime. It’s definitely an anime unlike any other and the way it comes across, it’s not aimed at the usual younger (and male) demographic, but rather a wider audience. Toshokan Sensou AKA Library Wars is a unique 12 episode political military action anime featuring some light comedy and romance.
