Library Wars - 2013 - 4/10
AKA - Toshokan Senso // 図書館戦争

Opening sequence. A bustling library, packed with readers and book lovers, is attacked by a squad of black suited, masked men, toting machine guns and flame throwers.
Library staff massacred, patrons killed, 600,000 books go up in flames.
The government then clamps down on obscenity, hate books, controversial books.
Banned works that give readers unacceptable thoughts: horror, murder, politics, violence …
Who can save the books? The Library Defense Force is created, to stand against media censors!
Silly, far-fetched nonsense, based on popular manga, dawdles at length over fresh scrubbed recruit.
Amidst juvenile lulls, extended gun battles between the LDF and armies in riot gear devastate collections.
Preposterous beyond words. People reading physical books. Ha! Reporters hustling to print EXTRAS!
No mention of cloud storage, filehosts, downloading, digital copies (one ref to ebooks).
Wooden-faced actors play this dead serious, with lots of yawn inducing speechifying, and self sacrifice.
Fireman Montag is missing here.
