Toshokan Sensou – 08: Shibasaki Shines, Sister!

Posted by blissmo 4 June 2008 7 Comments

It’s time for more angry action!

I found this episode to be rather dull, especially when the old chaps were interrogating Iku and mostly when Tezuka’s bro (oh, shikes, he’s more disturbing than the dude that laughs freakishly) was talking about the Library Corps, etc. But even so, there were some lol moments like when Doujou tried to pat Iku on the head to comfort her, but she was wearing heels too high for him to reach. The character I loved most in this episode was Shibasaki and her great concern for her friend. She also makes a rather adorable pairing with Tezuka as well, but where that relationship will go, only the people who have read the entire manga will know. Even the start of the episode was slow and if the interrogation was supposed to be scary, it didn’t feel that way, but it did feel very “serious business-ish.”

These men are nice blokes

Shibasaki’s fans? Or are they Doujou’s? You guess

Eww, yucky. He ain’t charming if that’s what you see

I keep forgetting that this series even exists but I am constantly reminded by issa-sa when she blogs, and Impz, but he’s away so now it’s just issa-sa. Plus, I think issa-sa’s “story” for this episode was by far more interesting anyway. I honestly don’t know what to expect next week and the resolution came pretty soon, but I’m glad that Toshokan Sensou isn’t one to drag on the same issue for too long. I suppose it’s the theme or the lack of early rabu rabu (actually, Doujou and Iku held hands and that’s about the only development we got) that makes me sometimes wonder why I still even bother with this series. Although, it’s only going to last thirteen episodes and I’ve already made it this far, surely the things to come will be more interesting, right? Plus, I can’t stop watching an anime that has sweet art!

And they lived happily ever after~

This looks interesting. I might pick it up after Kaiba, but Real Drive and Lucky Star are harsh mistresses. As for Speed Racer, he is sulking in a corner because I haven’t reviewed one of his episodes for a week.

WHY?! I think this is one of the best episodes I’ve seen (the best one still remains the bear episode). I think the only people who actually like this anime would be me, issa-sa and usagijen. Oh well…

@newgeekphilosopher: Yeah I suppose this anime is interesting in its own way at times

@biankita: Haha, yeah I think so too!

Why must you not like everything I watch blissmo???? LOL
I’m glad they didn’t spend too much time on the SRS BSNS interrogation like I expected, and instead flipped it into a “Doujou and Shibasaki rock!” episode
