Library War: The Wings of Revolution Trailer

Kadokawa have released two trailers Production I.G.’s anime movie adaptation of Hiro Arikawa’s light novel Library Wars and thanks to the trailer I have discovered the J-Rock outfit Base Ball Bears.

Synopsis

In near future Japan, the Media Enhancement Law has led to the censoring of all media including books To counter this, the Library Defence Force s created and act as a military task force attached to all libraries. Iku Kasahara is the first woman to join the Library Task Force and we follow her and her squad as they protect books and other artefacts from the Media Enhancement Law commission.

As with any successful TV series this got the movie treatment and with legendary anime studio Production I.G. continuing with the franchise it looks rather good.
