Library War: Difference between revisions

* [[Bloodless Carnage]]: Seriously, this must be the cleanest civil war ever. Few people are actually killed by the series' [[A-Team Firing]]; most are only injured or knocked unconscious.

** It's actually justified: Both sides wear SWAT/riot police-grade body armor, but both sides have very few high-caliber firearms that can effectively punch through it. This means that being shot will undoubtedly be painful, but rarely outright lethal. The system implemented for what is and is not kosher in these firefights seems to have been ''designed'' to minimize actual human casualties.

* [[Book Dumb]]: Kasahara states that she didn't do well in lectures. Cue scene of her passed out in class with her textbook over her face.

** The novel explains this a bit more -- because the university Kasahara went to didn't offer the classes she needed to qualify for a library job, she had to take night school courses on the side. (That said, she's still not a great student.)

* [[Go Through Me]]: {{spoiler|The climax of the anime sees Genda pull this on an anti-censorship art display. A Media Betterment Committee member shoots him point-blank in plain daylight, causing a PR nightmare for the MBC and saving the exhibit.}}

* [[Heroic BSOD]]: {{spoiler|Dojo develops memory loss (specifically, agnosia) following a battle.}}

* [[Hot Librarian]]: The novels indicate that [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]] Shibasaki has quite a following among the library's male employees -- and [[The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask|though she hates the attention]] (and the jealousy it provokes in some of her female colleagues), she'll [[The Chessmaster|take advantage of it]] when she needs to gather information.

* [[Knight in Shining Armor]]: Kasahara's memory of her "prince" inspired her to join the Library Force.

* [[The Napoleon]]: Dojo.

* [[Noblewoman's Laugh]]: Kasahara in Tezuka's [[Imagine Spot]].

* [[One Head Taller]]: Inverted: Dojo is noticeably shorter than Kasahara. Needless to say, he's not exactly happy about this.

** In the [[Anvilicious]] Episode 6, several members of the Defense Force are tasked with retrieving a copy of a heavily-censored book. While the title of the book is ''505K'', the description is quite obviously that of ''[[Fahrenheit 451]]''. Considering that the book in their world is referred to as the ''Book of Prophecy'', perhaps [[Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped]].

*** [[Don't Explain the Joke|505K is ~ 451 °F]]
