Library War

action/comedy/romance

Age rating: 13+

In a slightly different timeline than ours, the explosion of information and misinformation came to be considered a direct threat to society. In a daring decision, it was decided to create a new government agency dedicated solely to information management. Some thirty years later, in 2019, the government still monitors and controls information, suppressing anything they find undesirable, but standing against their abuses of power are the libraries, with their special agents called ‘the book soldiers.'  

Library War was a very fun anime to watch; I loved it. It had a good story line (though it did have the stereotypical ‘girl and guy fight and then start liking each other’ thing). It was humorous, and it had some decent action. I give it a 9.5. It deserves it for being an all around good anime and for one that I think I would watch again.

Glass Mask

romance/drama

Kitajima Maya loves movies.  And theatre and anything else that has to do with the two.  She’s completely worthless in her normal every day life as she works with her mother at a ramen shop.  One day, however, she finds the one thing that she might be good at: she finds acting.  I really liked this anime.  The animation in Glass Mask is so-so.  It is an interesting story with several interesting characters.  If you like stories about acting, I would suggest this one to you.  Quality-wise and how well done the story was (basically from an analytical point of view), I would give this one a 7.  However, how entertaining it was, gets a 9.  I really enjoyed it, though this might be because I used to be a theatre major and I really like stories about newbie actors.  Also, you can learn a lot from this about acting because most of what the theories in the series are legitimate.

Capeta

action/sports


Age rating: All

Capeta discovers the world of kart racing when his father, in an effort to do something for his son who is his main support, gives him a kart that he has pieced together from scrap parts that he’s gotten at a local raceway.  He ends up competing in races where many challenges await him.  Incredible story about overcoming hardships and following dreams.  It is sad in some places, but it still gets a 10.
