Today I would like to introduce you to a Japanese anime, Library Wars. In 1989, the Japanese Diet passed the Media Improvement Act, which censored and banned undesirable content in the media, and established the "Media Improvement Committee" and the "Lianghua Secret Service" of the armed forces on the basis of this law that vaguely defined the authority of censorship. Opponents of the Media Sanitation Act, in the form of adding chapter FOUR of the original three-chapter Library Law to the Library Freedom Act, gave libraries the freedom to collect and preserve materials and the obligation to protect them, and on this basis established an armed force to defend libraries, the Book Corps. After the "Hino's Nightmare" incident, which had been scattered and weak, was unified and strengthened, and eventually the Lianghua secret service and the book team competed in court, and often engaged in gun battles around public libraries.
In the 31st year of Masaka, Kasahara, who had just graduated from university, signed up for the library team affiliated with the largest library in the Kanto region without his parents, and successfully passed the exam to become one of the few female library combat team members in the country. Yu's ideal is to become a library team member who protects books, because five years ago, when she was in high school, she was rescued by a passing book team member when she encountered the Lianghua secret service raiding the bookstore in her hometown bookstore, so she developed admiration and admiration for this team member. This year, the young girl threw herself into the war.
Many of the settings are intriguing:
Law on the Improvement of the Media: In the first year of Zhenghua, a law that was passed in an unclear manner by taking advantage of the people's indifference to politics stipulated that the government had the right to censor media content that was harmful to young people and violated human rights, and to give the executive organs the power to review through vague legal provisions and implementing regulations that were arbitrarily expanded.
Media Lianghua Committee: A government agency established under the Media Lianghua Law, which is subordinate to the Ministry of Justice of the Central Government, is responsible for formulating the criteria for the review of media lianghua, and authorizes local lianghua special agents to review and ban their powers on their behalf.
Lianghua Secret Service: The media correction review and prohibition enforcement organs established in various localities have the right to carry out the censorship of media content at any time in accordance with the Media Lianghua Law and the implementing regulations, and may confiscate non-personal items containing prohibited content, and have the right to use force, including firearms, when obstructed. Since the Lianghua Secret Service is subordinate to the Media Lianghua Committee, it is far more abundant in terms of personnel and funds than the library teams belonging to the local joint autonomous institutions.
Library Freedom Act: The library law, as a common name for supplementary chapter IV, is a law adopted by forces opposing the Media Improvement Act to counter the Good Law, giving libraries the freedom to collect, preserve and provide information and the right and duty to defend it in legal form. The Library Freedom Act, which is titled a chapter of the Declaration on Library Freedom, is also a legal provision, similarly countering the Media Improvement Act with vague provisions and implementing regulations with expanded interpretations.
"Library War" is a light novel created by Hiroshi Arikawa, when the author was creating another work, "The Bottom of the Sea", his husband introduced him to the "Declaration of Library Freedom" and triggered his inspiration, creating this work, originally scheduled to create three volumes, and finally publishing a total of four volumes of the main text, and two other volumes with love stories as the main line. Between 2006 and 2008, a six-volume single-volume version of the work was published by the Electric Shock Library, and from April to August 2011, a bunko version of the book was published by Kadokawa Shoten. The Chinese Traditional edition of this work was published by Kadokawa Agency of Taiwan and was published in its entirety in August 2010, and the Chinese Simplified edition was published by Tianwen Kadokawa Agency, and the first volume was published in November 2013, and the remaining content has been authorized but not distributed.
It won the Nebula Award for Japanese Novels in 2008.
Talking about personal feelings, this is a good work about political culture. The first contact was to buy books in Japan, Kadokawa has a lot of good books, it is just mixed in one of them. When I saw the animation work, I remembered that I had bought such a book before. The writing is very good, regardless of skill or writing, the theme and setting alone are enough for the reader to think. I actually don't like to read romance anymore, but I will still be touched by the end of the novel. The prince who fell from heaven, I protected my beloved, he protected me. For the sake of him I respected, I chose a profession that deserved to be respected. When they are together, the reader can also smile. The character setting is very three-dimensional, beyond the general animation heroine is either extremely weak or extremely strong setting, people are multi-faceted, because she is multi-faceted, so she is "people", not "characters" on the top.
It is really an excellent anime, and it can be said that it is worthy of being a classic. Although hot-blooded, it is not brainless, and it shows us responsibility, responsibility, courage, perseverance, and the belief that we can fight for it. Although it reflects a dark reality, the overall style is cheerful and positive, allowing the viewer to glimpse the glimmer of hope through the heavy dark clouds. In addition, the dog food on Yuhe Hall is really delicious, the eyes fluttering during the dialogue, the reddish cheeks, the arrogant and petite forced argument of the silverless three hundred and two here, and each other's learning, worrying, caring, and supporting. In addition, don't refuse the height difference, the height difference is really cute! Oops old man's girlish heart. It's so cute.
