So, ten episodes in. There's more plot to this than Sacred Blacksmith, and it's darker and takes itself a mite more seriously... not that it's necessarily a whole lot better. There's some fun bits, though, and I like the current arc's conceit of a guy for whom ants are his superpower.
*shrug* There's enough going for this series for me not to consider it as unintentionally hilarious as Sacred Blacksmith (god I love/hate/adore/love that show so much), but nowhere near enough for it to really be good. While the first episode is plenty ridiculously stupid, the series... well, it just becomes more standardly stupid over time, I guess.
The Acting Director is fun, though, I wish she was in another series. However, she does much good here - when one of our tiresome bishonen-y leads is wangsting and wangsting to his heart's content, she just rips off the offending item from his chest. Well, that, and she's a psychopathic amoral sexy woman who likes killing things. Why is it I have such a weakness for them? There is no doubt something very wrong with me when Haruka Harahara and Revy routinely near the top my mental list of favourite anime females.
Fanservice is shameless almost to point of making no sense - how Noloty keeps her clothes from falling off I'll never know but also sort of hope ceases at an opportune moment. Though shameless it lacks the kitschy humour about it typical to other series, so... I guess, eh.
And for a show obstensibly about librarians, this series is suspiciously lacking in the bookish Yomiko Readman department. Where's the klutzy raven-haired bookworm with big glasses? It's not a series about action-hero librarians unless you have one, you hear me? Le sigh.
In a nutshell: Meh, but why not. I'm bored.
