I'm interested in this one, very very much.

I'm interested in this one.

I think if translated into English, it would say "Fighting Master".

SOUNDS INTRESTING INDEED

soz for caps, sounds intresting indeed, reminds me of something but can't quite recall what.

[TwEeD]

Dunno what to think about this one, first episode wasn't all that great imo.
Weird premise, let's just hope it's a grower

[Path]

I think if translated into English, it would say "Fighting Master".

You are confusing "shishou" and "shisho"; the former can mean master, whereas the latter means librarians (in this instance).

I'm also interested in this one, didn't have a chance to watch the first episode yet, but so far doesn't seem like people like it **lowering expectations**

[dbml]

Episode one certainly didn't disappoint. Very interesting concept and story, good animation.

zomg... the Meats! They're gonna get ya!

[Takeshi]

Episode 2 is already out by HorribleSubs, guess I'll start by watching the two eps, Underwater is also doing the show. Gonna watch their first episode and then second episode by HS.

[dbml]

Episode 2 was solid. I'm definitely gonna follow this one through.

[Havoc10K]

l don't really know what to think about this, it was ok l guess, but isn't she a bit overpowered and cold ?

this show might be really something good, l like the idea of books storing etc, artwork is good, but so far the story didn't make an impression on me, tough it is interesting, don't get me wrong, l'm not criticizing, l'll need some more eps to get into this seriously, but l don't dislike it, l only wonder what that guy will do now, will he follow his mission or decide on his own now :]

[Takeshi]

So far there's 9 episodes out? Could someone who is watching this say a bit about the show? Is it worth watching?

I think the last episode I saw was episode 3.

[Havoc10K]

last ep l saw was ep 2 and it wasn't very impressive to me, everything was pretty much said too fast from the very begining and kind of didn't hook me, but if it indeed gets more interesting onwards, l might take a look at those eps tonight and tell you in the morning (2:38 pm atm here)

Edit:
stir clear of HS releases of this show, superbly failures.

[Nikran]

this series is pretty crappy tbh =P

[Takeshi]

this series is pretty crappy tbh =P

Yet you're still watching it. =P

Might as well just use my time on shows that are worth it.

[Havoc10K]

l watched all eps l missed out and tell you what:

1- every moment this show in any episode might, just might get interesting, they nail it and crush it, every time something interesting comes up, they distract you with something meaningless, l'll use a spoiler on something that could have meaning but they destroyed for no real reason, simply stupid l'd say.

at one momment, that blonde chick realized shes in love with one of the Librarians who eloped with a weapon and was branded a traitor, this plot could have been interesting, and what they did ? they erased her memories of that guy and her emotions for him, utter fail, and it could have been interesting.

2- I find Sasameki Koto more entertaining at this point than a show that tries hard to not have viewers, not to mention fans, l can't belive how much they smack this show with fails, it really had potential in the first episode, but then they started bashing it with a nail board.

unfortunately for me, l cave a tendency to finish what l started, and so fat this show at ep 18 is nothing more than a waste of time, yes, l waste time on this, but since l watch this when l'm done with ongoing shows and aren't watching anything else atm l do it, there were some interesting twists in plot but l think l'll need a manga resource for this to be at least enjoyable, l mean, where is really has something that might develop it's being ended, as l said above, l'm hoping for something really interesting like

Hamyuts Meseta dying, that would be interesting, to be killed by this wimp would be fucking funny.

sadly l'm stil lfollowing this show, even tough l'm doing it just because l started watching this and l'm watching only few eps in a row when l have absolutely nothing else, my opinion stays firm, this show is being butchered literally, the good story and what you could cal la good fight, everything ends before it really starts, this show really had potential, untill it started airing, l'm watching this cuz one of my friends is actually liking this crap (as l told him, this is worse that crap) the most annoying point in buthcery of this show is the fact they just killed the best character in this show, l'm now like, WTF ?!? what purpose did that have, the following eps showed very little meaning to her death, as it ended the arc as quickly as it started, with nothing meaningfull, l hope this will get licenced by funi so we can spare BBT from this piece of shit.

[erious]

relentless bashing

...oh shit, and after watching first episode I thought it was going to be amusing.
Damn.
Anyway, I'll try a few more eps, but mind spoiling me few things? Most importantly who dies(it won't annoy me so much if I know who not get attached to), also

does this stay like this? Her feelings are just erased like that and never mentioned again?

l tought l was making a blog here lol,

(click to show/hide)

the girl that doesn't belive in violence, the red haired one, with great body and really cute, l forgot her name, shes a great martial arts fighter, the much later episodes focus on her origin with much information but thats the person l never imagined to be dying in this show, it comepletely ruined the mood, l would kill everyone except her, she was like the councious of the armed librarians

no

(click to show/hide)

it's said that after drinking the shit and saying what you want to froget you completely forget, a masterful wipe, they decided not to mention anything about the case in her presence, but she catches a silly habit of adding honey to the tea, altough she never used honey or sugar, and she always catches herself on that, later on he comes back to be interviewed and to say what made him do that, unfortunately he rans off again and is killed by acting director bitch, altough she thought he learned something usefull, like the truth behind armed librarians that only the acting directors know, but that wasn't it, if so she was considering letting him live, but she laughed at him and killed him, the lost memories in order to be restored have to be rebuilt, she learned about her feelings eventualy from one of the librarians, and was perplexed, cuz it happened the moments he came back and she was in a pinch on what to do

l have one episode to complete, but l'm not recommending this show to nayone, l'm just doing this so no one else has to go through this shit, damn l should have finished it long time ago but it's so stupid l can't belive l started watching this, and it was strating nicely, the first 2 eps were interesting but afterwards it went so downhill it's painful, and the death of that girl just placed a nail in the coffin.

l wonder if the manga is a lot better or it's the same crap.

[erious]

That sounds like such an utter and horrible trainwreck I'm going to have to watch this.
And "not believing in violence gets you killed" oh wow, the writer seems to really like to be DARK and GRIM and SERIOUS... Shit like that is usually really shallow and immature(and a bait for emo teenagers who only watch mature anime for mature people such as themselves, which would explain the extremely positive comments I read elsewhere), so at least it should be good for a laugh.
Thanks for answering my questions.

she went on a solo mision and got herself involved with a child, she wanted the kid to stop hating everything, it was her nature l guess, over the course of events she was killed by an ex-librarian, l think her death triggered a massive event among librarians, she was sent to stop a pleague, and died in action, there was a guy among the Librarians that wasn't a librarian but he stayed with them for the time being to help her in training and because he felt good in her presense, l don't blame him, she was very cute and was my favorite female in this show, she dies around episode 20 and does some nice work before that, she has a nice ponytail, it's actually funny but she is a princess of the smallest country in the world, her father made her a princess by saying something like "this entire world belongs to you" and ever since that she wanted the entire world to be hers, and as a responsible ruler she decided to help everyone in need instead of simply conquering the world, unusual but that was great about her.

watching the episodes that involve her is what made me finish the series.
