After an excellent anime comes a sequel that instead of feeling like something special, something worthy of turning it into a movie and not a second season, feels more like a long episode with a satisfying ending. The movie is fine, I have no major complaints, it just doesn't feel like the movie it should be.
And above all, it is appreciated that they finally focus more on romance, since last season it was very little present, instead in this movie it finally develops, something that the viewer is very grateful for.
The stories close satisfactorily but it takes a long time to feel, however, the ending is emotional, definitely satisfying and worth remembering with nostalgia.

Summary: This movie is a continuation of the Toshokan Sensou anime series, and though it is standalone to some extent, watching the series first is recommended for important context. It picks up where the series left off and follows Kasahara and Dojo as they protect an author from government persecution after the plot of his novel inspires a terrorist attack. The movie is an upgrade over the series and improves on some of its biggest faults. Enough to solidly recommend it, especially to those that watched and liked the series.
Positives:
+ Much improved action and plot drama. Giving the Media Betterment Committee an actual reason for wanting to censor books in the movie makes for a vast improvement over their non-specific villainy in the series, and the plot feels more dynamic as a resul…

Library War : Enhanced!
Boom. Smack some of grands into the series and now it's even better. This movie was the finale of Library War. It concludes everything. The adventure of dramatic censorship ends here.
It was probably the best ending it could've offered. And I was overjoyed and cried at some point when I was watching the movie. It was just that perfect.
There's no flaw at all. I think that this was the perfect movie and the best way to end the astonishing adventure of Library War.
I'm just... Speechless.. There's nothing else to write about this movie now...
Watch this movie after watching the series.

I read a manga adaption of this series (Library Wars: Love & War) and from the very first page I loved it, but I didn't know how much it would come to mean to me. The idea is unique to me and the characters are realistic in a way that can jump out at you if you can relate to them.
While certain things are easy to predict in this series, it's done in a way that still leaves you curious about things and this causes one to continue on with the series despite situational irony. While the main focus is events that occur in the library and protecting books, the drama and dark aspects of these concepts are lightened by giving you breaks in the story so that you can see the relationships the characters have with each other outside of work and how the things actually affect them- as emotion canno…

The best reason to watch this movie is for the romantic development and overall feeling of conclusion given to the characters. It's hard for any longtime fan of this series not to feel satisfied with the developments here.
While this movie does explain the major plot points of the anime series and features a standalone story that can be enjoyed by anyone, it is still a direct sequel. You'll get the most out of this movie if you're familiar with the characters and their relationships with each other.
So how does this compare with the original anime series? The feel is more or less the same, though it's great to see the story play out with Production I.G.'s top-notch animation. Some scenes, particularly the chase scene and the climax, stand out quite well because of the dynamic sense of mo…

I like how the character development progresses over the period of the movie. The story starts off a bit shallow but then, as the story progresses, becomes more in-depth and more enjoyable. For those who have not watched the original show, you have nothing to worry about. The movie explains the main part of the plot from the original series.
This movie was incredibly fun to watch and there was a lot of emotional moments especially (Without giving too much away) near the end of the film. It's one of those movies that give your soul a bit of "boost" (Sorry if that sounds corny) and makes you feel happy after watching it.
