The action, romance comedy, Library Wars the live action movie will be opening in Singapore theaters on the 12th of September 2013!
More commonly known as Toshokan Sensou to the fans of the series, the story depicts a scenario where the nation’s censorship have taken up arms. And to protect the freedom of information from these radicals, the Librarians are now a fully armed para-military force.
Staring the youngest member of V6, Junichi Okade as the stoic Officer Dojo (Atsushi Dojo) and Nana Eikura as the fool hardy Kasahara (Iku Kasahara). Directed by the director of GANTZ, Shinsuke Sato, this movie is already quite a blockbuster.

Adding on the fact that the movie will based on the 2008 Seiun award winning novel also titled Library Wars. Not to mention it has been adapted into an anime television series in 2008 and an action flick worthy animated movie in 2012. This movie should be irresistible, even for a passive fan like me.
Synopsis:
In 2019, public anger at media excess has led to censorship of television, newspapers, the internet, books, movies, and music under the ‘Media Betterment Act’. To fight the armed ‘Betterment Squads’ that go around destroying objectionable materials, the nation’s libraries have formed their own para-military ‘Library Defense’. Iku Kasahara (Nana Eikura) is a new recruit to the corps, where her instructor and squad leader is Atsushi Dojo (Junichi Okada). At first repelled by his by-the-book approach to leadership, she is gradually won over by his commitment to their battle for ‘books’ and ‘the freedom to know.’
The live action movie first open in Japan earlier this year. The flame of war will soon be reaching Singaporean shore, this September 12th. For those eager to catch the movie first, a movie premier screening has been announced for the 6th of September and tickets are available for purchase from Filmgarde.
Library Wars opens in Singapore on the 12th of September, in Japanese with English and Chinese subtitles.
