 * When I first started on this anime, I was curious how it would turn out,
 * since the trailer left a mixed impression on me and all I knew was the summary
 * about how people would die and then turn into books.
 * It still seemed pretty vague to me then.
 * But thanks to its varied, some-what attractive characters, I was at least :interested in what they're going to do. So hence, the first few episodes.


 * It starts off with the obvious protagonists and their adversaries~not a doubt :initially for earlier episodes.
 * In short, we have the 'Armed Librarians' doing their jobs and their supposed :sanctuary, Bantorra library.
 * While on the other hand, we also have 'the Church of Drowning in God's Grace'.
 * Both intentions will persist in the story and get lost somewhere in the middle of :it, making you question the sanity, values and the twisted mystery of their world.


 * It might take a few episodes and a little further to get warmed up with most of :the characters, including supporting roles.
 * Some were well-thought out for continuation and surprises, while for some, it was :closure.
 * Most of the questions would only be answered well before the curtains fall.
 * So you'll need just a little patience for everything to fall in place but you :would not have to fret over boring episodes since 27 episodes will soon uncover :fast. In fact, I felt that some arcs/characters could have been explored more.


 * This is a some-what, serious-themed anime, along the lines of the frailties of :life, tragedy, pain, humanity, love and if I could add, deliverance.


 * Overall, the anime left a satisfactory and yet, a relieved, bittersweet closure :for me.
