I feel like I seem to be doing a fair few of these posts over the last week or two, but Sentai Filmworks, a subsidiary of Section23 Films that is responsible for the dubbing and distribution of English anime releases in North America have recently announced their acquisition of the anime series “The Book of Bantorra”. This anime is based on the light novel series written by Ishio Yamagata and illustrated by Shigeki Maeshima while the anime itself is directed by Toshiya Shinohara, with character designs by Masaki Yamada and music by Yoshihisa Hirano. The series will soon be available through multiple digital outlets and will be released as a hybrid language DVD later this year.
In another time and place, on a world of pain and sorrow, when someone dies, their soul doesn’t go to Heaven or Hell – it becomes a book. A book that reveals the deceased’s innermost secrets… and can be read by anyone. Protecting these priceless treasures is the elite organization known as the Armed Librarians. It’s their job to keep the books and the knowledge within them safe from those who would misuse or destroy them. It’s a tough, dangerous job, so Chief Librarian Hamyuts Maseta recruits only the best and the brightest psychics to join her team of expert fighters. But will they be good enough to stop the fanatics of the Church of Drowning in God’s Grace from wrecking vengeance on the entire world? Only time will tell, but that book hasn’t been written yet. Welcome to the Library of Bantorra, where the past is an open book.
