Wouldn't you know I totally overlooked this show in the "Fall Preview" at first look? It seems that I end up following the shows that sneak up on me, I'm looking at you Princess Lover. Anyway, Bantorra is based off a series of light novels and is being animated by "David Production". I know nothing of David Production besides it sounding like someones upstart music company...Still they have Geass Season 2 and Ristorante Paradiso listed in their ANN credits. While the staff seems competent enough, the name that caught my attention was the character designer, Masaki Yamada. Masaki is most known for his Appleseed character designs but has also dabbled in hentai with Lingeries and G-Taste. Turning away from my superficial side, the plot reads as follows:
"In the story of the light novels, all the dead people of the world have been turned into "books" stored in the Bantorra library. A boy named Koria Tonisu has had his memories erased and his chest embedded with a bomb. He is sent to kill Hamyuttsu Meseta, the world's most powerful armed librarian. However, he falls in love at first sight with this beautiful woman in charge of the "books," and he gets enveloped in the great war over the library."
If that sounds strange to you, you can always check out the trailer. Amnesic suicide bomber targeting a librarian? Count me in.
