I'm a little put off yet relieved that it's a short. One one hard, it might have been fun as a regular length show, but premise wouldn't fully allow it, kinda how I feel about Library Wars. At the same time, I can never take shorts seriously.

I'm enjoying this show. The concept presented reminds me of Library War, except for the fact that Chocolate Underground isn't taking itself seriously like LW did. Surprisingly the animation is pretty decent for an ONA, but then again it's Production I.G so I should have expected this.

I heard it through mixi and I'm still wondering how to enforce it but apparently they are going to hold the employers responsible. Yes I do think this is some sort of backlash from the anime company.
