I just finished two military anime recently. One was watched painfully while the other was an enjoyable experience. 

The former had too many faults for me to point out: bad and painful voice acting to listen to, awkward scenes, terrible scene transitions and a horrible plot that goes nowhere and everywhere at the same time. When I finished (which, unfortunately took days because it was such a pain to watch and had terrible loadings) I was asking myself, "So... what's this about?" I don't even have a gist what the direction of the story is, and the character building was terrible, and suddenly relationships are built too fast (yeah... they were pairing up almost everybody in the show). 

So let me tell you here. Don't ever touch the title Soul Link.

Well, for the other anime, the primary reason I watched it is because one of my favourite voice actress was the lead. And her shows never let me down... well, that is, if she's the lead... and if that show is not the terribly violent Kite Liberator. Library War is a really good title to watch. There's a right amount of humour and seriousness balanced within the whole storyline, which I love. It's so much more comfortable to watch(I don't see blood, thank goodness for that), and every episode, there's always something light-hearted to laugh about. Things are explained and it's actually closer to life. This anime actually made me miss being in a uniformed group and also think of my secondary school desires to be in the military, although it's rather impossible since I'm such a weak person. 

Oh well, I'm still in love with military anime, and I'm desperately waiting for the second episode of Gundam Unicorn. Hopefully next season there is a reasonably good military anime to watch.
