According to earlier posters who had read the novels, the anime adaptation left out a fair bit of the story and focused more on Kasahara and Dojo's relationship than on the issues of censorship in this alternative version of Japan. Moreover, the anime was
based on only the first volume (
Toshokan Sensou, Library War). The subsequent volumes
Toshokan Nairan (Library Infighting),
Toshokan Kiki (Library Crisis), and
Toshokan Kakumei (Library Revolution) were not adapted.
As for the stormtrooper marksmanship, well, I got the impression that the soldiers on both sides generally sought to avoid inflicting casualties, and shot to maim rather than to kill. Actually, the parts of the conflict often reminded me of a 1981 movie starring a very young Tom Cruise among other actors:
Taps.
I laughed out loud at your mudkip signature by the way. Yes, it's awesome.
