| Not gonna squeal with joy as this was very expected but still nice to have some confirmation at least. |
  |
| Little Busters! Refrain + Mask the Saito OVA Little Busters! EX. Can't contain all this hype, I wonder if it counts as Season 3. hopefully Rewrite adaptation soon. |
 |
| well hopefully it's better than the regular Little Busters anime |

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

I'm hoping that they will one day make a Rewrite adaptation as well. My favorite character from it is Akane Senri. I just realized that the manga is being translated as well so it is something I will start reading soon. One reason I like her is because she is the president of the occult club, and not to mention she is a gamer. http://pds.exblog.jp/pds/1/201104/02/87/c0173587_23323375.jpg |

egnaro315 said: QFT.I'm just going to copy and paste the top comment on that video 'As each day passes until October, my inner tambourine shakes more and more violently. Can you hear it? Shaka-Shaka-Hey!' I haven't read EX yet, but I've only heard good things about the routes (especially Saya's), so I'm looking forward to it. Though I hope that the translation will be over before it airs. Imo I don't think it will be any more than a 1-cour. And more like an OVA than a true sequel as it stands now. That will depend on whether they will include romance or not though. |
 |
| tbh I was expecting them to put in this seasons arc, but that works too. |
 |
| I would like P.A to do LB cuz Angel Beats had beautiful visuals |

Some scenes in Refrain would shine a lot more if PA works animate it but no one wants Refrain to be crammed into 3 episodes. PA Works isn't THAT amazing.The opening looks better than any actual scene in that show. It had good animation, but not even as good as Clannad. Maybe there just weren't as many pivotal scenes due to the length, but I don't recall anything groundbreaking. I think the OST and comedy carried it. KyoAni would've been preferable for LB, as they would've probably given it Clannad's number of episodes. There are different producers for different studios, so there'd have to be one who could set Key up with PA Works and give them enough budget to produce 4 cours for Little Busters. 4 cours of anything from PA Works? Hmm. Pony Canyon helped produce Hanasaku Iroha under PA Works and gave a nice based budget for 26 episodes. I think Aniplex didn't put out as much for Angel Beats (not trusting Key/Maeda for some reason?). The thing is, JC Staff, KyoAni, PA Works all have potential with the right director and producer (budget), but we didn't get a good combination with Warner and JC Staff, especially while their good director is working on other crap (Railgun S and AnoHana movie) and is too busy to direct a potentially legendary show instead. Warner sharing budget with other shows also kind of killed it, and it was also LB s1 also seemed quickly announced and produced. (rushed) Well, Angel Beats did have better animation and art for the most part than LB, so I guess they would've been a better choice. I just wanted KyoAni I guess. WELP it's all in the past, why do I keep wasting time with these "what-if" posts? We can continue to languish Key going with JC Staff when they finish ruining Little Busters with the Refrain anime. |

theapplesauceman said: This actually makes me unhappy. Little Busters! EX. was terrible compared to Little Busters! PG, but I guess any EX. visual novel could be turned into an anime and please all the horny guys just looking for fan service, without the care of any story line. As I say this, I know not all people watch/read them for this, but think without this factor, Little Busters! EX. would never be made into an anime. Just my thoughts. Please don't take offence or think I'm talking about everyone that may have enjoyed Little Busters! EX. Uhh, I don't think you understand that key and ero don't mix O__O From what I heard, the H scenes are basically tacked on to the story. And just saying, Saya's route is considered (at least by the Japanese community; not really english community since it's not TLed yet) one of the best heroine routes for its plot and is written by Maeda. That should be enough for JC to continue the franchise. A lot of people actually wanted the EX routes to be animated. |

| People actually think JC Staff is going to make this a hentai series? It's going to be the equivalent of an adaptation of the ME/PE version without the h-scenes. If they manage to show or imply h-scenes in the EX anime I would be shocked. They'd have to change up their broadcasting time and maybe even channels to compensate for that kind of change, or put it straight to OVAs as 18+. |

| Yes! We get a Saya and Sasami route! I really can't wait for this to come out.^^ |

ZetaZaku said: Imply sex? My lolis are pure maidens. They mustn't have sex or I'll send death threats to JC Staff. Oh right, it's only okay if Key writes their lewd defloration. |
| Excluding the common route , the anime has yet to touch any of the ground breaking writing from Maeda.But if they mess up refrain ( somehow) I dont think anyone will want to watch the ex season lol. |
| 19 days until we find out if JC Staff is serious or not. Warner Bros, where's my 3rd Refrain PV? >_< |
| So im not the only one refreshing the warner channel in vain xD |
| Was expecting it to be part of Refrain, but since it's a whole new series, let the games begin! |
 |
| So is the Little Busters series actually good or not? In the Anime form, that is. |

DraconisMarch said: Didn't you drop Little Busters! at episode 6 (according to your list)? Please don't be ecchi. ...But it probably will be. If so, then why would you care if this turns out to be ecchi or not (operating under the assumption that you won't be watching this one either)? |

| Dammit I don't have internet in my house so I didn't see this news early. Why...? Why am I still having some high expectations from this despite on what they did to the first 4 heroine routes? Please I don't want to see Saya's route and Sasami's route getting butchered. DraconisMarch said: Please don't be ecchi. ...But it probably will be. Sorry but Sasami's and Saya's routes contain ecchi. |

| I want my Saya-chan... but Sakasama Sashimi is good as well. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| Okay, I knew of the existence of the game version of Little Busters EX, but for it to be adapted into an anime.... I did NOT see that coming. |
| I also noticed, why there's no romance genre? Saya's route is romance-heavy which I totally doubt they will remove the romance on that route. But then again, it seems this will serve as 3rd season and not just OVAs(But then again, I guess it's too early to tell. Still, Saya's route won't fit in just 2-3 30 min. OVAs FFS) so I wonder what format will they do whether omnibus or continuous. If I'm going to consider the chronological order of EX routes(Minor spoiler): I forgot to reply on this one. 45Ravager said: now I just hope that JC Staff puts in Sha la la Ectasy, and I'll be a happy man. I'm pretty sure they will insert that OST LOL at the 'onsen' scene on Saya's route. :D But then again, here's some eargasm: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eulkqKO8ROM |

Deathnosis said: Note to self: Don't watch this I have checked out episode one from season 1 and its sort of fine but the BGM was kinda F up so I'm not sure will I watch this. Besides I didn't really played EX routes yet. Wow, you gave Little Busters a whole episode? True Key fan here lol. Did you play the VN are you just quick to judge? |
| SAYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA |
   |
| I can't wait to see the EX being animated. Now that refrain and ecstasy are going to be done, rewrite is the only one left. |

Just like on Saya's route PE version that there's 'implied sex scene'. Of course, they didn't show the actual sex because PE is All Ages. |

| I don't mind some bit of fanservice on here and there as long as it doesn't tear down the integrity of the characters themselves. A show should not treat its characters like sacks of meat to be oggled over, to the point of becoming defining aspect of the characters moreso than the characters just being themselves. Which is my main problem with many shows featuring plenty ecchi scenes |

Which is my main problem with many shows featuring plenty ecchi scenes Key is not like that in their works (Clannad, Kanon, etc.) they aren't known for ecchi series, and as far as hentai scenes go in their games, they are written pretty badly (Tomoyo After for example) |
| Well, i don't know much about Key's works aside from LB! and few eps of Clannad But thx for the info anyway |
| Whoa... not a fan but will be watching~ |
  |
| Gonna wait for Rewrite anime adaptations. |
