Rising7 said: Depends, Since Kanata's route(The first half of it) is before Refrain, it's safe to assume that on this adaptation that is, her route takes place after all of the regular heroines' routes, that includes Haruka's route too but excluding Rin's and probably Kurugaya's. Though I prefer that the first half of Kanata's route didn't take place at anything and just act independently. |

| Thanks for the reply Temouji and everyone else. I just noticed something? |
| Just want to confirm. EX take place after Refrain right? |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |

Depends on the route. http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=715055#msg27309539 Tennouji_ said: To ultimately answer the question, because I bet many people will ask this, jot down this simple note: Saya's route = Before Refrain. Heck, after Riki recruit all girls to complete Little Busters without solving any of the girls' problems. Sasami's route = After Refrain. Kanata's route = 3/4 of her story is before Refrain and the last 1/4 is after Refrain. (Yes this is confusing) So yeah, at the very least, Sasami's and Kanata's routes have something to do with the story since they're after Refrain(And based on how their stories go) but of course, like the other heroines' routes, they have their own problems(This includes Saya's too) and Riki must do something. Anyway, it heavily depends on how the anime adaptation will go but this is how it really goes on the VN. |

| Any idea when the full EX version of the opening will be out ? |
marian11 said: Any idea when the full EX version of the opening will be out ? Well, there are 2 EX versions of the opening. One is the newest that is used here and the other one is used on the VN. Both EX versions are different. If you meant the one that's used here, I believe you should wait for months or something, if you meant the one that's used on the VN: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5dOb_N4wV8 |
|
| I hope these OVA's will be properly explained in terms of timeline, if only to save me reading up on VN which I haven't had to do yet with this series. Anyway this was a good episode of Angel Busters! (or is it Little Beats!), Looking forward to next months. |

I already explained the chronological order of the EX routes many times. http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=715055#msg27309539 And I doubt JC Staff will even explain the timeline order either because there's actually no damn time to explain that given there are only 8 episodes or the EX routes will act independently(Meaning, omnibus format or something like that). |

I appreciate the link. I don't think time limitations would be much of an issue in order to give a hint as too when the episode takes place. A quick shot of the date would be enough for most to know when in the story it takes place, although I suppose this is a non-issue for the people familiar with the source. |

| I have no idea what's going on, but I'm liking it. Saya's pretty cool; she also has good taste in weapons. :P |
| The spiced up OP by mintjam was nice At first I thought it was Wafu with the gun Tokido Saya looks like Rin with different hair It wasn't exciting, maybe the following episode would change that I would have preferred some focus on Kyousuke, Nishizono or Kengo to show the background about the eyepatched girl for once, instead of the three others which had a minor role in the first season to begin with |
| For reference,Saya's gun is this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1911_pistol |

| If I was Riki I would have shot that little bitch when she handed him that gun. Try to kill me 3 times? I'd be seriously pissed. |

| I absolutely loved this!!!!!! Saya is such a cutie but also a huge badass!!!! its gonna be really hard waiting for the next episode! :) |

| saya is yurippe... lol awesome first episode... it seems i need to read lb! Ex first, and then continue watching this. |
     |
| For some reason I feel as if these arcs of the visual novel will be better animated than the original series... |
| I believe that unless you know for sure that you don't like a concept, you should keep exploring it. Whether it be characteristics of people or a genre of some sort, you never know if you don't like it until you've seen quality work corresponding to that genre. Keep exploring until you've found something you enjoy, or something of quality. Then you know what's bad, what's good, and what isn't for you. ( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑ Everyday life. |
| Pretty good start. Can't wait for this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTwyfLvjmnI |
| bishoujo with guns... partners... I swear i seen that one before! |
| My Guitar Covers: Playlist I CAN ALWAYS SHOW MY EVERYTHING TO YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUU |
| Glad to see this animated and it's been really good so far!!! I haven't played the Visual Novel for this yet so I'm excited to see what happens. Saya is an interesting character and those Darkness Executives are really mysterious. Although Kyousuke claims that he is unable to do anything, I have a feeling that he is the leader of that organization but what is the purpose of them? I have a feeling that I've seen Saya before... Can't wait for the next episode!!! 5/5 |
  |
| Kinpatsu is<3.Saya is probably the only thing interesting about this...and the shooting too. Generally surprised already like this way better than Refrain. |
| Love the First Episode, the art i think is more better :) unfortunately only 8 episodes :( |
 |
| Add some action to Little Busters and what u got........................ Great episode remind me of Kanon (2006), i also like Tokido hair kinda wierd but looks great :) |
 |
| It was good to see some of the characters again after all this time waiting :) The first episode is the only one I've seen so far and it was pretty good, it will be interesting to see how the next few episodes play out :) |

| I have...an ARIA DE JAVU. |
| "If you reject me, I'll blast a hole in you!" Kanzaki H. Aria Just kidding.  |
| I finally get to watch this (and thankfully last two episodes are not so far away). It wasn't bad. Especially in context of previous series. Though I heard Saya route is quite a different than previous story and Sasami's takes place after school trip in real world. Wonder if that's true. And I am also wondering whether they still apply their no romance policy for Riki. Sadly I still haven't played those EX routes, and their translation is taking forever. So at least I can watch this. |
| Oh wow, Saya coming back and shamelessly threatening him to help her was hilarious. I somehow doubt that she's really a secret agent. Probably a fantasy of her. She's really crazy that girl. That were some sicko assasination plan. But she's a cutie, must admit it. |

| Guns are really loud. The whole school should've heard that. Unless she wasn't really shooting bullets. The OP seems to be a slightly different version of the OP of the original Little Buster OP. That girl on the cover of the manga that Kyousuke was reading looked a lot like Saya. Is she really a sercret agent/spy? This is starting to go to ridiculous ways. What's with the shadow monsters!? Guns!? No one hears them!? Sercret cave under the school?! What!? I wonder what Saya is really like. I wonder if she's just pretending or its all a dream. Time will tell. |
| Is Riki a retard? Why didn't he report to teachers that there is a student with a freaking GUN trying to kill him? Also Saya is quite annoying, no wonder she wasn't a heroine in the main series. |
| Interesting first episode! I wonder how it will continue! |
 |
Wimwinkle said: It was like Little Busters meets Angel Beats, looking forward to this. no wonder i get this familiar vibe... i guess not much about the rest of the little buster crew then? o well |
  |
| Hmm a bit neutral about this episode it wasnt rlly interesting.. And it felt a bit odd and out of place. She makes me think of s yangire somehow lol |
