| Little Busters had 230+ hours worth of gameplay (not including refrain here) and J.C Staff summarizes it into 26 episodes. Each heroine gets 2~3 episodes for her arc. There are a total of 6 heroines, so that would total 12~18 episodes. Refrain lasted more than 5 hours for me, and with just that I already felt as if Jun Maeda had rushed the entire thing. I'd say, the anime could have been better, but its not. No matter what epic ending or summarizing J.C Staff could possibly offer, 26 episodes isn't gonna cut it. Conclusion: The anime is but a small spec compared to the epicness the visual novel had to offer |

If what you said is true, then the better it can get. Looking at your avatar, I'd guess your favorite route is Kud's right? You should be able to understand my feelings when I see that Kud's route is diminished to a mere 3 episodes T_T |

| The anime is doing a fairly decent job at adapting it, but the experience would not only be an improvement, but it would be a different way to take in the experience as well. In Komari's arc, I would say that it is definitely better in the VN than it was in the anime. Mio's route, I enjoyed it more in the anime, but it was better in the VN and of course you get a different version of the story with the romance still intact. Not only that, but you get the glorious experience of viewing Refrain without having to wait so long to see it in the anime (that would be the greatest bonus you would get from playing the visual novel). |
| Try it and see for yourself ~ Watching animated characters of an anime over CGs with voices in the background give various viewers a different perspective on their view of what is better or not. |
 |
| Better if you're familiar with visual novels, otherwise it may seem extremely boring for a very long time. But better. |
| You can turn Komari's voice off in the VN. If that doesn't sell you on the idea that it's better, then nothing will. Also, someone said that it takes 230~ hours to beat it earlier - what? I don't remember my time, but I am positive that I didn't take over 200 hours to beat the thing. I would think it'd be more accurate to say that I beat it in roughly 100~ hours. |
| I beat it in about 50-60 hours, but didn't do the EXroutes. It might take 200 hours if you don't skim through the common route during every heroine's route playthrough, but otherwise it shouldn't take a ridiculous amount of time. Once you get through one character route, the entire rest of the game is smooth sailing, and you'll quickly be immersed in the world of Little Busters. LB was my first VN, but nothing grabbed me and got my hooked as quickly as LB. G-senjou no Maou, Rewrite, Fate/Stay Night are good, but I don't feel deeply compelled to finish them lol. Personally, I wish I could re-play Refrain without knowing the ending, and maybe the individual route endings. |

Clannad was the 300 hour guide, EX was THAT MUCH LONGER than Clannad so..... Still can't understand why someone can hate Komari's voice. LB VN is good. VN overall are good for the soul. |

Pjupp said: As I've already downloaded it, I need to know if it's as good or better than the for the moment ongoing anime? WAAAAY BETTER! |
| Straight up ridic better. I can't even recommend the anime adaptation of it. The VN is fantastic however. |
 |
| As I'm a type of person that who isn't comparing between the anime version and the original source(VN), it really depends on you since the anime version and the original source had kind of different atmosphere. Different atmosphere means there are parts that won't see in the anime version. If you want to watch the anime version of Little Busters but on the other way around, wait for the EX paths(Kanata's, Sasami's, Saya's) to be adapted as anime. Sure both in the VN and their anime adaption will have the same atmosphere. That's why I have higher hopes about adapting the EX paths than the regular paths + Refrain. |

Pjupp said: As I've already downloaded it, I need to know if it's as good or better than the for the moment ongoing anime? The VN is way, way better. At this point, I just see the anime as some enjoyment for those who played the VN and want to see some scenes animated (even though JC animation is really average). Let's say that I disagree that the anime is a good adaptation. Surely it is faithful to the main events of the story and is telling it in a new perspective, but some strong pacing issues can ruin the experience for most anime-only viewers. The common route adaptation is the main source of the problem: introductions of characters and comedy scenes are way too stretched, taking time that could be used to character development; one route was inserted before the end of the introductions; also, Rin's development feel inconsistent. The girls routes until now range from average (Komari) to good (Mio), they are the best adapted parts; homever, when the whole content doesn't make the audience feel for the characters, they are kinda ineffective. That's why I think VN fans has most chance of liking them (since they already know the original story). Also, there's a "storytelling trick" that the anime can't reproduce entirely, no matter how good that adaptation could be. Can't say more because of spoilers, but when you finish the VN you'll understand what it is. tl;dr play the VN and (if you like it) watch the anime after for some nostalgia - unless you get too irritated with severe pacing problems and lack of romance in some routes. |
 "Like this too we met in a dirty and ugly world; Thank you for this miracle." |
| This VN was more satisfying than sex. The VN will get you intimately involved in the Little Busters universe, and help you get to know and enjoy the anime cast. By the time you complete the first route, the entire cast will have already "grown on you" more than if you had seen the entire first 25 episodes, because of all the time and varied events you participate in, from a first person perspective. Then, you get to replay the game with different twists, prioritizing a new heroine each time, until the Refrain route. By then, you'll be able to practically predict how a character will speak and react to anything, and they'll become some of your closest friends (or waifus/husbandos *ahem* Kyousuke/Kud/Kurugaya- K-squad too strong) Yeah, it's a whole different and wonderful experience. I wish I could wipe my memory and do it over again. |

That also applies to the anime itself. It seriously depends on a person whether they prefer to see the anime adaptation or the original source. The adaptation isn't really bad unlike Tsukihime anime so if they enjoyed the anime itself and completely satisfied with it, there's no need for them to go play its VN unless they want to feel a kind of different atmosphere. No significant events were left out in the anime, only some trivial things so they don't make any difference in terms of enjoyment. This thread only leaves "Which kind of atmosphere do you prefer?". |

| To summarize everything that I know...... 1.) The visual Novel is considered an epic Visual Novel with 100 hours + gameplay WHERE EVERY LINE OF DIALOGUE COUNTS TO THE EPICNESS OF THE VN (if you choose to skip the common route it'll be 80+ hours, to be safe, I'll make it 100+ hours. If you don't skip, it'll take you 230+ hours) The anime CANNOT summarize a 100+ hour gameplay in 26 Season1+26 second season (if there IS a second season which would most probably be refrain) episodes cannot contain 100+ hours of gameplay. 2.) J.C Staff has enhanced the comedy of the anime, much like how KyoAni was able to make the Clannad anime funnier than the actual Visual Novel, HOWEVER, unlike KyoAni, J.C Staff added a few unnecessary scenes in some of the episodes, whereas KyoAni never added original content into Clannad other than combining Tomoyo route and Kyou route, then making them heartbroken at the end is purely Original from KyoAni (comment on that if I'm wrong). 3.) Unlike KyoAni, J.C Staff rushed the routes of the girls into 1 season (please note that I am 100% sure that they will finish all routes by the end of the first season, if there will be second season, its definitely only for refrain). KyoAni never rushed on the routes, but they DID do something worse, which was completely ignore 3 routes namely Kyou, Tomoyo and Kappei routes. (Kyou and Tomoyo are summarized in 1 episode, which is what I consider to be very stupid since each route from the original VN took me more than 23 hours each. I have no idea what happened to Kappei, but I can guess that they didn't include him since that would mess up future episodes for Kyou). NOTE: I'm not saying J.C Staff is worse than KyoAni, and please don't group me with the KyoAni groupies that are complaining simply because LB will be made by J.C Rather than KyoAni. For me, the reason why I'm complaining is because KyoAni would have made a better job since their more experienced in making Key's visual novels. I could care less who or what company makes the LB anime, all I care about is that they make a good job doing it. 4.) There is no existing anime that has EVER surpassed their Visual Novel counterparts. NEVER(Unless the VN is a total piece of shit, and the anime revised almost all scenes because of its shitiness) The only way to actually surpass the visual novel is to make an aanime that can last for more than 80 episodes, and is able to put EVERY SINGLE dialogue that was shown in the game. (Note that using the trick used by Amagami by having one route per arc then goes back to square one at the start of the next arc will not be effective in key's visual novels because ALL of key's visual novel's routes are connected to each other) 5.) Finally, the way they depict the dramatic scenes is simply too dull. The emotions aren't shown very much, and the visual novel was simply pictures and voices, and yet THAT made me more sad than this sh*t drama they gave out. I guess J.C Staff is emphasizing on friendships rather than the actual drama itself. WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY I F*CKING SAID I WANTED A KYOANI X KEY COLLABORATION, SINCE KYOANI ALWAYS STAYS LOYAL TO THE ORIGINAL CONTENT AND IS PRAISED FOR ACCURACY ON CONVEYING THE EMOTIONS. Once again I remind that I'm not a KyoAni fanboy that flames every single time KyoAni isn't praised. Conclusion: Well....despite all the ridiculing, I can't really say that the anime is a fail. The anime is quite good actually, but if your comparing with its original visual novel, it'll simply be a spec of dust compared to the original. If your looking for comedy though, the anime is most definitely better. Some of the jokes in the visual novel are sometimes dull without proper animation. |

| I had to mute Komari voice at one point it sounded like The anime is doing a great job i think you could get away with watching certain episodes of the anime all common routes and skipping them on the visual novel right through the girls route. But all in all i want to believe that J.C staff is saving the emotions until refrain. |

But all in all i want to believe that J.C staff is saving the emotions until refrain. I recommended this to a friend of mine (although he's lazy as fawk and doesn't want to do it.) Yes, you could probably read all the girls' route endings in order and skip the common route in the VN, but I'd recommend waiting for the season to end if you're going to do that. Also, I'd recommend reading through Mio's route even though it was animated. Komari's can be skipped. There are a few things in the common route that are vital to the story, primarily some scenes with the original Little Busters members that have yet to be animated. (Kengo Kyousuke Masato Riki Rin) |

| Little Busters! is the vanilla version of the game. Ends after refrain and does not include H scenes Little Busters! Ecstasy adds several lines to some of the routes, includes 3 extra routes (Kanata, Sasami, Saya) as well as H-scenes. Little Busters! Memorial version is basically Ecstasy without the H-scenes. Little Busters! Perfect edition just came out and is basically Ecstasy with additional voice acting for side characters. (A-chan, Suginami, etc.) The translation for the regular version is 100% translated to english. Ecstasy translation has translated pretty much everything BUT they have just started translating Saya's route which is INCREDIBLY long (don't expect to see a full translation for a couple more months to a year) Also I do not believe they are going to be releasing a partial patch so pretty much there is no translation up for Kanata/Sasami routes at this time. I see people asking all the time whether they should wait for the ecstasy translation and i'm going to say NO to that. The translation is going to take a pretty damn long time to come out, and the 3 extra routes pretty much happens after Refrain so you won't be missing much by playing the original version besides a few additional lines in Haruka/Kud routes. |

What he said. Don't bother waiting for the next versions. Just grab whatever is available now I did a little bit of half-assed math to estimate the time needed for the translation to be completed based on their advances during the last 4 months and my guess is that in order to translate the entirety of Saya route, they will need about 5-6 Months. Considering that there's also a lot of editing and proofreading to do afterwards... well, let's say it will take a while until they can release a 100% EX/ME patch.^^ It's just a rough estimation though. There could be about 100 reasons why they might get it done sooner and about 1000 possible causes for them to take longer. |

Thanks a lot for the quick reply. So perfect version just has additional voice acting. Ecstasy looks tempting to me but i guess it's better to play the vanilla version first and wait for the translation. Just like how everyone said, I'd suggest ME/EX over the vanilla version. (and PE over ME if Doki/Team Fluffy decides to make a patch for it) Why? It doesn't make sense to play the original and then get the ME/EX version as the ME/EX version at the moment is exactly like the vanilla version. The only difference is that you'll run into a few extra untranslated lines and not be able to do the Muscle Sensation (which isn't a big deal as it's uploaded on youtube). And like Funya said, the EX routes are intended to be read after you've finished Refrain as they're locked until you finish Refrain (unless if you choose Yes on the Secrets of the World part). |

Funya-Usagi said: and the 3 extra routes pretty much happens after Refrain Correction, the events of Kanata's path is still before Refrain but it can be after Haruka's path. But yes, you can only access Kanata's path and the other 2 EX paths after beating Refrain. The only EX path that it takes place after the story of Refrain is Sasami's path. Saya's path is the 2nd story/interloped story of LB. |

As much as I like KEY and VN in general, some of their writer has a horrible pacing. Example : Haruka's route. The anime sometimes have a very past pacing due to cramming things, but sometimes they also cram some bad/unnecessary events, so I'm not really complaing at that. The only problem for me now are budgets (animation quality) and their director (sound directing and directing for some certain events). Besides of that, the anime is doing fine/good. And about KEY-KyoAni, from what I've heard they aren't THAT loyal as people usually claim. It's just that people rarely play the VN before the anime airs and they're very good at execution that people rarely care about "precisely faithful" thingy. |

| I've only played the vanilla version so far, but imo the VN shits on the anime. The side routes are entertaining but not amazing, but it all works out for Refrain. Refrain is even more amazing than everyone says it is. Agree with boomer above me that Haruka's route is actually one of the better routes (it's my personal favorite, though probably because Haruka is my favorite side heroine). |

I am slow reader and I'm not native-born speaker thus it took me nearly 3 weeks of intensive playing (~8-10 hours a day, skipping through read text on next playthroughs) to get 100% completition. Was worth it all the time though. Best routes are Haruka's and Mio's (almost poetic) I would say, those drow me to tears many times. Kurugaya route is also good though some things are left unexplained there (even with her true end but that's only few more sentences and one CG). Komari irritated me both in anime and VN but that's mainly because of her voice. Rin routes and Refrain were nicely done too. Kud had good ending but else it was meh. Now to rewatch anime which I thought horrible before, let's see if my opinion on it changes now. |

That's a fair concern I guess, not going to lie Haruka's route was super long. The slice of life stuff was a bit on the rough side too since no one else was around or the focus just wasn't there. It does make the route different in that sense too though considering the heavy focus of Haruka being alone and whatnot. |

| Ah,I guess it's the key difference. While Haruka anime (in her route) is (almost) always supported by every other LB members, Haruka VN is practically alone with only Riki supporting her at times. That resulting in a heavy contrast with Kanata. While we hardly have any focus to her in VN except when she interacts with Haruka, Kanata anime is the one who seems very lonely. |

Yeah that was what I was getting at as well, it just makes you feel more for Futaki when you consider the anime and the way Haruka gets so much help from everyone. The heavy focus on just Haruka does make it a bit bumpy at times especially when you get to her romance portion. |
