| Yes, the clock is one of the plot device of this series so it may hint they're giving the remaining arcs in omnibus format but I don't know why it should reset after Komari's arc. And my reason why I put Rin1? This is the current world what are we seeing at the moment(Just my idea): World A: Common Route -> Komari -> Common Route continuation -> Rin1. World B: (May 28 scene) -> Haruka. World C: (May 28 scene) -> Kud. As you can see, Rin1 is a good finish for World A. If they jump onto Haruka's then reset, I don't think it's fitting. Well, that's how I thought it out. |

MagicFlier said: What do you guys think? The first season won't have any changes by Kyousuke involved but the resets will happen all over the second season I didn't notice your edit. Anyway, yeah it might be but I wonder why they crammed Komari's arc into 3 episodes if they turned out so slow all of the sudden. |

Anyway, yeah it might be but I wonder why they crammed Komari's arc into 3 episodes if they turned out so slow all of the sudden. Maybe they wanted to see the reception. I think Komari would have worked better after Rin1, the way they are making with Rin doing the route along with Riki. Because if Rin became strong like she is now in her own route, it would feel more natural her being more active like she is. |
| Ok after noticing few things while going again (and this time other parts gave me some feels... interesting). There is no real need for reboots - ok except being faithfull to VN but that makes little sense. Komari arc is done so she can go back to background - probably we will have some more insight on relation of her and Rin, and later her moment of awesomeness. Mio and Haruka - there is no need for reboot. Since time in series goes in different way than VN (in terms of time, there is no limit that match is next week or something)- those two can be done without need to reset the story. Kud - as above, problem is it's ending... maybe they will go with her leaving just for a moment while other route is being solved (Mio would be perfect to do it). Kurugaya - there are reboots here all right. But doing it with just one or two days would be enough. What would be messed up is combining it with rest of the routes (if Riki would know what is happening, how would he act). Rin1 + Rin2 - no need for dividing them honestly. Tasks can be mixed with Common Route, ending of it can be also ending of season. She already behaves way better than at the start of VN. And Refrain as second season. It can began with reset (here is one that would fit nicelly), then episodes of Masato, Kengo and Kyousuke (I wonder how they will deal with Masato... as in reality he's really smart but how they will show his thoughts that prove it - but some kind of retrospection episode may work). And straight to ending with Riki and Rin being alone... until Komari messes up everything :D So 26 episodes for first season and ending it with Rin (1+2) and 12 for Refrain, with possible reboot and some kind of retrospection episodes for Masato, Kengo and Kyousuke. |
The only thing that it makes little sense is why only Kurugaya treated a reset. Well, I'm not going to worry anymore if it'll be continuous or omnibus format. I have my valid reason why it should be omnibus format and omnibus format makes more sense. Check the underlined and the encircled part. Little Busters has already a "Higurashi" atmosphere. There are times that Riki can even "break the 4th wall" if you're deciding to re-take a certain heroine's path again which he is UNCONSCIOUSLY(In his point of view, not the player's) going to avoid it and you can re-take it after finishing Refrain.  And the reason why we can't re-take the other 4 but Komari until finishing Refrain, like I said, it has a "Higurashi" atmosphere and this is my guess: Komari and Rin1/Rin2 are connected to each other. Like what I pointed out earlier: Common Route -> Komari -> Common Route continuation -> Rin1/Rin2. The only difference is that in the VN, they made it seperate but JC Staff did manage to conjoined Komari's arc to Common Route. Probably with Rin1 as well if there is. That's probably what Key is trying to point out. Unlike the other 4, it proves that they aren't connected to each other. In fact, different worlds or I should say, Riki has entered a specific heroine's "dream world". Once you solved their problems, you can't access them again because their world is already done. Unlike Komari, whether you finished already hers or not, you can still access her path because it's connected either to the Common Route or Rin1/Rin2 or both. The "Higurashi style" plot of LB is perfect so I don't get it why it should be continuous format in the anime which that will lose the great impact of the plot. So, I'm still going to stick on my theory. There are things that I'm pondering about: - Will Kengo join already to the baseball team? - Are they going to include Rin1? Though I may also thought that the can exclude this. After the day of baseball match or something, Kyousuke can trigger his narcolepsy in a sign of reset. |

| can't wait for Rin2 :B A bit off-topic, but can't wait to see more LB figures, especially Kurugaya's... |
| Though it's really hard for me since I really gave much thought about this. :X I went from that research first(Analyzing the reasoning about the conjoined Common Route and Komari's arc in the anime and the inaccessible 4 paths when they are done on the first playthrough on the VN) before doing a theory on how they will handle the series. |
|
| just wondering, did we see all the of komari's expressions shown on the website? http://www.litbus-anime.com/character/index.html in support of seeing sasami's expressions hinting at sasami arc. also: maybe the routes will go in order of the character profiles on that site? i could totally see that working. komari > Haruka > Kud> Kurugaya > Mio This could actually.. work very well imo. |

| Yeah I already know that they planned to adapt Sasami's before this anime airs though I don't think her part is included on this 2-cour series. And about the expressions of Komari, I think there are only 2 unnecessary facial expressions that weren't shown in the anime... yet(?). About the arc order, I don't think they will do that way. I think the arc order is how the heroines appeared in the opening. Komari -> Rin(Rin1) -> Haruka -> Mio -> Kurugaya -> Kud. I seriously really think they will do that way and it's kinda disappointing for me that Kurugaya isn't the last. Though honestly I think Kud's arc is really fitting to be the next than Mio's after Kurugaya's end. |

| if i remember correctly rin 1 consists of riki and rin dating, things go well then riki blacks out. then you go through the other routes wouldnt this be a blatant reset? in the vn its more subtle because of the format but are you suggesting that they should straight out show that everything reset? |
| TL & founder of Refrain Subs. Website: Check us out for weekly releases! |
| Yes. More or less likely. Because either way, there is a possibility that romance is involved every remaining arc. |
