Aww, we see more flashback between Kanata and her sister in this episode. I guess it was a way to flesh out more of her character. The fight in the latter half was awesome :3. I like how the LB team got involved in this.

Because they bring the entire arc to after Refrain,the twin's farewell scene was omitted,a pity since it was the most touching moment in Kanata's route.
There was no romance so I guess there are no place for them to tell Kanata's little traumatic story on why she was so touchy with people seeing her scars and of course no romance mean no impending threesome running away together to distant city together either.

They should just have adapted ZEN's manga version instead.

Can't believe it really is all over. As a player of the visual novel and watcher of the anime, i seriously cannot believe it's over. Well I believe it but I am just saddened that this is all over. Little busters!!! FOREVER!!!! Back to visual novels.

Currently playing Grisaia no Kaijitsu, which will become an anime within 2 months. Ohoho this should be interesting

OMFG forcing Kanata to marry and give up her future. But she did it save Haruka T____T

Little Busters swooping in to save her YES!!!. Their outfits were hilarious. Kyousuke's mustache and Kud's too. Can't forget her hat OMG XD.

YAY YAY YAY Muscle dance in the end.

Saya, Sasagawa and Futaki together with the Little Busters T___T.

Hope to see Rewrite in the future.

Everything in her route take place before refrain in the VN,only the the wedding busters part take place after refrain.
The anime bring her entire route to after refrain.Well,it was more convenient that way.

I love Riki's rescue plan for Kanata, awesome to hear the song playing the background as it happened too.
I swear, every time I see the Futaki and Saigusa family ordeal thing, it just seems worse and worse. I am so glad that they're out of there!

I really enjoyed this series, for not reading the LB Ecstasy, it was heartwarming to say the least. Though the one thing I might have preferred was if they ended with a 4 episode arc and started with 2 2 episode arcs.

The rescue plan to save Kanata's future.
The first half was really emotional though with how the Futaki family was treating them and Kanata deciding to protect Haruka!(πーπ)
Those disguises!!! From old people to butlers and chief to even marriage clothes. The moustache Kyousuke brought! >.<
The two going to live together at their parent's home. Those muscle dance and those laughs through the song! Really going to miss this show but I can't help but smile with that ending!
Officially deciding to put Rin in my fav list! That short scene!

So child abuse, child neglect, kidnap the crimes of the Futaki family keep pilling up just makes me wonder how the authorities never noticed.
In any case the arc itself could have been better, not a fan of the forced marriage idea.
And a good thing they managed to prevent it, Kanata being stuck with that old bastard would have been horrible.

I gotta say, I've really grown to like Sasami, Kanata and of course Saya in all of these EX episodes.

As for the episode itself, I enjoyed it. I liked how everyone helped save Kanata from that A-hole family of her's and Haruka's. How are those people not in jail for the abuse they gave to both sisters, seriously. No one messes with the Little Busters!

As for the ending, I love how there altogether, including Saya, Sasami and Kanata. Although I am kind of disappointed that they didn't use this scene at the end.

It looks like it was from the Anime too and would've been great to see but it's only nitpick.

I'm going to miss this series, it was a great 2 years of Little Busters!. I loved the story, the humor, the music and most importantly these characters. I'm going to miss them a lot, a whole lot, but just like with every good story ever, it all has come to end. So with that said....

MISSION COMPLETE!!! Farewell, Little Busters!

Next up, Rewrite. Hopefully.

Wow... Little Busters is over. T.T
The Little Busters taking on the mission as wedding crashers is something I would expect them to do! While not as detailed as Ecstasy but it got the point though all and all a good ending to one of the better Key animes (besides Clannad of course).


I'm going to miss this show but Key has told me to not hold back my tears and I'm just going to wait here until Rewrite gets announced!

them doing a Kud Wafter adaptation is kind of a longshot. Ideally theyd do a Bokura no Asa OVA (drama cd). But even that is a low possibilty. Their twitter page has a big MISSION COMPLETE sign on it. I just want a Rewrite adaptation already

Hmm, I still have the feeling that first part of this ep (or Kanata's route in general) didn't work as intended. Everything was resolved in Saigusa's route before and this was just small shift of POV about the things we already knew.

But the last 1/3 of this ep was totally worth it, seeing everyone in their different outfits was great.
Still, I can't shake the feeling that this was the weakest route. And taking romance away from this hurt this part the same as in case or Haruka's route adaptation as it was core part of this scenario.

Anyway, with LB officially over now, let's put our hopes high for Rewrite being finally animated.
But I really hope that JCS stays out of it if that's the case.
White Fox did one great job with Steins;Gate but after that they did pretty badly.
So I would like another studio to do it.

I still think KyoAni can do great if they have good source material but their latest works wasn't the case as they failed to deliver anything but fanservice (and with Amagi this autumn, I can't see it a lot different)
The thing is, they need to do that as they are self-produced right now and they need those sales to survive. But that doesn't change the fact that quality of their animes anime deteriorated pretty fast lately.

I dunno, maybe they could do the Rewrite awesome. But I doubt it would sell anywhere near as those mainstream things they are doing now (that's also the reason why they didn't make LB. that and their relations with Key are pretty bad)

Really hope we get a Kud Wafter adaptation.

About ep8 itself, I wish they showed justice served to Kanata's so called family, but I guess I can assume (or so I hope) that they'd rot in jail since it wasn't implied otherwise.

Anyway, 10/10 and really hope we get Kud Wafter one day!

The subs this episode were kinda weird.

Futaki...

Dat mustache, I laughed

Man I need friends like that...

Seriously I cringe whenever Kengo acts silly... I always felt it kinda forced. It just doesn't suit him. His actual personality is really cool tho, it kinda destroys it.

Such a great ED. I spotted Sasami and Saya in the ED pic, awesome!!!

I absolutely loved this.
