| I forgot to mention that the OP is fucking amazing. |
 |
| It's not that bad -___- the animation is cute and I don't really mind about the OST and music Let's see how it's progress |
       |
| Shit I completely forgot about this |
 |
| Looks like any nicer anime that's come out any other season in terms of animation and art standards. It's not the most beautiful looking thing in the world but (1) it looks like the source material and (2) it looks MUCH better than a lot of stuff you see coming out every season even with all its flaws. As for recycling voices and music, this isn't "recycling" it's keeping it authentic to the source - the SAME EXACT THING KYOANI HAS DONE FOR EVERY SINGLE ADAPTATION OF A VISUAL NOVEL THEY HAVE EVER MADE. And why has KyoAni, and hell even Toei if I recall, always used the same voices and music as the source? Because, it's what the already solid fanbase wants. But oh, when KyoAni does that it's fantastic, but when JC Staff does it's lazy and cheap? You guys are retarded. If they changed the majority of these voices or music the VN fans would have gone insane about it even more than they did over JC staff animating it. Hell, half the conversations prior to airing were about how "they better keep the original OST" "they better not change the voices" and so on. |

As for who it is, I don't even know, I just saw the text, I don't really care who says what - if they say something retarded they are being retarded. Good on you for providing a great counter point though, claiming you're the biggest fan of something and complaining I used a word you don't like. Great addition to the discussion. Oh man, Little Busters is going to have the worst fanbase of the season it seems. No surprise, it's sad though given what a great VN it is. Already can't stand it and already having to hide the thread. I guess this is what KyoAni did to Key adaptations. |

The vast majority of this thread is people who enjoy it so far, stop cherry picking the comments you dislike so you can claim that the community will be bad. Only like 4-5~ people so far have commented about reusing the soundtrack and voice cast being a bad thing. |

I agree as well, some of the comments in this thread have been a sheer disappointment. I was half expecting things to turn out this way though. I think the greatest flaw in many of these arguments is that they are making too much of a comparison to how KyoAni would have animated this and are frustrated with seeing J.C.'s style in this anime. I honestly think J.C. is doing really well animation wise, it may not come close to how great KyoAni would've made it in terms of art, but you also gotta really think about their budget vs. J.C.'s budget. I am glad that there are still VN fans out there that are enjoying this adaption at least, this anime is pretty meeting my expectations very well. Should be really awesome once it finishes the common route. |

It doesn't have to be true as it is not measurable so we can't know. I did not complain at all, it is simply not polite going around and calling people retarded because that way you are only proving that you are retarded. People are entitled to their own opinion, and if you want to discuss then do it politely. And one question, what makes you good fan of something? How are you any better? |

Even if everything bad that was listed here was true it would still be decent. |

| Words can't describe how happy I am right now, great first episode as far as I'm concerned, fairly faithful to the opening stages of the VN and if every route is as faithful as this we've got a great adaptation on our hands. Of course people are still going to bitch and moan though because 1. It's not KyoAni, and 2. It's J.C. Staff. |
 |
| I started on the VN but stopped after the fight in the cafeteria so barely started on it. Based what I saw in this first episode is looking real nice. The anime seems to capture the characters pretty well for the most part. |
 |
| I read the VN. So... WHAT THE HELL THEY DID TO PERFECT LITTLE BUSTERS? Y, g-d, Y... 1. Character design. Something is really wrong with this round-like faces... and why they've copied the K-ON style of art? All characters are looking like they want some cakes. Seriously. I want throw cakes in every of these faces. 2. Animation - so cheap. Did they really want show us this muscles of Masato so badly? And this battle... 3. Graphic details. What have J.C.Staff forgotten to draw in the beginning of the Sasami's scene? Why Rin's hands are square? ... 4. Minor details. Why Riki isn't a batter? And why Rin made only one throw? 5. Music, sounds, VA. It was an awesome OST in game, but it's not fitting in some moments of the anime. Sounds... something wrong with them... especially in Sasami's battle. VA. Horie Yui-Riki not bad, not good. Sasami too. 6. OP/ED... OP is not bad, but I think, that there must be names and their quotes just like in VN OP. ED is TERRIBLE. It must be more youthful and energetic, but they did typical walking of main characters... 7. Plot. Nothing to say here. Hope, we won't receive some original and brilliant ideas, that will improve the story plot. In the end I want to say this: fuck you, J.C.Staff; hope you will die in nearest future. |

akutasame94 said: Anyway, Komari's smile at the end. I already said before I could not pick my favorite, although Mio and Kud are just a little above the others. Komari and Haruka follow along with Rin. Especially Komari because I finished her route first, and although her story was most unrealistic I somehow cried the most on that route :P And then Kurugaya, when I heard that piano :P Also what I noticed in LB, it is going to turn me into keyfag again. Why you ask? Well it is completely the same as other Key shows. Everything starts happy, funny, it simply makes you feel like it is going to be one of those happy/happy anime. And then it turns for worse. I love Key :P I am happy to finally put this on my anime list, to join the other Key works :D Me too. I'm so happy for the tv series, now I can relax and enjoy it. Little Busters doesn't have animations at Clannad/Angel Beats level, but it's very faithful for now. And it's one hell of a first episode, the aphorisms part was epic. I like Sasasegawa Sasami new voice. Yui Horie for Riki is a good choice. Alicemagic works well as a ending theme and they take all musics from the game. I'm still expecting some remix but tracks are already awesome as they are. 10/10 from someone who already knows the story! |

Seriously. I want throw cakes in every of these faces. Please note that not every anime that looks cute and 'moe' is derivative of K-ON. If you actually looked at a screenshot of the K-ON anime and then looked at the first LB episode, you would notice that they are distinctly different and have next to nothing in common. The new art style will take some getting used to, yes, but it was to be expected. |

| I don't hate JC, they made some good animes, such as Toradora, AnoNatsu and Bakuman. But this... they just should have used an VN character design. |

Stap-dono said: I don't hate JC, they made some good animes, such as Toradora, AnoNatsu and Bakuman. But this... I'm not going to be all defensive about this, but I will only say one thing : "Keep your expectations low, dude." Even KyoAni can't animate LB to be as detailed as your wish (or complain?). Some of them are even personal opinions of direction that YOU want. And I got a feeling that this thread is going to be more unhealthy once the subs are in the air... |
| The first episode was pretty good! Here are some of my thoughts: 1. Animation is not too great, but certainly not bad either. There isn't too much motion most of the time, but it's not really noticeable unless you pay attention to it. 2. Art is looking VERY pretty indeed. This in particular is a big step up from the VN. 3. Character voice acting is excellent. Riki and Sasami sound a little different, but that's to be expected, and I guess I'll get used to it quickly. 4. OP and ED were both very solid. The remixes of Little Busters! and Alicemagic both sound better than the originals IMO. Maybe they should've put a few more breakdown scenes in the OP, like the VN. 5. We get to see Masato working out!!! HELL YES! 6. Rin's fight with Sasami wasn't shown...why??? D: All in all, it certainly does look like I can trust JB Staff so far on this one. As long as they don't pull some crazy stupid stuff, it looks like they'll do a great job. Oh, and also: |
SleepingEntityOct 6, 2012 1:55 PM
| I don't like how they mix the events and crop the dialogues and crop the events (Rin pitched only 1 time, not 3 :|) and how fast is the pacing, but ALL OF MY LOVE 10/10. EVERYTHING ELSE IS PURE GOLD. |
| So far I think this is looking good, and personally I actually like the art, yes it could be better, but I think it suits LB well enough. And yea the pacing seems to a bit faster then what I was expecting, can't wait for next weeks episode though! (and also the subs for this weeks) |
 |
| lots of still frames, bad character design and messy animation. Jup compared to clannad or anything else animated by KyoAni, this show looks rather bad. I expected more of it from the visuals... I mean it's a 2012 show right? |

I expected more of it visually for an anime which is made today. Okay, now lets try comparing other producers to KyoAni... I do agree that J.C. doesn't match up to their animation quality, but this is still very nice if you consider the regular standard. |

I can bring up Production IG, Madhouse, Shaft,A1, brains base....Really, there aren't a lot of studios these days that are worse than JC staff when it comes to animation. |

If there is one blind fanboy around... I've stated on a number of occasions that my love for Little Busters! comes directly from my love of the VN, and you know what? The first episode of the anime was faithful to the VN, if it keeps that up there is no doubt I will love the anime adaptation as well. |
|
| Too much hate for nothing i'am waiting for FMP season 3 from KyoAni but they are doing only slice of life animes,but FMP The Second Raid was badass. |
 |
| Hey, guys, do you remember how Riki met Komari? |
SonMati said: Hey, guys, do you remember how Riki met Komari? Well, maybe because they're at the fast pace? What I only remember was Haruka is the first one who met Riki before Komari. |
 |
| Not a bad episode 1. I enjoyed every minute of it. Art was a little bad, but it's certainly not the worst. I'm definitely looking forward to more of this. So far, it's doing good justice to the visual novel (at least imo) |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| Must said i being waiting for the anime for quite some time and must said beyond that the animation is bad all the rest is pretty good. The story its being follow exactly as the VN so far really enjoy Rin No-Con a lot,the OST is the same as the VN and it fits perfectly even that i dont like that much the OP version of "Little Busters" i prefere the original,and the VA besides Sasasasagewa Sasami different voice(will need to get custom to it) and still need to hear Mio voice all the rest is the same so its pretty nice. So.....so far JC the first episode did a good job,and hope they keep it up beyond that they suck animation wise. Well next episode its Komari-chan Time!! |
| The pacing was so bad. Animation was what i expected. That said, as soon as I hear that OST i can't help but smile due to memories of the VN. Hopefully things look up. |
 |
| I can die with smile on my face now! |
Sa-chan_ said: Of course that's the reason :P Still too bad, I loved it.Well, maybe because they're at the fast pace? What I only remember was Haruka is the first one who met Riki before Komari. And yes, she was. Maybe every girl will get "her" episode? It could be even nicely paced. |
SonMati said: Hey, guys, do you remember how Riki met Komari? They don't have time to show every single scene. |
 |
| Lol, 9.23/10... You gotta be kidding me. I thought the first episode was 7.5/10 at best. J.C. Staff is not disappointing yet, but I'm just not that interested in it so far. Waiting for the real story to decide whether they did a good job or not. |

k-Tek said: I love it. They kept the witticisms scene too! Pure win. Dear god yes, I was so happy they kept the witticisms scene. |

JavierR said: Am I the only one who didn't notice the animation? I don't understand how is it bad I never pay attention to animation in anything I watch, so no, you're not alone. |

JavierR said: Am I the only one who didn't notice the animation? I don't understand how is it bad You're not the only one. I was only focused on how do they adapt some scenes in the VN. |

EternalBliss said: It's not a justification, but I hope it'll be shown because it still can :3They don't have time to show every single scene. |
| hmm i really liked this episode. definetly gonna keep watching. whats with the laugh of the purple haired chick lol "OOOOH HAHAHAHAHA OOOOOOOOOH HAHAHAH" lmao |
