No Kengo at the graveyard (or maybe that image posted was Kengo?), but I doubt that's important. Can someone tell me why Kengo was there though? Because I must have missed why. I know he was there at the graveyard in the visual novel too, but I don't think they've ever explained why he was there (or is my memory failing me?).

*wipes tears* KOMARI-CHAN! that's right, there are many wonderful things you can still discover with great friends in this world, so don't cry cuz youre making me sad like hell.
RIN.Why you are so cute.Just why.I think she is, and will be my fav character from this show till end...of course if i wont love blue-haired girl with umbrella(who dont seem to her appearance in next episode as well) even more.
Really, this episode is just fantastic.It shows in 100% what kind of friendship LB! members have with each other.

5/5 and i would really love if people here stop writing ONLY spoilers, and would write something about episode as well.Make some topic or idk, and talk there please.

I'm surprised I teared a little bit this episode at the ending happy scene. The VN still had more impact on me, but they did it pretty well; even though, it got rushed a bit.

I got hit with few feels, but I think there a bit of forced drama. You guys actually make me want to play Little Busters now, since you guys are complaining about the shit left out. Would I cry if I played the VN rather than watch the anime?

Kind of, depends, not really, Komari is probably rated the worst route in LB, but it's still better than 90% of the stuff out there.

If you're new to this try reading Planetarian instead, it's only about 3-4 hours long and condenses nicely everything KEY is about.

DAMMIT,Blasphemy, Why no this scene, I am so mad right now, WTF JC, that was the best part about Komari's route and you ruin it.
Why do you blame J.C.Staff if script was written by person hired by Key and working in cooperation with them?? If creators felt it's irrelevant their choice (even more with Old Man's story, it's rather irrelevant).
Don't join the hate-circle :3

Especially that one with Kurugaya - I love her character and sense of humor... but would hate to see this.
After building up the mood puting this, would feel terribly out of place.
Instead we got nice scene with Rin and Kurugaya showing how they care about Komari, and it was good. Heck Rin had very nice role in this episode :) way to go.

And Riki... your drawings suck ;) but all for the best.

also graveyard scene


@JavierR - I had more feels here than during VN. And forced drama is kind of Key's trademark ;)
go with both, I think.

Ok I will check out Planetarian. I played Kanon, but got hit with no feels, probably because I watched the anime already. That's why I want to know which one would be better playing the VN or watching the anime.

Nice :)

I loved scene with Rin gathering stuff and Kurugaya helping (I don't remember it from VN).
There there is a lot of talking about how Busters were helping Riki, but seeing here was so awwwww... especially with Rin.
Sure it felt weird if one remembers that in past episodes she had problems even with talking to Komari, but than it also shows how determined she is to help her friend.

Wow, this episode was rushed like hell. I really enjoyed Komari's story in the visual novel, but I didn't enjoy it as much this time around. Should have spread it out more evenly across the show. No Kengo at the graveyard (or maybe that image posted was Kengo?), but I doubt that's important. Can someone tell me why Kengo was there though? Because I must have missed why. I know he was there at the graveyard in the visual novel too, but I don't think they've ever explained why he was there (or is my memory failing me?).

One thing I found interesting was


Anyways, Haruchin will join next episode. She's a pretty fun and interesting person to watch :)


+1. The episode got some feels, but it was way better in the VN. As I told in another thread, the main problem of Little Busters anime isn't the script adaptation; is the direction instead.

Kengo was in the graveyard, he is in that shot @Kou posted in the first page.

About the spoiler,

At this point, I think yes.
I'm one of the few fans that really likes Komari route, so I'm a bit disappointed with the anime adaptation being less emotional (there were some bits that I really liked, but I was expecting more). At this rate, I'm sure the VN has a way stronger emotional punch.

Another reason why i was glad i read the VN while watching this this episode was really well done even if they left out a few things glad they at least showed how considerate everyone was in helping Riki

is it haruka next week?! i hope it is but it's weird that mio hasn't even showed up yet



on a side note Who the hell is that girl with the redish hair Rin was talking to? i feel like it was mentioned before i hope i'm not missing anything lol shes even in the op.

This week. As I thought, you're hit with emotions.

Komari's flashback is rather sad indeed but I rather like that the entire team is busting their behind to make her feel better.

Especially Riki...

Amazingly I didnt well up or tear at all until the happy part during the ending...

Damn emotions.

But whats a few tears to see that smile again???

Thanks!

Little Busters! is probably the most I look forward to this season other than SAO.
I really like the animation style and although I havent finished the game yet, I love the story.
So ya, the anime is spoiling the game for me but I dont mind.

I cried a little while watching the episode. The pain that Komari-chan felt was what I experienced before too. Everyone would have to experience it one day. It's a painful experience, but with good friends and family, you can smile and look forward to a brighter future. This episode was sentimental and great. Komari made my heart hurt so badly because of the way she behaved. Riki had to suffer a lot too because he wasn't Riki anymore. He was Takuya, Komari's brother. In the end, Komari faces and grasps reality and finally moves on. She decides to look onto a brighter future with smiling faces and together with all her friends, make many memories. Really great episode this week. Now, we have to get through Haruka and Kanata's route. This anime is really great. :)

Rewatch this episode later in the series (maybe after two or three other story-arcs), you'll find a deeper meaning.

The rooftop rain scene and rooftop hug scene finale. Those are the one that really hit the feels and shed a bunch of manly tears.
