| Looks like they are cutting out the romance from Mio's route which is going to hurt it. Mio is one of my favourite girls along with her route as well and the romance in this one is quite important and it does make the route better, removing the romance from it will only hurt it. There are other routes taking out the romance will definitely hurt, with Kurugaya's one probably being the biggest and also Kud's and also Rin's (though they mostly likely do Rin's romance). Haruka and Komari are fine without the romance but Kud, Rin, Mio and Kurugaya all need the romance in their routes and only weaken/hurt the routes without it. |

| The thing i disliked most about this episode was that Nishizono didn't react to the guy that hit her/walked against her which is also the thing that i dislike most about her. She might be reserved but that doesn't mean that she doesn't have to say anything when someone does something to harm her, don't let people walk over you like that. Stand up for yourself!! |
| something bother me about preview cant wait for next episode... XD |
     |
| Decent episode.Hoping they don't butcher/rush this route. |
 |
| Just started the episode. I already cannot believe how bad they fucked up the song "I Wonder If I Would Have Realized In Time." It's a sad, slow song and they play it while everyone is happy and laughing. So after a few seconds and Riki sees Mio it starts to fit, but then they chop up the song and end it right before the opening theme plays. Jesus Christ... Fuck them. Yes, it's small but I mean.. We all agree that "it's the little things that count" when something good happens so we can also use it for when something bad happens. I'm sure there will be good in this episode just... how bad they screwed up playing a simple song here really bothers me. EDIT: Finished the episode. That was pretty good. For once they had decent pacing. I felt like the episode was 40 minutes long or so when it was the standard length, meaning they put a lot of content into the normal amount of time. It was done well. Only thing that gets me is the ending. Holy shit, it looked like she was about to kill Riki. Jesus Christ that freaked me out... For people who played the VN, |

| I'm not a huge fan of this episode, but I am curious about the whole Mio situation! I wonder what's going on with her... |

| This ep was surprisingly good, it even made me laugh a few times. It was of the episode 5 level. But... I have a feeling the next 2 eps will be a rape festival. They are really not willing to have a romance route, Kurugaya and Kud will suffer the most next. |
skapandi said: Decent episode. |
| Can't do the romance route for her, but hopefully it's still well done without it. Mio is one of my favorite routes I'd say its 8.5/10 for me during the VN. Also the episode seemed off with, Kyousuke knows Mio isn't Mio OR this could just be for the preview narrating and nothing more being actually inputted for next episode. |

Well, about the preview, I think that means Kyousuke will help Riki. In the ep 11 preview, it was just Riki narrating... so ep 12, Riki didn't have help from the others. (except the tanka contest, but that part was that way in the visual novel) So, imo, Kyousuke and Rin will help the next two episodes, and I think this will happen every route. Just like Komari's, but in her's they helped in the first and third eps. (eps 4 and 6) With Mio they'll help in the second and third. (eps 13 and 14) That's my theory. |
| didn't riki tell kyousuke the situation in the VN? that's one thing i loved about kyousuke, he believed riki even though it sounded completely absurd. |

| Well nice episode though i never play the VN so i don't know about Mio but she is cute like Kanade from angel beats>w< can't wait to see Mio route |

| ahh... finally something serious is gonna happen again :) |
| Had some laughs :D Mystery? Now I'm curious~ |
| So far, I'm liking the start of Mio's route much more than I did the start of Komari's. Hopefully the rest of it stays that way. |
 What "Adolescence" do you have? Do you remember "Childhood"? The irreplaceable one existed there. |
| i just hope this arc not too rush... at least i need 2 next episode for mio arc or i will be dissapointed |
|
 |
| Nice..I hope it will have two seasons..the 2nd season covers refrain.. |
 |
| lolololol i love the masato phone scene, and the tonka writing scene nice start to the mio arc |

JavierR said: Mio is so moe. Masato is hilarious love him. Mio gave off some creepy vibes at the end i wonder whats her deal :3..Mio |

| Decent episode. I'm glad to see more of Mio. It was nice to see her interact more with others. Never thought it'll be easy to recruit Mio thought. Mio's BL fantasy and the cellphone scene were funny. Also, she has the cutest laugh I've seen about where Riki wants to go to Hawaii. When I read a post that Riki and Mio had a date in the vn, I was a bit disappointed it wasn't included. Like to see some romance between the both of them as well. Anyway, Mio's cute laugh or giggle made my day. |

| Interesting. It's like she has two personalities or something. Really weird... |
 |
| Great episode, it went by so far. This arc looks like it'll be decent. |
| Mio is the cutest girl because she wears glasses.. |
| I really loved how in contrast with the others, Anego took Mio's lecture pretty well, she only signaled her displeasure with her eyebrow. Sasuga Anego. Mio's route was my favorite in terms of concept, so I'm looking forward to it. But next episode beach already? I hope they don't rush it. "I believe that stories are written and read to rebel against the fact that you only live once." Giving a 5/5 for this episode, good stuff. |
| i loled so hard at the poem scene xP and im looking forward to this arc |
ShinoAsada said: This episode was great. Funny how the smart Mio can't use a cellphone even though she read the manual. Imagine her using a computer lol. The other Mio is probably her shadow. She's called shadowless so maybe the smiling Mio is her shadow. I liked Mio's laugh during the middle of the episode. It was soft and cute. The next episode is the sea and the shadow replacing the real one... I need to play the VN really soon. I liked that part as well |
Elite60 said: IKR i was fucking scared i minimize my screen till 1/8 of it.Can't wait to see the next episode. Mio did look a bit scary with that smile towards Riki at the end. |
| I don't know, I missed that riverbank and setting sun.. the reason why she catched cold was because they were with each other in the first place. It just felt going around too fast. They are kinda switching sequence of events also. I hope next time they will go to the bookstore at least. I think that Mio arc is done better in VN. |
| This episode was great, I love serious stuff like this. Hopefully this arc will take a while but knowing J.C. Staff it'll probably end in the next episode. I'm looking forward to it. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| She has a very cute laugh ;x |

| I decided to drop this anime half-way through episode 12. This anime is crap. It is the first and only KEY-related anime that I didn't enjoy at all. It was utter repetitive crap. I'll likely find enough boredom to sacrifice my time to watch this dry, plot-less anime but I don't see it happening anytime soon. |

Hell, I'd say Little BUsters has more of a plot than Clannad does. And repetitive? As much as I respect your opinion, but Clannad is even more repetitive. And one last thing. You're dropping this anime at the exact point where everything begins to go up. Everything improves by this point onwards. |
| >Watching a quarter of a Key slice of life and calling it plotless... I can't exactly say that Kanon, Air or Clannad had much more or less of a concrete plot 1/4th through. You should trust in Jun Maeda's best work. The second cour was significantly better than the first, yeah, and if you enjoyed Key's other works, I don't think you wouldn't enjoy the second half of the first season. |

If you watched until episode 12, I will assume you at least watched Komari´s arc. Now, if you call Komari´s arc plotless, then all your logic goes down the drain, along with your argument. Besides, you watched half of the anime, so you don´t really have the right to criticize it. And repetitive? Do you have any idea of what you just said? If it´s about that, Clannad got WAY more repetitive, at least the characters of little busters aren´t all around Riki like a harem, unlike clannad. |
| This arc might surpass Komari's arc... Not bad at all |

| Strange thing, does she has a sister or something? Really interesting episode has some dark and mysterious atmosphere around it! Lets see what's next! |
 |
| I think I actually started to like Mio a little. About what's up with her. I'm guessing some kind of a personality disorder or schizophrenia. Well, let's see. |
