| onto the last episode |
| Wish there was more Kengo. He's my favorite male character. D; |
| The beginning with that piano piece was such a nice scene :) btw does someone know what the song is called for the piano part? |
| They did that rooftop scene pretty well considerin it from refrain's point of view(yup,i read spoilers,hahaha).. |
 |
| Maximum Respect to Kengo.. It takes guts to just dive off the rooftop like that to save a person.. |
| Its 420 out there somewhere. |
| Great Episode about last member of Little Busters!!! Good to see Kengo's determination throughout this episode and the falling off roof scene with Miyuki Koshiki was decent. Looking forward to final episode!! 5/5 |
  |
| Kengo has been my favorite character in Little Busters, and I glad to see he got a great adaption to his part to join the team. Miyuki Koshiki was done wonderful and though they made it so her action was due to her illness, I do recall that her lost her right eye due to an archery accident. Though either work in this case I guess. That roar Kengo did as he leaped to catch Miyuki Koshiki got me back. I can't wait to see how it will be animated in the anime, and to be honest it is one of the moment I hope JC Staff won't fuck it up, or I will rage... Either way, decent episode. Ended with some Kengo trying to overcome is struggle alongside with Rin to always give everything she got.  |
 |
| Contrary to some guys here had thought, I think quality wise this EP has won me in terms of smoothness, but its true the scene where Koshiki fell was truly awkward it feels like the animators missed polishing that sequence. I have no complains in the pacing and the use of BGMs here as for an anime, it was done quite well (VN will always be slowpaced regardless so it's pointless to expect the anime version to be at the same pacing or it'll be too boring to watch) I'm a guy, and I'm straight, but I think Kengo looked hotter with his hair falling during the trial match :) Rin's VA (Tomoe Tamiyasu) in the anime did her role way better than she did in the VN. from time to time she annoyed me in the VN(especially when she's shouting "boke") but in this case I found her voice much more appealing and cute |
| Again another example where the director failed to draw out the emotions of a scene with high potential it's just annoying how this happens time and time again. Really this director should have stayed with comedy he just isn't fit for drama, what possessed JC Staff by picking him as director for Little Busters. What i do like about this episode is that it's focused on Kengo's relationship with a girl for ones and not Riki's. |

What i do like about this episode is that it's focused on Kengo's relationship with a girl for ones and not Riki's. I agree. After so many emotional episodes in this show, this one felt like it should have been really emotional but it was not. Too rushed and forced, introducing a new character barely before we see her fall off the roof for Kengo to show us his Shaolin monk like breakfall abilities. I still enjoyed it but feel it could have been executed better. But I am an anime only watcher. Seems the VN folks who knew the character liked it better? Or am I off base here? |
| Honestly, I lol'd when the teachers were yelling "dont worry about archery!!! you can still study and get good grades!!!" Me: Who the hell want's to hear that when they are about to jump? lol |
| Just when it's getting to the main story, the anime almost ends :< It will probably end this season with the baseball game vs the team captains :p |
 "Only one with the courage to shoulder the burden of their own fate can be called a hero.." |

| I knew that I'll love Kengo episode since the begining :D He is real bro. badgerkins said: Anybody want some sexy Kengo? Sexy bro I need to add, no one can't deny it <3 It's a bit shame that Koshiki doesn't have her own route. Her design is great and trying to help her with getting some confidence, would definitely On the other side I can't image it, after all she plays important role for Kengo. So I guess it's after all better without her in the harem. Btw. Did Kengo's training in the game last that long? I thought that they did it nicely in the anime, not like the boss who can do anything in an instant, but genius of the hard work (wait, wrong anime). |

| Looking forward to the last episode! Kengo was pretty cool this episode |
| The opening sequence was really well done and gets my hope up high for the second season. |
| As usual in those high school slice of life animes, adults are fucking useless. I have mixed feelings about this episode. The Kengo scene was good, but unfortunately, the random girl drama was way too rushed, and because of that, it feels like she is only a plot device to let Kengo join the LB team. |
| Wow, I actually felt a warm feeling with the characters. This episode was actually really great, even though koshiki's appearance was quite sudden. Starting to like Kengo a lot. |
Vladz0r said: Expectations were met for this episode. Faithful adaptation was faithful. The foreshadowing was pretty strong this damn strong this episode. They managed to do the scenes well without KyoAni animation, but unless they introduced Miyuki as an earlier character and made up extra things to her story, it wouldn't feel dramatic. It's pretty much only a bit dramatic to the VN readers. It was't dramatic in the VN either, but it's integral to Refrain. They were pretty good at animating the detail with Kengo. Super Refrain spoiler: Mm overall it accomplished what it was supposed to. Mikenzb said: Not half bad, I dont see how they are gonna end this eries with 1 more episode left but something might happen i guess. well not a half bad episode anyways. Season 2, don't worry, things will make sense later. I don't think there will be a season 2. They rushed it all the way to the last episode. No way they are going to spend 12 episodes just on refrain that's pointless... All I can say is they rushed this series. |

I'm not sure if you're joking that there's no more material left to cover. Anyway, there's Kurugaya's route, Rin's 2nd route, and Refrain is longer than all the other routes, and they could always add in parts from the common route they've skipped. |

| 3.5/5 FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK, FINAL CHAPTER NEXT WEEK!!!!!!!! Ok, the emotions was very strong in this episode, finally we have the 9th Little Buster!. But, I´m beggining to suspect Kyousuke. Or He is a wizard, or a clairvoyant, or I don´t know... @Vladzor: So that was that famous girl Miyuki... About Miyuki, I see her like a character who will have something important to do in the History... But well, next week we´ll have to say "Bye, See you later" to our dear friends group. I really want the announcement at the end of 26... |

"Parting of the Boys Piano Only" Irustua said: That song is my favorite among Little Busters!'s songs, it's called The boys farewell (Piano version) Theres two versions but the other one is with a melodic line. Piano version is my favorite though. It has a special mention in Refrain... Thank you two :D The music is so beautiful, i also like the song that plays when you leave the title menu on for a while in the VN, the music is one of the best thing with little busters :D |
| VN spoiler regarding Miyuki, slight Refrain spoiler as well Miyuki's suicide attempt does feel rushed in the anime, and because of the nature of the VN format which reminds you every time you replay the common route, it just can't be done quite the same in the anime. However, I feel like the event that refers back to Miyuki in Refrain will still serve its purpose, so long as |
| next week is the last episode! O.o damn... kengo is pretty sexy with his hair down... |

Atikal said: damn... kengo is pretty sexy with his hair down...  |
| Nice episode, I especially like the effort they put into the animations for this one. |
| i have given it the sweet time it has taken and i have to say, this show has grown on me so much. i can't wait for this "refrain" i've read so much about. |
| Yay! We finally got to see some Kengo action as well as animated Koshiki. The anime-only parts were quite commendable. It's really a shame that the season is ending soon... Cant wait for Refrain... |
