| its cuz the data base is being updated at the moment. 3000 people arent being counted right now. wait till at least tomorrow for the ratings to change. |
| TL & founder of Refrain Subs. Website: Check us out for weekly releases! |
I loved the anime, had highs and lows parts but overall loved it :'D Can't wait for Refrain T--------------------------T |
| couldn't wait anymore so watched it raw; will watch subs later when UTW releases them tonight. Certainly not a bad adaption; surely it's not perfect (neither is Clannad) but I still enjoyed it intensely; it was like every episode only lasted a few minutes. Some episodes where heartwarming while others where quite sad. Funny thing is, that a long time ago (before I even knew what anime was), one day I saw a link and picture to something called "Little Busters" and I thought it was childish; but now I learned it is the most awesome thing in this world. Unfortunately now I have to wait at least half a year for Refrain; but I'm already extremely hyped; certainly going to miss this anime for the coming time. Thank you JC Staff for the adaption of the first season; now make the second season even better please! For me, this anime certainly lived up to the (very high) expectations. |
| Holy Fucking Hype |
| For anyone interested, here's a rough translation of the teaser at the end of the episode: |
| Wafuu~ |

Well, it also says that they didn't get any runs on the last outing, which we know is wrong anyway, because we had Kurugaya, Kud and Riki make a run at the end, so I feel it's pretty obvious that JC just messed that up (although I can hardly read the boards anyway). |
| Well, guess it's time to play the VN now and get prepped for Refrain in the future. |

| i enjoyed the series... 9/10 for this season. after i heard about refrain i can die in peace. haha, finally its settled, yeah time for hiatus for a while. XD |
     |
| J.C. Staff did a god job adapting this series despite the flaws seen these past few weeks. 9/10 for the series. And by the way, I don't think KyoAni can do a better adaptation of LB! than J.C. |
| 10/10 10/10 10/10 10/10 Fuck all you haters <3 Cya next season. |
| A fantastic season finale to a great show that is Little Busters! It all started with the intrumental version of Faraway, and I loved to see Kengo as one of the baseball team and all happy and smiling. How I missed that! There wasn't much going on this episode and it was all good. Girls saying their reason and thanks to Riki for their struggle and the way he has helped them together and moved on. Kyousuke with more foreshadowing of what we are to expect the coming season, which I am really hyped about! And the best part of this episode, they went with Little Busters winning the match! I'll honestly say that it took me a few dozen tries to win it due to RNG playing with me, but this was just great to watch, especially with the opening song being played during the match. JC Staff did a good job adapting, though they struggled a bit, but it got better as the show progressed, and to adapt something like this into an anime is not a easy task at all. I am pleased with the show so far, and I hope Refrain is going to be really well adapted and done really well, just as how good Refrain was in the VN. There were some rushed moments here and there during the season, but they did a good job nonetheless. I was not fan of those spandex ass shots that would just crawl up to you, hopefully there won't be much about that in Refrain. My score for the first season is 8/10. JC Staff: It gets better. Judging from the preview, we got some really intense stuff coming towards us on the next season, and what in my opinion is the core of Little Busters, Refrain. If done properly, this could be god tier. Also Kengo's outrage on Kyousuke, God I am looking forward to that. Refrain~  |

| I'm not trying to go against the crowd or be a J.C. hater, but I found this adaption/build up to be mainly mediocre, so I'm giving it a 5/10. I wasn't too fond of how the arcs were executed, particularly Kud's and her deus ex machina (which I know will be explained later, but still) not to mention time to get attached and really know all the characters wasn't spent well. Again, I do realize this was a buildup and from what I've heard it's undoubtable that Refrain will reach a higher score than this did, but even as a buildup it felt very weak to me. Nothing really stood out. Standard visuals, overused music, bland comedy. The characters definitely weren't bad. Not even Komari whom people seem to hate. I liked them, but never got attached to them. Here's to hoping for great things from Refrain! |
 |
| yawn. the whole anime was soo dull and there was waaay too much melodrama and moe for my taste and i dont even know how i managed to finish it. i wont even touch the sequel. Little Busters! bored me to DEATH! BUT it had parts which i really liked so i dont really want to slap a 5/10 rating on it so i have to go with 6/10. just wanna say those kids have some REAL problems. |
| >implying Clannad isn't moe melodrama |
| A simple episode but pack with the emotions of friendship. Haven't play the VN but now I want to go play it before Refrain airs! I honestly enjoy this anime for its concept of the power of friendship. J.C. Staff you might have receive a strange split among the fanbase. You did a good job adapting a novel that is known to take 50+ hours to complete (including the arcs that will be in Refrain). 8/10 from me ^^ |

| I really wanted to write about a lot of things when it came to this adaptation (sometimes I did xD) but I did not feel the need to do so (in most cases). Alas it is the end of the 1st season and I would like to comment in a way fitting this show. Unfortunately Kengo stole my catch phrase I wanted to use to describe the show, namely: Little Busters Saikou! |

B-But Fu-chan is precious angel. ;_; Also, I wonder if this is gonna turn into a Clannad vs Little Busters war. Admit it -- they're both moe melodrama (their first season counterparts at least) but with different characters and situations. |

| This was the worst sports anime ever. They only played baseball for like five minutes. And it took them 25 eps to get there! 2/10 |

leetshoe said: This was the worst sports anime ever. They only played baseball for like five minutes. And it took them 25 eps to get there! 2/10 one match and a few practices approx 3mins shown each time and somehow your labeling this a sports anime? |
| How many times does Riki need to reiterate for the audience how Kyousuke helped him when he was a kid, and that he has Narcolepsy? It feels like he goes over it every other episode. Overall the episode wasn't bad. I am kind of disappointed that they just glossed over the baseball game though - the season needed a climax! What better way to end it than show the baseball game they've been working for for 25 episodes?! As it stands now, it just kind of ends with a whimper. Having watched all 26 episodes, my overall score of this show is a 6/10. Not awful, but not really good. The first ten episodes of the season were almost torturous in how boring they were, and by the time the show FINALLY started to pick up, it was already halfway over. Some of the girl's routes were also butchered and rushed to such an extent that it was hard to enjoy them. Haruka and Komari I feel were especially affected by this, with Mio and Kud's routes not being that bad overall in my opinion. It's pretty clear that this season was just build up, especially with the last half dozen episodes or so pretty much hammering it into the viewer's head that SOMETHING is up (coincidentally, these were the best episodes of the show). Overall, this is a pretty forgettable season, and I definitely won't be re-watching this any time soon. |
| This episode gave me nothing but the feels Man!~, i did think JC was doing a shit job in the start but they somehow pulled it off a decent adaptation with a lot of love and hate it episodes. But that teaser at the end How long must i wait?! |
