| It's funny (but obvious) that I never saw most of people who were negative in this announcement in the actual LB threads. Yes, it's a mixed bag and has some weak executions in direction and (especially) animation, but I loved how they tried to adapt everything quite faithfully (not cutting routes like Clannad adaptation) and I even liked most of their alterations/I can accept the negative changes that they made (which mostly aren't avoidable). One biggest praise for me to this adaptation is : They made a great build up for Refrain! Damn, I'm hyped! |
| Thank God. I had a dream last night where the announcement was that they wanted to do a second season, but didn't get the approval from Warner so they were going to do a Kickstarter to produce it. Then on MAL everyone was freaking out. Did they announce an air date? Like... Saturday April 13th? =) |

I am more curious about what the producer said about "every girl in your mind will get her story animated" and I wonder how they are going to fit Kurugaya, Saya and Sasasasasa's arcs. More seasons? OVAs? They did say that each heroine would get 3eps for her route and 1 will get 4eps (i'm assuming Rin here). Not sure if the heroines included Saya... but they said they'll animate Sasami's route too. Kud got 4 episodes, just with a break inbetween for one of the Lennon episodes. It was actually 3eps. That ep in the middle was classified as common route ep, so she got 3 like the rest of the heroines. |

I think Refrain has more feels to it than After story, but while getting to the best parts it did a great job at working its way there. |

No man, the guy said that the route was going to be in the recently finished season and seeing as the test was in the actual Kud route and wasn't part of the common route, I think it's safe to say that Kud's route was 4 episodes. Hopefully Kurugaya can be 4-5 episodes, seeing as they now have more episode space! |

The episode before the Lennon episode was the beginning of her route... so she got 4 episodes for her routes content. |

| Ohhh sounds cool! I haven't played the game yet, though I will after Refrain. ;D |
| maybe i should start watching the first season but i don't want it to be a waste of time. |
Mr_Gutts said: maybe i should start watching the first season but i don't want it to be a waste of time. If you liked how Afterstory was you should like Second season of LB. First season = Build up, nothing more. |
|
| I wonder the OVA bundles with the complete set of BD/DVD will be about. We have Kud, Haruka, Komari and Mio done, Kurugaya in season two so it will probably be about Kanata. Let's just wait and see |
  |
| I thought it was a given long time ago lol. |

|
| I sat through this terrible first season just to see that Refrain arc everyone was talking about. So let's see, I hope I won't be disapointed. |
| Not surprised. Will be interesting to see how this turns out. |

RyanSaotome said: ihateeveryone said: Thank goodness. I expect many good things from Refrain and many shitty complaints like "no one asked for a season two!11!" It's not like people were begging for that or anything. Lots of people were, actually. Theres no point in making a Little Busters anime without doing Refrain. The entire first part is all a set up for Refrain. I was being sarcastic when I said that, mostly referring to the first post that said "nobody asked for this," when in reality it's what pretty much everyone wanted. |

I think Refrain has more feels to it than After story, but while getting to the best parts it did a great job at working its way there. I know that AfterStory was still unbeatable but I do like LB Refrain than After Story but the only problem is the anime studio maybe J.C. Staff do some weird things for the Refrain. |

|
| Alright can't wait for it. Although it isn't as amazing as Clannad, Angel Beats, or Kanon 2006. xD |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Well I dropped 1st season on 1st ep.Never liked LB so i dont care what will happen with the 2nd season. |

Kengo said: Yahooooooooo! *smiles* |

| When you guys say "After Story" do you guys mean Clannad? I liked the first season though it was a little boring at times But Little Busters was hella boring. |
 |
Icebreaker93 said: Well I dropped 1st season on 1st ep.Never liked LB so i dont care what will happen with the 2nd season. Wow... I like how you specified that you dropped on the first episode like it's some kind of achievement. At least try and sit through the whole thing before dropping it. You may enjoy it. Even I'll admit that the first episode wasn't that amazing, even the first arc wasn't too great either, but after ep 5 the show got significantly better. |
Alexx_ said: When you guys say "After Story" do you guys mean Clannad? I liked the first season though it was a little boring at times But Little Busters was hella boring. Yes we mean Clannad: AS. Clannad rated so highly because it wasn't as boring as LB in some aspects, of course the animation was way better too and Clannad has a better progression leading up to Afterstory. Little Busters season 1 is pure build up on the characters, nothing more. Icebreaker93 said: Well I dropped 1st season on 1st ep.Never liked LB so i dont care what will happen with the 2nd season. Want a cookie for such a feat? |

Alexx_ said: When you guys say "After Story" do you guys mean Clannad? I liked the first season though it was a little boring at times But Little Busters was hella boring. Yes they did. While Clannad 1st season is very straight forward and directed+animated better, Little Busters! 1st season is much more subtler with it's main plot (at least before the second cour), so that's understandable. You can only compare them after Refrain is out though, since After Story! and Refrain basically are the main dish of both series. But they are quite different : After Story! is kinda independent from the first season since it focus pretty much on the later family life, but Refrain is there to answer all of the questions in the entire story. |
Nepeta said: Maybe they'll actually get it right this time. My thought exactly, or maybe they will do an epic double fail lmao. Why do they make 2nd seasons of bad series and leave the great series unfinished SM damn H |
 |
| Looking forward to it |
Icebreaker93 said: And still you care to announce out loud that you don't care even after you dropped the show on 1st ep. LMAOWell I dropped 1st season on 1st ep.Never liked LB so i dont care what will happen with the 2nd season. |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

| No shit. If it will be just Refrain and not EX routes added too to prolong it I'll be disappointed even more than I am now by the first season. What happened to Kurugaya's route? It's going to be on Refrain+ Rin 1+2? Makes sense. Add EX too and make it another 26 episode season JC. Oh, and at least change the music placement guy in the second season. He can easily ruin it even more, without him it can be ruined less. But I already want a remake by KyoAni or P.A. Works or White Fox, titled Little Busters! (2036). |

DeadEnd2013 said: I don't really see why you would like the EX routes in the Refrain season as Sasami's is post-Refrain and Saya's requires the reader to know about the Secrets of the World. Kurugaya's is confirmed to be in the Refrain season. I'm guessing that they would like to reserve it for that season as it gives the biggest hint to the Secrets of the World D:No shit.

Ishisu said: I don't even want them to touch Sasami or Saya's route because they'll most likely ruin it. :C In Sasami's route, I can agree with you in which I can see how they will terribly rush this out. In Saya's route, I don't know if they have some plans on HOW they will adapt her route. DeadEnd2013 said: No shit.

It's going to be on Refrain+ Rin 1+2? Makes sense. Add EX too and make it another 26 episode season JC. It would be inappropriate if they will end it on an EX route. Anyway, like what Dizzyworld said, the last 1/4 of Kanata's route and Sasami's route are after the events of Refrain in which those two route are treated as sequels after the main story and Saya's route is totally out of the question for LB's main story.

I didn't know that since I didn't read the EX routes, just read the EX 4koma manga. The EX routes are yet to be translated into English, waiting eagerly for the translation of them. At least JC should animate EX too in another season. I see no reason why not. |

| Meh, I can barely get myself to watch the current season. |

DeadEnd2013 said: At least JC should animate EX too in another season. I see no reason why not. It's confirmed anyway that they'll adapt all routes so that means EX routes are included. |

| Do not want. |
| not sure if im hyped....i actually wanted it to end. wasnt expecting another season but whatever im still gonna watch it :) |

| Why am I not surprised at all? There's literally no point in making a LB anime if you're not going to make Refrain. I'll be waiting to see how they adapt Refrain. Btw, After Story >>>> Refrain. Refrain is terribly overrated. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
DraconisMarch said: I'd be super-excited if the first season wasn't already shit. I wonder how much of a difference not having J.C. Staff would've made. KyoAni refuse to do any KEY stuff anymore for some reason. |

| Though I've no investment in the series myself seeing all this optimism is making me pull for a good second season. Good luck people, may the industry not crush your hopes and dreams. |

It's basically to introduce all the characters and their arcs. We get it, first season was a build-up. For many anime-only viewers like me though, that build up was dull. Refrain will have less impact if viewers have little attachment to the characters. That's something you need to understand as a VN player. You aren't exactly helping by continually hyping it up. |
