| ^how was he badass lol Wow... like half of Rin's route was cramped into the ED... So here comes refrain. |
| @inuvivo on twitter! |
| Good animation back yay. Moved at the speed of light. Totally expected since they condensed so much in 1 ep. NEXT WEEK AND BEYOND lets hope thats where all the money is poured into. CALLED GAME. < Kyousuke badass |
| GAH WHERE. GAH WHO? GAH WHAT? Edit: Have to wait three hours more for this glorious moment :( |
| and, an ad has to start just as I was gonna see called game -.- fml anyway amazing episode ^_^ think we can have high hopes for refrain now :D and so many great Kengo moments but they ending didn't feel as suspenseful as the VN =3= everything looked so great ^_^ time for Refrain now :3 |
 |

| @Egnaro, at least we have determined Lennon is really Kyube in disguise and Komari is Madoka xD |
| |
| Did they really show Not sure if /a/ is trolling me. They made it seem pretty bad, but I'm waiting for HD. |
Vladz0r said: Did they really show Not sure if /a/ is trolling me. They made it seem pretty bad, but I'm waiting for HD. Yeah they did |
| Wow, this sounds fucking terrible. There goes the 2nd best scene in the VN. Oh well, at least Kurugaya's route got budget. That's what Refrain was about, right? Seriously though, some of their directing ideas, and showing I just hope it's better in HD or something. |
| Was the episode not appealing to you guys? How was cheap tricks animated? and what about Rin and Riki running away? no house scene's or anything? boo boo :c |
| Yeah, I'm not really picky about this episode but I thought they would at least |
| I thought it was directed really well except the Miyuki part...that threw off the mood for me >.> but the art and animation seemed really good this episode~ at least to me |
| |
smilewolfy said: I thought it was directed really well except the Miyuki part...that threw off the mood for me >.> but the art and animation seemed really good this episode~ at least to me Yeah props to them for the animation in this episode ( although I suspect that's where the budget for the last two episodes went). Now it's finally starting next week. The sole reason any studio will be willing to adapt the whole visual novel. |
| Gonna check it out for myself on Himado. This sounds way worse than I imagined, but I can't wait 3 hours xD The beginning seems legit so far. Let's see... |

smilewolfy said: best not to go in think it's bad or you'll just find bad things about it >.> Actually, everything went according to my expectations. It was only I thought the cheap tricks/ called game was well done but it could never compete with the original CG, and the music was nice too. |
| Well, I won't be able to fall back asleep now, so :X |

| |
| Oh wow, this baseball song sounds like something out of DBZ LOL Oh wow and a remix of Parting of the Boys. Well, at least the music is good. |
| 2 Hours and 20 minutes to go. But I'm reading all these comments... Please dear anime god. please no. No nonono. This is one of my favorite scenes of all time. Now I'm not sure...If they screwed this scene up... I dont know anymore. I cry. |
| Damn. I'm not too sure what to say about this episode. I'm seeing people talk about the Miyuki scene as like, butchering the cheap tricks scene on the first time, which I find to be a HUGE exaggeration. All it really means is that they'll be saving same time in Episode: Kengo most likely (so we probably won't see Cheap Tricks again until episode Kyousuke). The Cheap Tricks scene was actually really great in my opinion. Kengo's scream, Kyousuke's Called Game, it was pretty well executed. The ending was a little fast and they didn't have the promise either. Of course, they could easily start of next episode with the promise and then kick into Refrain. Overall, very solid episode. Next comes Refrain :D |
| This episode was so epic, my goodness. BEST EPISODE SO FAR, I want next episode now >< |
| Yes! A Song by Lia!!!!! :D |
| Anyone else laughed at the brown cat glaring at Riki and his onigiri xD |
| I still haven't actually seen the end part with Hanabi LOL I was too busy making this: Himado stream quality, but I think I was satisfied with the scene as a whole. http://i.imgur.com/BYA4R8J.jpg Hopefully there are some better shots re-drawn for Kyousuke/Kengo's arc, but I thought it alright. Could've been better, could've been worse. Let's see what others think about this episode, though. I'm glad they focused a lot on CHEAP TRICKS, but I what people will think of the runaway. (Which I still have yet to watch xD) Anyway- http://i.imgur.com/BYA4R8J.jpg Well, after watching the Hanabi compilation, I thought the way they did it and the ending were pretty good. Considering I never liked Rin, I wouldn't have cared to see it get another episode or whatever. The whole part with Riki passing out due to narcolepsy, the abrupt end, Riki and Rin not being able to hold onto each other. The fireworks with all the Little Busters, so nice xD It didn't really show too much of the struggle Riki and Rin were having, but it also didn't make anime watchers hate Rin like some VN viewers did, with how the VN version ended. It was a good move to change the ending, even if they did wind up cutting a lot of content. I want to see how they plan to start the next episode, because they didn't include a scene from the VN |

| This episode was great. That Cheap Tricks!... again, like everyone else, my biggest gripe is showing Miyuki during that scene. Oh well, at least Kengo's voice acting was great as well and Kyousuke was portrayed very well. Starting from this episode is going to be a major feels ride :( |

| I haven't watched yet but what's wrong with showing Miyuki? |
 |
| I totally expected that they would show Miyuki in this episode, so I don't surprised by that at all. Anyways this episode was so fucking good for me, the scene when Kengo yells at Kyousuke hyped me as hell >< Can't wait for next week... REFRAIN ARC COME TO US! |
 |
| Hmm, sort of mixed reactions to this episode. Riki's struggling sure wasn't pleasing to watch. I love the OST during that rain scene though. Is that a new OST? I haven't heard of it yet. Dat embrace~ egnaro315 said: Anyone else laughed at the brown cat glaring at Riki and his onigiri xD I did! |

They used like 2 new songs during the rain, the new Hanabi song at the end, and they used the new song from the last episode again. I thought you don't know Japanese, Stark? Do you just watch the raw now and then rewatch it subbed later? (That's what I'm doing, and then I'll edit it for Refrain Subs later) |

| JC Staff in charge of shock factor, hah. The 200 Secret of the World hints already covered that. I should've expected to see Miyuki. Kinda sucks that they'd change my 2nd favorite part of the VN like that. And @eminagnam Yeah, when JC Staff condensed like 2 hours of content into 23 minutes, this kinda crap happens. They kept it dramatic and interesting, but some parts lost buildup and made little sense I guess. As to why a baseball game rather than letting Rin or the schoolmaster choose on their own: That wouldn't be a character driven conflict, then. I guess it does kind of seem like they're fighting for control of Rin, but I don't really see what's wrong with it. That's like, why did Tomoya have to bat against Akio to get to propose to Nagisa? Nagisa's an independent woman and can decide for herself. I didn't object to that, though. It's intended to be a challenge of Riki's growth, but Kyousuke was able to win , and that led to Riki's rebellion of Kyousuke's plan and the runaway. Kyousuke essentially had more control over Rin, being her older brother, than the schoolmaster people. The people at school aren't the focus of the plot at all, and they're a essentially just another device for Kyousuke to accomplish his goals. |

eminagnam said: The decision can be made by Rin or the schoolmaster only, no? In this respect, the episode felt forced. You'll realize this point is invalid once you understand the Secret of the World... And also, Rin is pretty much broken by that point. |
|
| And with what dizzyworld2 said: Yeah, the Secret of the World explains a lot of the character logic in regards to how the school worked in the anime. It'll make sense that the point of the show isn't really the events at the face value, like Rin being sent off by schoolmaster, but the struggles between the characters. The entire plot is essentially representative of something "greater". |
| Glad to hear ;) I'm just still pretty upset that they straight up showed Miyuki. I just wonder if the anime viewers will get too much from this scene. Looking at the raw, these baseball parts seem pretty good. Also, it's coming: http://imgur.com/a/bhskw |
