Oh damn, Riki. Cute episode I guess. Rin was cute with Riki as she's playing with Riki. Her pitching skills are also decent~. Nice to see Masato again this episode. For the Little Busters team! |

| That was a really good episode. They managed to condense everything without leaving out much. Looking forward to next week's episode! |

| Are they avoiding 'A World Where Nothing Happened' or something?! That's such a fantastic track and they still haven't used it! Other than that, I thought this episode was decent. It could've been a little better, but they certainly captured that odd atmosphere that came with Refrain, so I'll just wait and see how these next 6 episodes turn out. 4/5 |

| @inuvivo on twitter! |
| Just watched the ep. It was excellent. A world is born give me chills. But I have the feeling that we will never hear "A world where nothing happened" on the anime. Also I love what they have done with Rin´s eyes in this episode. Such a good detail <3 |
| New on Myanimelist. |
| Kami-Sama staffing does it again. What a great episode. Visual novel faggots don't be faggots. |
| Well that was an interesting episode. That lava lamp effect... |

oh yeah.. I was still trying to log in to chat since I've forgotten my username and had to request it by email so I missed that part xD |
| Well, who kinniku here? |
| Kyousuke became a shut-in. I'm confused, did Riki lose his memories or something? |
 |
| No, my babe... http://25.media.tumblr.com/2790967d4774de21621927c393e696c2/tumblr_mwd4ceSKq71sc4di6o1_1280.jpg http://31.media.tumblr.com/db0295e4187e620501f13c308b80247f/tumblr_mwd4ceSKq71sc4di6o5_1280.jpg Why. Btw, I wanted and finally see him like that but it's painful anyway ;-; |
| Odd pacing all over the place. I didn't like this episode compare to others this season. I don't know... |
| 0_0 I got confused for a moment there before I realized that this is taking place in an alternate world... No, I don't read the VN. XD |
| "Aiming for the mark takes precision, balance, and patience." ....Screw that, let's shoot the damn thing! |
| Good ep. Not much to say from me either. Good OST placing imo. And they got the feels and mysteries depicted pretty well. Sad seeing each girls fav place empty T_T Riki's path to become strong has begun. Still wondering how anime only viewers are viewing this? They might be a bit confused here XD Mod Edit: Removed discussion about future events. |

| I missed that main menu theme~ XD |
| Watch how most of the anime only viewers will be really confused. Hav u noticed that riki freakin repeats his past story about him losing his parents and being depressed until he made friends like almost every start to a route? On another note, BENCH-KUN!!! |
| Good Episode. I like how it played. With Rin her eyes has changed I see. Kyousuke is in the dark in his room all the time now. Riki is going to try to get everyone get together again which is good. Too bad we probably not see all the other girls anymore because the places they used to be are empty :( |
LightBladeNova said: It makes me sad to know that still hardly anyone knows what a visual novel is, even in the anime community. |
| liked how the main menu theme suddenly showed up at the end :3 |
  |
| I knew it they are in some another world! But I don't understand some things... why Kyousuke is like that? There are other girls in this world? They show their places, but they aren't there... I want next episode! |
    |
| I was kind of lost in this episode because of minor pacing issues until I realize it is another world... but still it was a good episode and some emotional scenes though. Kyousuke in his room all crunched up with that dark aura around him, Little Busters is beginning to be part ways, and Rin now has her shyness coming back. Riki still won't give up and will find this 'secret' of this world. |
| Someone please tell me the name of the music starting right in the 1st second of the episode.It was also played when Kengo punched Kyousuke in ep 6. |
| Good episode.. Started off Refrain well, loved the scene Riki and Rin playing catchball. Now we get some goodies next episode :)) |
| この世界には。。。秘密がある |
| http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6xvttRivjQ&list=PL0B7EB8CDA1B02282 Thin Chronicles is such a creepily happy song (Don't read the comments~) Well that was great, I found it a bit boring though, but it is the start. Kyousuke, Kengo, Masato, they're all so ;-;. it's painful to watch them less enthusiastic now. |
| Good job, JCS, this time you did well! I have high hopes now, it seems they are really taking Refrain seriously and staying true to source. Finally some decent episode, I really enjoyed this one. Those feels, nostalgia got me. For the first time in Refrain it felt like in the novel. And nice work with soundtrack this time. |
| Great episode. But, the pace... i think it will makes anime only viewer confused (actually, they are) Episode 8 to 13 will be the 'very true' arc of refrain. Hopes it gets better and better. |
| The OST is becoming more and more relevant :D |
| Omg a time loop??!! or alternate world?? I think is the first choice because the name of the episode. This episode was like the first episode from the first season but now all the little busters are now separating. And also is pretty obvius that Kyousuke, Masato and Kengo knows what happened to this world. I'm pretty sure that the "secret of the world" have to do with the time loop. I seriously want to spoiler myself what is the secret but I have to be patient. |

| この世界には。。。秘密がある |
| Will this become something like higurashi no naku koro ni? haha anyways, love when something like this happens, can't wait to see next episode. |
| I feel like the visuals could've been better in some scenes. Maybe it's the camera angles or smth... OST magic, A world is born ftw~ Wonder when they will show The world where nothing happened~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZtMsMcOuRc |
| They keep talking about another world and stuff, if this doesn't go supernatural then I don't know how they will justify what in hells happening. Why are they so quick to leave each other, why does Kyousuke seem suicidal and why do they like each other one minute and not the next... Also, lol at how some of the characters have just disappeared such as Komari and Kud, and aren't mentioned by anyone. |

Yeah, if only the series would go into supernatural already... http://puu.sh/5kbwn.jpg http://puu.sh/5kbyI.jpg I wonder if people have realized that time has gone back to May 13th (the episode title, and the first day of the LB anime, before the girls were part of the baseball team or really involved in the show.) As for liking each other one minute and not the next, I'm assuming you're referring to Masato and Kengo. They do that because they don't want Riki to recreate the baseball team the same way Kyousuke did. |

| This was a pretty good episode. |
| The first page on this thread. So many Masato's on the avatars!! Good episode, can't wait for next week!! |
 |
| Lol why so many Masato's??? Eventhough I already figured about Also, this is a completely "anime that I wish I could marathon" material lol. |
| Lets give a moment of silence for the fallen.. |

| What a pale shadow of a sequal this is turning out to be. Lost all its humour and plot. |
greebo said: What a pale shadow of a sequal this is turning out to be. Lost all its humour and plot. The thing is Refrain IS the plot. S1 arguably does not have a focused plot, just character routes, and Refrain ties them together to the real plot of Little Busters!. There is some humor in original source in Refrain but sadly, it'll probably be cut due to time constraints. Not that it truly matters due to the seriousness of Refrain :/ |
 |
| Welp, I don't care about these discussions until episode 11 happens. People being confused equate their confusion with the show having no plot. And on top of that, I had low expectations for this episode and JC Staff didn't even meet them, so I don't have much faith in "Kami-sama Staffing" anymore. *Fingers crossed for a remake of this travesty of an adaptation.* So yeah, it's like saying Higurashi didn't have a plot up until the last 4 episodes. |
