Poor Kengo, he didn't make that shot in the rain. ;.;. I really liked the OST of this episode and Kengo's efforts. Oh shit, he got striked out by Rin. What an epic pitch. |

| Ep10->そして俺は繰り返す I will wait for the himado version since that at justintv was too laggy to watch. Not sure if I like this episode yet but at least it was okay from the live stream. Mod Edit: Please use a separate thread for discussing VN stuff. |

| I quite liked this episode. I actually got quite emotional near the end, which was hard for even the VN to do in this moment, so I like that. I feel this episode was adapted decently, especially as they only had an episode to do so. It actually fit quite well into an episode from what I can see. I'll wait until they sub it to have a final opinion. But yay, Kengo. |
| Rin has so much more personality. :o I really like that. Animation was also pretty consistent this time around. They sure threw many stuff at us this episode... But the more they use that ending song the less it's going to be emotional... o_o; |

| I really liked this episode. Out of the original LB!, Kengo truly is the most child-like. |

| My feels are not ready for the next remaining episodes! :'X Meanwhile, there's so many blatant hints being thrown around! >< |
| Guys keep your visual novel discussions in the other thread please. Also keep your visual novel spoilers in the other thread. We are discussing the best man here. and the best episode. |
| This was a good episode. Epic last pitch by Rin. I feel for Kengo crying at the end. What happened to Kyousuke at the end? Looked like he got beaten up really bad. |
 |
| Dem FEEEEEELS T_T To tell the truth I wasn't ready for the emotions this episode had in store. I found it more emotional than the VN tbh T^T...too much onion cutting around everytime I hear Song for Friends ;_; Dat Baseball match was perfect!!! Riki was friggin BA!! "I AM LBs LEADER!!!" Like a BOSS!!! :D Rin growing up so quickly and her memories of Komari and the others :*(...Dat last pitch was friggin EPIC!!! Loved how Masato was acting all cool this ep after realizing that Riki and Rin have grown strong enough to be independent :)...He had no doubts about them winning at all ^^ Kengo's flash back was so nice with Kyousuke being BOSS as usual. And him wanting to protect Riki and Rin just to get mind fucked by how strong they really were. His crying at the end was really emotional ;_; And Kyousuke is totally broken in that scene when Kengo was talking to him. Can't wait for his part nxt >.< But, HOLY SHIT!! WHAT'S WITH THE BLATANT FORESHADOWING WITH KYOUSUKE AT THE END O_O!! Gotta admit, It made it even more emotional though and the timing for it was perfect with his smile and tear. But I'm not sure if they should have revealed that this quickly O_o? Bravo JC!! I was gonna prepare the tissues for nxt ep so this ep making me tear up took me by surprise hehe. I am stunned at how good it was :D. |

Spoilers Kengo almost killed Kyousuke for fucking with him on previous world reset and it was off camera <--- Not a spoiler a big joke |

| I liked Kengo in this epi but I still don't get why this is happening. He knows about the other world and tries to protect him from the things that hurt him there? But Kyousuke had created all the mess back then, so... take him out of the picture (and he is out of the picture, he has become almost literally one with the wall in his room) and everyone should be ok /o\ Being a bitch and avoiding them, doesn't rly do much, Kengo! I still can't get what the series is doing so mehh. I can't care for the individual episodes if I feel something big is missing /o\ I'd like this episode muuuch better if I just knew xD |
   |
| I actually liked this epi better than masato's one major problem still is: TOO MANY F*CKIN' HINTS >__< too bad the didn't adapt rin and lawrence XD |
| beep |
| Lot better than Masato's ep I have to say, kinda touched me at the end (bit too much foreshadowing though don't you think?) I constantly feel reminded that it was a while since I played the VN, but maybe that's a good thing |

(Also, the problem for Kengo is that Riki's trying to do what Kyousuke did before and he doesn't like that. He seems to know that Riki reforming the Little Busters will just end badly so he's trying his very best to stop it all.) |

| Episode mainly focus on Kengo, still it was a great episode just like Masato's story. I got tear jerking when Kengo is back from the, but wonder what happen to Kyousuke at the end... |

| Really good. Can't even complain really. I think the rest of the show will be really good as well so yayyy. |
| The episode was good. Finally found out what really happened on the cheap trick. Riki realize that Kengo's hand was fine. They played baseball. When Riki said "I'm the Little Busters leader" and hit a home run was epic. And Rin remembering Mod Edit: Removed discussion about stuff beyond the episode. |

Ol-Hybrius said: That was very good episode in my opinion. The end wasn't as tear-jerking as in the VN but it was still more than okay. Also, I really liked Masato during this episode. I didn't see those twenty minuts pass at all and I would have hope a longer flashback, Masato's was definitly better. As said before, too much hints on the secret but most of the people should have figure dout what happened by now. I thought it wasn't as good as Masato's episode to me, but really near to it. Maybe my mind will change when I'll rewatch it. I think it was better than the Masato episode actually. Kengo's character in this episode is absolutely fantastic. This episode is intertwined with fantastic internal conflicts, character conflicts, mysteries and heavy plot. Not only that, but it's doing so much. Look at that baseball game. It made Rin a much better character than she was in the VN, made Kengo's character so much clearer, showed Riki's growth and even showed off Masato's new, calm, wise personality while returning him back to his seat of neutrality. It was a fantastic episode and I hope the next 4 will be even better, especially as, imo, those were the best parts of the entire VN and what made it so fantastic for me. Now begins, the true ride :D |
| This episode was brilliant I can say. Loved it :P It made me tear up a couple of times~ Man, dat Kawaii Rin. Riki acting all mucho was the highlight. Kengo crying made me tear up aswell QQ! Episode was good.. Animation was good :) Was that spoilers? O.o say what now .__. |

| VN READERS NO HINTS PLS. So much foreshadowing. Also Kengo's episode was the most that made me want to cry ;-;. dat faraway tho. why |
ExboNov 30, 2013 9:03 AM
| actually kengo part was my second favorite in LB! glad it done well... |
     |
| I don't care what anyone says about foreshadowing, CG's, objective opinions (lol), whatever, that one was damn good episode. I didn't feel a darn thing playing the entire visual novel at any point, but I had to legitimately hold back the tears for this. Fucking well done, J.C. Fucking.Well.Done. |

Trust me your patience in this will be rewarded, it is one of the most beautiful things ever created! :) |
| It was a really good episode. I loved Riki´s resolve and how he kept swinging even after falling to the ground and getting hurt. Also I think the original members of LB act like a family, with Rin and Riki being the children, Kengo being the over-protecting mother that will always think that his children need her and are not ready to take care of themselves, Kyousuke being the dad who wants to teach his children to deal with the real world and to grow up, and Masato... well I dont know, the cool older brother who just supports the young ones. |

You've also got to congratulate Kengo's VA. I swear, he has to be the most talented on the entire team. His acting is absolutely fantastic. I actually think he might be better than Kyousuke's VA. Just possibly. |
| Wow. First episode in both seasons that made me cry. I'm not even kidding, this episode hit me hard. I should seriously play the VN someday. |
| I was afraid that they would screw up this episode after seeing how they handled Masato last episode but I'm pleasantly surprised. |
| Lol, Riki really had a spectacularly dramatic strike there at a stage, face plant. Also Kengo had a dramatic last strike as well. |
| Rising Meow Ball FTW!!!Only Kyousuke left and LB is back :) Can't wait for next episode. |
 |
| I have no words twas a nice episode~ Komari x Rin all the way |
| my feels.. i cant |
| この世界には。。。秘密がある |
| OMG. This is so damn good. First, it was a first episode in entire LB! that makes me cry. An emotional episode. Glad that this series is getting better and better. Thanks JC!! but, that scene in the end @@ |
| Awesome episode. Favorite so far. The only thing that worries me was Kyousuke in the end. I don't read the VN but the only came to my mind was |
| Man that Kengo regret... Those tears... |
| Part of Refrain Subs for Little Busters!: Refrain Recently Played/Read VNS (Most Recent to Oldest): - Da Capo - Grisaia no Kajitsu - ef - a fairy tale of the two - G-senjou no Maou - Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo & Sharin no Kuni, Yuukyuu no Shounenshoujo (Fan Disk) - Rewrite - Hoshizora no Memoria -Wish upon a shooting star- - Clannad - Little Busters EX! |
| I have to say that i'm very satisfied with this episode. I loved every minute <3 It was well done considering they only had 23 minutes to fit everything in. the last scene with kyousuke broke my heart T_T |
| Good episode, but the crying scene kinda felt different than in the vn. I'm pretty sure I whined a lot more there, huh. I liked how everyone came to cheer him up though. Song For Friends out of place again... But now when I think about it maybe it's better this way, otherwise we would have another Clannad AS, when Torch attacked us after every depressing scene, lol. Still, they had better use something more fitting for the next episode. |

| This was one of the only episodes so far to make me tear up,(Episode 18, episodes 24-26, and episode 3 and 6 of refrain are the others, this was such an amazing episode! THANK YOU JC STAFF! THE FEELS ARE STARTING TO COME FULL FORCE! :') |
| Surprisingly, this episode was indeed really good. Im glad they didn´t ruin this episode, since it was another great part of Refrain. Also, dat hint at the end ><. I hope Episode Kyousuke is also good, since it was my favorite part of the VN. |
| Great episode, loved it. It was a really amazing episode, knowing that Kyousuke is in that state, it is true, that it really what happened to Riki and Rin. Now Kengo this again with the others, but the question remains, What is the secret of the world? |
 |
| Bring on the sekai no himitsu~ |
| I almost cried in the end, I admit it. Masato's arc was really good, but this Kengo's arc was surprising even better. It had really a sad but brilliant and refreshing impact on me. Also, I can finally get to understand what's going on. Now what misses is, what happened to Kyousuke in the end as he seemed to be beaten up and most important, what's this Sekai no Himitsu everyone is talking about. |
