I cannot wait to IN YOUR FACE all the people that ridiculed the story when only having watched the first few episodes.

Just finished Refrain...
Just WOW. I can't wait till the whole story is animated, and I'm so glad I got to enjoy it.
Definitely one of the best experiences, as my first VN, and having seen a a bunch of anime and manga.

The Ending video for the VN's hilarious too.
I know this isn't a VN discussion, but just had to say how much I enjoyed it, so that people might see and continue to stick with the show.

Little Busters ROCK!

Now you know why we get annoyed when people say Little Busters sucks and they are dropping it.

Sometimes I wonder when people drop Anime, especially for 24+ Episode series. Story takes time to develop, but nope.avi all you see from like episode 1-5 Range "DROP"

SleepingEntity said:

What makes even less sense is when they go writing reviews about how it sucks so far, acting like that's a valid excuse and then telling others not to watch it unless they enjoy crappy moe school life anime. I mean, this is a Key adaptation. Slow "school life" starts are nothing new. Of COURSE there's going to be more involved content later. And yet they go on and on about "this isn't your precious VN, etc etc., it's so boring, yada yada yada"

Mio is awesome. She's my second favourite Key character, just after Nagisa, which isn't even a fair comparison, seeing as how Nagisa got all the attention in Clannad.

Characters who just fawn over the protagonist going MOE MOE are the boring ones in my eyes. Mio actually has a distinct personality that is rather unique in Key VNs. And she does not lack emotion - she doesn't want to get close to anyone because she wants to be forgotten. In fact, she's one of the heroines that makes more sense in LB.

This episode was quite freaky as my true fears of my Mega theory whom even Kenshin might deny it, well he did not object to it. Here:

This is my theory on Mio's whole arc revealed. Based on my instincts I have read around the whole last person is not Mio but a childhood imaginary friend that she forgot and it came alive. Its medium being Mio’s shadow to appear and that is why she hides it. Source:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Little_Busters!_characters
http://littlebusters.wikia.com/wiki/Mio_Nishizono

Now that being said I formulate the following: based on R&D I found of the following,
http://www.perception9.com/ghosts-and-hauntings/ghost-experience.php?article=Shadow-People&item=00000181
Whom is what I think is Mio’s imaginary friend. That was done by her ESP powers that she may not know about at all and it’s not even hinted. At most assumed. Now that being assumed we can easily deduce the following,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ectoplasm_(paranormal)
Whom is how it formed itself but because Mio’s limits on her world it was not that strong in manifestations until that fake world was made where the limits of it are far less. As a result this site:
http://www.paranormalghostsociety.org/ghosts.htm
Suggests it may be a Shadow Ghost Class 5. That is pretty wild if it turns out to be one. Further studies in the following,
http://www.annsparanormal.freehomepage.com/custom2.hhtml
Avert to it may be a ghost shadow indeed.

So based on all that Mio made a fake friend that became alive due to her kinetic outbursts and her developed mind that became at most a harmless ghost visible to her. With another world it becomes a threat that might be as far as giving bad energy to Mio and most of all can appear and manipulate things much more. If anything it be a danger since Mio is using a parasol to shield herself from it.

Based on this and on top of that here:
http://books.google.ca/books?id=U9mGiqpR9gsC&pg=PT62&lpg=PT63&ots=92tCU_VhlV&dq=missing+your+shadow%2Bmeaning
It tells quite clearly what is the manifestation of the shadow.

It’s to further note that the secret of the world assuming the following: To see you own shadow in your dream, signifies an aspect of yourself which you have not acknowledged or recognized. It may be a quality about yourself or a part of you that you are rejecting or want to keep hidden. These qualities may not necessary be negative, but can be creative ones.
To see a shadowy figure in your dream, represents aspects of this figure which you have not acknowledged or incorporated into your own personality. Alternatively, it symbolizes the young, the helpless or the under-developed. Holds true from this source:
http://www.oocities.org/jadeaaustin/spells/dd.html.tmp
Could very well be a dream made up world. Question still remains who and why. More than anything how any fabrication of such great calliper would be possible. However it would certainly explain Mio’s shadow coming to life aka Midori.

Now here’s another question WHY? Why would Mio not have what Midori has? What caused it in her past? Was she abused by the family? Was she never cared for enough?

So much to know more of Mio due to this episode.

It’s however to note that the freaky part is clearly knowing for a fact that Mio’s shadow is missing parts whom is quite freaky indeed.

However I am sure that Rikki’s book is plain simply going to be the medium that will bring her back. There is no other way less he studies black/white magic from the occult itself.

Many times I was think if only the Ghostbusters would bust out that shadow on the side lines.

It’s to note that I find Midori slutty the way she goes about Rikki. I would prefer much more Mio and her talk. As low and not great it may be, it’s pitch and pace makes it sexy and kinky. Enough at least to be much tasteful that Midori’s all over Rikki like some TRAMP! It’s too bad because Mio’s appearance is also being soiled. I can understand she might have desires of this but many girls do and I find Mio to be unique and that she can do the same with eye contact and sweet talk.

I am sure many will agree with this notion.

I shall stop there as I am watching other animes now.

It's just that she never smiles and is always saying Riki is trying to sexually harass her. There's nothing fun about her. Midori has an actual personality. I will however agree that by wanting to be forgotten that does make her unique and is something I forgot about.

Just I think Midori, despite being basically a twin for Mio, is actually attractive since she has a personality that isn't "I want to be forgotten." It's amazing what a mood change can do (not that it is one, but you get my point).

And to the guy who finished Refrain, congratulations =) I'm glad to hear of people on here playing it rather than waiting for the show to do it.

In contrast to most of the guys here, I liked Haruka's route the most,
why?

nnangle said:
For us that haven't started yet, would this be a good place?

Arcriatrix said:


so after Mio's arc ends, we'll be back to the boring daily life route then there goes another girl, I guess it'll be Kurugaya up next, then Kud, Haruka, then



and the season might end this way:

Arcriatrix said:
ratings don't matter, actually there were top ranked shows that are sh*tty for my taste, I advice people not to judge a show by its rank, also the fact that fanboys or haters can freely overrate/underrate their favorite/hated show is something to consider as well when looking for something worthy

@Yumekichi
you're theory is
