From what i gathered when i read it: WARNING LOTS OF SPOILERS FOR LB AND KW: While in the fake world kud goes back home etc and all the stuff that happens in LB is true, in the real world in the KW version at least, aka the extended kud route, they play it off as though kud did go back home, her mom was dead and she was abducted and raped repeatedly by the rebels in the cave. Honestly, i didnt like KW that much since all the main characters for LB were not there which kinda goes against the entire theme of friendship in LB. |

But still, if that's really the case, then they executed it so bad. time has stopped in LB so it could be possible for them to see flashes of the future. I dont remember any specifically in LB vn but this may be JC staffs way of working around the impossible story and trying to adapt it to anime with out giving away the actual ending. I think given that the world exists with out time as they say many times in refrain and the way Kyouske seems to be able to predict the future, its possible. then again i always figured it was because they had probably repeated almost ever single event too many times to count that kyouske had this knowledge. |

I don't remember exactly were I read it, or who said it, but I'm pretty sure that someone said that the LB! anime requires mutual understanding from both VN players and anime-only watchers, and that VN players are also in for a surprise whe it comes to the secret of the world. Which is probably the reason for this whole flashforward thing. |

Which is probably the reason for this whole flashforward thing. I hope thats true, because if look at the way the VN is and think about trying to make a anime out of it that is coherent and doesn't give away the secret of the world, the only way to do so would be to add slight changes to how everything works. otherwise you'd end up with like something similar to the "endless 8" from Suzumiya Haruhi, except much longer and a bit more tedious. there are just parts of the game that wouldnt work in an anime if you just tried to do them directly from source. This difficulty is why im not being really hypercritical of JC crew's story despite LB being my favorite VN of all time. |

Most likely Key wanted to make her naked. Well there must be a reason why Key made her naked ! That question has been hauting me since forever ! I believe it's because she has natural needs to do and clothes can trouble her. I don't believe there are further reasons. Good episode, really good. |

I liked the first half of this episode a lot, but the communicating thing and the gear transported across the globe left a really bad taste in my mouth. :/ I was hoping they were gonna solve the problem in a much more believable manner(doesn't mean realistic), but at least she thought of the voices as illusions since it's known that people pretend to hear stuff like that to encourage themselves in life threatening moments. However I did like how she realized not to compare herself to her mother and the reunion with her friends. |

The ending to Clannad AS was so vague and confusing that it sort of ruined it all. It'd be even worse if that happened to LB as it's the part of the story that explains everything. It's also what makes the VN so hard to adapt and also remember that it's similar to Haruhi's endless eight, which was received so poorly. You think KyoAni would be willing to try something like that again? I don't think so. |

As for the OST, I would be really better with the final scene of Kud out of the cave, but just hearing him for the first time in anime ever made me happy. I will not accept if not end the Rin1! Expectation that the audience (who did not play the visual novel) would be for the second season? The end must be with Riki 'getting lost' or at least Rin leaving. |

I just looked at the director and this is the first anime he made where serious emotions matter and clearly he is not cut out for this which is a mistake from JC Staff since they have people that probably could do a much better job. I am not a VN player so i can't say how the endings of Clannad and Air should have been so i am probably looking for different things in a Key adaption than a VN player would. And personally i think most works from Key are better then this. |

And personally i think most works from Key are better then this. This is what a lot of people have been saying, even as a VN player I must agree to some extent. The lack of real emotional depth is probably due to the difficulty of the source material to adapt. The paths in Clannad, Air, and even Kanon were by far more straightforward and to some extents could be negligible. While those VNs and anime adaptations relied heavily in the main character's progression and honestly could have ignored some routes entirely, Little Busters! as a VN adaptation can't do that. To keep it spoiler free, I will not go into detail why, but let's just say each and every single event matters in the arcs and brings a better conclusion. The director problem may be true to some extent, but they are largely following the VN and the storyboard for some of the episodes are actually quite impressive. The biggest problem with directors though is that even if they are better at building emotions and bringing forth a better episode, they may not quite fully comprehend the story or have ever read the VN. As an anime viewer, this would probably be fine, but as a VN player and as a Key fan, it'd be a little disappointing. Not that it would be a bad thing to diverge from the VN, but if you gain emotions at the loss of overall tie-in that would be a problem.

Basically what they stated in the episode summary, and those haven't been wrong yet. |

Concerning KyoAni and the adaption, I simply heard that they didn't have time to do it soon because they already have a bunch of other shows planned. If it's "too complex," we have to remember that structurally, LB is virtually the same as Clannad. Six or so heroines, time looping, etc. etc. There is NOTHING complicated about the anime or butchering it. They could've done it easily. As for the unknown source that said VN players would have a surprise, I want a source for that. It gives me a bit of more interest in seeing the next season and I want to make sure I'm not being fucked with. Concerning Kud, even if she was raped only in the artificial world, I mean, they still feel everything that happened. As in, the world isn't like a dream we normally have. I imagine it to be just like I am right now as I sit here typing this. Everything seems real, but I'd wake up to find out it wasn't. But it has that LEVEL of realism which makes it possible for Kud to feel raped. Either way, we need to get to the bottom of this. Is UTW fucking with us, or was Kud really raped? I mean it would make sense since she's naked but still.. Plus, I thought that her mom was dead in the VN? I could've sworn she got shot and killed even in the good ending, or at least was dead. Lastly, concerning season two, I have a bad feeling it will start with either a Rin route or, worst, the EX routes (at least Sasasmi and Futaki, since Saya's would have to be an OVA or at least shown after Refrain). I think that at the very least, Kurugaya's route will be the final one before Refrain, then followed by Rin 2 (since Rin 2 needs to happen directly before Refrain). |

Sasami's arc is unlikely because Sasami's story is after the events of Refrain. (I keep saying this numerous times) And I don't know what do you mean by 'worst'. Kanata's route is a more detailed version of Haruka's route. Sasami's route is a more detailed and well-written version of Kurugaya's route. |

UTW quote I would like you to remember that in Kudwafter, whenever Riki and Kud do the dirty, a certain darkness overwhelms their hearts and minds. Kud remembers how she was chained in a cave, standing in a pool of her own filth, getting ravaged again, and again, and again. Riki remembers that Kud’s first time wasn’t with him, but with several large, dark-skinned men and women. a.) This is complete bullshit. b.) It ignores the logic of the Secret of the World. Kud remembering all of this in Kud Wafter. Also, it wouldn't have physically happened because the world is imaginary in LB. c.) It was never implied nor intended as the purpose of Kud's route. Kud's route in the VN is more bare boned, and about Riki strengthening Kud by using the very useless broken gear that has been the manifestation of Kud's inferiority, Kud feeling LIKE a useless gear, in order to break free from her regrets, mainly (VN spoiler) the regret of not going to see her mom before she died in the real world d.) The guy who wrote this has been reading too many doujins, or hates Kud. Edit: If it's confirmed so be it. I still stick to my first two spoiler explanations, so even if it's brought up in Kud Wafter, it wouldn't matter. Ok, so I guess this is supposed to be the body of a girl who's been "standing in a pool of her own filth, ravaged again and again: And, if you're considering Kud getting supposedly raped canon to the story, then you'd have to consider this canon too: Kud's first time wasn't with Riki. HAH, nice try. |

And personally i think most works from Key are better then this. I got more tears from the character arcs in the Little Busters anime than even the Clannad anime. The character arcs felt completely useless in Clannad and were sort of tame, especially compared to LB. The main route for Clannad was obviously more emotional than the character arcs of LB, but LBs main route is also more emotional than Clannads. If JC keep it up with how they're hinting Refrain, I'm sure that Little Busters will end with plenty of emotions. Overall, I think that the first season of the LB anime is better than the first season of the Clannad anime. Although, everyone has different experiences and obviously yours has been different. |

Impressed by Kud's route, I thought they did it quite well, best route so far. Due to them showing Kurugaya and her playing the piano, I am now hopeful that they will show her arc. Her route was fascinating. Also surprised they slipped in some stuff from Refrain and Rin 2 this early. |

twonline said: But they say it's from Kudwafter VN.... And someone who read VN said it is true... So there must be somewhat of truth to it..... It might be true, it might not. Still (harsh language+spoilers here, idgaf): Riki and Kud fucked in LB EX before Kud Wafter took place. If you say Kud was raped in the cave, whatever, but Kud and Riki's first time was outside the school during the painting in LB EX. You can't even consider Kud being raped canon to Kud Wafter anyway, because it takes place in the imaginary world, and if you DO consider it canon, Riki still had sex with Kud first. But yeah, Kud's first time was with Riki 100%. If that dialogue is true in Kud Wafter, it makes no sense how she would remember being raped in the cave scene, something that can only be implicitly implied, and not remember when they had sex MULTIPLE TIMES in Little Busters EX. If that's actually written in Kud Wafter, it's shit tier writing by referencing the cave scene without referencing any of the sex scenes from the imaginary world. It's bullshit writing logic, whether it's made up by UTW or actually in Kud Wafter. /discussion ihateeveryone said: So Kud... was raped. Right? LB Refrain Spoiler: The cave scene happens in the imaginary world, so she was never physically raped, even if you claim she was raped when she returned to Tebua. |

So I started playing KW and when start a new game,you play the Wafter part of the story which have ALOT of H scenes and almost no real plot .Then when it came to the happy end with the credit show,ending song and all.I thought this was over but then the game start again with what seem to be called After part. And After pretty much started again from the begining and repeat Wafter story but this time it's alot longer with more events and plot while skipping the H scenes. So are we even really sure if KW take place in the real world or is it normal for real world to repeat it self now ? lol Draakisback said: Ive read KW: what they've said is true.

Honestly, i didnt like KW that much since all the main characters for LB were not there which kinda goes against the entire theme of friendship in LB. How the hell did Kud's mom die if she was still alive by the the end of KW !? Or if you're saying those stuffs happened b4 the Wafter part of the story then how did Kud still had her virgin blood when she first has sex with Riki in Wafter if she already got raped ??? And I can't believe I use virginity for reasoning ! So yeah she wasn't raped. |

ClannadIsLove said: Concerning KyoAni and the adaption, I simply heard that they didn't have time to do it soon because they already have a bunch of other shows planned. If it's "too complex," we have to remember that structurally, LB is virtually the same as Clannad. Six or so heroines, time looping, etc. etc. There is NOTHING complicated about the anime or butchering it. They could've done it easily. As for the unknown source that said VN players would have a surprise, I want a source for that. It gives me a bit of more interest in seeing the next season and I want to make sure I'm not being fucked with. Concerning Kud, even if she was raped only in the artificial world, I mean, they still feel everything that happened. As in, the world isn't like a dream we normally have. I imagine it to be just like I am right now as I sit here typing this. Everything seems real, but I'd wake up to find out it wasn't. But it has that LEVEL of realism which makes it possible for Kud to feel raped. Either way, we need to get to the bottom of this. Is UTW fucking with us, or was Kud really raped? I mean it would make sense since she's naked but still.. Plus, I thought that her mom was dead in the VN? I could've sworn she got shot and killed even in the good ending, or at least was dead. Clannad wasn't that hard to do. The time looping wasn't as big of a deal. And also, look at the ending of Clannad. It made NO SENSE in the anime. I've lost count of the number of anime viewers who've been confused by the ending. KyoAni, by no means had pulled it off. The lights wasn't as big of a deal to the story as the loops in LB. Imagine what Refrain would be like if there was zero implications to loops. It would be terrible. It'd seem so sudden and completely unbelievable. That was what KyoAni was stuck on. They thought that the only way to do it was with loops, but the last time they had a looping story, they had gotten completely destroyed by their fanbase (haruhi endless eight). Even with this adaptation, we don't know if people will get the loops at all. It may still seem sudden and unbelievable. That was always the problem. They felt that they'd ruin Refrain. Basically, KyoAni would've had better character arcs, but their Refrain would've been butchered. |

zakkun89 said: So I started playing KW and when start a new game,you play the Wafter part of the story which have ALOT of H scenes and almost no real plot .Then when it came to the happy end with the credit show,ending song and all.I thought this was over but then the game start again with what seem to be called After part. And After pretty much started again from the begining and repeat Wafter story but this time it's alot longer with more events and plot while skipping the H scenes. So are we even really sure if KW take place in the real world or is it normal for real world to repeat it self now ? lol Draakisback said: Ive read KW: what they've said is true. From what i gathered when i read it: WARNING LOTS OF SPOILERS FOR LB AND KW: While in the fake world kud goes back home etc and all the stuff that happens in LB is true, in the real world in the KW version at least, aka the extended kud route, they play it off as though kud did go back home, her mom was dead and she was abducted and raped repeatedly by the rebels in the cave. Honestly, i didnt like KW that much since all the main characters for LB were not there which kinda goes against the entire theme of friendship in LB. How the hell did Kud's mom die if she was still alive by the the end of KW !? Or if you're saying those stuffs happened b4 the Wafter part of the story then how did Kud still had her virgin blood when she first has sex with Riki in Wafter if she already got raped ??? And I can't believe I use virginity for reasoning ! So yeah she wasn't raped. My mind is full of fuck. I wish KW was translated. So much contradictory information has made me stop caring to understand what "actually" happened. |

So, how good was that? I'd go with damn-good level. At the end I even had wet eyes, and I don't think that I had that problem whil playing the visual novel. Argh, and this episode had one of those LB! OST pieces, which makes me freak out. Too bad I can't find the name of it now. I must admit as well, that I liked sky better in the anime, rather than in the game. Anime had it more starry, love it. Here, just to compare both: Smiling Kengo at the end was nice too. Next ep looks like puppet show + Rin's episode? Can't wait already! |

The person who keeps saying that Kyoto Animation would have done it better just needs to stop. Sure, KyoAni has excellent sound direction and better animation, but they do not know how to handle magical realism. Both Kanon and Clannad's endings are absolutely terrible because of this. I'm sure J.C. Staff understands the greater story behind the Little Busters and will effectively present Refrain (and Key is involved as well). Furthermore, the placement of Let's Return, Little Melody, and Song for Friends in this episode is excellent. That being said, the amount of surprise that the VN players are showing makes me worried that we'll have a "J.C. Staff original" ending. Can't forget about Yumekui Merry. |

Vladz0r said: UTW quote I would like you to remember that in Kudwafter, whenever Riki and Kud do the dirty, a certain darkness overwhelms their hearts and minds. Kud remembers how she was chained in a cave, standing in a pool of her own filth, getting ravaged again, and again, and again. Riki remembers that Kud’s first time wasn’t with him, but with several large, dark-skinned men and women. a.) This is complete bullshit. b.) It ignores the logic of the Secret of the World. Kud remembering all of this in Kud Wafter. Also, it wouldn't have physically happened because the world is imaginary in LB. c.) It was never implied nor intended as the purpose of Kud's route. Kud's route in the VN is more bare boned, and about Riki strengthening Kud by using the very useless broken gear that has been the manifestation of Kud's inferiority, Kud feeling LIKE a useless gear, in order to break free from her regrets, mainly (VN spoiler) the regret of not going to see her mom before she died in the real world d.) The guy who wrote this has been reading too many doujins, or hates Kud. Edit: If it's confirmed so be it. I still stick to my first two spoiler explanations, so even if it's brought up in Kud Wafter, it wouldn't matter. Ok, so I guess this is supposed to be the body of a girl who's been "standing in a pool of her own filth, ravaged again and again: And, if you're considering Kud getting supposedly raped canon to the story, then you'd have to consider this canon too: Kud's first time wasn't with Riki. HAH, nice try. What... where does that CG comes from? I haven't seen it in EX Version... Oh and I think that the girls in LB! knew everything, in fact they helped (no spoilers I think) to create everything, and Kyousuke and the guys were just trying to acomplish their wishes but the girls also wanted to help Riki and Rin just like Kud said in this episode, "I have to help Rin and Riki". For instance Kud's wish was not run away, that's why the chains broke down, not because of jsut magic or refrain thing, she could because she achive her wish, she knew that it wouldn't matter if she get trapped there, because the world would repeat it self, but this time she did the opposite she change her mind and the chains broke down. Just like the other girls, the accomplish their goals, their dreams, and they helped Riki and Rin at the same time. |

Could it be song for friends? Or Thanks both of you, and yeah, it's the second one I meant, 'Let's return'. Song for friends is beautiful, but definitely not freaky ;) While playing the game three tracks were giving me a real mindfuck, it was 'Let's return', 'Thin chronicle', and 'A world were nothing happened'. Mostly those were used in Refrain and Kurugaya arc, if I'm not wrong. All of those are driving me crazy, when I hear them, giving me goosebums, brrr. |

Please don't, although they changed the story for Yumekui Merry and had original characters. So at the very least we won't have some random characters added to make a new ending. |
