Nope. It will be all about Komari since we're now at Komari's arc.

This was a great episode, in my opinion. Kud was absolutely adorable~

I'm glad to see that we are finally getting into some drama. I've only played part of the common route, so I can't wait to see what's in store for my adorable Komari. I'll make sure I have tissues by my side, because I know I'll cry. I mean, I even teared up at the scene on the roof with the picture book. But I'm kind of a crybaby anyway (my god, I've cried wile looking at butterflies before) so it might not be the same for everyone else.

What "Adolescence" do you have?
Do you remember "Childhood"?
The irreplaceable one existed there.

I re-watched this episode but with subs and these are my thoughts.

- Koujiro's introduction isn't funny at all unlike in the Visual Novel.
- Kinda felt rushed.

As flack said, it seems those are exactly my thoughts.

I hate that freaking soundtrack so much. I know it's the original VN soundtrack, but it's unfitting as hell and it sounds like... Yeah, it sounds like videogame music. And it shouldn't, because this is not a VN anymore, it's an anime series.

Anyways, this episode was ok. Kud is cute.

After watching 4 episodes this far, I guess I could grasp the actual potential of this adaptation for now.

The actual problem for LB! (besides of the obvious budget related problem) is inconsistency. This is shown with great differences between the current even-numbered episodes (which I liked very much) and the odd numbered (which is very mediocre). I guess the director's lack of experience played a big role here. In contrary, the scriptwriter for the anime series clearly shown that she known what she was doing. Her alterations, despite of the unavoidable cuts, so far are okay and some are even better than the sometimes-too-mundane original script.

As for those who didn't like the moe, comedy and overall tone of LB!, I believe it comes back to the nature of Key's story. Naive characters, simple yet dramatized problems, silly comedies, extremely sweet girls, those are kind of similar to super duper sweet rainbow colored caramel cheesecake which is planted with emotional bomb.

While the bombs are sometimes forced, (again) naive, or relying to magical plot devices, it usually uses a very powerful force : raw, simple emotions in extreme force. It will be meh if it doesn't hit the target, but it will be very effective when it works.

So, the first parameter will be Komari's route, which is a kind of middle point between average to bad routes and the awesome routes in LB! I hope the director could pull the drama right, since Key's works are kind of relying to execution to be able to deliver...

I have not played any of the Key's VNs, but I agree with you very much that LB! has all the characteristics of Key's style. The exaggerated super-moe characters, the offbeat and random humor (and antics), the disjointed appearance of the story... I have a feeling that many who expressed their intention to drop it are not warm to this kind of style.

For me, the super-moe girls are always welcome -- they are always cute, fun, healing (and I think the seiyuu's in LB! have all done pretty good job in achieving that). The humor is hit-and-miss but to me the hit-rate is better than, say, Angel Beats, and I have not got tired of it, at least not yet. As for the animation, it is really not at the very best level, but it is not bad at all -- it is also pretty consistent so far. I heard that events in this episode is rushed, yet the pacing looks fine to me, and the whole episode ends pretty soon for me, a sign that I am enjoying it so I didn't realize the passing time.

Yet I have a question: Isn't Rin supposed to be fearful of contacting other people? How come it is shown that she is giving massages to old people by herself? I do not see her friends accompanying her in the room. Perhaps Rin's problem is not really that serious? Is this scene also in the VN?

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

You know how Clannad and Air had those mysterious diseases and all Keys work having supernatural elements. Like here in LB, it has the "secret of the world"

I thought there was a possibility that the gramps was actually her brother, but he has a disease that accelerated his growth or something like that.

I'm enjoying the Komari arc, kinda takes baseball and puts it on the backseat right now. Introduced Kud which is cool but no real indication of her joining the Little busters yet.

Komari is awesome so I hope they drag her arc for a bit. I have a feeling whoever the guy who wrote the book passed away and Komari is repressing the memory.

Did you have a paying job or just helping out your community?

I actually worked at a soup kitchen at one of the Church's near our area for about 2 months. That was, however, just a "community assisting" school project.

It was made better than in the game, imo :D
Kudo~! She looks cuter than in vn so far, kinda like Fuuko (though I love her better of course). Kyan Ai supikku japanizu? >w<
Still no Mio, I guess we have to wait for the end of Komari-Max's route. Not that I need her. Well, maybe with new voice she will get more likeable.
I wonder about next episode though. Will it only consider shooting stars thing?

Anyway, I wasn't big fan of Komari's route,

Who's route is going to be next? I think Haruka's. Mio still isn't here, Kurugaya and Rin are obviously out of the question, and I think that they are keeping Kud for later, because she was the no.1 most famous heroine, I guess ;) I wonder about Kanata's and Sasami's routes. Kanata can't be before Haruka, but I have no idea what about Sasami, since I haven't play EX version.

Me it was a mixture of stuff. I was teary a little but there was this deep gloom feeling and it came back with the OST and that old man.

I have a deep glooming feeling like a river of crying about to let loose as soon as I find out all about the brother. The picture book IMO shows the brother being happy to have his sister and the mother giving one to Komari. Is that right?

Anyway I saw VN spoiler and Komari in the past with her brother when he was around. I have to say if that last part is what I think it is, RAGE will ensue.

that being said in the spoiler I am going to think of something that is punching bag but not expensive to use. Else I have a feeling more holes will be around my room or basement.

They will adapt Sasami's path but we still don't know where they will put it or I think they will adapt it as OVA or Movie or whatsoever. As for Kanata's, I haven't heard any news about adapting her path.

I don't know why are you wondering the obvious. I'll give you a hint so that you won't be spoiled.

The old geezer's name is already given and you saw a name written on Komari's picture book(That may serve as a clue that the name written there is Komari's brother) and the name is totally different from the old geezer. If you're thinking he lied his name, I don't think there's a point of lying his name in the first place. Besides, he even don't know Riki and Komari are acquaintances until Riki warned him about shouting Komari so the thought of lying his name is invalid.

That's why I said "at first". I also partially blame my media player. I didn't remember the name of her brother when it was first mentioned and after the geezer said his name, and Riki thought of that picture book, the name only flashed on the screen for like a split second. Its still doing that. The name only shows if I pause the video.

So Sasami's route is 100%? I'm happy then, I really liked her. They put Saya in the trailer so I'm counting for her route as well... If they will make their arcs, can't see why avoid Kanata, but we still have time to see what J.C.STAFF is going to do with this.
So far I'm not disappointed with this series, at least ;)

I guess because there's no point of adapting Kanata's path. Kanata's path is somewhat a continuation of Haruka's path while Sasami's path is a plot material just like Kurugaya's but you'll gain more knowledge about the secret of the world.

Well, it's JC Staff after all so I think they will do anything for money(?).

Well, I have no concrete answer to this (nor how Rin was able to be on stage), but I'm guessing she was okay because of the cat in the old lady's lap. (And Komari was on-stage with Rin, and she didn't have to interact with anyone up there anyway)

I have two problems with little busters so far and that's one the pace. The pacing is way too fast contrary to beliefs they are leaving out little important details and stuff such Komari drawing children's books. This then leads unto the second problem which I like to call " unnatural greetings " this is basically when things seemed forced. For example kuragaya suddenly join little busters or old homes ( but LB tagging along did not). This forcefullness removes you from the enjoyment sadly but it's understandable.

There are a few other concerns such as Rin being too open and not enough on her, Kuragaya being more a yuri than a big sister type, the thinning of some character models and most frustratingly only 3 mins screen time of Kud !
If they don't male a kud wafter ova I'm seriously going to rage !

Apart from that it's shaping my concerns might be a slight over action but so far I give this episode a 7.8

This show be so meh. The girls are so insufferably retarded, look at this chart:

Now, obviously the best place to be would be that center line, however many of the girls in Little Busters, the worst of which I've depicted with the green line, goes way past this optimum so that she is not that cute at all, and is in fact rather annoying. I was debating whether to include a scale past 10, to depict minus cuteness, as to be so irritating that they have no positives at all, thankfully all the girls manage to avoid it for now.

I might also add that setting 5/10 on the retarded scale (whatever that may be) to be the optimum was arbitrary, if you believe that the optimum lies elsewhere, please tell me, so long as you've backed it up with some mathematical equations.

Her reason for not having a roomate WAS that she'd be unable to resit the temptation of raping cute little girls.

And lol, people be so rad with their completely scientific and unbiased mathematical equations and charts. Please go on, it's amusing.

There is definitely no relation between cuteness and retarded. Think of it this way:
Retarded people are not cute. Annie is retarded. Does that really make Annie not cute? The answer may be yes or no depending on what the person defines as cute and to the degree of mental agility( I dont like using the word retarded) they would enjoy. It also depends on what a person sees or categorise as mentally slow. Every person sees people very differently and that's the reason everyone is different. Cuteness is not the dependent variable of mental agility.

That's not Kamikita Takuya, the one who is supposed to have written the book. That's Kamikita Kojirou, who if you judge by his age you should realize his actual relationship to her. The importance here is not properly conveyed because it was rushed. Basically, she "forgot" a brother which her mother claims does not exist. Now Riki found an old man who's related to her and who she also doesn't recognizes. Tie it up with the picture book about forgetting their past and.... seriously, it's not that hard.

I know it's rushed but it's not like we haven't seen this particular plot point before.

I have a hunch the old guy could be Komari's dad or uncle or grandfather or other male blood relative. And the Takuya name on the picture book could be related to him too. Next episode please!!!

I have not read the VN but I do not have any problem with Kuragaya joining Little Busters - in ep.3 she was shown to be very interested in Riki and so when she knew Riki is actively involved in Little Busters and seeing what kind of people in it, she just wants to get in to have the same fun as Riki. As for the old homes, since one thing leads to another and the whole Little Busters is summoned - as part of Little Busters I would expect her to join too. I am sure to her it is just part of fun and friendship experience that she craves.

What I have problem though is why does RIN suddenly become so easygoing regarding human contact when she is in the old home. Isn't she very fearful of human contact? But in the anime she is shown to be doing massage to an old person whom she met for the first time, without any of her friend accompanying her in the room. Does it mean Rin's problem is not as bad as it first appears? Is it portrayed the same in the VN?

That's why I said "at first". I also partially blame my media player. I didn't remember the name of her brother when it was first mentioned and after the geezer said his name, and Riki thought of that picture book, the name only flashed on the screen for like a split second. Its still doing that. The name only shows if I pause the video.

The name on the picture book lasted long enough for Japanese people or people with advanced Japanese language level to read it I think. At least I do not need to pause my player to read and remember the name. I would agree that in anime sometimes information is flashed too quickly for audience to read but it is not the case in the case of Komari's picture book.

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Not sure if someone has mentioned this but I think its because the old lady has an interest in cats so since both of them have the same interests, Rin was able to feel more comfortable.

I'm also pretty sure that Rin is only shy towards people her age she's expected to make friends with. She's shown to be perfectly capable of talking to people provided she has help and knows what to do (e.g. recruiting people in the girl's dorms). Talking to the elderly would not really be difficult for her I think.

Rins supposed to mature with each play through of the VN, and within in the story she is supposed to progress. But it's true that Rin connects to people who likes cats, you should so it with the dorm head and if we're lucky sasami. But there missing important about Rin early on.

But I still have a problem with Kuragya joining as its just too sudden theres no build up.
