LOLOOLOLOL, Cheap bait after the pre-order going down to Muv-luv : TE road.

Not an entirely unwarranted comparison, but Little Busters! is doing better than Total Eclipse was at an equivalent point.

LB! has been up for 590 hourly updates on Stalker, and has averaged #73 in that time, with a max ranking of #165 and min of #6.
TE at the same point has averaged #94, with a max ranking of #316 and min of #3.

A good 21 spots higher in average rank, during a busier season, is probably significant, plus TE fell faster and harder. But again, it's a somewhat reasonable comparison to make (huge initial ranking followed by steady decline even weeks into the anime's broadcast), if perhaps premature in the specifics.

That aside, I don't understand how correcting the misunderstandings of a large number of viewers is "cheap bait". I'm appreciative that they corrected people who jumped to conclusions about the length.
I just being a dick.

But I think they want get fan response too. I wonder if there's no change in the plan if the sales not too hot.

Btw question for the fan, so the best moment/exciting moment not gonna appear in these 2 cour of episode or what? Thing only became good in "2nd season material" or something like that?

I want to watch this but bored as hell with first 2 episode, and I damn sure don't want to wait until 2nd season to see if its became "worth it".

This makes me incredibly happy. :)
Though I've only played the original little busters, I know about Saya and the additional Sasami and Katana routes and what happends in them (looking up the images and stories, lol) I'm happy that they will cover Little busters in its entirety ^_^.

I hope people that haven't played the VN will stick around long enough to see how amazing this series really is.

Just like many KEY works, the common route of LB is purely SoL moments and moves pretty slow, however its purpose it to let you get familiar with the characters and show you the relationships between them. The individual character arcs are of course more dramatic and serious but like you have heard the true highlight and what makes LB as a whole a very good is the revelation of the secret of the world and the events after it (just like After Story brings the heaviest drama in Clannad). Refrain is basically where everything gets tied together and makes the experience worth it and imo puts this title about Clannad.

"Good things come to those who wait" is a good way to go about when watching LB. If you want to keep watching I guess it will depend on how much you can enjoy the individual character arcs in this first season.

This is awesome! The more the better, especially for an anime like Little Busters. I'm dreading the flood of ignorant people commenting about how LB is garbage and how it shouldn't have anymore episodes. Little Busters is a magnificent gem and people shouldn't throw it off so early.

If you mean by "best moment" is like from Clannad After Story(Though you haven't watch Clannad/AS), then yes. But on this 2 cour series, we will see the drama of each heroine.

They obviously thought of it before the series since Saya, who only appears after Refrain, is in the original trailer.

I think you quoted a wrong person. :P


But then again, since they're talking about episodes, I don't think it'll be a Movie or OVA.

It applies to both, since the second person was agreeing with the first.

Could still be an OVA if talking in "episodes". But TV series is most likely.


Indeed but I'm also thinking that TV series is most likely than OVA.

They better not troll us; but obviously they won't because they can make a lot of money from Refrain.

Anyway this is GREAT news to hear. So far I love LB; loved Clannad as well so I have faith in Key that LB will be awesome! And of course more LB is even more awesome.

By that and the overall positive reactions in here I'd make the guess that it's just me thinking the pacing of Little Busters! is incredibely slow..
I have it already on hold because of that.. it's not that I dislike it but the pace feels so painfully slow. Some jokes and basically nothing else is happening (I spoilered myself btw and roughly know what's to come).. Okay, we're just a couple of episodes in but this is a rather common "problem" with an anime that has >20 episodes. :x
And now news about even more? Meh.

About the news saying there will be more means they will adapt the additional heroines and an another story that's somehow similar to Clannad's After Story. LB is really long if you ask me because of the number of heroines and the length of their stories.

I'm hoping they make a movie animated by Kyoto Animation. So far, 100% of their movies have been masterful. Plus, they're the undisputed kings of VN adaptations. Although JC staff are very close.

Can't tell if that's a VN or not, but it failed in terms of attracting people to it.

hmph... i am very sorry but with the current not so so episodes of the little busters, i will think of this announcement as a consolation for their failure to show an idea of story which majority of anime fans in japan, and the NON VN players/fans wanted to see in first 3 or 4 episodes.

anyway the story is officially into the routes now with komari being the first. my bench test is that it should reach the emotional intensity of clannad episode 9 since it is the episode (for me) where the anime, solidified its name as one of the greatest title in its time.

but well assuming, assuming they fail to reach the expectations of the many after 9 episodes, what will happen to little busters then? dropped then picked up later in the series by the fans or when the story finally showed up? of course VN players will stay faithful unless the worst happens.

^ Why?
Because many people do not think the same as you do.
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.

Considering Clannad got 47 episodes ( With extra eps for Kyou and Tomoyo ), why would anyone think LB wouldn't get close to the same amount?

Unfortunately I think there's almost zero chance of Spice and Wolf getting finished off. The novels have now finished and weren't popular enough and the 2nd season didn't sell well enough. The best time to do Spice and Wolf S3 would have been around when the last 2 novels coming out. Just buy the novels. They are slowly getting released in english
