They're not jumping at Haruka's already. It's revealed that episodes 7-10 is all about recruiting members. That means Kud will join <3? and we get to see Mio as well:)? Most likely. Well, it's on this thread. :) |

The Ctrl key is universal accept for some very rare games that have shift as skip instead or they do it by holding down enter, or space bar 99% of the VNs you encounter will have Ctrl as skip |

Keep in mind though, usually playing a VN after watching the anime is pretty boring. Only do it if you really want to find out what the original material is like, because the main plot elements are still in the anime. I mean, for me, finishing Clannad was pretty damned hard since I watched the anime first. And Clannad's routes are nowhere near as easy to follow as LB's... |

(which wasn't that important lol) |

blasterion said: But we get Kappei route and Komura route! (which wasn't that important lol) That part is I'm going to disagree for. Especially Kappei's issue. Also, there's already a scene for Koumura's path but it isn't noticeable in the anime for those who watched the anime first. |

| very touching episode, i personally think they did a good job with this arc didn't make me cry (as I was expecting to), but I had my share of feels, and the emotions were still very powerful |

The only reason Kappei route was there is to ease the guilt trip from Kyou route for shafting Ryou I was pretty annoyed when I discovered that Ryou path is actually a bad end. Come on, where's my damn orb of light?! And don't even mention how many times I subconsciously went into Nagisa route. I think the anime strongly influenced my decisions. I couldn't bear not helping Nagisa, and I wanted everyone to be together (like in the anime), which you can't have in the VN. Actually, that's probably why I liked LB. Because everyone's together and (for the most part) happy! |
SleepingEntity said: I was pretty annoyed when I discovered that Ryou path is actually a bad end. Come on, where's my damn orb of light?! Huh? The reason is obvious why it is technically a bad end and it's explained later on Kyou's path. blasterion said: The only reason Kappei route was there is to ease the guilt trip from Kyou route for shafting Ryou But Kyou arc doesn't exist in the TV series so basically no orb of happiness from Kyou happen. |

| A Beautiful Episode. I Just Couldn't Hold Back My Tears. |
 |
| A touching episode, the best one yet I liked how everyone helped Komari, especially Riki and Rin as an anime-only viewer, I didn't feel that this was rushed or anything, maybe a bit forced, but very good and emotional good job J.C Stuff anyway, in the end I think I will like Little Busters more than Clannad, I do reeeeally like the friendship theme. |
| Yay for the end of the Komari arc. So glad they rushed it, she is by far the most annoying character I've seen in a series for a loooooong time. She should join her onii-chan. |

antonnn said: Then perhaps you should also consider joining Komari? As you sound even more annoying than her.Yay for the end of the Komari arc. So glad they rushed it, she is by far the most annoying character I've seen in a series for a loooooong time. She should join her onii-chan. |
| 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. |

blasterion said: but OVA! I know but that's a different case if we're talking about including Kappei in the TV series. Still, his path is important and it's not just for easing the guilt trip. |

| I'm an anime-only viewer; I usually don't read source material. As for this episode, I didn't like Komari's story. I had a few feels, but it mostly felt like forced drama. They could have been more subtle with the theme instead of Riki saying it outright (We have to move past the sad things in live eventually). I'm glad it's over and am interested in this Kanata girl now that everyone's badmouthing her. |
JavierR said: You guys are making this kanata out to be a super bitch. When the anime gets into Haruka's route, you will start to see why she is the most hated character in LB. Believe me, so many times where I just wanted to throw her off a cliff. |
shirayuki75 said: They could have been more subtle with the theme instead of Riki saying it outright (We have to move past the sad things in live eventually). Unfortunately, I think they're going to do it less subtle and still concerning much about the theme. Well, as I have knowledge about the source, the rest of the heroines' story are more subtle with the theme than Komari's so they should stay being more subtle like you said. |

| Gotta say though, Riki is a hero. |

| Yeaaa.. the blood thing was ghetto. And did look like it didnt actually splatter on her but a glass layer in front of her. |

| Noticing a trend Anime watchers: Fake, forced drama,Cheesy Veteran Reader: Decent and getting most of the point across Me: WTF JC NO KURUGAYA NOSEBLEEDING OVER KOMARI DRESSED IN ONLY A SHIRT FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU oh yeah and it was good in getting the point across |

| Emotional episode.... But at the same time it was too cheesy.... 3.5/5 |

OminousFlare said: This post would be a perfect letter you could send directly overseas to the production team in Japan (doubt they'll give a crap... or will they?), rather just let a japanese fan read it so they can put this into light on their side and continue on the legacy of your post |
|
| Is it just me? or the drama didn't really get to me... and that blood... wtf J.C Staff? Not-bad ep though :D |
OminousFlare said: What happened was that people from Key decided that both making situation more dire or other mentioned things are simply not needed.GAAAAAHHHH! Someone tear my eyes out now! NOW NOW NOW! God, that was so bloody awful! WTF happened, J.C. Team? I know it's popular belief that studio is responsible for writing this thing... except that they are not. So blaiming J.C.Staff for this makes no sense at all (complaining about visuals or sound makes). BUT I agree that it felt rushed but that's my overal feeling with Komari route - for some reason they decided to start with it, I go with theory that it was to show that there is drama in the story. It ended up quite nicelly with this topic of friendship... cheesy but that's Key's speciality next to forced drama (note: I don't say it's bad thing). |
| The ending was kind of anti climactic, like you said.. she went from broken to super giddy in like 2 seconds |
| TL & founder of Refrain Subs. Website: Check us out for weekly releases! |
| Hmmmm... HMMMM... This is just a wild guess, but I think blasterion has something for Kurugaya's reaction towards shirt-only Komari. Again, I THINK. On a more serious note, I don't really think Komari's route is adapted as bad as some make it out to be. I mean sure, it happens way faster than the VN, but to be honest, Komari's route was never really the route to hit home hardest anyway. Even in the VN her route isn't rated particularly well, because the main premise is a little shaky. I don't really blame JC for slightly rushing Komari's route. Better that than rush the others. |
| Anime-only viewer here too~ Keep the spoiler tags pls :D |
| Kengo at the grave shouldnt even be a spoiler. In the visual novel riki saw someone that looked like kengo at the cemetary. It doesnt tell you any more than that. For anime only viewers, just note that umbrella in the background was kengo. It's something nice to look back at later |

| "Running away doesn't solve anything." Remember those words, Riki. Remember them well... from a VN fanboy of Little Busters. Well a bit sad the graveyard scene wasn't what I expected to be, but seeing JC Staff do a decent job for this show, I then suspect they will come back to it later on in the show. In a plus note, where the other Little Busters do what they can to help Riki through the night was really well done, it was indeed beautiful and touchy to see it. Friendship is indeed a blessing. Either way it was a great episode, finally closed Komari's route and Haruka Saigusa's route is the next. That one IMO is one of the better routes in the VN. Also I wish they would just have the opening at the start of the episode rather than wreck the whole mood by playing it like 5min later in the episode when something comes up as a tiny cliffhanger... |

| A slow paced source mixed with a fast paced adaption usually comes out to something that feels just right to those who have only watched the anime. Even though I can still have a firm grasp on how I feel between the source and the adaption, I still try to keep my mindset on how this does on its own as an anime rather than focusing too hard on how it compares to the VN. The end result: I end up enjoying the anime for how it is. I won't regard it as anything superior to the source, but I won't call it a bad adaption either. I do agree that the blood moment was really off and should have been fixed, but minor details like these aren't enough to make me feel more than a little discontent. I will, however, acknowledge that those who hate this adaption to have enough justification in doing so. If you're the type who wants the experience of Komari's arc in the VN to be more closely duplicated in the anime, then I can see how this wouldn't sit will with you as it is notably worse than in the VN. But it would just simply be a far better experience to watch the anime as it is, I was able to accept the majority of the faults and I had a very satisfying time watching it. I still value this anime as my favorite this season and something that definitely beats out the rest of the competition. |

I still value this anime as my favorite this season and something that definitely beats out the rest of the competition. The thing is, if people want the exact VN events, nothing more, nothing less, then I mean, they can just go read the VN again? We shouldn't expect them to put absolutely anything and everything. This is a different medium of entertainment after all. Personally, I'm interested in seeing how things will be slightly changed because this is in anime format. And guys, lets be honest. This ISN'T the complete trainwreck some are making it out to be. Are we missing some nice dialogue? Yes. Some great scenes? Of course. A few priceless comedy moments? Hell yes we are. But we need to stop looking at this adaptation as the exact VN animated. It's not, and it was never going to be. The point of the anime is to get across the meat of Little Busters, its core story. Bits are going to be lost along the way. My main point? We already have the VN in all its glory. Show us what you can do with it, JC. |
| Overall a very enjoyable episode. I won't deny that I felt a few bumps here and there but it wasn't anything major. Though they may skipped a few important things which may have intensified the mood, it remains a very satisfying end to komari's arc. However, like last episode with lamplight, I prepared myself for the intense moments of the ost incommunicable message but it never came. These moments remain to be the most disappointing for some reason. :P My heart was prepared, y u no whack it as hard as you could JC? >.< (Just wondering is this just me or does others feel the same way?) |
