waaah, Kurugaya door scene, Kurugaya romance, Rin VS Masato, Komari staring over the town, this season is gonna be so mad.

And when Riki and Rin have those lights around them, there are 8 D: that made me choke of sadness T.T and, and, the final scene with Riki waking up D: i almost cried T.T

Epic new OP too :D and I love how mature Riki looks now compared to the first episode ^_^ waaahh, too excited

Wow...that was amazing.

I already had high hopes for Refrain, but this has pushed them even higher. I won't start unnecessarily hyping it to all hell (lest it end up falling flat and the fallout become even worse because of it), but I think this will definitely stand along After Story as one of the greats, assuming the PV's quality is kept throughout the entire series.

Great choice of music.
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.

Hearing "Haruka Kanata" at the beginning made me a little depressed as well. But the vocal version of Boys don't cry put a smile of my face right away. /hype

I noticed. It's obvious they would step it up to some degree. I'm glad it's such a vast improvement over the beginning of the anime, at least.

Should be great.

Indeed the animation in the PV seems to be on a higher level than the first season in general, but then this is PV... I don't want to set expectation too high only to feel disappointed later you know.. ;-)

Hmm, I wonder...
Well, I always liked Kurugaya personality-wise, though her route serves more for the Secret of the World than anything else, plot-wise.
Kyousuke x Riki friendship is the OTP anyway.

And I want to steal Tasuku's gif badly, but I'll refrain from doing that...

Well, my expectations will be quite high, and not because the ~Refrain~ sign reminds me of ~After Story~ or because ~After Story~ was a Key thing as well, not at all. ;)

Okay, I had high expectations before, but I think I may need to ramp them up another notch. This fall will be good.

My expectations are as high as ever. I feel like they can really pull off something great. I mean, some of the scenes they preview belong at around episodes 20-26 of the 2nd season, which shows how well they're planning ahead. I hope we're in for a treat, because I found Refrain in the VN to be much better than After Story, though I loved it as well.
Still hopeful we'll get some kind of consistently good animation in the second season. With how well the first season sold, and Warner and JC Staff not working on too much besides LB for the fall season, I think (hope) they'll do a good job.

Well, I cannot really rely much on VNs, although they do not seem far away from the animation.

Doubt it. It doesn't make sense chronologically.

But if they are basing these off the visual novels then she should be included but if it based solely off the manga then I can understand that.

I highly doubt that since Saya's route heavily involves the Secrets of the World. Anime-only watchers would be very confused since the Secrets of the World is needed to understand what happens in her route.

On a side note, I personally think that the Refrain season should end with Refrain. The EX route should get their own sesaon(?) since ending with those routes in the Refrain season would ruin the closure of Refrain.

Saya's route isn't really based by LB's chronological order.

You mean the 4-Koma? 4-Koma is just only a gag manga series and nothing really serious about its plot.

Plus, Saya appearing in LB Refrain will contradict the main plot of Little Busters.

Well, obviously.

Anyway, the trailer speaks itself that no EX routes are included on the 2nd season.

Partially because AS has a pretty anticlimatic storybranch design, but yeah I think generally people would say Refrain is better as a whole.

I'm pretty sure October 5th is just the assumed date, based on s1 aired last year. and Considering that TokyoMX is re-airing Little Busters season 1, it will most likely take over the same timeslot.
