| Kurugaya's route has the same writer as Komari's route. Maeda only wrote the common coute, Rin1,2 and Refrain o_o |
| Though, I guess Rin's feelings towards Riki will be shown more/stronger then the VN, in her route. |
| oh my best girl. wuttodo bout these feels. |
    |
| ... I never realized Jun Maeda wrote the common route, actually. I was underestimating how much of Little Busters was actually written by Jun Maeda for the longest time, then. He wrote about 50% of the original Little Busters, then, when I thought he only wrote wrote about 18%, just Rin and Refrain. No wonder it was so good and relevant to Refrain XD. Welp, GG to me. |

| Ah, alright I get it :P thanks. atm, I wonder what will happen in Episode 3, since everyone forgets what happaned (Fireworks,Pancake party?, etc) will Rin also forget? I just feel for riki atm, he has to live with this kak thats happening to him :/ |
| AW shit JC getting all my hopes up for the best girl! i knew it would be to good to be true but what is the Kurugaya route with out "Ai!?" can't wait to see how they pull this end off, VN's ending for this was one of my main drives to see the true ending for it!. little sad we didn't see love love hunters still a chance though right? :( |
 |
| Loli-loli hunters!! Wow, holy shit. J.C has really stepped up their game, these two episodes are light years better than the entirety of season 1. I actually want to pretend that the abomination called season 1 never even existed. The fact that I've never played the VN will make this season so much more enjoyable to watch. Can't wait for next week! |
| Go ***k yourself. Polite as usual, lightXTC |
| wow way too many spoilers in this thread... Since I was holding off on reading until after I watched I didn't know anything about the "routes" boy do I know now. It's not going to stop me from watching, but it may have lessened the surprise. |
 |
| Phew. Episode 02 is finally out. Ejoy ^^ Oh, boy. I knew that editing will be a lot of work, but it proved to be even more time-consuming than I ever imagined. Still, it's kinda satisfying ^^ |

| Thing begin to move now with Operation Loli-Loli Hunters in effect. And it look like no romance for Kurugaya. Journal 20 July day 2. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Loli-loli Hunters! haha XD This series always has its comic side. For me it was something exciting part of the fireworks, and Kurugaya Riki was a scene very good. Poor Rin :(, she's my favorite and I felt sad for her. But obviously Riki this in love with Rin (Or so it seems). That was a mysterious end. :/ |
 |
| I don't know what they are trying to do with this romance, it feels forced as hell. I also really disliked the moment when the group is reunited like that cause it's just a succession of unfunny jokes that are quite embarrassing. I'm watching this show just to see where this Refrain hype is coming from. |

They live in the same dorm. They're congregating like they always have, not re-uniting randomly. |

| 2 episodes and this show was keep going better and better. J.C. Staff we can hope refrain will be as good as clannad right ? Anyway poor Rin... |
| Kurugaya was amazing the entire episode. Just like Riki said, she never looked so attractive (for an anime character) than this episode. Poor Rin though, it's clear she's discovering feelings for Riki, just too late to express them. Tears for days. But the real question is why is the world repeating. Is it Riki's inherent desire for nothing to change? He has been saying that he wants this to last forever, and with Kyosuke leaving soon, maybe like Haruhi he has the ability to bend things to his will. It would explain a lot. Or perhaps someone else (Kyosuke) is bending the world. Gah too many theories, what is going on! |

Besides, Ok chapter. I felt it a bit rushed, but at least they´re adapting well the main events of Kurugaya´s arc. I feel a bit sorry for Rin... |

| Damn, why Kurugaya is so beautiful. But I already know a Riki x Kurugaya will never happen. Anyway, loop things? Ohoh, this looks interesting and sad too .. This is just my speculation, but I'll put it in the spoiler tag for safety. |

Something that influences too is if You´re a stone face or no. Anyways, remember that You have a "Drop" button if You can´t tolerate this adaptation. |

| This was an amazing episode! im amazed at how much better this is than season 1 so far The comedy doesn't feel as forced and the drama is being handled better, and the ost's are being used brilliantly :) GREAT EPISODE! :) |
| so, Kyousuke is pretty much forcing these romantic events on Riki, Riki got embarrassed because, the idea has been put in his head and he's probably the type to get embarrassed about romance. Riki's probably been convinced he likes Kurugaya, even though he doesn't, and Kurugaya's feelings are being played with because of this~ that's what I'm getting at least, and Kurugaya's Route is just some big event to make Rin and Riki realise their feelings for each other~ |

| Gotta love how Komari falls on top of Kud and then gets up running leaving her behind. |

The next episode shouldn't have Rin at all, though. |
ZtarWarrior said: Ehh....mixed feelings about this episode. I figured that they were going to go through with the romance for Kurugaya's route, but it just doesn't seem right. Focus was only put on Kurugaya one episode ago, and now one episode later Riki is developing feelings for her? It was a mistake to stick true to the original with the romance, especially with only 3 episodes to develop it into something. It just ends up feeling forced and unrealistic. They could have easily gone with the friendship route once again, and this would have worked out perfectly fine. On the other hand, I still enjoyed the comedy bits a great deal and I'm glad to see some more quality time between the bros. Still liking how the season is going so far, just having a bit of issues with this route. Agreed with You. I would have preferred the same and |

| Well, as forced as it is, Kyou and Tomoyo's routes in Clannad only got 1 OVA, but I didn't hear people complain too much about those. |
| I can't blame riki for falling in love with Kurugaya so fast. Anyone would fall for her easily XD |
| It looks more like Kyousuke pushed Riki into thinking he has fallen for Kurugaya. Since the person Riki trusts most with his life is Kyousuke and he doesn't want to waste the effort his friends put into setting them up together. |

| Aw, they left out the part in Little Love Love Hunters where they practice approaches by getting the other LB members. Aside from that, I really enjoyed this episode. The comedy bits still get a laugh out of me. Wonder if next episode concludes Kurugaya's route. I'm really looking forward to Rin/Refrain. |
