| I don't know about everyone else, but this episode was really good. Love it!! Though the English is bad as always, lol. Anyway, why is Masato calling Ku-ko, not Kud-o, or I heard it wrong, been wondering for a while. |

| Quite good, but slow episode. Kudo sad because of some annoying whores (those at least are kinda like real people, damn, I hate those...) and then is saved thanks to NAKAMA PAWAAA~! Not bad though not really that good as well. I just like girls who are able to take care of problems like that by themselves. The highlight of the episode was intro, but that Also, I'm quite surprised, that it's Rin episode next week. Thought that they are going all the way for Kudo's ending. thesnnitro said: The wtf moment of the episode: Dat Yuiko <3 Ah, and Piano version of Exotic Toybox was so cute! |

| @Kitsu-nee I believe it's Tevua not Russia, and it wouldn't be hard to show in the anime because it didn't take an extremely long time in the visual novel. It's not hard to show time lapses in anime lol. |
shcboomer said: KingCez said: dat a filler ep next? fak Sort of, but it really is important, just a common route break to transition routes I would think. Still, they're important because on the second half(The lovesickness issue), they're going to hint the romance on this series. |

It's not hard to show time lapses in anime lol. Whoa, really? I really start to forget important things now, I was convinced that it was taking place in Russia, thanks for correcting me. You're right about lapses, but it will look a bit silly imo. In the visual novel it didn't matter that much, but when I imagine anime version of it |

Kitsu-nee said: Not sure if it could be any more realistic than that, LOL. (joking) |
| How odd. Being an anime only viewer, I expected myself to dislike Kud's arc; yet, it is by far the best beginning to all of the arcs in this series. |

| Wafuuu! I really liked Kud's route in the VN, so I'm happy that it's her turn in the anime!~ I relate to Kud by being smart, yet unable to do well under pressure or timed tests.. my SAT scores.. ahaha @__@. Looking forward to more of Kud's route! <3 |
| Wow what a great start for Kud's arc. I was glad everyone took the remedial test with Kud " ) Can't wait to see more next week. |
| Surprisingly a good episode! |

| dont worry kud! nasa hires specialists and not generalists! |
    |
| Too cute! <3 And the end... d'awww. |
| I'm glad Haruka and Kanata can get along, was kinda expecting Kanata to join the Little Busters, but maybe that will be later. Mission Start, Kud Arc! |
 |
| i looked at the preview for the next episode and it seems that episode 19 is the only episode that will cover her route. it makes me mad because kud is my favorite character and her route is the one i've been looking forward to all this time, but they're leaving out the second half of it. the anime isn't very good overall, so i can't say i'm surprised. |

Actually the Japanese preview of the next episodes hints it will continue after one common route episode and will be at least 2 episodes long and probably have another one after. Kud's route should end around episode 23-24. Next few episodes: *MAJOR SPOILERS* |

| I hope the piano version for Exotic Toybox releases in some re-released soundtrack album. Beautiful piece. Glad to see the twins are getting along as well. I was starting to think that Kanata will revert back to her bitch state. Poor Kud, being teased by assholes who don't understand foreigners at all. All her effort in studying where she wanted to be...wasted. Luckily, Little Busters are there for her. |
| Someone should tell those brainless b*tches that not all foreigners speak english. I bet Kud knew that. Great episode with great animation for the 2nd episode in a row. I wonder if they'll put more effort from now on, instead of simply letting it be because it will sell by itself because it's a Key title. |
| Rating: 2.7/5 It was Ok. As I said yesterday, I didn´t expect much from this episode, but I must admit that it had some sweet parts. Is very nice having that kind of friends that are with You through thick and thin... Kud is lucky. This was only a little introduction for Kud´s arc, and nothing more. But, why they will make a Sasami´s chapter and skip the beginning of Kud´s arc? I think It will be only an unnecesary filler chapter... |

TimeToRepent said: Oh... I lol'd at the way you said this XD Um, there's Rin's route the first time you play it, that's Rin 1, and it's similar to some of the other routes. I actually kind of forget the Rin 1 ending. It wasn't very impactful, and I think they're merging/replacing it with Rin 2 because it's tedious to have both routes individually animated. When you replay Rin's route after you beat all of the other heroine routes, the ending turns out far different and leads to something of a test for Riki as the MANtagonist, and the route becomes the precursor to the Refrain route. |

| I'm wondering if they're even going to animate Kurugaya's route as part of the main Little Busters series, or leave it to OVAs like they did with Tomoyo's in Clannad. If it means Rin's route and Refrain will be better adapted, I'm all for leaving them out, even though Kurugaya's route serves to illustrate some aspects of the Secret of the World (the first time you play through it anyway) and it'd be less meaningful to watch as an OVA after the series airs. I loved Kurugaya for her character displayed in the common route more than anything, but she hasn't quite been the equivalent of Tomoyo in Clannad in the anime. I just want more Kurugaya though =p She was too good in the common route. This will probably never get animated. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOHXjcRrb3s Mmm the Love-Love Hunters in Kurugaya's route was too good to not be animated though. They might do it. |

Yukariki said: Arguably one of the best Little Busters episodes in terms of animation quality and storyboarding. I believe it's either post-Index Movie JC Staff or JC Staff is a bunch of lolicons. I'm going for the latter~ I think the end of Haruka's arc takes that one. The sound director just fucking sucks and needs to be shot. Honestly right now I think he/she is the #1 reason this anime pisses me off. Music is the MOST important aspect of anything: Movie, TV show, game, etc. etc. Sound makes or breaks it, and here it's nearly breaking it. |

 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| Just watched the episode. The music placement wasn't nearly as bad as some people were saying. I really liked this episode. The series is finally becoming good with the animation and the plot is picking up, so this is very enjoyable. The only real gripe I had is that, as small and stupid as it is, the two or three seconds when Riki sees Kud running out of the hallway it shows him and the camera is tilted at an angle and spinning. It's a common thing film directors do to show that something is off or wrong in movies, and there was simply no reason for them to do it here. The entire time I saw that I thought of that little technique and how it didn't apply ( As for the next episode, in the VN is it possible to get the guy to date Sasasasasasa? I completed the entire thing but never succeeded. Kengo always kicked the guy's ass whenever I tried, and eventually I moved on. I'd like to know.. to have some closure for what ever happened to that poor soul. Also, Kud cried in this episode. Ruined it for me seeing someone sweet like her cry. EDIT: Forgot to ask. What was that beginning scene? |

omfgugay said: The bullies in this school really needs to really calm down with all this isolation and drink some water. Hating on Kud's skills on the culture that she is living in right now, just because she's a foreigner... Well, as Kud said, they didn't really intend to bully her. They were just being really thoughtless towards someone who seemed exotic to them. There was no real malice behind their behavior. I enjoy the fact that the other Little Busters are always there for each other when they're in trouble. Usually, the protagonist's doing all of the work while his/her friends remain clueless - everybody's pitching in to do their bit. |

| Surprised to find myself actually learning the names of Bruce DeWitt and Hugh Everett III in this anime. It is not common to see Haruka interacting with Mio, and I think that scene is pretty funny. |
| 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. |

Khalan3 said: If a student always completes tests as top of they're class doesn't have mean that he/she is the smartest student in the class.Smart in the subjects that interest her weak in the subjects that don't interest her there where actually several scientists that contributed a lot to science that had the same problem. Incredibly knowledgeable in the subjects the research but outside of those subjects there knowledge was limited don't know if it's true but i heard Einstein was like that as well. I think Kud has dyslexia or something similar? Since those people usually look a lot dumber than they are; and get worse grades than they should, and suck at languages. People like Einstein had it as well. Also, why didn't her grandfather didn't learn her English as a kid when they where travelling the world; would have been a lot more useful then Japanese and Russian. And why did Masato did not teach her MUSCLE! There are a lot of things that influence test scores most common is how much a student studies and how fast they learn it depends on personal circumstances and how much the student actually cares. I mean some students are happy with marks just good enough to pass and wont put in extra effort to get incredible grades. Conditions like dyslexia or autism can make people look dumb but usually they aren't people with dyslexia just have trouble with reading or symbols this has nothing to do with there intelligence but because they have trouble with them some people think there dumb. Someone with autism is bad at communicating and forming relationships again this has nothing to do with there intelligence but again this is connected to the intelligence by some. Einstein could concentrate on things a lot longer then most there are stories that he could concentrate on the same subject for weeks while a normal person would have only lasted a couple of hours. It's also being said that he was hard to approach while doing his research. And some describe this as a mental condition as well but it was never proven as far as i am aware at least. Kud not knowing English is strange indeed in Europe you can get around reasonably with French or German in most countries you can't with Japanese or Russian and she also mentioned America and Sri Lanka. |
