| Seriously, how long will take until people stop denying JC Staff blame at this? It don't matter that Key is working with them, there's a limit for what they can influence in the production of this series. Because Little Busters anime has its own scriptwriter in charge of plot's adaptation and a director that is probably the f*cking worst director I've seen in a while. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it was a terrible episode, but it was awfully disappointing in a way. I remember saying this in another thread: Mary_Vanucchi said: Takana_no_Hana said: Good episode indeed. There are some episode that I enjoyed, but there are others I didn't. So I'd say that my enjoyment on LB! is inconsistent. Maybe because the series itself is inconsistent. I just hope this episode is a hint that the direction is getting better. AHAHAHA I was tricked by my own ingenuity again. This is what annoyed me the most with this week episode. So last week we had a good presentation of Kud, good use of jokes and nice animation, things that are known too as good direction. But then, this week the director dozes off; Sasami appearance was terrible, animation was terrible, and Rin development is quite strange.l I mean, what is this guy doing? Until now we had just average to somewhat-good episodes. Why just Kud episode is given a good effort? Yeah, she is the most popular character of the series, but what about the rest? If he can do a better job for the most popular character, why don't do the same for the rest? Maybe I'm reading in too much, but this makes look like the director doesn't really care for what he is doing. Is not even a matter of comparing to KyoAni again - this guy Yoshiki Yamakawa (didn't even bother to confirm his name) isn't doing the basic, which would be try to make this series stand out. Events are way too shuffled, we had a character's arc before the introductions were finished and this week we got a filler-ish episode. Is more like people in charge of this production know they can't adapt such work to anime and don't really care. After all, Kud got a very good episode, that may be enough for raising sales, right? F*ck the rest! *sarcasm* I think this may have been my dumbest post ever...[2] But it can't be helped - maybe I'm spitting some nonsense here, but I'm really angry now. I really tried to defend this series and really enjoyed most of the episodes until now (as I said before, I have some bias because of how much I like the VN), but is getting harder and harder to defend such disjointed production. Also, f*ck Warner and their low budget for this project. Random45 said: EDIT - Riki should just confess his love to Kyousuke already and get all this UST out of the way. Hah, this. xD Edit: too much typos and bad english. Tried to correct at least a bit. |

| I think a lot of the hate about this being a "useless" episode (animation issues aside) is actually arising from the fact that we're, you know, watching it as it comes out. Meaning, we wait an entire (!) week, only to be "disappointed" with an episode that doesn't seem to go anywhere. I mean, to be honest, if we were marathon-ing this, it probably wouldn't be a problem. For example, who here complained about (Clannad "spoilers", not really) If you're going to call the cafeteria mission a waste of time and filler, then tell me, did you hate those two episodes as well? If you guys are annoyed that we're not going on routes, then just wait a few weeks before watching. Then, the "useless" episode will just be a mere 24 minutes of your time. Let's just hope the episodes do in fact get better for the heroine routes and most importantly, Refrain. If those are done badly, I WILL be pissed. |
| it really does sometimes feel like jc staff are putting just enough effort to make as much money without trying.and its working, the bd + dvd sales are among the top ranked (significantly below chuunibyou though). it's annoying cuz we know that they CAN do it, but they choose to fuck around with the bare minimum. you DON'T treat a key anime like that. even toei had better animation (animation not art once again, i hate those super chins) than what is presented here. lmao warner bros. one of the biggest major producers in america, and we get some of the lowest budget animation this season. |

| Ah, that was kinda cute! The one leaving messages, well, it's got to be the leader of the gang guy right? I mean, he just was on the ball with both the weird events now, so he's too suspicious! Haha, he's just doing it to get them to bond I guess? Ah well, fun times all round! |

Most people seem to think it's Kyousuke, and given the circumstances, that's not bad I suppose. |
| The episode was funny enough to entertain me, but I have to agree with all of you, low budget and not the best direction it could have. |
 |
| Super cute episode! Can't wait to see next weeks! |
| That was hilarious when Rin texted Riki... I thought she has a plan or something :) |
| So many cute Rin moments :D Quite an enjoyable episode~ |
| I was expecting to dislike this episode based on the comments I was reading. I actually liked it. I did feel like Rin's shyness was overcome too fast though. Also, her falling when the cats attacked her... it had me laughing so hard for the wrong reasons... It looks like anime-only viewers are enjoying this episode more than VN players, so maybe I like it because I'm (mostly) an anime-only viewer? I dunno, but I was expecting it to be really bad. This episode also had a bunch of mysterious stuff that people look forward to in Key series. The whole "secret of the world," the speculation on who sent the letters, and Riki's narcolepsy. |
 What "Adolescence" do you have? Do you remember "Childhood"? The irreplaceable one existed there. |
| yea for some reason they're not hitting the comedy right at all >.> but i don't remember the vn being very funny either so w/e |

| Nice episode. |
| A nice episode. It does give a lot more depth to anime viewers which is necessary. I quite enjoyed the consistency in art and actually didn't notice the lack of animation until Rin fell :P I wasn't too fond with the narcolepsy explanation again. Riki falling from it during the cooking would have easily reminded viewers but no biggie. I didn't mind Sasesagawa Sasami (other than the high pitch part of her laugh) but those followers..... How the hell is she respected with those minions around? lol The reuse of the unused soundtrack makes it feel less special than it did when they showed it the first time in Komari's arc. The breeze and leaves around Rin was nicely placed here though. Hrrmmmm....Masato eating the shoe.... Was it just me or when they showed the pv last week, it looked like it was young masato? o.O Yay! The penguin book! :3 And so much hnngh for Kud. (No it does not mean ill join Kyousuke's side) Haruka acting like Haruka! yay yay OMG! The meal part, just showed exactly what i did during those mini games and those reactions from the students are priceless haha Not sure about anyone else but I've taken quite the liking the the (sort of) philosophical and symbolic monologues and speeches. Now that I think about it, the director seems to be putting a lot of emphasis onto the symbolism. Ok I admit it, I got hungry when Masato offered the plate of tempura :L makoa69 said: But god, I'm getting really annoyed at the humor of this show. Oh look, Muscles got hit again! Oh so funny!! Oh look! Muscles is talking about muscles again! Haha he's so funny!! >.> The muscles reference are actually not mainly a humour attempt, rather it is there for lightheartedness. You will get what I mean in time ;) |
| You were eaten by the eel pie instead |
| I liked it. Probably more than most others. |
| This week in Little Busters thread, useless rant about J.C and WB that will not solve anything at all... Okay, okay, we already got it weeks ago. |
| No |

I don't think it's exactly valid to compare this week episode with that Clannad episode. If I remember well, Not that Little Busters episode 09 didn't had an importance after all - and I agree that marathon-ing could be a better choice for enjoying this better - , but they really stretched the cafeteria issue too much. I can see why non-VN players enjoyed more this since we are back on the Secret of The World stuff (also, this part is my favorite from the common route), but the progression and bad use of humor really turned me off. There is the Rin development issue too - once she is extremely shy towards the other girls and after she is asking their help normally; repeat. She isn't like this in the VN, and the presentation feels inconsistent. But the "filler-ish feeling" isn't what bothers me the most. What really PISSES ME OFF is that the production team had already shown that they know how to do the execution right - so why so much inconsistency between each episode? If they can do really good work like they did in episodes 01 and 08, why won't do the same effort for the others? Sure, during any anime there are episodes weaker than the others, but the difference here seems too much discrepant. If you ask me, this gives the feeling that the production don't have too much of personal dedication for this - especially from that damn director. You can't make your work shine above the others if you don't give a minimum of special treatment, and in a consistent way. Also, they seem to be unsure with the order of the events. They started Komari's route too early, like they wanted to show something for the impatient ones first, and now they slowed down a lot the pacing to finish the introduction after a character's arc... The show's events seem shuffled. But then, I'm growing skeptical of this anime since episode 06, when Komari route finished in an underwhelming way. Was when I finally started to see some elephants in the room. SleepingEntity said: PrometheusZero said: Ah, that was kinda cute!

Most non-VN players are making interesting speculation - many of them don't know how close of the truth they are getting. I speculated a bit when I was reading the VN, but back then I was "half-spoiled" before reading Refrain, so my attempts at guessing the truth didn't have too much merit. lol For those enjoying and speculating: keep trying. I'm sure most of you will get a nice surprise at the ending of the series. ;) |

| tl;dr kill me baby director still sucks until proven otherwise also episode 10 summary in addition to this the Episode 11 title is Horror no RYO event ill leave you guys guessing what that is.. Episode 10 - Blue of the sky, Blue of the sea (romaji sora no ao, umi no a-wo) While looking for a lost ball during baseball practice, riki met with the quiet girl nishizono. always in the court yard under the big tree, the girl who was reading below her parasol had caught riki's attention. At first her sharp tone left riki bewildered, but after sharing some of her lunch he started to become more comfortable. The book that she was reading was something important to her; although wanting to know what kind of book it was, she would not tell him. later in the day Nishizono had seemingly lost her book sometime during gym class, Riki decided to help her find it. |

I'm sure most of you will get a nice surprise at the ending of the series. ;) Yes, I agree with most of your points for the most part. I do think the annoyance mostly does come out of the underwhelming animation and art, and considering the good job they did with Kud's episode, people are rather justified in their anger. But I'm still going to defend this anime until the very end. I'm not saying it will be good. I'm saying we shouldn't make conclusive judgments yet. Believe me, if my favourite parts of this anime are done badly, I will end up joining the JC ragers. And about the speculation...a "nice" surprise"? If only it were that simple...these guys are in for some fun. |
| Can't believe Rin got bullied by a bunch of jokers there... sorry if I offended anyone... == looks like we'll have new recruit next ep :) |
| @SleepingEntity I understand your point. Right now I wanted to be just like most fans here, but for me is a hard to ignore what I think is wrong. Is mostly like the good parts works even better than they should with me, but the wrong ones pisses me too much because I feel they are really wrong. I don't like to judge things before they finish, but I believe early wrong decisions have great chance of putting down the whole content, like a snowball effect. But maybe I'm just being a tsundere for this show. Next week we'll have Mio introduction and she is my 3rd favorite girl, so I'll probably let my bias take over and enjoy the show again. Yeah, right now I'm feeling that every episode will be a fight of love-or-hate for me. :( About the surprise, well, I believe it will be nice in a way... Since most people here are looking for true Key tear-jerking drama. ;) P.s.: Oh yeah, I guess I was aggressive over others at the beginning of my first post, so if somebody felt offended, my sincere apologies. (Also, lol @ my typos, bad english and repetition of what I had already said) P.p.s.: just to bring another point of view in the table: http://www.lostinanime.com/2012/12/little-busters-09.html I really agree that JC understand friendship, and IMO it was the best point of this episode. But about people disliking about cynicism... Well, I guess that kind of dislike isn't directed just towards Little Busters!, but to other Key works as well. |

NoobHunterD said: The OSTs are really growing on me now. Also, this episode made me hungry... This. I also enjoyed the bgm of this episode. |
| amazing episode as always... komari and kudo is moe as hell LOL riki's narcolepsy turn down the curtain |
 |
| That was a very lively cafeteria! I wonder how the writer of those notes knows what is going to happen... Nishizono next episode! |
 |
| I thought this was the weakest episode so far. The plot doesn't move forward more than a millimeter, it retread the same ground an earlier episode did, and had way too much filler. The retread ground is Rin's shyness - it was odd to see her revert back to being unable to look at the girls, when in an earlier episode she was talking to Komari just fine. I guess my main beef with the episode was due to the plot going to a complete standstill so they could dedicate an entire episode to just one of Rin's notes. Seriously, is every single note going to get its own episode? We're already at episode 9, and only have one arc done, the general arc isn't close to being over, and they STILL have to fit refrain into all of this! They only have 26 episodes, and this is just wasting valuable time. At this rate, all the rest of the arcs are going to be rushed as much as Komari's was. If the rumors of a second season are true though, then discount a lot of what I just said. I still think the episode had too much filler, but they can afford it if they have an additional season. |
| Okay, since we lost the previous thread, I'll repost my thoughts on the episode - and with less anger and stupidness (I was really pissed last time). Those who already read my thoughs on previous thread will find nothing new here. The fact the production can do a better effort for the episode with the best commercial potencial (01, 08) and doze off for others (09, conclusion of 06) almost feels disrespectful. Director doesn't seem to have any attachment for what he is doing. Is more like the production knows that can't adapt somethign as hard as LB! and is just trying to avoid complete commercial failure (I know LB is going well in Amazon rankings, but I bet it will sell around the same as Kanon 2002). The fact is, they are trying to show that the pace will slow down in a way fans can be sure that a second season is coming. But then, they are doing that in a lazy way. They could do the cafeteria stuff in less than 15 minutes and have time for more common route stuff and characterization. Also, agree with Random45 about Rin development; is completely inconsistent. Riki repetitions on the Narcolepsy stuff are getting annoying (there are some theories about how this can be related Sasami appearance was terrible - maybe the worst joke of the entire show (also, coincidentally it was an anime original joke... *sarcasm*). Also, animation was ridiculous - and please don't tell me I'm picking at minor things. Animation is an important part of presentation, and some moments of this episode were laughable. Just another point of disrespect JC/Warner are giving to this production. But in the end, the worst of all is the quality inconsistence between episodes. This don't really give me any confidence on how the most important parts will turn out (and Komari's route was already messed up...) |

Hoshimaru57 said: You know, people can complain all they want, I've never played the game so i'm not going to nitpick. I will stand by this show good, bad, or otherwise! In case of this being directed at me, I can just say I'm still enjoying this more than it looks by my posts. It's good for you if you don't want to nitpick, I really wanted to be like this too. But you know, complaints aren't coming just from VN fans. A lot of only-anime watchers can't find reasons to watch this because of a lot of flaws. This series is too unpopular for Key standards and I'm sure this is due to lacklustre production. |
| "Like this too we met in a dirty and ugly world; Thank you for this miracle." |
| Imo too much foreshadowing. And are they trying to make girls lesbian? Ok Kurugaya was strange even in the VN but they went to far in previous episode and still continue. That's pretty much it. It's still faithfull and nice, but unfortunately nowhere near Clannad and I must say it looks like they pay more attention to Sakurasou... |
 |
| I've had a long absence of watching this anime, kind of halted it for a while but im glad im watchign it again, just because this was from Key so i thought that Romance is for sure but now that i think about it more, its more towards friendship, which is also nice, so my expectations of Romance is pretty much gone and now i can enjoy this show. |
| It can't be a coincidence that what was written in the note really did came to pass...and Riki's narcolepsy attack during the second task, it also happened in the first task as well. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| It's episodes like this which make me lose faith in J.C. Staff and then the credits come on and I get excited all over again for the next episode after watching the preview. |
| This is nothing like Clannad or Kanon... I might sound like a n00b now (well maybe I am) but when I first heard of Little Busters I expected it to be something like those other Key anime. I don't like this one as much, most of the episodes make me feel like I'm just watching one of those super random filler anime without a real plot. |

You should trust the people who played the VN when they say that everything that happens are a build up to the story's height and peak. In that sense, it is very much like clannad and kanon. However, story wise, clannad was about family and kanon was about memory. Here, the theme is friendship meaning that they will emphasise a lot more on the everyday school life which to new viewers, may seem mundane and unnecessary. Though I won't blame you, watching this one ep per week will annoy some people and right now it will seem like there is nothing going on. But if you are patient enough, you will soon understand why this story was appreciated around the same as clannad. :) |
| You were eaten by the eel pie instead |
| My technical mind could just see all the cheap tricks they used here, I don't want to whine but it's hard to focus on something like this. Comedy was nice as always, but I can't wait for the serious part. Lots of references about his sleep-illness and how dangerous it is. But it feels more like a skip-ahead feature of a game instead of something serious. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Another good episode! The show is getting better and better. Now I am tempted to play the game also :) Is VN worth of playing? How much time does it take to complete it? |
Mich666 said: Another good episode! The show is getting better and better. Now I am tempted to play the game also :) Is VN worth of playing? How much time does it take to complete it? It's definitely worth playing. It may take ~40-50 hours if you skip through the common route after you play it the first time. Each route averages about 2 hours, save for Haruka and Refrain which are 4-5 hrs each, and Rin has two routes. The common route might take like 10-15 hours depending on your speed. Once you get through the common route for the first time, it's easy to get engaged in the other routes, and each ending will be pretty satisfying, especially if you're enjoying the anime already. |

Ok, that's nice to hear, I will definitely pick it after I finally complete third route of Fate/Stay Night. Though I am sort of completionist.. this game would be at least 60 hours for me, *hehe* :) |

If you're not an english native speaker or an incredibly fast reader, it'll take you more than double the amount mentioned. Also depends if you let the japanese voices finish speaking or click onwards once you've read the lines. To give you an example to compare, it took me one full weekend to beat the Haruka route, which is one of the longest. (I'm not a native speaker and I let the voices speak to the end). It's completely up to you whether or not to play the baseball and battle ranking system minigames, which will also add to your time. (I played them twice. On the first run and somewhere around one of the last routes) Also note that THE VN IS FRIGGIN AWESOME SO GO GRAB IT THIS INSTANT!!! I'm serious. It's a masterpiece among masterpieces. Better prepare some tissues beforehand. (If you misunderstand this one, I'll get mad!) Feel free to contact one of us if you have any further questions concerning the VN, like recommended route order etc. You might also want to check out this topic http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=513963&show=0 |

Feel free to contact one of us if you have any further questions concerning the VN, like recommended route order etc. As my partner in crime said, the VN is definitely worth playing. I've checked out several VNs but none felt as engaging or as fun as Little Busters. I'll see if another VN will top that experience for me by summer time. |

I've checked out several VNs but none felt as engaging or as fun as Little Busters. I'll see if another VN will top that experience for me by summer time. I've ran through most of the Key VNs and a few others as well. LB is definitely on the top of my list so far, nothing else quite hits home as hard. Maybe it's the theme of 'friendship', maybe it's the characters, maybe it's just the way it is all presented. Overall though, the package is pretty incredible. |

| Okay, I'm starting to get into the groove now. And is it me, or does Riki seem like someone who's been out of high school for a year but time-travelled back into his younger self? You're not supposed to feel nostalgic while you're having fun! But I'm starting to enjoy it more now that I know what to expect, and from the sounds of things, I should really read/play the visual novel. Though as far as I know, there isn't any way to play visual novels on a mac, is there? |
