TheFactSheet said: MagicFlier said: TheFactSheet said: not to mention, where's the main story even just a hint of it? There were a lot of hints so far... probably over 8 for all the episodes till now, there was actually a scene or two during Komari's arc, you just havent noticed, rather i don't think they want you to notice until you find out the 'main story' that you speak of. Probably the only really noticeable hint so far was the one in episode 2. -- NO, NO... i'm comparing first arc to another first arc of other adapted key anime. meaning, komari arc to fuuko arc and makoto arc. on main story, you are talking like that because you have know the source VN... you know already those hints and what are those you cant point this and that. but how about the majority of fans that are clueless about the VN like me? clannad and kanon manage to show the (hint of the) story within this same amount of episodes and that even those who dont have a knowledge about the source VN got it... in my case, i dont even need to spoil myself with the help of wiki because of that. "they dont want you to notice"? WHAT?!!! i dont know what to say... so the anime then is for VN players ONLY huh if that statement is to be followed? -- anyway, the fact it was rushed will stay as rushed. some folks in 2ch agree. Clannad did show noticeable hints that actually viewers who didn't know the story didn't notice too, As well as for Kanon, TheFactSheet said: clannad and kanon manage to show the (hint of the) story within this same amount of episodes and that even those who dont have a knowledge about the source VN got it... I don't know how you were able to hint out the main story from such vague hints... RANDOM FACT: Kanon and Clannad all have 5 heroines/arcs, but Little Busters has 6 heroines/arcs in it, meaning an extra heroine here compared to the older ones C8 |

| ^^Technically since they're supposedly doing all the Heroines/arcs, it's 9 compared to 5 ^_^ |

| Found myself crying as a baby by the end of the episode. And I already read the VN. Can't wait for the next ep |

| haha, well the original post is already spoiler tagged so if you remove that part of your post, mission complete! If someone who has yet played kanon saw it, mission failed. Bad end, go back to title screen. |

| The best episode since the series began!! Love this episode!! Although the problem is resolved quite fast!! |
| Signature |
| It's just because JC Staff is rushing things out. |

Inver said: drop I really do hope that you don't drop. It kinda kills me inside when I see someone who loved clannad dropping this and missing out on this beautiful story. It is saddening when there is one less person to enjoys shedding tears of youth with. :'( However its your decision in the end. Maybe you can approach this show back again when if finishes to appreciate its beauty. :) |

Inver said: drop ok |

| Nope. Other than the flash-backs about the brother, I found this episode kind of boring. Komari's whining was just too ear-piercing... |
| Heartwarming episode. Komari's arc was decent although the execution was a bit iffy at some parts. I'm actually glad they didn't dwell too much on Komari's arc because her arc is fairly simple to understand. Not counting Refrain, Rin 1 and 2, Haruka's and maybe Mio's arc is a bit more complicated imo so it would be best if they invested more efforts there. |

|
| Hmm, a few nice touches to Komari's route. It's a shame it had to be rushed in three episodes, but with only 26 episodes to deal with every girl's route - it can't be helped, I guess. Could Haru-chin's route be next? Oh man, it's so good to hear Song for Friends ~instrumental~ again. |
| Such an emotional episode. I was teary at the end, Alicemagic is such a great closing song along with Komari's recovery. |
xMaebaraK1x said: symbv said: I love the hugging scene at the end, but VN readers seem to be saying there are more hugging scenes but are cut out?? And next week Haruchin's route will begin it seems ! Riki hugs Komari, and Komari cries on his shoulder. Even though I didn't read the VN nor knew about this I had the feeling I was missing this scene... However, I find that J.C. Staff really did reproduce the typical "Key emotion" that's in all of Key's works, you know what I'm talking about. Good to know that not necessarily KyoAni is needed for that, although their anime are still often superior. |
kelpso said: NOW THAT WAS A MASTERPIECE! I agree! First few minutes I was a little bit indeferent but then it all came on me and somehow this ep had even more impact on me then the first time before I completed VN. Not only is Komari arc done better than in game but I also liked themes of friendship and everyone helping Riki complete his painting. Perfect! |
| That didn't touch me at all. :V |

People always argue about which character routes that is the best route among other character routes, but nobody debates that all of them are just introduction for refrain. |

| Definitely the best episode so far, the entire "feel" of it was good (especially with the rain). It was touching to see everyone working so hard to cheer up their shocked friend, and Natsume Kyousuke's words on not running away were especially meaningful... I can tell that there is definitely a deeper meaning in them, for him. I believe that concludes the first arc, now I'm looking forward to the other heroines. I really want the "true story" already that everyone hints to me, but I guess I can be patient/occupied with these until then. The more build-up, the better, and it's not like I'm not enjoying it (can't go wrong with KEY). |

People who dislike Key works will argue that on LB threads Wrong wordings on my side. I was supposed to write something like "nobody debates that refrain is pretty much the best route,since it ties every things that were scattered in other routes into one unity". In the end I tried to shorten the sentences and messed it up. Sorry >___< |
| Well Komari-Chan was right there are many things to do in reality than being sad of what you saw in reality!!! |
 |
| The feel is strong with this one ;_; |
  |
| And Komari's arc comes to an end. (sadface) As someone who hasn't seen the visual novel yet, I must say, that was pretty well done in my opinion. I'm sure it falls in comparison to the visual novel, but I don't give a damn because I haven't seen it! >:D |

| Komari's seemed like the closest adaptation of all the routes, because there wasn't much more romance in the VN. Mio's is also considered pretty faithful, but skips some of the romance and events, while still emphasizing the main purpose pretty well. Haruka's was the least similar to the VN, a lot of events were cut out, and the resolution didn't include Riki helping as much. Kud's was mostly faithful, but much better in the VN due to romance and clearer character motives and intentions, and less rushing events. It's still a mixed bag of whether you like the heroines or the routes or anything. |

| A really nice episode, some great drama but a happy conclusion in the end! Lets see what happens next :D |
 |
| Emotions everywhere, though it didn't make me cry :S Rin was cute as ever. Who was the person with the umbrella in the cemetery? It couldn't have been Komari's grandfather, because I'm sure they would have ellaborated on that. |

He had a similar umbrella to Mio, but in the VN Riki notices that it's Kengo, and sees his parasol. It's hard to tell in the anime. pic: If you look you can see Kengo's clothes and sandals. Hope you keep enjoying the show~ |
