But rin lost the fight huh? i always won in the game..

When you first play the game Rin always loses because her stats at the beginning of the game was weak. after completing a path, her and Riki get somewhat stronger each time

Done watching the raw. Here's now my opinions:

1. Is it only me or is it just they're rushing their conversation?

2. Sasami's pitch seems lower than in the VN.

And I thought Haruka is the one who will show up since in the VN, she's the first girl who showed up then Komari. It seems we will see Komari's arc first?

I don't what to say about this first start of the series.

1. The anime for sure is more fast paced then the VN, most likely because of time constraints.

2.It is because they had to change voice actors. In the VN Riki, Sasami, and Rin all have the same voice actors.

I also remember Haruka showing up first but thats because there was a scene in the classroom, the anime skipped that.

Overall im pleased with the anime, it is NOOOOOOOOWhere near how bad i thought it would be

1. Maybe I was used from their VN conversation pacing than this one LOL.

2. I know. I'm just saying since I miss Tomoe's Sasami's voice. >_>

I really love opening. As for the Alicemagic, not bad song, I don't really like it, but ending, animation looks great. Especially a short piece of it when Haruka jumps around Riki. She is so cute :D

It's still too early to really tell. It depends on how they decide to adapt the routes that will really make or break this anime.

I thought the animation quality in this first episode was so ok it's average. There were also way too many still frames and the like. Still, I'll wait for the subbed episode to really put out my final judgement.

Same here, but I guess a new version of the OP after listening to the other 2 to death is a nice change xD

you know if you hate it this much, no one is forcing you to watch it. also if you can understand anything from the raw, he did say the title and the written part was comedic. Kyoani's Clannad did the exact same thing with Fuko so that isn't J.C. staffs fault

I kind of agree with the fact that they are using the soundtrack poorly. It doesn't sound very good. They use a song for 10-20 seconds, stop it, and then replay the same exact song from the start again. Argh, that didn't sound too good.

But the trend with everyone in anime looking like kids has been going on for years. Seriously, look at anime from 1990-2010~, and you can see the character designs get younger and younger looking the further along you go.

And it's not like I hate the whole anime, but I was so excited about the adaptation, and it didn't turn out like I've expected.
It's like with Chaos;head, for me the game is much better than the anime, some people even recomment playing it and not watching the adaptation.
Some of my friends that haven't played LB but watched the first ep says that it looks boring, I just don't want people to think of LB as a bad series, only cuz of the anime orz

^This
As a VN reader myself, I think J.C. is doing really well in the adaption. The art may not be preferable to some, but I think the character designs are really good. The VA for Riki may seem off as well, but compared to having Rin's VA cover his lines, I think Yui Horie is preferable.

My only gripe would be Riki's voice which is too feminine(yeah I know Hocchan is doing him) and Kyosuke's voice is too deep for a high school student.
Being Masato is suffering, getting beat up like that. And voiced by Nobutoshi Canna. He's a cool dude though, Masato.
And Rin is cute.
I liked what I saw and I'm looking forward to this show.

Sa-chan used Clannad as the example because 1. They are both Key games.
2.Kyoani animated that and you were clearly trying to blame J.C. Staff for doing the same thing. face it, even if Kyoani or even any others did this adaption it would be the same OSTs as the VN

Ehh, after playing maaaaaaany visual novels I'll enlighten you - most of the games doesn't have OSTs fitting to animes. It's just hard to imagine anime scenes with some songs. And for me, LB is just like that. There are a few songs that will fit, but in this episode ALMOST none was good.

I'm a hardcore fan of the game. And disappointed that this wasn't from KyoAni. but ef, this is already satisfying.
JC Staff did a good job on the 1st ep, and no use complaining when it looked like they did their best.
Little Busters! has an airing anime now, and that is all that matters now.
Let's just pray they will do justice to the pacing

The OP - as expected. good.

I didn't really like Alicemagic[ in game], but the ED in the anime gave off such a good vibe, I'm addicted to it now. XDDDD

Probably :D But it's such a stupid reason for argument. Some people like it this way (me for example, I'd break my PC if I hadn't heard VN soundtracks) and some hate it. No need to argue over that.

I don't see the point in changing the OSTs though. It suits well with the anime. You will definitely won't get the same feeling if they change it.

Voices sound the same to me, OSTs were enjoyable to hear again and animation was great (especially the Sakuga moments)

why
just why
The art... omg, it's so childish , all the characters looks like they're 12 years old or something.
The music is taken from the game. J.C. Staff, you should already know that OSTs from visual novels doesn't fit animes :<
And this http://imageshack.us/a/img198/6462/vhghgfhfg.jpg This is not a game anymore, Rin's nickname should be said, not written.
Everything is just wrong, why, God why ;U;
It was one of my favourite games OTL

Cheap animation as expected from JC staff.

Feels like J.C is playing it safe by recycling all the music and voices. Not bad overall but Yui Horie's voice was.....

Deargod, all this complaining about perfection щ(ﾟДﾟщ)

Hardcore fans who can't tolerate the little change in the anime version should drop and stay away.

^ more people should be like this

Anime was beautiful, JC Staff did great so far and charactors don't look childish
Voices sound the same to me, OSTs were enjoyable to hear again and animation was great (especially the Sakuga moments)

So everyone should use a hyperbole? Seriously though, if there weren't people who disliked the anime, discussion wouldn't be nearly as interesting. Those of you dismissing people who dislike the anime as haters should listen to what they have to say, because they do have valid points.
