| Magnificient episode ~ owo I really love dat OP and ED, and damn Yui you badass =w= ~ |

| Kurugaya and Riki, EDIT: Shit got real in the last minute |
egnaro315 said: Kurugaya and Riki ugh, so there will be romance in Kurugaya's route? |
| Masato and kud fans are going to love the ed lol |
egnaro315 said: I feel so trolled, THOSE HANDS WEREN"T RIKI AND RINS FROM THE PV LOL didn't expect it too. Looks like tonnes of the material in the PV was from the very first episode :o |
| Well, the bullying sure lasted for a short time. Both Kud and Komari were victims and then Riki found out the culprits right away thanks to Suginami who was conveniently standing outside of clubroom. I personally think this works too, having Kurugaya find out right away armed with evidence and then well, the murder of Door-kun. Then the last part of the episode... I like the art in the OP and ED! Seeing Kengo and Komari in the complete uniform was refreshing too. |

| It's good to hear Nishizono's original V.A again! HOLY CRAP! KURUGAYA YOU BEAST!!!! This episode was so satisfying! :D |
| I noticed that in the ED song, in front of Kyousuke there is a stick looking object. At first I thought that it was some sort of baseball bat, but when i looked at it again, Kyousuke's hands/arms look as if they are by his side. Does anyone have any ideas as to what that is? |
| Holy fuck, I've never seen Little Busters so SAVED before. http://puu.sh/4Ial3.png Thank you JC Staff. Why did we ever doubt you? They handled this better than literally everything to ever come out of season 1. It was amazing, my waifu in full glory. About the content of the episode, I really liked it. Riki taking charge, and there were a lot of foreshadowing hints regarding the Secret of the World. They're continuing to do some excellent setup for Refrain. I think there was, at most, 1 QUALITY scene in the entire episode for less than 2 seconds. The entire episode looked awesome for JC Staff, and this will definitely go up there with their other top works. I didn't think I'd like the story changes, but they're working out fine so far. |

Ol-Hybrius said: Just finished ! The animation is definitivly better than season one's. And the tone is more serious also, nothing bad to say about OP and ED too. The episode still feels a bit "quick" to me (RIP Door-kun), and I'm confused with the flashbacks at the end. If Riki and Kurugaya have already been together, did this mean that Riki is reviving the routes again and again (while it was only once for each in the VN) ? Anyway, that was more than satisfaying. But I'm still worried, not about the animation anymore, but about some rush. Wait and see. ;) Hope you enjoyed that guest-pass :P, sadly cant get another for next week :( anyway, we still dnt knw how many episodes we going to get out of refrain.. 13... 24... or even 26.. im just scared to see them finally announce it :(, and maybe they rushing kurugaya's route to finally get into Rin/Refrain routes. |
| I'm so happy this anime is back I love it good first episode, the pancake party! :D I wanna have a pancake party.. Kurugaya scared even me at that one part the look in her eyes was terrifying |
| Romance confirmed or not? o.o |
| Soooooooooooooooooo glad to see them back. That was a hell of a first episode. Loved it. And it seems that Riki is getting struck by narcolepsy whenever he's trying to remember those lost memories. Interesting. |
 |
| Wow, JC Staff is really going quick with this route, but for some reason I'm actually enjoying it, that and the boost in the animation is just awesome. Not only that, there were so many freaking hints. I'm pretty sure some observant anime watchers might be able to tell the secret just from this episode alone (Although I could be wrong). Either way, it's good to see that JC Staff is actually trying, and I praise them for that. But now I'm curious on if the next 2 episodes will show what happened in those flashbacks, or just continue from where this episode ended. |
 |
| Wow, actually glad to have it back and what a serious episode, she was scary as hell there. The whole start seems much darker and serious than the first season, didn't disappoint. For a moment there I thought I sensed some romance vibes but now I'm not sure? Only disappointment is the music, not feeling the OP, ED right now, though it's hard to compete with the first season in that respect. Anyway great start! |
| Thank you J.C Staff for not fucking up with Refrain, I am actually happy with the first episode! All those hints to the secret of the world though /rolls |

Wait and see. ;) I don't care if they rush Anego's route (which reminds me, it is actually pretty short in the VN) as long as they take their sweet time in Rin's route and Refrain. Despite the rush, it was actually pretty good, I hope that they will give us this quality episodes on a consistent basis. I honestly can't see this getting cramped in 1 cour. |
| Drama already, nice. Can't wait for the next episode. |
 |
| WOAH WOAH WOAH!!...DEM FEELS right there TT__TT So that's the way they're gonna do this? The first half was so much fun :D...Smiling throughout. Then the second half with Kurugaya's anger, how she blew the door away and her face when scaring those 2 away was DAMN EPIC!!! The emotions were conveyed perfectly!! Loved the OP...ALL DAT FORESHADOWING!! And the ED was really beautiful :*) Kengo and Komari wearing the Uniform looks soo good :D Thank u JC!! PLZ KEEP THIS UP!!! >_< So I wonder how many eps they're gonna spend on the Kurugaya route? |

| Hype Hype Hype!!! XD It hasn't been subbed for an hour and we've already almost passed 6 pages XD |

| that was fast and pretty - it seemed they improved a bit visuals. I can't say I liked the OP but well it can be. now for the "fast" part... already going with Anego arc is strange. It's pretty spoilerific (but there is enough of those already). But if they want to fit it into 12 episodes than why not - there might be some material left, of course, but also it might be more dramatic. And since it's Key supervising the script we should assume they know what they are doing. For sure it's a great start. |
| FEW HOURS AND 100 POSTS ALREADY I LOVE THIS. THE DOOR KICKING ACTION Edit: *cough* It's disappointing they didn't put more detail into the bullying. It would've been better proof for kurugaya being able to act like that. Also already adding in "I've been here before" Wonder how this will work. |

| Great first episode, nice to see all the characters again. Not too keen on the OP, I miss the one from the first season. ED was rather decent though. |
| I know that Riki will end up with Rin but is this some evidence that he might end up with Kurugaya? PS: I played VNs. |
