DraconisMarch said: J.C. Staff's animation quality is shit--especially in comparison to Sakurasou. Obviously dumping all their money into that instead. Yerld said: J.C. Staff doesn't have a stake in this show, so it's unlikely that they would spend more than they need to. Simply put, the investing companies were more generous with the budget than the ones behind Little Busters. But then again, that isn't too surprising either. Sakurasou is backed by a consortium of giants: Media Factory, Ascii Media Works, Genco, Animax Broadcast Japan, Sony Music Communications, MBS..... I'm not exactly sure who makes up the LB committee, but judging by the scant list of producers on staff, only Warner Bros. and (to a much lesser extent) Bushiroad would qualify as notable investors. |

| Komari... I strongly dislike her and her voice already. I'm sad to see she is a main character. At least she brings out the shy moe side of Rin. Yay. The Key writing has never felt so apparent. Everything is very happy-go-lucky with repeated jokes and then something tragic comes out of someone's ass. Go Key GO! |

Inver said: still bad Yeah. - The plot is just way too random. - The comical side of the characters takes so much space that they don't feel like human at all. - The comedy feels flat and corny. The overdramatization of the MC narcolepsy was actually the funniest part of this episode. - The animation is just bad. - The soundtrack is unfitted for an anime. - Some female seiyus are really annoying. I don't think that those happy-go lucky episodes are for me, but I won't drop it until I see some drama. |

| Do you know Oyashiro-sama? |
| Happy about: Most of the jokes don't fall flat. Unhappy about: Every girl has the voice of a three year old. |

| Watching this 30 minutes before my final exams. Thanks Rin, you keep me going. |

I don't think that those happy-go lucky episodes are for me, but I won't drop it until I see some drama. 1. How is the plot random? Hell, there hardly even IS a plot at this point. It's just some kids wanting to play baseball. Then there's the subplot regarding Rin getting the notes from the cat. That's it. Not really random. 2. This will make sense later on. 3. I agree with you on this point. His Narcolepsy was mentioned once in the VN, and then it barely ever came into play, to the point where I wonder why they even bothered with it at all. They put way too much emphasis on it in this episode I think. 4. The animation isn't THAT bad. It isn't amazing, but compared to many other animes out there, it's pretty damn average. 5. The soundtrack is absolutely fine, what is bad is how poorly they are using it. They stop and repeat the same song anywhere from 2-4 times in multiple scenes, it's very noticeable, and it sounds god awful. 6. Yes. Komari is annoying as shit. I'll give you that. Seriously, the anime isn't great, but it's not nearly as bad as you make it out to be. |

| LMAO at ''YOU PASS!''.Just too hilarious :D and that Masato dance. I loved first episode, but this one was even better.Jokes are really nice. 5/5 |

Don't worry, they'll fix it in the dub and everyone will bitch instead about how they all sound like they're 50. Kudryavka dubbed would destroy me LOL I can imagine. :D Engrish in a English voice. |

Bobjones said: Kurugaya's voice is fine and Kud is actually younger than them so it'll be understandable in her case. Komari...well.... I think most people, even the diehard fans, will tell you her voice is just ugh.Anyone else find that Komari girl irritating? Its like every time she opens her mouth I go: "Must... resist... urge... to choke... person sitting next to me." Fuko was alright and even adorable but this girl makes me want to scream sometimes. I dread to think of what Kud would be like. Seriously, are ALL the female characters in this anime gonna have helium voices? Overall, another meh episode. I hope they get to the core plot soon. I think the problem people have with Komari is not even the high pitched voice that much, we see that pitch of voice all the time in anime. It's the weird timing in which she talks. Basically, she speaks sloooooowly and with this weird intonation that it's like trying to sound cute but failing miserably. It was even worse in the VN honestly. -_- |
|
| May be you or they are talking about animation, and it is obvious sometimes and horrific. I don't know about art (despite of the different character design), but i know when they have static scenes, no expression in faces (only opening and closing mouth), speedlines, nosense travelling shot because no animation at all and other things on little busters. That is outrageous for an anime with hype and fans as little busters, sometimes one could ignore this for the history, but it is not a minor thing. Yet it isn't so horrific to instant drop, but it is enough to bother. |

| Saturn reference detected in the spoiler http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cronus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_(mythology) But it’s a good reference and it’s not the first. Tons of it were done in animes before. All time involving a form of time/space mutation. For example in Kokoro Connect the OP2 had Saturn in it and there was time manipulation in regards to age. Remains to find out what is of Little Busters. Funny thing is that with the letter mentioning world secret and Saturn, I can easily deduct that the world might be some fabrication. That the world might be fake. It’s a space fabrication. Remains to see how it pans out itself all this. As the details and making sense of it is not known to me with the info yet. However the Saturn finding is fascinating on its own once realized. VN players might be shocked to see how close I am to the truth but this purely of deductions. Well am I close to something? |

Many fans got used to Komari's voice, there are fans that are fond of her voice.. fit's her easygoing character (and clumsy nature?) alot and no.. not all the characters will have helium voices. Komari is the only one, one has a mature voice, a kuudere voice, a energetic voice, a childish voice (kud) Kuds voice? here's a CM for you to check out then: |

| What I'm left with after two episodes is that this is one of the poorer shows of the season. None of the characters seem to have any character and there isn't really a story yet. Masato seems to be a copy of TK from Angel Beats. I didn't appreciate TK but at least he didn't get too many lines as he provided his style of light humour. Komari seems to be a copy of Yui from Angel Beats, except she lacks any of Yui's charm. I see from the comments that I'm not alone in this but offhand, this may be the worst-voiced main character ever. I really didn't like Rin's voice in the first episode (enough so that I looked up her seiyuu to see if she had voiced any characters I knew and whether I should have expected this but it appears this is her second role), but Komari shames her in this regard. That her character is so vapid makes me wonder how I'd react if I liked the character but hated the voicing. Not an actual issue however. Anyway, the early performances of the two, main, female seiyuu are blights upon this show. If I'm going to stick with the Angel Beats character comparisons, then Kengo would be the copy of Shiina, and Riki of Otonashi. I guess that would make Kyou Yurippe. Haven't seen any Tenshi yet. Not sure who Rin would be. But these easy comparisons aren't good signs for this show. I don't find any of the characters to be appealing, either in their design or what they do. The main characters have less substance than most secondary or supporting characters. I think the humour is feeble, flat, ill-timed and unfunny. There is also a deadening dependence upon it. Were any scenes with Komari not 'humourous'? I can't think of any. Were any funny? I can't think of any. I'll add my voice to those who find that the animation is unimpressive. It seems that most scenes are fixed, with just the speaker's mouth or a limb moving. Even the clouds don't move. I don't know if this qualifies as a high budget show or not but it seems like it would be better suited as a web animation. Which surprises me due to the apparent popularity of the franchise. I think that the artwork in the Index/Railgun shows is good so my complaints aren't about JC Staff. I'd add that Sakurasou also looks fine and that's also a current show, so I don't know what the problem is with this one. As to plot, there really isn't one yet. The preview suggests that perhaps one is about to begin. I hope so. Perhaps once the characters start doing something, they'll start developing enough character for me to actually care about them or their relationships. Of course, based on the first episode, it seems that 30 pages worth of comments thought that Rin was going to be the first to fall to Riki's charms, but now it seems that everyone is just as certain that it's Komari who will be the centrepiece of the initial arc. So maybe the suggestion of an upcoming plot is just a ruse. Just have to give it a couple more episodes to see if anything develops. |
| Good episode again :D Comedy played well. So this series is 26-episodes... Fans will finally calm down :) |
| At least I could turn off Komarimax's voice in the VN, but here...Jesus, I seriously had to avoid long and sharp objects lest I stab my eardrums. How can someone have such a repelling voice is beyond my comprehension. Apart from that, it was an okay episode with a few funny scenes. The best part was definitely Masato's Muscle Dance, and it seems Best Girl is about to make her entrance in the next episode. Can't wait 3.5/5. |

So maybe the suggestion of an upcoming plot is just a ruse. Just have to give it a couple more episodes to see if anything develops. For your information, if the characters seem the same to you, then angle beats would be copying little busters since little busters came out first. Also the characterisation and character development level is very high if you wish to continue this anime. If you have watched clannad then you may understand but if you haven't, each and every one of the characters would (hopefully) have their problems revealed and then solved. From the VN, i found that all the characters go beyond the characters of lots of main characters from other animes. From what I've heard so far, I'm presuming that there is a very limited budget for this anime for some reason which is the reason a few of you are complaining about the art. (I actually quite thoroughly enjoy it) Also there is a giant plot to this anime. All those who read the VN would definitely agree with me. However the plot of key animes are very different from actions ones where you get to know the plot at the start. With key works, they build up the characters to a very high level and then dive to the plot which is usually simple but completely filled with emotion. Hope this information helps :) |

Mockman said: Komari seems to be a copy of Yui from Angel Beats, except she lacks any of Yui's charm. A copy of Yui from Angel Beats?? They are similar in sharing some air-headedness but I cannot see how this makes them a copy of each other. There are a lot of similarities between Angel Beats and Little Busters, but I would not say they are copies of each other as you seem to suggest. For its humor, I would say the humor in AB can also be feeble, flat, ill-timed and unfunny - the thing is LB is no worse than AB in my own opinion. It is just Key's way of humor I guess. As for Rin's voice, it is carried on from the VN, and VN seiyuu very often do not appear in anime. |
| 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. |
| Dropped. Will pick up again if I hear this improves. |
