Awesome OST this episode.

I know real world is the best, everyone is healthy and fine.. and nice to see saya and riki were getting closer together, but i'm worried about the rest of original LB members and their role in this OVA...

Actually, their roles are, if not purely, almost non-existent except in Kanata's route.

Thanks, I thought the first OVA was translated a lot later, but maybe that's because the subbers needed to pick it up first or something.

Well, the first episode was subbed on the next day after its release I believe.

I think it'll be only just because the sub groups aren't aware of this release given that this is OVA.

Overall, gangsta episode. As someone who hasn't read Saya's route, this is quite a new and also enjoyable experience for me.

Edit: K, so I didn't realise that BBCodes still didn't work... God dangit...

Saya was great this episode. Such an adorable tsundere.
She's actually not a Tsundere but a very rare breed called a Mayadere, can look it up if you want :P
Was surprised as well when I first noticed it on her vndb profile but yeah

Anyways I love Saya's self-torture ramblings, always makes me smile at her cuteness

Her route alone is about the same length as Refrain, but given that a lot of that time is in shooting gameplay mechanics unlike all the other routes it's still a lot easier to cut down, so I feel this is still doable in 4 episodes somehow... or so I'd like to hope at least. They're clearly changing a lot with the room ordering and the floors but it's no big deal, not gonna complain about that.

So Saya is what you call a Mayadere been wanting to so that since halfway in the episode but seems HaXXspetten beat me to it.
Still the further the episode progressed to more i started liking her personality those reaction are just funny to watch and i like girls with a dominant personality.

Riki must have had a hard time not looking during the bathing scene but in the end a droplet helped him out.
Now i wonder of the past between the two of them seems Saya remembers something.

Somehow Riki being the one Saya was holding and not the other way around is very fitting.

I like how they are handling Saya's character. Rather then being annoyed by her outbursts, I can't help but feel sorry for her, because for all her spy talk and good handling with a gun, this girl has zero self-esteem. Interested in what her connection to Riki is.

And yes Riki with a gun is a very odd experience.

I'm liking Saya, outbursts and all. There are definite undertones to some of her dialogue, as one who vaguely knows what happens. Also good to see a little more of the mystery unraveled which will probably be blown wide open pretty soon.

Saya-chan is the best girl!

Really liking how they're handling this. A little bit rushed, but still good. I wasn't too impressed with Refrain, so I just fool myself into thinking Saya's route is the true route. I'm really looking forward to how they'll end her story. The VN made me bawl like a little baby; let's see if the anime can do the same.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

Saya's route, yes.


Since when did Key or J.C staff said so ?

Not talking about the canon in VN but as far as the anime goes,Saya's random cameo in the first season and Saito OVA should be more than enough to prove she did exist in the anime timeline since the beginning.

I ain't referring about whether she's not canon or what. It's just I'm aware McQ999 used canon incorrectly.

Or I guess I should elaborate(Or make it clear) my answer further to avoid misunderstanding.

Her story is still canon but it doesn't have to do with the very story of Refrain.

Saya's route takes place before Refrain but can't be shown until you've finished Refrain first.

Indiana Jones Little Busters version.

Saya,Rin and and Kurugaya are now my top 3 girls.

I really enjoy this OVA so far though I do wish other Little Busters characters have some role but judging from what someone said earlier,that might not be the case.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Ohhh never heard of Mayadere. Thank you for that term. : )

So many traps.

Saya was adorable. I wish I could master the claw machine like her.

OMG Saya's Melody <3

Next episode is the last of her arc T___T.

I wonder if Riki and Saya are childhood friends?? Before he met Kyouske and the others way back when.

yeah sure, they're much shorter in the VN (nowhere near as good either though)
well Sasami's is kinda cute but very simplistic
Kanata's... idk I found it pretty boring

Saya's is amazing though, you don't see it in the anime but in the VN you're actually going around dungeon crawling manually in the labyrinth complete with level designs, trap rooms, shooting gameplay etc etc :P

Number of lines-wise, no. Sasami's and Kanata's are longer than the other heroines' routes(Except Saya's) and those routes got 3 episodes each yet Sasami's and Kanata's got only 2 despite they're longer.


So yeah, expect Sasami and Kanata as characters got more butchered than the rest of the heroines.

Kanata's doesn't really have a lot actual story though, especially since you've already read Haruka's by the time you get there. Sasami's is better but I still think it's possible to cut it down without too much trouble.

The issue is that you won't have a time to get attracted to Kanata and, especially, Sasami because they got only 2 episodes. Not to mention that they rarely appeared on both seasons 1 and 2, although Sasami got it worse since Kanata got her time on Haruka's route.
