Lovely bonding between Saya and Riki this episode <3
Decent episode on most parts. Nice sword and action. I gotta love how those two work together as a team now rather than arguing in the beginning. Nice.

A few funny moments and close calls as well as an encounter.

And this is the reason why I ship Riki x Saya the most and love Saya.
Really out of place fanservice like the last episode...

Then the Replay part of her route got me ;_;
I died. I wonder how many times I died. 99 times?
Can't wait for the next episode.

Good episode. Finally they kiss. I have a feeling that many fans will rage that Saya and Riki kiss instead of Rin and Riki didn't kiss in Refrain. Too bad Saya died from the mask man and Riki was in the cage. At least Saya repeated the loop again did the same thing as last time to Riki, I wonder if she drops the badge again like last time. Next month is going to be sad and Saya song will appear. 5/5

I wonder how they are going to manage the rest of the 5 episode. If the next episode still is about Saya, i wonder how they are going to cover the rest of the 2 characters. If its going to be 2 episode for the rest of the characters, it will feel very rushed.

It's four episodes for Saya and two episodes each for the other heroines.

Is Tokikazu Shun ( last boss) = Kyousuke!!!!??? Same VA??

Why didn't' she bring Rikki with her to face him. She's gonna bring him right this time?!

Next week we'll see a glimpse of her past

If she died 99 times. That means she knew where the traps were located then and how to get past them right? Then why does she tell Riki he's a good luck charm or was it lucky?

Question: Out of the 99 attempts. This was the only time she brought Riki with her right?

Well, now that ending was very interesting. I have a pretty good idea what Kyousuke (And come now. It's obviously him) is trying to do though. And I have to say, I feel more sorry for him then I did before.

Also, it looks like they are going for the romance. I'm sure all the Saya fans are giddy. I like her fine, thought I wouldn't say she's my favorite. That honor goes to Kurugaya by the way.

4 episodes for Saya?? GOD, i don't know whether i must be happy or not. I was planing to watch Saya's Arc in one go. Meaning, i was waiting 2 months till episode 3 is out and didn't watch even 1 episode for this. And in the end of episode 3, "to be continued" ....

Well, its funny huh?? Go Ahead and Laugh. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~


Note : i am happy that Saya got 4 episodes out of 8 episodes in Little Busters! EX TBH

That Saya x Riki moment. The kiss~
Sad to see Saya on the ground in a pool of blood.
Was expecting the Saya arc to finish up in 3 episodes too, but I'm glad to know we'll be getting another episode of her.
Other arcs will be rushed though :( Oh well.

I liked it, its a decent job on a very complicated route. Again, like with the original LB! and with refrain, I didn't really think they could fully animate the stories the way it played out in the VN but they did a decent job on this particular route. Because refrain is already over they don't have to hold back on the "nature" of the world.

Saya is my favorite EX girl and one of my favorites in general because her route is so bizarre and rather interesting. As a few people said though, it is a little rage inducing that Riki and her share a kiss when he doesn't even do it with Rin in refrain. I fully believe they could have animated all of the routes with romantic spins with out giving away the ending, or at least just animated the most important ones: Kurugaya's and Rin's. Considering Kurugaya's story is about her wanting to experience love and Rin is the main heroin of the entire story.

Anyways, no point in trying to get the impossible, cant wait till next month's conclusion.

Btw Kyouske as the man in that mask, main bad guy is a total bad ass. hopefully they show the one scene...

Saya is a fun girls without a doubt one of the best girls i have seen in the Little Busters universe and i would like to see more of her.
But for now it appears they are still in a time loop or better said game loop hopefully we will get a nice conclusion.
The others arcs that are coming up should be interesting as well.

btw, are you already finished Refrain?
I ask you because I see on your list that you're still watching the first season and for understand Saya's route (and the others EX arcs), especially the things that will be explained in the next OVA, is completely necessary watch Refrain first. :o

That's the thing though, I don't need to understand the details to see the beauty in this series. I watched the 3 episodes so far and I'm loving it, no questions asked. Or is it something in the next episode that will throw me for a loop? Either way I'll continue until I run into a problem, but so far there are no problems for me.

No it's just that the next episode literally won't make any sense at all if you don't know the truth about Refrain. Hell when you start EX in the VN it's pretty much flashing warning messages that you should under no circumstances activate the new routes before you've finished Refrain.

Well I went in anyway despite your warning. But if you say the next episode will make no sense then I'll heed it. This series doesn't come out in a schedule I'm used to, so I'll probably forget about it by the time the next episode comes out anyway, at least until I'm done with the main series.

Hurray for more time rewinding! I love the resets.

Dat fanservice, really uneeded. When Riki said that he met her in the past, does this mean before the reset or during childhood... I want to know! But no spoilers... lol

Dat commercial break card thingy image, was a good place to put some fan service.

Dat preview of Riki crying, guessing that he learned that she was resetting?

Dat dats, sorry for the dats.
I believe that unless you know for sure that you don't like a concept, you should keep exploring it. Whether it be characteristics of people or a genre of some sort, you never know if you don't like it until you've seen quality work corresponding to that genre. Keep exploring until you've found something you enjoy, or something of quality. Then you know what's bad, what's good, and what isn't for you.
