THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
A short 4 mins episode of Key's crossover series, this brings immense nostalgia.

Of course, what's of respect if this isn't done in Kyoto (because of most of Key's work attached to KyoAni, except Little Busters (by J.C.Staff), Rewrite (by 8bit) and Planetarian (by DavidPro)), it was really nice to see Liden Films winging this short through their Kyoto studio counterpart.

Definitely VERY nostalgic to see the chibi characters of Planetarium, Little Busters, Clannad, Air, Kanon and Rewrite act out their parts (which for newcomers, please DO NOT watch this short lest you wanna get spoiled).

Oh my gawd I lovin' this.

Semi glad it's. Short episode series. Albeit 4th one that's airing this season (after Deji, Tawawa and Douki-chan). I find it kind of nice that a Kyoto based studio is animating it, seeing as KyoAni animated about half of the full versions of the crossover shows.

Now all I need to do is finish work and watch the show.

Goddamnit these are all the emotional scenes from their respective stories eh, I've only played Little Busters, Clannad and Planetarium but waiting for Rewrite+ to come out on Steam by the end of the year

The three dorks of Masato, Kengo and Kyousuke not wanting to let go of Riki to Rin... priceless

Watching this feels weird...I know I'm not gonna spoiled that much going in to this, but seeing Clannad's scene makes me think the other way (and yeah that's the only one I've watched beforehand so far).

Feels like a wacky weekly anime for me to watch as a buffer in-between shows, so I'll be on board to watch this (if it means getting direct references from those shows). And yes in this year of 2021, we get the nostalgic continuations of Higurashi, InuYasha (Yashahime), and the ensemble of shows that we have here, feels like a nice trivia for this year to be remembered in the future.

Man, hearing Clannad's, Air's and Kanon's music again hit me in a certain place around my chest. I don't care if this is Chibi or turns out terrible, Key's stuff deserves my watch.

Altough I got spoiled for Little Busters thanks to the episode, I'm glad this suddenly came into my 'Airing Today' notification. Good to see these characters without getting depressed ._.

Aaaah, the walk scene from Air was just too brutal;_; Still, hilarious to see a parody of it xD

This was a very nice start for this ambitious crossover short. Can pretty much watch everything without getting spoiled as well. Only gotta skip the Rewrite part.

As a guy that's not rated a single Key anime more than 2 and I've seen most of them from what I recall (and have ranted a lot in the past about Key and Jun Maeda being one of the worst writers I've come across with multiple works), feels like a very weird experience getting a compilation like this for a series. It's nostalgic but in the reverse manner, but hey, at least I'll take a few minutes of just this than watching the actual shows again fully, that's for sure.

Yea, way to kill the empathic sequences I remember from these shows (I only liked Little Busters, tbf) with these shitty chibi parody jokes. I'm mixed with Key and Jun Maeda, personally, but this feels disrespectful, if anything, even if the initial intentions of the crossover were not inherently bad.
Quickest drop this season for me barring Tesla Note.

Really liked this a lot as a massive key VN fan, laughed the whole way through, thought the kanon and little busters parts were the funniest. I thought it was going to be longer episodes but I'm not disappointed.
I wonder just how many people will watch this though, as immediately showing scenes from the endings puts me off showing or recommending this to anyone I know. (Like I have a buddy who has seen clannad, but not the others.) Oh well. Hope it does great.

This is just a guess, but I think they're only showing the Key works that came from a Visual Novel. Those 3 are anime originals

at first can see ushio chan again. but unfortunately not getting the dialogue.

And what's really sad is that the anime only lasts 4 minutes. I think anime duration will be the same as the isekai quartet

What a love letter to Key fans this episode was, just comedically riffing on each VN's emotional climax (well, I assume that's what the Rewrite stuff was, but having not read it after the anime sucked I don't know for sure) with some fantastic comedic timing. Nice little gag about the shared voice actress between Kanon and Little Busters as well.

Miss these Key's animes. They are the animes that I grew up with. They made me laughed, cried, and fall in love with their magic. Those dramatic scenes bring so much nostalgia when I first cried with it. The Little Busters, Air, and Kanon part were so hilarious. Can't wait for the next episodes. 5/5.

These were the best 4 anime minutes in a looong time.

Kinda big ass spoilerfest, but yeah, what did you expect. Characters of multiple series doing nothing that has to do with the stories?
If people are getting spoiled they should probably consider the risks first lol.

Also, Tomoyo After finally made it into an anime :>
