Tomoe Tamiyasu already posted about a month ago on her blog that it was airing in October. Not really news.

That's not an official announcement.

This is your chance, J.C Staff.


Really looking forward to this! Heard so much good about Little busters, although i don't know anything that will happen. But all i know its written by Key, should be epic.

What I'm expecting is that people will trashing LB! Anime because in the beginning it's just silly fun, when it's also EXACTLY just a silly fun story in the beginning of the VN.

Don't know how they can adapt the minigames and other lolwut moments, but I hope they can deliver the funny moments in the VN, since it's totally funny (although really silly sometimes)

This is going to be so incredibly bad. The trailer basically confirms that Refrain won't have its own season (like After Story in Clannad did), so if JC wants to mash this entire novel into a no-more-than-26-episodes season, there is no hope.

Also, them charadesigns. Just plain awful.

YEAH! I'm dying to see it. Though... I'm starting to be worried about it for a bit.
If they are going to ruin my favourite visual novel, they are so much dead!
And damn, Yui Horie as Riki? As much as I love her, I'd prefer seiyuu to be a man... Not sure if I'll like it when Riki will sound like Mizuho from Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru...
Well, doesn't matter, my hopes are big, can't wait for October!

Interesting choice to have Horie Yui as Riki. I loved the visual novel, but I'm not going to keep my expectations really high. It's almost for sure that it won't live up to most people's expectations, but all we can do is sit back, wait, and enjoy the show when it comes out.
Check out my list here. That's the Brigade Chief's orders!

It looks like she's trying out male characters because she's also doing this male character (I heard from a previous version of announcement that Miyu Irino's doing his voice for drama CD, but it turns out wrong...), too for Fall 2012.

People just like to assume it's going to be shit since it's J.C. This is going to get so much hate on it from a lot of VN readers if it doesn't flawlessly follow everything that happened in the VN, only because it's J.C. doing it.

Uh... It's been said before and it'll be said a thousand more: J.C. Staff has a record not just for plain awful anime, but noteworthy awful adaptations in particular. They have a clear track record. The fear is completely founded with plenty of proof of their prior "endeavors."

You make it sound like toradora was a good anime :')

The only great adaptions JC staff ever did were azumanga daioh (which takes us back how many years?) and Nodame Cantabile and H&C.


Don't forget how JC staff also butchered Shingetsutan Tsukihime.

Toradora IS a good anime, and J.C Staff have done other good anime.
I'm sure this will be good.


If you don't like J.C Staff, don't watch the Little Busters anime. Its VERY simple. Kthx

Toradora is a good anime. Though their performance has nothing to do with LB because it is not their A-Team or B-Team that is working on this show.

Guys, I want to make a question.
I never played VNs, so I don't know how is Little Busters style. So tell me: is LB style similar to Angel Beats!? I mean, everytime I read about LB I get a feeling similar to the one of Angel Beats!.

If you could answer me, I'll be grateful.
And yeah, I really want to play LB soon.

Little Busters and Angel Beats! were written by the same people.

And they are very, very similar.


Both from Key, right?
Now I'm f*cking hyped for this. Can't help, even knowing it's from JC Staff.
But well, the new trailer looks good. And JC made Toradora, so I can give them some trust.

Yui Horie for Riki? Who the fuck thought she'd be good for Riki's role? She couldn't even play Hazumu in Kashimashi properly... whatever...

Fuck this shit. Seriously. They are going to cramp all routes including Refrain in the anime? I can't even imagine how they will adapt Refrain, if they are doing all routes. All I can see now is that this looks like shit.



They will be concentrating more on the heroine routes than Refrain. Which is sad, because the heroine routes in LB! are mediocre at best. I hate Haruka from the heart and her route was the worst piece of shit Key ever produced in it's visual novels. And of course...



But my greatest regret is that we won't get to see Refrain adapted properly. Now I know J.C Staff can't pull it off.

That's not exactly true. Jun only wrote Rin and Refrain, while other people wrote the other girls routes.

Still, it's not fair to just assume that the entire anime will be terrible because of it. I'm not familiar with any of the source material of their adaptions, but I do know that they have been criticized a lot for these. It's okay to be nervous about the adaption, but to just deem it off as "it's going to be shit" like some people have/are before even airing is pretty unfair to the anime itself.

I'll admit, I'm a bit worried myself about how this'll turn out considering my own bad experiences with them (Ano Natsu, Zero no Tsukaima, etc.) but all the intense hate on the adaption already is just, well stupid in my opinion.

People, just because they showed a scene from Refrain in the PV does not mean that everything will be smushed together in one season.

I'm pretty sure this PV doesn't even have actual episode footage and is pretty much just an animated version of the opening. I mean, the Clannad opening showed Ushio running through the flowers and she didn't show up until near the end of After Story.

And Key already stated on Twitter that the length of the series will be significantly long.

I know the souce material. The filler arcs/routes are badly written and they will take up 80% time of the whole show IF they are going to be adapted - and according to the last trailer they will be adapted. And they'll have to rush the best and longest part of the story. They could have easily discarded some routes, like they did in Clannad S1.

But there will be no season 2, so Refrain will have to fit in this + all routes. It's going to be fucking rushed.
