Well its taking too fricking long for anything to happen, That applies also to all of Key works(Clannad, Kanon, Air). The difference is LB's beginning is longer than the 3. |

We're talking about a game made in 2007, sold millions of copy, and just about every person in Japan who is into VN has read it. came out in 2 other versions EX and ME, in addition launched an After game. I think Key made all the money they want with LB already. So what if the anime targets mostly Veteran Readers, They already targeted the majority of intended viewers (which are in Japan and read the VN already anyways) Besides people nowadays would just torrent the VN in English patch anyways, so no sales there either. |

| This adaptation reeks of averageness. It doesn't have the VN feel at all, not sure if I'm enjoying it or not. |
JavierR said: Little Busters has a huge cast, of course its gonna take a few episodes to introduce all of them, I feel like im the only patient anime only guy here. True. So that means I can see how many impatient people here. |

JavierR said: blasterion said: We have anime-only watchers here? I thought they all dropped the series by now because lol characters are retarded or lol komari voice annoying stop assuming that, last thread we established that we're always lurking. ^ that, as someone said in the last episode thread... and also said that just because the droppers are really loud, and the whiners are really loud |

And honestly if look at anime only Clannad was better, so far tho... I compare characters all the time.Especially with stuff like this that has the same people behind it(Key). For me, LB's cast was way more memorable than Clannad's and they were all likeable in some way or form(yes, even Kanata and Komari). Hell, a big part of what makes Refrain so good is seeing those characters you love suffering and having their friendship go through a rough time.It wouldn't have been nearly as good if the viewer wasn't connected to them. I can't pick a character I flat out hate like in Clannad, therefore the cast is better for me.The 4 childhood friends are the highlight of the show(or atleast the vn) imo. While Clannad has annoying girl Fuuko who is really hard to like, Kyou who is a textbook tsundere, Kotomi who is kinda retarded but at least cute, Sunohara who's pretty much the punching bag(Masato is way better at this role than he is), Nagisa who is pretty ok but not that great of a lead heroine(Rin and Ayu from Kanon are better), Tomoyo who is cool but a bit too perfect, Ryou who has the exact same personality as Nagisa and isn't memorable at all and Tomoya who is the usual skeptical Key main character(not that I dislike him, I just enjoyed that they got out of their comfort zone with Riki for once). In the end, LB's cast had a way bigger impression on me.I watched Clannad back in February which wasn't that long ago and I didn't feel the best part of it was the characters like with LB. I've forgotten most of what made them appealing when it hasn't even been a year yet. I do agree about the Clannad anime being better than this at this point. And I think exactly the opposite xD I liked all characters in LB, yet I loved every character in Clannad xD I just think those two bring different emotions and that's why those can't be compared, people can just give personal opinions :D They simply deal with different theme. That's all I wanted to say xD All the characters in Clannad experience different situations than Little busters characters which is how it's suppose to be to connect with many people out there (and vice-versa, i notice a few people mentioned something similar happened to them that happened to komari so they really understood her in the anime) so i agree with akutasame94, honestly don't like comparing the two like that... |

Yvese said: Telling anime-only viewers to stick around until refrain isn't very reassuring. If something fails to hook in viewers early on, chances are you've already lost them before it "gets good". Indeed, unfortunately it's true. Well, I wasn't really expecting most of the people will get hook straight ahead on the beginning. It really depends of them if they're patient. |
|
| The art in this episode was bad even for LB standard! I'm still not a fan of the humour of this show, they are really trying hard, but they failed to even make me smile, but Masato is slowly growing on me as a character, He is probably the only one I care about. I'll wait, but so far, this anime hasn't done anything really special. |

You have to remember that many people still like the drama in the heroine routes route so in a way, they can also be counted as epic stuff. ;) |
| You were eaten by the eel pie instead |
| i actually dont like the way theyre introducing the members either. they should have done it like clannad. cuz thats how it was in visual novel. riki met and interacted with each girl a little bit each day. the anime throws a character in for a whole episode which is.. pretty unnatural. Riki, even though he's different from all of key's protagonists still had a cynical realistic personality like the others where as in the anime hes more of an idealistic. this riki in the anime actually feels completely different from the one i depicted in the vn. he doesnt even feel like the main characte. in the anime we never see how riki gets himself into a situation.. its always just a sudden jump straight into one, while in clannad we ALWAYS see things through tomoyas perspective. basically little busters was supposed to be much more similar to clannad than what is shown here. Yoshiki/jc staff messed up and ended up with something that isnt terrible but also nothing great. either way a 1 to 1 adaptation of refrain will be amazing no matter what. and even though some things are different. major plot points are still there in the current adaptation which is enough to depict refrains epicness. if refrain sucks then.. ima suck my own dick |

The beginning is seriously boring as hell. But the only tip that I can give the anime only viewers is that, this show has similar pacing to Steins;Gate(I may doubt that because it depends how JC Staff will adapt this series). It starts too slow then things will get interesting afterwards. |

| Not good, not good. It's still quite boring, and the throwing-items-for-weapons gimmick is getting old. Haruka is an ok character though. |
ohmystars said: Not good, not good. It's still quite boring, and the throwing-items-for-weapons gimmick is getting old. Haruka is an ok character though. Drop it then because throwing weapons is going to stay in the show until it ends, It's one of the main things that you do in the Visual Novel. I swear all I hear from this forum aside from the animation is crying about how the show is going so slowly, oh please. Go watch Clannad, it's so fucking slow also, and doesn't get good until After story. /rant |
 |
| lol most people who are complaining about the slow pacing haven't even seen clannad. |
