Except the sudden "Slow Curve" BGM which spoiled the mood in the baseball clubroom scene, I think this episode was finely done with good animation - really fluid first-half.

Actually, I haven't watch the episode yet. But then, the rain scene would be on the very first part on the next episode so it wasn't hinted in the next episode preview.

maybe they'll put it somewhere else but the preview clearly showed that it was broad daylight.

just watch the episode and report back, it's extremely different from the original

According to the episode descriptions, the rain scene is ep 18 and then we'll most likely get our conclusion episode 19.

But in all seriousness, obviously the rain scene will be on episode 18.


Whether the next episode preview will be all about broad daylight or not. Besides, it's just only a preview so it doesn't affect me because of the contents about episode 18.

This is sort of my impression after reading through that. I'm assuming it will take place in episode 18 and maybe episode 19 to conclude the arc as the description doesn't seem to look like a definite finish for the arc.

just a heads up, this route changed up pretty much all the Riki/Haruka development.

there isnt really any more kanata bullying, or pissed off haruka
theres no headphone scene
no house visit scene
in fact there is never a scene where Riki is alone with Haruka
they changed the scene in the classroom with yandere mode haruka to friendship talk

the reason why i don't think theyre going to do the rain scene is because it'd feel out of place by the way they've been doing this so far. Especially since this episode ended with Kanata already being found out that she's disguised herself, they wouldn't start an episode with the rain scene right away. it'd be weird.. which is why they changed it around to include some sort of friendship retaliation with the group.

it's really, really different but w/e i guess it works somewhat and developing friendship is never really that bad.. just don't classify this as haruka's route.

After watching the next episode preview, I can tell that they'll have the rain scene. Look carefully at some of the shots and you'll see one of Riki, completely wet. Also note that in the VN it wasn't raining from the start. It began raining after Haruka found out that Kanata was impersonating her.

After watching the episode I must agree it was quite different, but it was still good :D same as i said about last weeks episode, you gotta enjoy Little Busters anime as it's own thing :)

Seems like they really are trying to make Kanata not look so bad for when they eventually do her route :O and the next episode preview, now i think this will just be 3 eps :/

They keep pulling emotional faces/reactions(I.E. Riki's emotional reaction while listening to Haruka about her past) to call it a drama(Had the same feeling on Chuunibyou) and it's not a good thing.

Also, I LOL'ed when Rin suddenly ran about 0.5 second gap after Haruka ran. I was like 'Huh? HUH? LOL.'

But then again, we heard the bullshit Air-like OST once again on this episode. Couldn't help myself to facepalm.

yea the running scene was incredibly awkward LOL.

what i don't get is, why are they watering down the drama so much.. why don't they just go balls out with the tears and screaming?



even if there is the rain scene, they're not going to include that part and i don't rly remember much else besides that moment.

Can you guys all comprehend Japanese? ;_;
I wasn't under the impression that Sa-chan could speak it.

I was really looking forward to the Cake switcheroo from the Visual Novel, but I'm not sure what the new plot is even going to be lol.

LB is still entertaining, I'll settle. I'm more interested in Little Busters than the other 18 ongoing anime I started watching from Fall and Winter, so whatever. All the other shows are like herp I've seen this >9000 times except for Jojo.

Not that I could comprehend Japanese but I can easily read atmospheres so that's why I was able to understand most of the scenes on Sasami's, Kanata's(Though barely), and Saya's path.

You discuss some things on here as well as if you had been able to understand the Japanese.

I would say one should not comment an episode, at least not without some disclaimer, unless you actually understand the dialogues. Otherwise it would not be fair, neither to the anime nor to the readers who read the comments. I would say any claim of understanding a scene without understanding the language spoken should at least be qualified, otherwise people would just doubt how much is really being understood.

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Yeah, I think if you read the VN (especially if you read it recently) and know the events, then you could probably understand the goal of 90% of the dialogues without knowing the individual words.

I can't even find a raw on nyaa.eu. I don't remember the site people go to to watch it on Japanese stream early, and I usually just wait for subs so I don't have to rewatch it. I'm trying to work on my VN and Manga backlog.

Perhaps, depending on how much of the anime sticks to the VN. My point is just that it is better to be a bit more cautious when commenting on an episode without understanding the dialogues spoken there. At least some disclaimer saying that comments are being made without understanding the dialogues would be helpful.
