| Dunno how to feel about this episode. Previous were usually decent but now... They changed my favourite Haruka's route scene! My memory is pretty blank about many events of LB! game, but I remembered everything about this one - hell, I've been loooking forward to this! Still remember two Haruka's, both acting like - it's me! No, it's me, Riki-kun! both with shocked faces, so the player didn't have a clue what's is going on there. Now they made Kanata acting like Haruka for, I don't kniw, about 10 seconds? And after that she has that 'just according to my plan' face, and Midori-like smile. And no rain scene after that! Which fitted ti that scene in the novel so much. Why, WHY. I'm not even talking about not visiting Haruka's house. Which was one of more important scenes after all. Not even mentioning cell phone cg or cleaning the floor cg. Anyway - I'm rather dissappointed :( |

I've seen many comments saying her route should be left for the 2nd season, but I disagree. I think her route should be the last one of the 1st season, somewhat connecting both. The question is if there'll be time to do so. This should be on the Anime - VN discussion thread. Anyway, Episode 18: Haruka's ending arc. Episode 19-21(Or 22 for obvious reasons): Assume this will be Kud's arc or Kud's arc contains 3(Or 4) episodes. And we have 5(Or 4) episodes remaining so what we can only do is to assume what are they going to do on those remaining episodes. -- If this is a double post, blame the fucking MAL lag. Mmmmm... I watched Ep.18 preview and it looks like Haruka´s arc will have finally 4 episodes... I´m not 100% sure, but it looks like that will happen... |

Well, i would like so much see a family ending (and start crying like a motherf*cker), but well, if we `ll get a non-emotive friendship ending, J.C will have done it: They´ll have pooped the best arc in the serie until now (for me)... Or maybe not, but we´ll know it this saturday. |

| Looking forward for "brilliant" adaptation of last 3 routes, Kengo episode, baseball match and refrain from JCStaff. 18 ep - end of Haruka route, therefore on everything what I've listed they've got 8 (!!!!!!) episodes! |

| why are people still thinking JC is going to shove refrain into season 1... |

Funya-Usagi said: why are people still thinking JC is going to shove refrain into season 1... Because most people here aren't as active as we are, showing up once a week at most, reading like 5 posts, making 1 or 2 then repeating the cycle. Since they didn't read the news or discussions here... well, without proper information, you can conclude pretty much anything ^^ |
 |
| Wow. Just wow! This episode is amazing. When Kanata disguised herself as Haruka, they really, really do look alike that it's hard to believe that they came from different fathers. They're more like came from one father. Of course it's not just about those two being twins is amazing. I feel that Haruka is really blessed with a lot of good friends to help and back her up. I also wonder, why Kanata is also surprise of Riki dropping that chiffon cake of the floor and saying 'do you like me' all of a sudden. It would be fun to see Haruka disguised as Kanata to fool everyone. Anyway, looks like Haruka's arc will finally conclude next episode. |

| mfw they add a ton of backstory left out in Haruka's route, add more to the situation with Futaki and Haruka, elaborate on the family customs, and include the Seriously, if it wasn't for the execution of that last point in the episode, I would be ok with this story, since it was extremely long in the VN. I admit Haruka's only at the top of my hilarious best female friend tier. (I think it's obvious who's at the top of my waifu tier list) |

| I am still playing the visual novel, but Haruka route is similar to Kyou route in Clannad but opposite. Instead of caring their sister, we have hatred (Of course, don't quote me on this) |

 |
| I guess Futaki got some contact lenses, because her eyes are a different colour from Haruka's, but now both of them have blue eyes. I'm wondering if maybe this means that Futaki's father is Saigusa, but that's just speculation, since obviously I'll have to wait until the next episode to see what this is all about. |
| Amazing ep! It may be the most gripping yet, I was glued to the screen throughout and I don't think that's happened previously. This is more along the lines of what I expected of this show. Bloodline mysteries are always interesting to me. I'm enjoying Saigusa's arc much more than the rest so far. |
| What an evil smile. I really think both are suffering, gl Riki. |
 |
| So I guess a paternity test isn't a thing in Little Busters. |
| Well, that ending was a little bit meaningless when she wasn't dressed as her in any of previous scenes but otherwise this ep was good. |
| This was the best episode so far imo, faith in J.C. Staff restored! I was amazed by this but, unfortunately, I didn't get that emotional. I'm really looking forward to more now. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Hm... I wasn't a fan of Haruka just completely telling everyone about her past. It's usually more elegant if done through flashbacks; the old 'show, don't tell'. I'm really getting the idea that the visual novel is much better, so I'll probably play it once I get my new computer (running both Mac OS X and Windows). |

| Great development on this chapter, some really interesting this, I especially loved that twisted ending, I do wonder why she did that, lets find out next! |
 |
| The ending was like wtf, was this her first time or did we actually see Kanata sometimes? Damn, Haruka's past is really sad, I can't stand seeing that poor, little and young Haruka ;_; So the girl with the bruises was Kanata after all. At least I think that's what Kud saw. I wonder if she actually wanted to help Haruka in a way, by taking beating herself as well. So I heard they pretty much changed most of Haruka's route? That's a shame :( This is already kind of intense, so I can't imagine how intense that would be. Haruka snapping multiple times and going yandere :O I can't compare, but this is pretty good so far though. |

| New best episode yet. Very emotional and pretty well done. |
 |
| damn kanata is so evil now -_- everybody talking about the rain scene.. I think it is really dramatic XD next episode.. I'm really curious about this ! |
| Fuck you Futaki Kanata, bitch. |
| Man, it is getting super serious now. |
 |
| 4/5 Mah! Interesting episode, I find that some things are a little crazy but in other speech Saigusa can also spin. It seems a little too lacking in impact in the first part of the narrative, but then it takes me really. The fact that it does not prepare what you see is the biggest mistake that has made the series unappetizing, but this time is better. The fact of having two fathers we can be, but how can they be twins? From what we see shows that are homozygous twins, but that has not been said ... oh! I have read on the web if such a thing is possible. Drawings not bad, interesting finish! * _ * |
 |
| LOL Why do I have a feeling that this is more complicated than it looks? Maybe Futaki is actually Haruka and Haruka is actually Futaki? o.O Somewhat like Higurashi? |

| Wow, what an interesting episode! This arc is slowly starting to be my favorite of the series. I feel soo sorry for Haruka suffering from all this. Futaki should just die in the pits of hell! What a heartless bitch! |
 |
| Woah, that episode have gone full evil. That family is evil. Futaki plan to copy her sister is fucked up. Everything is fucked up. Anyway, that family look damn awful. It sound a bit like that family in Hirugashi (you know which one I'm talking about if you've seen the show). Those caste systems are so wrong... I honestly didn't knew that when two people slept with one girl, they could both have babies born as twins... But how is it possible to know which one is from who?! That's what I don't get. Like I thought, it wasn't Futaki who distributed the pamphlets. Kud have obviously saw Futaki scars when she got out of the shower. Maybe she'll tell the other Little Busters and it will bring them a little closer to the truth. |

| Best episode yet! This is key! Twins from different fathers? Is that possible?... Just googled it and yeah that's a thing. It's called heteropaternal superfecundation. Wow. That's amazing. haruka has a tough past. Jeez. It also looks like Kanata has it tough too. She's got bruises all over! That twist at the end. Kanata dressed as Haruka. I didn't even noticed. Onto the next episode. |
| Twins from different fathers ? is that even possible ? nvm the guy behind me answered my question lol |
| I was wondering the same as above but glad it got answered It felt a bit odd since they went from im k and happy mood to im sad again mood.. Up and down up and down. Im curious about kanata now and why she just did this.. A bit rushed but thats ok to me at least since i dont like it to be too dragged on but some scenes could use some extension like the scenes about her past. |
 |
| i'm so glad i haven't played the VN so i can whine like most of you people...wtf. It was a great episode...and that school leader is evil and ingenious, i think we all know who's her daddy, haha 5/5 and that was Maeda finally getting to his great side of writing |

| holy Kanata wants Riki's D lol |
 |
| Dam sad life that both of them have. I hope both of them find happiness. Why did Futaki disguise herself at the end(pretty sure she wore blue contacts). |
| That was a sad backstory... That trick at the end was just horrible. |
 |
| The drama episodes really are not even almost as good as the comedy episodes. |
| So, Futaki is Haruka and Haruka is futaki, shit |
| Haruka really had a cruel fate ever since she had a child sadly she was the one who has to embrace all of it Gladly the Little Busters is there to accompany her in these dark times, So she confronted one of her assumed father about who is their actual daughter but they thought that it would be better if she didn't know Kanata doesn't get treated as well as I expected, they had a little conflict when Riki and Kanata talked little bit, what is Kanata up to now this time. |
