| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA OR VISUAL NOVEL BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well... damn! No Kud x Riki alone time with the studying so I suppose it will be like the others. But I guess it's still okay since Kud is still cute as hell. Not a bad first episode for her arc either, they had that study session going and the girls making fun of her too. Eagerly awaiting the better parts of Kud's arc. Edit: Also, switching back to my Kud sig while this arc is going. Wafu~ |

Alright, looks like Haruka's arc is over from last time so this episode was a refreshing watch. Watching Kud reading in class was cute as hell. I think the episode was okay overall. Oh and those three girls @ the tables pissed me off. Good thing Kurugaya came and Riki was there. Poor Kud ;.;. I'm glad she feels a bit better later this episode though! Wafu! |

| The start of the episode... :P Only Kud's theme was remixed? :O Would've loved to hear piano versions of other girls' themes. ... Anyway, I paid attention to the music placement this time around and it was... so bad LOL. The overall episode was okay though, I guess. :O |

| My head is spinning throughout the whole episode. And Will&Wish OST was totally out of place and they messed it up. But still, |

Funya-Usagi said: lol yea the start.. was the most blatant thing i've ever seen in my life LOL Masato looked so fucking smug right here I feel like I've seen this scene before... Mmm I'm watching it without subs but I don't know Japanese. I still get what's going on. I feel like the loss of romance (just for the moment, hopefully) being replaced with everyone in the Little Busters helping out was a good development. Everyone sticking up for Kud was pretty godlike in terms of friendship. Kud remix was cool. They need some more remixes like this. The soundtrack doesn't feel unique to the anime right now, it's mostly copied from the VN. This isn't a huge issue because I thought LB's VN music was exceptional, compared to something like Rewrite which feels more generic to me (personal opinion). |

| Arguably one of the best Little Busters episodes in terms of animation quality and storyboarding. I believe it's either post-Index Movie JC Staff or JC Staff is a bunch of lolicons. I'm going for the latter~ |

|
| I didn't understand a lot of the second half because I don't speak Japanese, but it seemed pretty good. I love the LB crew helping out with her studying and found it hilarious during some parts. Clear Weather After the Rain playing during the test? Lol didn't see why they did this. Um, can someone explain to me why towards the end of the episode why Kud was crying, and why she made up? I couldn't follow what happened, and why she ran away when Komari+Rin+etc. were looking for her, right before Riki caught up to her. |

| actually, kud placed her answers in the wrong answer boxes and realized it right at the end. Haruka is actually the one who got 85/100 but lied and said she also failed and had to take supplementary classes so kud wouldn't be alone. and they're getting really freaking good at baseball (that double play).. are they going to win? probably.. i'm just so used to losing against that GOD LIKE rival team also in the beginning where you hear all the girl's voices. could anyone make out what kurugaya said? it sounded really muffled |

| Oh yay, I'm glad that I'm not the only person that thought that the music placing is strange. In particular, I hated the placements of Will&Wish, Clear Weather after the rain instrumental, and maybe? Melancholy of a Troubled Girl. Very upsetting as the LB! track is amazing ]: And the art got strange during the last 1/2 to 1/3 of the episode T__T Well, I thought it was a decent episode overall though. I'm glad that they added the Foreigner thing and showed angry Kurugaya XD And for the baseball game, I had to reload the baseball match a dozen times during my first playthrough to win the game OTL |
 |
| I can't stop laughing how cute Kud was trying to say "prime minister" at the beginning. |
 |
| any idea what masato was holding in the beginning? Kind of looks like a baseball bat but not sure |

I never nitpicked some design faults to begin with but I can still point them out. Sure it could be kind of disturbing but getting rage at that is kinda childish on my point of view. Maybe that depends on our preferences, more or less. dizzyworld2 said: But Kud's arc will be stalled for the meantime on the next episode.

Talking about the next episode, I still don't understand why the staff choose to include one common route episode between Kud's arc. Unless they want to add something about Kud on it, the "break" would possibly make the pacing... weird. I dunno. Maybe they wanted a break with common route stuff so they can save budget for route episodes? |

But since the next episode will be 'romance-hinted' involve, probably because they're hinting us that they will finally use the romance elements in the future. |

Well, they probably thought it was fine seeing as the latest episode seemed kind of like a common route episode and there would be three Kud eps in a row. I guess you could count it sort of like a second intro ep for Kud. I mean, everyone seemed fine with ep 7 hinting Haruka's route but the route actually starting at ep 16. |

Yeah, but episode 7 wasn't actually part of Kud's route, when episode 19 was. There's a difference between hinting it and starting it. Why the break? No clue yet. |
| Okay, I don´t expect much from this episode, I think this will be only a introduction for Kud´s arc, or a Common Route episode... Let´s wait until 3 A.M... |

Episode 7 was pretty much part of Haruka's route. Episode 19 was about equal to that. It's setting the soil for the main plot of her route. I also feel that the reason for having the break there is to make the next 3 eps feel a little like a route considering all the other routes were 3 eps. It's probably to do with consistency so that anime viewers woul feel that this is more of a common route ep, which it really does feel like. |

True, if you're saying that scenes from the episode 07 were from Haruka's route in the VN. But the staff incorporated in the anime as a part of the common route, to make her character introduction easier. We just returned to Haruka story weeks after. Homever, the situation here seems different. We have no more introductions to do and they're clearly aiming to tell Kud's route now. That's why put a common route episode in middle of it seems questionable. |

Ah well, I guess that's what happens when you only do batting games for the first couple playthroughs. I'll have to go back and try it again sometime later. |
| Good episode IMO. Was quite well done, was nice to see the team help kud and even come to remedial class just for her. |
 |
| Highlight of the episode for me was when the entire team came to the remedial classes so Kud won't be alone. It was a good episode and Kud's Engrish is always adorable~ WAFU! It amazes me that she can easily learn complicated stuff yet struggles with the simpler things. :0 And Haru-chin was cool in this episode! :3 |
| Yep it's a Kud episode just look at that animation quality,agree with everyone on the sound director should be fired lol but it was a nice touch on when the whole team showed up in class :) but dat opening scene  |
 |
| The music placement was weird in this episode, especially Will & Wish. But the animation looks good. |
 |
| Wafuu!! good adaptation imho. |
| lolololol love kud's engrish next week looks to be the lovesick dude, so i guess the kud route is continuing afterwards i cant get over how hilarious it is every time rin cant pronounce sasasegawa's name xD |
