So I saw the first episode of Refrain and just like everyone thought it jumps right into Kurugaya's route. Really hoping it's still 20 or more episodes though. Anyone else see it yet? If so what do you think?

Was 10 minutes all that was going to be shown? I got kicked off the internet during the "intermission" so I wouldn't know. And yeah I really liked that OP as well.

Around 30 minutes.

Yeah, my session got cut when the Voice actors were playing with that cool baseball thing backstage... As long as I didn't miss any refrain I'm happy.

Yeah i think you only missed the live ED song. I really liked it and I know I am going to cry when it plays.
That baseball game looked fun, I'm trying to find it lol. I think someone broke it backstage though xD

I keep laughing at the random sparkling tree hahaha. I like how we were all so hyped we forgot to mention mio's original voice LOL. Having played the VN, I completely forgot to pay attention, guess that means her voice is as good as the VN.

The OP looks amazing and the animation looks a lot smoother. I can't wait until tomorrow when I can see the rest of it. JC Staff restored my faith in them, even if it was just a tiny bit.

Reminder that you can catch the first half of the episode here: http://www.twitch.tv/shcboomer/c/3030799 at around 29 minutes in.

I mean, it's no Clannad, but I don't think it really matters once they reach a point where the show becomes overall enjoyable, believable, and understandable. I want to see how it looks tomorrow, because in the past, the comedy has never looked as good as the drama, so the animation ought to look pretty nice at this rate.

Just finished watching the first 10 minutes here as well. Decent OP song. Sounds like it's going well so far. LOL, Kyousuke and his fucking guitar.

The episode also made me a bit hungry.. I can't wait to see what's next though especially with that ending with Kurugaya~

After a bit of sleep to process what I've seen. I must say, for a live event the event was good and the episode preview was really good. It cut at the right time, showed what Refrain is about and still had the happy undertone of Little Busters!

This is looking really promising. Thanks for the uploads guys. shcboomer for the video and vlazd0r for the live videos. Been wanting to hear these songs forever.

Looks like the budget has gone up again. This might just redeem everything they did to the series in season one. My hopes are high.

And DeathDoUsPart took my damn avatar... Gotta find a new one now xD

First episodes tend to have bumped up quality though. Towards the middle of the show they might falter.

Here's hoping for the best..
