I wonder how they will handle the transition into refrain with out completely spoiling the entire thing. When you play the VN you have no idea about the repetition because of how it is structured. An anime that loops back on its self would make it too obvious that that is what is going on.

I guess its possible that they would skip some of the events as they have for the other heroin routes but there are some that i dont think could be omitted for the sake of the character shift portions.

I'm pretty sure it's just going to have a blatant loop at the end of Rin's route.
I mean... Kurugaya

There are plenty of hints in the VN that the world is looping particularly in Rin 1 and Kurugaya's route and at least I reached that conclusion very early in Refrain when Kyousuke admits its his fault about Rin.

This.
I already thought it was pretty obvious when I reached Refrain. Kurugaya's, Rin1's and Rin2's endings all show that. Even Kud's route hinted at it at some point (the anime also did a major hint in Kud's route, though not at the same place/time).

Ep 4 is titled "Riki and Rin".
Rita confirmed 26 episodes on her twitter, since she knows the episode count after having had her songs used towards the end of the anime.
1 cour would be a failure, and I don't even think Key would've allowed for the best parts of Little Busters to be adapted in less than 1 cour. (1 cour minus 3 Kurugaya episodes)

This will most likely be the case.

Ofc all the routes had hints to the true nature of the story but they didnt outright give it away. What im saying is if they decide that at the end of rin 2 lets loop things back to the start, people will realize that rin was affected by rin 2 etc etc etc. Even with the way they are doing Kurugaya's route atm, they seem to have made it so that all the memory lapses and backwards loops are already finished to cover things up for the anime viewers.
