First episode is out in full now!

That was awesome. Saya is such a cutie :3
The way she pushes off Riki surprised me somewhat. Thank God Masato saved him there though. Can't believe she even followed Riki to his room though lol. Dat cliffhanger..

Anyways, not bad. I'm looking forward to the next episode.

That quality Riki face is back!
It feels really nice seeing LB! again after Refrain ended...
After rewatching the ending, yeah, I like it. It just feels weird seeing visuals after listening to Waking Up in the Morning With You multiple times.

I died... I just can't take the cuteness of Saya <3

Anyways, nice episode I guess? I didn't even care how they adapted this first segment, I guess I don't expect much from JC from this point XD

I really love how Saya threatened recruited Riki lol. Geemu sutato!!!!

Nice ED too. But I feel cheated. I didn't expect they'll use Mezameta Asa ni wa Kimi ga Tonari ni here instead haha.

Dat nude Saya is wallpaper material! hnnng <3

This episode is just awesome, I always want to read Little Buster ! EX VN but very slow speed.
I guess I just have it open the whole day.

Tokido Saya is so cute and I like her personality too. I want to play her route and Kanata. :D
Saya couldn't get this far without Riki. :)

A gun is pointing at Saya " You better save her Riki "

yay new version of S1 op i'm liking it but i'm feeling slightly like a anime viewer since from the time i read the VN i never got to read EX since it wasn't translated so i can't tell how faithful this will be but i'm glad the quality is decent still

Plus side of things all new stuff for me hell they might add in some of the fun events downside i have to wait a month for each episode..

Did I just watch Angel Beats? The shadows being former students. A girl with a gun shooting at them. Riki and Saya going into a dungeon to get a treasure (like how Yuri went to Guild underneath the school).

Well at least it was fun to watch. I love Saya's personality and how she "dug her own grave". And also when she leaves Riki's room looking cool and then comes back to Riki and force him to team up with her was funny. My only concern is that it releases only once a month. That's too long!

That muscle dance in the OP was so funny. And also Saya's nude photo is sooo sexy.

Oh and how can Kengo's shinai cut a rope?

Decent start. Saya seems like the entertaining type of character. Obviously she isn't really from some intelligence agency. And naturally, Kyousuke knows more than he's letting on. I've heard good things about the ending (Apparently Jun Maeda had balls while he was writing this), so I look forward to the rest.

Just watched the episode and a great start of the OVA, wonder if JC Staff can pull it off for 8 episodes of the 3 heroines... But it was a great start for Saya's route.

Well two things happen in here, is that Executive of Darkness is targeting Saya and Riki, and Saya is finding a "treasure" somewhere in the school building.

Good episode, Saya seems like a likable character, wonder how they will finished it off for her route.

So far I have No Complaints in the Animated Episode.

Its good to see Saya back since i finished the Novel a few months ago,Because of the episode i might Restart Playing the 3 heroines Route In order for me to remember what was in there Since i practically forgot most of it.

Nevertheless the episode was Nice,Though another month of Waiting will be.....Long.

So Saya is a pretty aggressive girl that carries around an m1911 to kill shadow agents.
It seems interesting in a way the question is what's the reason behind the agents and what is the reason behind her quest to find this so called treasure.
And is it really as simple as it sounds.
But for now it seems ok.

So this explains the ghosts in the school when LB went on that episode. ( Kyouske's crow)

Saya's route continues from that point then? But before Mio's route.

Does Kanata's route take place after Saigusa's route then?

Not sure about Sasami though.

Saya's route takes place before Refrain. On this anime, probably or most likely Riki haven't recruit the other heroines.

Sasami's route takes place after Refrain.

Kanata's route... first half of her route is before Refrain(I'm pretty sure Little Busters should be created) and second half of her route is after Refrain.

To ultimately answer the question, because I bet many people will ask this, jot down this simple note:

Saya's route = Before Refrain. Heck, after Riki recruit all girls to complete Little Busters without solving any of the girls' problems.

Sasami's route = After Refrain.

Kanata's route = 3/4 of her story is before Refrain and the last 1/4 is after Refrain. (Yes this is confusing)


So yeah, at the very least, Sasami's and Kanata's routes have something to do with the story since they're after Refrain(And based on how their stories go) but of course, like the other heroines' routes, they have their own problems(This includes Saya's too) and Riki must do something.

Anyway, it heavily depends on how the anime adaptation will go but this is how it really goes on the VN.

In the vn, Riki can choose to pick up the notebook on the 3rd day; it's before he recruits the girls. But knowing how the anime placed hidden resets after each character route, who knows when exactly Saya's route happened.
I'm randomly guessing that it's after the OVA episode though. The random Sayas in the OVA means that she hasn't

But the thing is, Kyousuke didn't mention anything about the Little Busters when he warned Riki to stay away from Darkness Executives(He only mentioned Rin).
