| Good episode It was fun. there are some funny moments that remind me of Clannad But the animation really bothered me. I hope It will get better JC staff did a good job, but I still prefer KyoAni especially for the visuals But overall I really liked it ^_^ |
| It felt like a filler episode to me for some reason. |

WatchGintama said: eh, this episode was just okay. BTW, is there a tsundere in this? Ya know, a long the lines of Kyou Fujibayashi The only one I can think is Sasasegawa Sasami but instead to Riki she is tsundere to Rin. |
| This made me really happy <3 It felt pretty faithful to the vn and Komari was just adorable! That said,though, the animation does bother me a bit. That one part where Kengo seemingly knocks Masato into a table without even hitting him was odd. |
WatchGintama said: eh, this episode was just okay. BTW, is there a tsundere in this? Ya know, a long the lines of Kyou Fujibayashi Tokido Saya seems like a tsundere to me, unfortunetly it's very unlikely she'll make her appearance. |
| I haven't played the VN of Little Busters-- Was busy instead with Rewrite. So, I am not very familiar. I liked the first episode. Surely, the production values were cheap, but I like the characters already. (Sasami annoyed me a bit, but that is all.) Seems like each episode will focus on one girl? Because the characters in LB are so many... |
| Looks interesting. Want to see more. |
 |
| Short thoughts as somebody who read the VN years ago: It was a decent first episode, certainly not as bad as some people claim and it at least disproves the concerns of the anime potentially being a massive disappointment. It does lack a certain degree of polish, though, and the art style feels a bit lacking and bland compared to the visual novel. I'm also not sure how to feel about the decision to reuse all the tracks from the visual novel, since it does feel a bit out of place during certain scenes. Still, the thing this adaptation should be commended for so far is its faithfulness to the source, which while rushed, gives across the same feeling that the visual novel did. There's some good potential here, and I'm interested to see how JC Staff will take the rest of the story and conclude things. Oh, and Rin is goddamn adorable like always. |
 |
| The first episode felt average. The comedy was a total miss. I'm hoping for something more in the next few episodes before dropping this. I remember reading an hour or 2 into the visual novel a year or two ago and also finding myself not being captured by it. I hope it gets better. |
| This has to be on the better side of the Slice of Life genres I have seen in awhile. Hopefully it doesn't let me down :) |
 |
| TBH guys I feel like this will not match Clannad in the end I know this is too early to tell, but Clannad's ost seems better to me and LB's Characters didn't feel as funny as Clannad's ( lol Sunohara XD ) |
SleepingEntity said: Wow...the opinions on LB are so ridiculously polar. You'd think we were talking about different animes altogether... I don't think I've seen a discussion this divided before "-_- I saw: discussions about Angel Beats!. Well, I was afraid of it. Little Busters topics will be full of opinions war. ._.' But well, I LOVED THE FIRST EPISODE! Really, is amazing to see all the characters animated, even with this low-budget animation. Their interactions are the best I ever saw in the Key works I know (Clannad, LB, Angel Beats!), and the cuts in the original source didn't felt bad. Little Busters began fast-paced, but I'm ok with that. About the OST, there were moments when the production didn't know exactly what to do with it: they shifted track too quickly. But most scenes fitted very well in the BGMs. And about the fights... I don't mind that they were left out. Really. Even with a better animation they would feel out of place in the anime adaptation - is the kind of thing that seems to work better in the VN structure for me. Also, their comedic timing was good. Sasami's voice is nice, though I still prefer the VN version. Yui Horie as Riki is AMAZING. Anyway, I enjoyed a lot - just wished the animation could be better. Then, let's hope the routes execution won't meet the so-feared adaptation problems. (P.s.: My English might not be so good xD) |
 "Like this too we met in a dirty and ugly world; Thank you for this miracle." |
| Got a good beginning, quite faithfull to the VN so far. Hope it's kept this way. 5/5 |
| Besides Kyousuke I'm not impressed with any characters so far, although some have the potential to become interesting. Overall this was a decent first episode for a show like this. A bit of decent dialogue here, some laughs there and a story where I'm still not sure where it's going. Are they really gonna stay with the baseball team stuff? I'd have to say I'm still undecided on this and I knew it wouldn't be my favorite kind of show, but keeping that in mind I'm at least not disappointed so far. Here's hoping that it keeps developing nicely. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| For being J.C. Staff the first ep was really well done. Definitely the best job they've done in my opinion. I haven't read the vn but the ep was really funny and even things that people have been commenting came directly from the game, just seemed to work, at least for me. |
| I also loved the fact that they incorporated the baseball mini game into the preview. |
 |
| Pretty good start. |
| A lot of people seem unsure of the direction Little Busters is going in. If you have no idea what happens in the VN, I'll say that it's somewhat similar to Clannad, in that it begins with slice-of-life comedy, goes into some sad stuff with the heroines, and then shit gets real later. |

| LITTLE BUSTERSSSSSSS!!! <333 |
  |
| I don't know but comedies in LB! didn't make me laugh like I did when I watched Clannad. The characters were somewhat forced to create comedies, instead of letting it flown naturally like Clannad. I still remember the first scene when Sunohara ran into the door way and begged Tomoya for help, then Tomoya was like:" Eh! I don't care", and he even made fun of him when shouted out loud to alert the senpais. That was priceless. |
| I haven't played the VN yet, so I don't know how faithful it is, but I really loved it so far, especially Kyousuke. :'D I think he's going to be my favourite character. Actually, earlier, when I visited the website before the anime aired, I looked at all of them and pretty much decided he would be XDD I love the others too. No one's whiny/annoying to me. Yet. Maede Jun, I have faith in you! |
| Didn't think we'd get to Komari until the next episode, but it still started out well. I loved how they kept the OST from the game and stayed original. Definitely looking forward to next week's episode. I wonder whose route will be first? |
| So this is the series this season that will be under a microscope due to hype huh? Well it was an enjoyable start, the animation wasn't nearly as bad as people told me it would be, tho that said it didn't have some bad parts but this is JC so i guess i should have reasonable expectations. I do like the character designs tho, and Kyosuke seems like an awesome character. Looking forward to seeing more of it :D |
 |
| Fuck Idc if its J.C Staff anymore. I just want the next episode T-T. Feel like playing my visual novel now, now that I can't click for episode 2 :@. I also Lol'd at all quotes because it was from the Visual Novel<3. Komari next week yay~ |

| Pretty happy with how this went -> especially the fact that they kept the OP from the orig. As many have said, it'll be hard the screw up if they stay along the VN |
 |
If you paid enough attention to every frames when watching, then there are hundreds like that in this episode. btw, that scene lasted for several second, not 0.1 sec. And tbh, you want me to dig all of them out ? Since you keep comparing this with AngelBeats, I just want to point out that you seems to missed many Angel Beats QUALITY thread when it's airing. |
| Sucks that the quality sucks. The episode was decent. And yay they kept the opening. Good reason to look forward to this every week. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
Iniser said: Glad to see Little Busters after reading the VN earlier this year. Happy that Kyosuke is still as random as before. And the character design looks much nicer than KyoAni's Key adaptations, or the original art. They kept all the music too! To bad the opening and ending themes aren't as good as the original. Good job JC Staff. I'll give you that. But I still don't like you for Index. No just no. |
|
| LOOOOOOOOOL Those quotes killed me xD |
| Thank god they fixed the horrendous grass in the OP! and I love the new remixes for the OP and ED. Hopefully Refrain gets its own season |
| So far for me JC did a good job. They manage to make it to my expectations. Let's see who's arc will go first maybe komari? |
| That was surprisingly fun to watch. May go through the VN after this finishes. |
| 9.28 dafuq? I was honestly a bit disappointed with this. I guess its hype got to me. The characters are pretty generic, and its setting is too. Let's see what they can do with this. Lots of early to mid 2000's humor going on, some made giggle, others not. It's a Key anime so I'm hoping for great things, but didn't really see it this episode :S It seems to me that it will eventuate in internal conflicts arising from them maturing and branching out into their different ways. The animation was just only a bit over mediocre :S First impression: 6.5 |

I don't think 6.5 is overly harsh :/ It's between fine and good according to the descriptions MAL has given us. Again, we're just judging the first episode, chill. |
| I barely got through the first ep. |
| Im one of the rare species to have no played the VN, so i have no idea what to expect. Really can't judge anything besides the animation because its the first episode, and truthfullly the animation fluctuates alot from good, to lackluster. |

| I think the visual quality could've been better. Or maybe it's because I'm such a GRAPHICS NAZI. (P.S: I did play the game 100%) |
| OVER rated first ep. Hoping it gets better |
| WOW!!! J.C. Staff did an AWESOME job for the first episode!!! They stayed true to the VN source material, even up to the given titles and the quoting scene lol. It's not KyoAni, but I'm hoping to see this turn out well all the way up to the end. VERY good start so far!!! |

| Finally got around to watching it, the full episode was better than I was expecting. I HATED Sasami's laugh. I don't even remember it in the VN, but it couldn't have been that god awfully annoying. I actually took my headset off because it was so bad. I'm also beginning to remember things that I've forgotten - how much I really disliked Komari because she's an idiot is coming back to me. Other than those things, it was pretty decent. |
