| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- It was really well done. I for one totally got affected by: http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb480/Yumekichi11/Picture%2037/1352554603397_zps91febdf2.jpg http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb480/Yumekichi11/Picture%2037/1352554614411_zpsbca65725.jpg That part was too emotional for me to handle and I had to break for a few moments. So far this episode marks the spot of max drama. Komari and her brothers really did not deserve BS disease to ruin their happiness. I am surprised at this part: http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb480/Yumekichi11/Picture%2037/nrhjrht_zps9f43d6a3.png Komari shower? Well certainly the skin tone and exposure did show of Komari's appeal. However in the following,  Komari despite looking depressed and out of it is still shown sexy. So lots of chaos in the episode itself from appeal of Komari’s service in may ways to drama max to a nice resolve. Seems next episode is Haruka’s arc and here I hoped for Noumi right away. Oh well need to wait it out. Rest of my thoughts are in the club: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=516599 with more custom art and pics than before. After all freedom in the clubs is much more precious due to the new rules. |

| Ep was kinda well animated, but... Looks like those spoilers were ttrue, next ep we'll have Haruka. |
| Komari-chan's suffering.. = my heart </3 Not a bad episode though. The emotional appeal is strong. |
 |
| Things that are supposed to be in 2~3 episodes are cramped into a single one... things are getting really rushed that I don't think it will be able to touch the anime-only viewers. I personally cried in the VN in Komari's arc... but without the hugging scene and the over-interference of the other LB members, I feel kinda disappointed. The animation in this episode is quite good, though the storyboard is kinda weird. |

| Man, oh man. This episode was just so awesome!!! All that drama left me feeling a lot more than I ever did while watching Clannad (although I have issues with that show >_>) Oh man, when Rin tried getting coloured paint or something, that scene alone was 10/10. I'm pretty sure after this episode many people will change their opinion of little busters ^_^ |

|
| I love the hugging scene at the end, but VN readers seem to be saying there are more hugging scenes but are cut out?? And next week Haruchin's route will begin it seems ! |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

I for one got affected but this is perhaps due to IRL situations I went through. I am still not sure of Key's appeal agenda since this is a first for me in this series and TBH I still think this of more of a Clannad feel but so far the emotions of this show keep much more satisfied than any service for that matter. There are far too many shows that do that exactly. Also it's not in excess at all. The shower scene could have gone way further yet it did not, which is why it is good IMO. |
| Oh god, such a touching episode. loved the fact that the other members were involved as well. This adaption is doing great |
| I felt this part was a little more touching in the VN, but still very nice on this episode. I noticed Rin is getting a little more attached to Komari now too. Does feel a little off from how it was in the VN, but the game creators wanted this to happen and I feel it's a fairly nice touch as well. Overall I was very pleased with how this was handled. Can't wait to see this repeated in the later arcs! ^^ |
Looks like Kengo |
 |
| Well, at least it got me even just a little where the group gave Riki a support since in the VN, that really got me. I can't judge because it's too blurry. And I don't think we're going to jump at Haruka's already since they're still recruiting members and that would be rushed though I already expect that Futaki Kanata will show on the next episode. |

| Agree with Sa_chan. Haruchin and Kud still need to be recruited, and Mio and Kanata have yet to be introduced. I remember I read a rumor which said that the next 4 episodes won't focus on a girl route in Animesuki. We will continue with Common route for a while. |
Noumi_Kudryavka said: Oh god, such a touching episode. loved the fact that the other members were involved as well. This adaption is doing great Technically, in the VN, they're involved as well by giving him a support like in the anime. Because the anime is "Free-POV" unlike the VN, it's only "MC-POV". |
|
| For the upcoming episodes: So the common route will be at least 8 episodes. Well, that pretty much confirms (which already did) that Refrain will get its own season. I can't find the direct source but I'm pretty sure that it's right as the poster from animesuki said that the source was from 2ch/magazine leaks. |

| I don't think resets will happen but are they really needed? The flow looked good in this episode and they should adapt each person gets the problem solved. Perhaps then a reset should incur due to the events of the VN and only then a proper path would be good for a conclusion. However I am thinking more of Clannad terms in 2 cours. Point being is that it should have 2 cours like Clannad did. I think that setup would work best for this series as to not rush it despite them doing it already in this episode from I hear around. |
| A reset is really needed for: |
| Logically speaking |

Linkark07 said: A reset is really needed for: Eh? |
|
| That's why the might. Well, my stance from the beginning has been a reset for all the girls. |
| This was well done, it managed to be pretty touching in the end. Im am enjoying this adaptation a lot right now. |
Linkark07 said: I would say A reset is really needed for: |
Dalek-baka said: Linkark07 said: I would say A reset is really needed for: I think only Kurugaya is needed too, since that's the only original route where it's required for Riki and Kurugaya to be together, the other routes you can actually get away with, We're just very very very good friends helping each other out and caring about one another with slight romantic tones. |
|
| If this is a preview of the emotional episodes that lie in the future, bring them on! Very touching episode. Makes me more eager to get going on the VN. |
 |
| I'm sure this has been said, but I spent ages scouring through the graveyard scenes to find Kengo, then of course realised he couldn't be there (yet). That was a little disappointing, but of course for a good reason. Oh well. Initially I thought the ending to Komari route was going to be WAY rushed, but the way they cut out most of the unnecessary content didn't actually strike me as too harsh. Sure, maybe 2 episodes instead of 1 could help, but overall the pacing wasn't as bad as it could possibly be. JC pulled out all the great stops (except ONE) when it came to BGMs this episode. Perhaps pulling out "Song for Friends" is a little early? The use of the more sad BGMs definitely contrasts with earlier episodes. On a more praising note, seeing Rin actually participate in helping out was in fact, definitely an improvement over the VN (for reasons VN readers will know). The help from the rest of the Little Busters was also pretty nice to see (although why did Rin ask for help from Haruka? She doesn't really know her very well at this point). Also, Little Busters Chickens? Hell yes! Unfortunately, they didn't have everyone yet, so we couldn't see everyone chicken-fied. And for some reason, for a second, the finishing montage seriously seemed to me like the series was ending right there and then. Then I slapped myself for my stupidity. It is unusual for Key works to play a montage throughout the ED theme not at the end, though, so perhaps my momentary stupidity can be forgiven. Next episode, obviously Haruka recruitment (actually seems more like she just butted in herself, actually), and introduction to Kanata. Looks like we're definitely getting the "smells like youth!" from her baseball test, judging by the way she sniffed the mitt. EDIT: Wait, people are saying they saw Kengo, but is that possible? he shouldn't even be at the cemetery at this point. |

| Wafuu~ |
cxu said: cxu said: This. |

Speaking of which, I wonder if helping the cafeteria in ep 9(if this is the next task) will move the anime slowly into Haruka's route, or if they will fully complete the common route before moving into another route. |

| Wafuu~ |
| honestly, rather than kengo that thing at the cemetery looked like mio's parasol LOL. (edit: nvm it was kengo, in the VN it says he first sees an umbrella.) episode was good, art was GOOD... like wow bring it on refrain with the good lookin art! edit: oh yea, song for friends was more or less fitting, as long as they save faraway for the big guns im fine with it. edit2: brother straight up coughs blood on her face. neither of them care to acknowledge it |

| Review on this episode is better than spoilers, I think so :) |
|
| This episode is so touching... wow and more friendship between Komari and Rin *^* Don't mind the whole group helping as well, Kyousuke is overseeing it all i see beautiful episode |
 |
| Wow, this episode was rushed like hell. I really enjoyed Komari's story in the visual novel, but I didn't enjoy it as much this time around. Should have spread it out more evenly across the show. No Kengo at the graveyard (or maybe that image posted was Kengo?), but I doubt that's important. Can someone tell me why Kengo was there though? Because I must have missed why. I know he was there at the graveyard in the visual novel too, but I don't think they've ever explained why he was there (or is my memory failing me?). One thing I found interesting was [spoiler=]they showed saya leaving a note and walking down the hallway. That made me lol Anyways, Haruchin will join next episode. She's a pretty fun and interesting person to watch :) |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
