| I don't know if i should be hyped for Haruka... I really really HATED KANATA that whore. I also HATE visual novel Midori, but i felt really bad for anime version midori. |
| As a non novel reader, I found this arc (and even the show so far) to be mediocre. I felt little to no sympathy for Mio disappearing; in fact, I think it sucks how Midori was just casted aside like that. And don't give me that she became one with the shy girl bullshit. |

People who continue to watch a show even though they think it sucked all the way through so far..Pathetic. |

I remember some people being like that for all the character routes, but they would still end up loving Refrain in the end. Seems like it could be the same case here. ._. I guess Mio's route was never that popular either. But Haruka's arc will be here soon and I remember that one being one of the more popular routes in the series. I personally Enjoyed Mio's route over Haruka's. Same with me, but I do know that Haruka's route is popular with a lot of people on this site. I didn't like the melodrama in her route, but the concept behind her story was nice at least. Kurogashi said: As a non novel reader, I found this arc (and even the show so far) to be mediocre.

| Okay, this just felt rushed and unsatisfying. As expected of the LB adaptation I guess. 2/5 |

kevinZ said: Manly tears were shed. I'm glad Mio's back :))) Just a question for you guys, Is this the most emotional/dramatic arc in the VN? No. |
| This is probably a stupid question, but was this story arc "supernatural"? Was Midori really another person, or was this all just like different personalities in Mio's head, and she was acting like Midori and pushing "herself" aside? And why could you not see her shadow? |
| that was nice episode |
| Beautiful episode. Riki should just start dating her already. |
| One of my favorite episodes so far I must say. Great adaption of Mio's route and I'm kinda glad it's over. Don't take it wrong, but her route wasn't my favorite when I played the VN. Nonetheless, I'm glad it got a great adaption. It was somewhat rushed, but it had it's key moments from the VN and in the end they executed it well in the anime, and they even put the appropriate song as the ED. Well done on that part. I'm not entirely sure who's arc\route is next to be shown. From what I have read, it's apparently Haruka's struggle that's next. Looking forward to that troll's route. x] And I was really glad to hear Faraway (Instrumental) OST being played in the episode. Loving it. |

Peten00b said: Amazing episode, next episode gonna be loads of fan service, that sleepover scene from the visual novel xDDD Me too, but that won't happen until next season so my final score would end up being an 8/10. Can't wait to see Refrain animated though, that will be one hell of an experience. |
| I dont get why so many put Mio's route in the visual novel at the bottom or so low on their lists, for me she was my favourite route. Mio > Kurugaya > Kud > Rin > Haruka > Komari Kud might of been 2nd but i thought her route goes a bit over the top also the ending just felt kind of rushed and missing details for such a large scale story, Rin's is more of a lead on into Refrain but still really good, Kurugaya's was really good being bittersweet with 2 endings but Mio's had to be my favourite i really did love hers. Haruka's i sort of liked but not that much the ending was sort of anti climatic and really only felt partly finished with so many things left open but they just sort of told you its done now the end. Also Lastly Komari was not bad but really Komari's voice and Komari in general sometimes did my head in, though she could give me a laugh sometimes with her clumsiness. The episode itsellf was pretty good but of course the VN version was alot better and i will always think this was one of the arcs that romance was important and should not of been cut. Also cutting the romance seemed to make Midori a bit more tame someone even said they liked anime Midori but hated VN Midori. |

| Having Haruka's route next is probably a good thing, since it's nice and realistic, with pretty heavy Key drama that we all know and love. It's also the most "Clannad-esque" of all the routes, so those who epicly wtf-ed at Mio route will probably feel a bit more at home. Haruka route is one of the better routes, and I'm sure most anime-only viewers here will enjoy it. It's adaptation is also relatively simple, so I'm sure JC will do a fine job. I'm seriously concerned how they're going to do Kurugaya route though, since the whole point of it was that Riki had fallen for Kurugaya. But I guess we'll find out later. But before all that...next episode... The Goddess will descend from the heavens and grace us with her divine beauty as was foretold. Naysayers shall be awestruck by her purity, or else will be smited from the face of this Earth. She is coming. Prostrate yourselves in the glory of our Deity, our most holy Riki! inb4 complaints of fanservice |

I think it'd be fine to adapt with the romance present (if they go with the pre-refrain ending) |
| Mio's "route" was so beautiful/amazing, w/e you wanna call it. Made me cry atleast. ｡･ﾟﾟ･(>д<)･ﾟﾟ･｡ |
 |
| Good episode. Compared to Komari they did better Mio's route. Next week... next week... SLEEPOVER PARTY. |
| I have some questions about this episode. Since it contains major spoiler, those who have not read the Visual Novel should be careful not to click open the spoiler if they don't want to get spoiled. |

| 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. |

Maybe they will just for Kurugaya, but then anime watchers will be seriously confused. But hey, I could be wrong. |

Midori is actually Mio's imaginary friend that took her shadow to get a physical body. Just accept the lack of shadow, the imaginary friend coming back to life, and any other supernatural elements in the girl's routes as key magic. Everything will be explained in Refrain. |

| I'm not a great fan of Little Busters and care so little about whether the VN is better or not. But for me, Mio's arc probably lifted Little Busters from a sinking boat to a surface of a land. I seem to relate to Mio more and the poems are simply touching. :) She's one of the characters I like so I might be biased. |
     |
| Personally i am happy this arc is over for me this was the worst arc so far i just don't like Mio character and pretty much all of her sorrow is something she created herself. She was the one that didn't try to contact other children at a young age she was the one that created her imaginary friend she didn't do anything at all to contact people her age from what i could tell. She doesn't appear to be overly shy so she could have made friends along the way but she didn't she didn't try to improve her own situation at all. Which is the main reason why i don't like her character with her behaviour i can't feel sorry for her. |
| A bit of an acid trip in some places but at least Mio's back and that's what Riki wanted. Seems like Mio went through some rough times with Midori though, I'm not really sure how you could switch places with an imaginary friend, or was it just Mio having split personalities? I've no idea, this arc didn't interest me much but at least that's another person to add to the Little Busters team. |

|
| tbh I actually like Midori more... but I guess it's inevitable that she has to "unite" with Mio. Enough of the serious stuffs! Looks like next ep will be a relaxing one :) |
| Since I didn't have the time to play Mio's arc in the VN in this week, I decided to rush the entire of Mio's arc without reading the VN first. The result? It's good. I got the feel, although my head still recreate some of the script and music directions that I think were missed opportunity. But still, it's a good ride. So I heard the next arc would be Haruka's. I like her character, but I totally dislike her route due to her (and Kud's) writer. Random pacing, so many useless text filler and lack of punch in the emotional field. Hiah... If only Jun Maeda have enough time to write the entire Little Busters... Non-Refrain (and non-Rin) routes would be much better. I hope Haruka's route in anime would be better than in the VN. Conclusion : Much better than Haruka. Mio's arc : 4.2/5. Also, http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-01-10/writer/jun-maeda-might-work-on-new-key-title Yeah! More Jun Maeda pls! Seems like he returned from the long break. But before that, SLEEPOVER PARTY! |
