Vladz0r said: >implying Saya and other EX routes are going to get multiple hours worth of footage when each character route has only been 3 episodes each from the original LB routes... It's because they're pretty longer than the regular ones. They exceed the number of lines in Haruka's path(Which is the longest in the regular version and her arc will contain 4 episodes). I don't know if you've already experienced playing the 3 EX so you can tell how long they really are. |

| All's well that ends well ne? It was good to get the resolution out of that and in such a way that rather than one aspect of her personality be destroyed, they fused together! Well, im sure Mio will still be as shy as ever but maybe nw she'll be able to open up to her friends a little! |
 |
| Omg my heart, can't take all the drama. Riki is an amazing protagonist. |

| Just as I thought - liked this route more than in visual novel. Don't ask me why, though :D When I think about it now, Mio's route was like it's taken from Key's Air. Fainting existence, flying, forgetting about somebody. It even felt like it's taking place in summer season, when it's supposed to be spring, if I remember well enough. Ah, and that shadow thing... Couldn't stop thinking about Peter Pan. Kyousuke - DAMN AWESOME, that's true bromance :) |
  |
| wtf?????? can anybody explain what happened?? was about to raise it's rate to a 7 but this was too..... |
| well, they just ran through Mio's Arc without stopping, didn't they? I didn't even have time to feel sad or anything. I have no idea what i just watched. The VN was soooo much better. ;.; |
  |
| I liked Mio in general but I didn't feel touched or anything at all. Was pretty entertaining towards the end, but it really didn't have much impact. |

| Have to give it to them, they handled it pretty well. I'm glad my favorite route didn't get botched to hell and back. 5/5 probably the best episode so far. |
nelsonbrabra said: wtf?????? can anybody explain what happened?? was about to raise it's rate to a 7 but this was too..... I'll try to keep my explanation short, though I tend to write a lot about these kind of things. When Mio was a child, she had an imaginary sister, Midori. The two of them played a lot with each other. Her parents made her visit a doctor to 'heal' her from those delusions, so one day Mio forgot all about Midori. One day, however, she read a poem that made her remember Midori once again. On that day, Mio lost her shadow. And she knew, one day Midori would come back to take her place and Mio would disappear. Which is what happened. Everyone in school thought that Midori is Mio. Everyone except Riki, who wanted to get Mio back. Midori tried to make Riki forget Mio but the boy wouldn't give up despite his memories getting weaker. So she finally told him where to find her Sister. Mio, however, refused to return. She wanted to disappear, thus gaining absolute solitude and becoming 'her true self' and also pay for having forgotten Midori. In the end, Riki and Midori managed to stop her from disappearing and convince her to return by telling her that becoming one's true self is attained by talking to others. At that moment, Mio and Midori re-united and Mio got her shadow back. ... damn, it doesn't sound very spectacular if you try to cut it short =( |

| So Nishizono is a torch and going to disappear? Great arc and probably the best Nagato type character I've seen. The Komari route did nothing for me but finally this feels like a key anime. |

VanishingKira said: This episode was so moving.When Riki started crying nearly lost it myself,but didn't. Throughout this whole episode I was hoping that no matter what that Riki wouldn't forget about Mio so I'm glad that he didn't :). Glad you enjoyed it. It's good to see some new faces around here in the Little Busters forum. Hope you'll stick with us and the Little Busters to the end (next season :>) |
| Wasn't expecting all this supernatural/magic stuff with how the anime has been for the first 12 episodes. Pretty disappointed on this arc. No feels. |
| They did their best with this episode, it was suprisingly good next to visual novel. There were some things left and whole story was in fast mode but important things were there, I am glad. |

| Great episode, but I didn't get emotional at all. What a failure of story telling, and I even thought that the previous episode was a great buildup episode. parfaited said: Gawd I feel NOTHING when i'm watching this. 14 episodes and just nothing. I'm not even bored anymore i've shifted into a state of complete indifference. It's trying to be all ~deep~ but it's not reaching me at all. I feel exactly the same way. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| That was quite nice for Key's trademark "existence erased character" (Ie: Fuko, Ayu, and Michiru). Like this more than Fuko's 10 ep arc. |

| Why is it that I don't care AT ALL about anything that happens in this show? |
| Good music during the Mio past scene. Great scene overall, really. Rest of the episode was okay. |
 |
 Looks like some fanservice next ep... good time to take a break. Wafu! |
  |
| Amazing episode and end of this chapter! The backstory, and just development of this character was so beautiful! This chapter and this girl made me really like this Anime more! Lets see what's next but if they're going to proceed with this amount of quality I'm sure going to love it in the end! |
 |
| My feels glass was empty. Maybe it's because I need to sleep. |
| Nice ending to the arc, I'm glad she got back. And now that they have become one, I hope we can see a more open and cheerful Mio now :) |
 |
| Great episode. Maybe the arc was too short, there could have been more dramatic events. I dont know, just not as good at it could have been. |
 |
| the OP hasn't change but the ED is new XD love it! XD btw.. finally mio arc has ended XD finally XD mio,,, XDD you came back XD good bye midori :3 the ending is just too awesome.. I love it! (9/10) next episode next episode :p |
| Did not nearly enjoy this arc as much as the first one. I feel like the fact that just about everyone who has watched this has seen Clannad beforehand and is causing the score to be lower since this arc is very similar to I'll still keep it an 8/10 since I really enjoyed Komura's arc. Hoping it gets better! |

| This Arc made me a little scared specially the no shadow thing Mio and Midori T_T i teared a little, and that Mio with Long Hair sure is Cute :D everything is just adorable in little busters |
| Dumb as fuck. I really wonder if Key can ever impress me again, their stories are completely losing their effect on me. I have no attachment to Mio. Barely know the girl. I can't take this seriously. Also, Kyousuke is the only good part of this show. |
| trash /10 waste of fucking time... not sure if i can finish the series at this rate.... weak as shit |

Tennouji_ said: I understand the feels but I don't see this was worth tear-shedding. For me at least. This. The impact wasn't strong enough for me, the only instance where I felt something was when Midori said "Bye bye Riki-kun" and near the end where Mio cried for Midori, oh and also the instance where Mio knows that she has a lot of friends (Little Busters). But, still not strong enough to cry over it, I was touched though. The OST, as usual, is always good. |

| kinda overly melodramatic at the end ~_~ interesting arc though. supernatural elements and all |
| The best episode so far! I changed my mind! i'm going to finish this! But i'm still wondering that it will be better if KyoAni made the animation for this one. |

| Hmm maybe I'm just really tired but I felt nothing, no feels at all, from this episode. If anything, I was annoyed >__< |

| Seagull instrumentality project. Man, that was complicated stuff. So Midori could be interpreted as a personality of her that splitted, but as long as she was by his sides, they completed themself. But then, they did some kind of brainwashing and she forgot that personality of her, Midori. She then remembered it because of that poem that was strangely representative of Midori. Feeling like her existence had no meaning, she accepted to give Midori her body and travel between the blue sky and sea as a shadow. She felt her existence was meaningless until she met the Little Busters. Pffffiou, that was hard to understand. But of course, I described it as it was some sort of disease, but from what I get, it really have to do with some supernatural stuff. It look like at the end, she fusionating with Midori changed her personality a little bit, like if she got to her state before she even meet Midori. Well, that was a well done tear-jerking episode. Almost made tears up ; my eyes got a bit watery. I think I got stronger emotionally after watching show like Clannad or AnoHana :P |

| Whoa, this is an amazing episode. Those feelings reached my heart and I think I felt the same of the both of them. It's incredible!!! :D |

| Yeah! Mio is back! For some reason Little Buster does't have the same impact as the other Key adaptation has. So far this is by far the weakest for me. Hopefully is gets better. I feel like there is way too much comedy episodes. |
| I teared up, at how awful this all was, fucking lol, just what the fuck. |
 |
| Why is this turning into Clannad? Key stop it, you don't need to make another crappy show |

| Instead of happy go lucky eps they should put more time into midori.. I didnt feel anything for her so i didnt cry tho it did touch me and i liked mio. But it still doesnt rlly make much sense to me.. Might just be me. Id say 4/5 cause i just like mio and drama lol |
 |
| This was such a powerful episode! It was a true inspiration, and a good pick me up for every person dealing with dual personalities. *****/5 EDIT: since the character development in the past episodes was average, i couldn't really feel this 100%, but this episode particualary was world class stuff :) |
