Well that was something.. i couldn't stand that part when she got tossed out like trash i admit they did good on this arc despite leaving out stuff which made me enjoy it a lot in the VN verdict is both are good just have their pros and cons and it comes down to preference i liked the VN slightly better still managed to get a tad teary.

Kud next week so will Anego be the final if they even keep it in :(

the anime adaptation was pretty well done for it's constraints but i enjoyed the vn much more.

though yes i do agree that forgiving kanata was much easier in the anime.

Okay, that was unexpectedly great. What the anime achieved is something that the visual novel could not, it made me forgive Kanata at the end. What the adaption lost with Haruka's character, they more than made up for her sister and I really like this.

Final opinion for Haruka's arc: Anime > Visual Novel. Nicely done J.C. Staff!


I completely agree with you on that one. The arc started on a low note, but it ended on the highest note of the series, I think.

Also, not only is Haruka's sister better portrayed here, but so is their father.

Great episode to wrap up Haruka's arc. This route being one of my favorites from the Visual Novel. This was noticeable done well by J.C. Staff. They still cut out a chunk from her route, but it's pretty much insignificant if it were to cram and fit into this 26 season of Little Busters!

This episode has it's emotional moments, and sure hits you. And I'm glad to hear that the OST "Faraway" is being played in those moments.

Kud's route next. Kinda interested to see which Ending they would use for her, and how many episodes she will get before they wrap up this season of Little Busters. Surprise me, J.C. Staff.

I know that they play on adding other animations, but I'm thinking we will get some OVA's like we did with Clannad. Probably one for each route, and maybe and extended one for Kud because she has her own game.

Who knows? What we can only do is to assume. It may be OVA, another season, Movie, whatever else.

Despite the LB flaws I have been describing over and over, I started to ignore all those and focus onto my fav route. Haruka's route never fails to amaze me. The emotion is still there untouched and the fact that you can actually see Kanata's emotions during the revelation just makes it even better imo than the VN. Overall, great adaptation to this route.

Ahhh.. so beautiful.. I love Haruka's arc! ;__; Her realization that you shouldn't hate anyone, and that no one is evil is very significant to me. I actually relate to Haruka quite a lot.. thinking I was useless and everyone hated me and such.. that's probably why her route appeals to me so much. I also really love her as a character. ^__^

Looking forward to Kud's arc!~ <3 WAFUUU!

This episode was freaking great! That scene where Haruka made up with Kanata really pulled on my heart strings. Overall, it's almost a perfect conclusion to Haruka's arc. Not sure how VN readers feel about it though. It's just a shame the anime adaptation took as long as it did before it got this good...

This episode had the best animation on the whole anime so far! Loved it!

I hated how they changed the story, since in the game (if I recall correctly), Haruka was living with her real parents (except Saigusa Shou, of course), while in the anime, it is heavily implied that she still lives with the Saigusa family.

Other than that, I'm also sad that they cut some parts of the rain scene and didn't make Shou as badass as in the game.

Next is Kuddo! Can't wait!

A most perfect description of how I feel about this episode. Best LB episode AINEC.



I will however say that Kanata was the star of this anime arc. The parts where I felt were weakest were the ones where Haruka is seen confronting her problems outside of fighting and struggling against Kanata. Kanata on the other hand was handled phenomenally from the beginning of the arc. There is a lot of things I felt JC Staff has done poorly up until this point but Kanata's whole persona and the aura she exuded was done to the highest of standards IMO.

I was expecting something really awesome out of the rain scene, considering what it looks like in the promotional video. The episode felt a little rushed and melodramatic. Still, Haruka's arc doesn't fall too far from Mio's arc for me. I'd actually consider this both Haruka and Kanata's arcs. Kanata really is the star of these three episodes. Haruka shines once, and that is with her fantastic outfit at the end.

Well, that is definitely a great episode. But it's still litereally made my jaw dropped the entire time.

While i think the episode is rushed compared to the VN(Yeah, yeah i know i shouldn't really compare this to the VN) it still manages to entertain me. A LOT.

Eh?? I never read Visual Novel for Clannad so I can't say, but I think Clannad first season was really well done.

I blame KyoAni for top tier animation.

IMO Refrain would overthrow Afterstory, but that would have to determine how how J.C Staff does it. The lack godly Animation and art will make people have lower scores. (We all know this to be true.)

I'm actually stunned at how fantastic this episode was. It managed to turn an arc I was really disinterested in into probably the best one thus far. I'm amazed at how it managed to make just about all my issues from this arc poof away. It was also really moving.

Rushed, but it is still so good. 5/5 for me. JC Staff should have exerted this amount of effort from the beginning of the series instead. It certainly took them a while. This arc adaptation made me more excited in seeing Refrain's adaptation :>

eh, Maeda considers himself that refrain from little busters was the pinnacle of his work.

although i do agree with you that i doubt they can bring this up to after story level, they will get close though.

the point is kind of she's now past that, and there's no need for her to know anymore. Because it doesn't matter who her father is, She has her two fathers, her mother, and her sister.

You don't see anyone else with a After game made just for them, except Sakagami. And they need to make a Lucia After.

Actually they need to make a Shizuru after because Shizuru route utterly sucked. So much I felt bad for her as a heroine, because I actually genuinely liked her in the common route.

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.
