So I was wondering whether this occurs after Refrain, before, or if it is just added on routes that have nothing to do with story. A little confuzzled here.

These are just extra routes. As far as I know, they happen before Refrain. Key released the VN Little Busters EX a year after the original Little Busters VN, containing three new character routes (Sasami, Saya and Futaki) with H scenes.

To ultimately answer the question, because I bet many people will ask this, jot down this simple note:

Saya's route = Before Refrain. Heck, after Riki recruit all girls to complete Little Busters without solving any of the girls' problems.

Sasami's route = After Refrain.

Kanata's route = 3/4 of her story is before Refrain and the last 1/4 is after Refrain. (Yes this is confusing)


So yeah, at the very least, Sasami's and Kanata's routes have something to do with the story since they're after Refrain(And based on how their stories go) but of course, like the other heroines' routes, they have their own problems(This includes Saya's too) and Riki must do something.

Anyway, it heavily depends on how the anime adaptation will go but this is how it really goes on the VN.

Yeah, one of Saya's routes central conflicts is her taking Riki's attention from the actual Little Busters

^Saya's story takes place in the artificial world before Refrain.
And Tennouji_ post the chronology of the routes in the above post.

Is the 3/4 the one already shown in the first season? If yes I guess that means in the OVA they will only animate the remaining 1/4?
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

No. That's Haruka's route.

The story telling of Kanata's route and Haruka's route are different to each other.

In the series each character has her own arc, Little Busters EX adds 3 more arcs.
That's the way I look at it.

(From the point of view of a person that is only watching the series.)

Rather off topic but for Kanata: 1/2 before Refrain and 1/2 post Refrain kinda bugging anyone? I finished her route today and it only took 20 minutes for me to read the post Refrain part :O

Well, that depends how the anime adaptation will handle Kanata's route.

That's why I mentioned the first 3/4 of her story is before Refrain and the last 1/4 is after Refrain but that's on the VN.
