A lot of people are saying how disappointed they are, but I don't share the same opinion. It did transition rather quickly, but it's not the first episode where Kanata and Haruka had a face-off, so it's fine I think.

Not much to say here, but as a VN reader, I think the episode was done quite well. Haruka route in 3 episodes does seem rushed, but I'll save that judgment for when the route is over.

Edit: On reading through some of the earlier comments more thoroughly, I have to add something...

SERIOUSLY GUYS? I'm not trying to start a flame war, nor am I belittling anyone's opinion, but I seriously can't help but feel some of the VN readers are acting like spoiled brats. The sheer hate that's coming across is astounding, and this is episode 16 for crying out loud. Some of you are acting a little overprivileged, don't you think? How the hell was this episode as bad as you're making it out to be? Reading these comments feels like episode 1 all over again.


Lol I'm just not having the same feel as I did in the VN. I actually felt bad for her in the VN because there was like 100x more amount the emotion than what I saw in this episode. It may only be one episode into her arc, but they could of put more emotion into the bench part even if it's only a bench.

I even showed a friend of mine who's an anime only viewer of the part this happened in the VN and he noticed a BIG difference in portraying the emotion. My opinion may be off the chart here, probably cause I rated this arc the lowest of them all pretty much next to komari and kuds.

Bench-kun!? WTF? I guess, Incinerator-sama had a nice meal at least.

I never knew people cared about that freaking bench so much. I thought it was one of the worst done parts of the VN since it was overdramatic over something like a bench.

Even if, barely any emotion was shown. Not like I gave a crap about Harukas route anyway since I was pressing ctrl most of the time.

Is it worse? Sure. But the bashing is ridiculous. People are screaming how awful this episode was. I mean, I'm reading through some of these comments, and I'm thinking:

"This is the worst episode you've ever seen and it's 100x worse than the VN?

Oh, do tell. I think you've forgotten the true meaning of BAD."

There's a difference between being disappointed, and just plain bashing, and some people clearly crossed over at a point. And I'm not white knighting JC or anything. If you read my post on Mio's introductory episode, you'll see how disappointed I was that they messed up the book finding scene. But I didn't go on and say how Mio's route would be screwed up by JC then, BECAUSE that would be prejudging, which is rarely a good thing.

Simply put, opinions are good things. No one says you have to be satisfied by how they handled the adaptation. But honestly, some of you are getting far too dramatic. It REALLY isn't as much of a disaster as some are making it out to be.

yay, let the few of us who actually enjoy this episode and adaptation join hands and fight the evil "I hate everything because it's not perfect" organisation :3

I liked this episode as usual, sure it's not the same as the VN (seeing how i play the parts of the VN right before the episode comes out to compare) but it works well as it's own thing :D just see this anime as it's own thing, not an animated form of the VN, just based off of it (if that makes sense o-o) and you'll be fine ^_^

Although for a negative comment, it seems this arc may indeed be 3 episodes, which annoys me coz I think they're gonna make Kuds arc 4 episodes -.- yeah, make the longest arc that needs 4 episodes 3, just so you can have your loli icon better, so annoying.

I've never understood that mindset. They're called "adaptations" for a reason; by definition it's going to be different from the original work. And when the original sets such a high standard as a Key VN does, it's damn near impossible for the anime to meet it.

Sure, the show has its issues. Sure, it's not a 100% faithful line-for-line remake of the VN. It was never going to be, and anyone who expected otherwise needs a reality check. For what it is, it's plenty enjoyable and a lot of people like it. No reason to be bashing the show or its fans.

It wasn't necessarily directed at you. Mostly the over-the-top posts about "giving up on this adaptation" and how the director should be fired, yada, yada, yada, etc etc.

Ugh. Overprivileged first world problems.

Oh, and some of you need to go (re)watch Air, and come tell me if you still think LB is rushed.

Oh so opinion of yours because you're blindly love LB.

Please go and refer to my first post on Mio's introduction (episode 10, I believe), and try to tell me I blindly love this adaptation. Go ahead, do it.

My opinion of this LB adaptation (I think) is best described as "grateful". I would LOVE a masterpiece that can challenge the Gods of Anime (Clannad AS, Steins, Madoka, etc.), but even if it's not, I'm not going to sit in my comfortable seat and complain about a service for which I am paying nothing. Little Busters TV is NOT a bad adaptation. It may not be the masterpiece I want it to be, but I am very grateful that an adaptation of it even exists. Trust me, this anime is NOT doing a disservice to the good name of the VN, Tsukihime-style. If this anime exposes more anime-only viewers to the brilliant story of LB, albeit in a truncated, slightly less involving way, I am still grateful.

The problem is that some of you want more. In my eyes, this adaptation is infinitely better than having no adaptation at all. And if more people come to appreciate what a great tale LB is and fall for all the characters in its cast, well that's even better. It pains me to see the likes of K-ON everywhere, known by everyone, and yet Clannad, Kanon and LB are basically nowhere in popular culture.

Well, I think that the episode wasn't as bad as how Funya-Usagi said... it is just that Haruka went gloomier and gloomier after being constantly bullied by the prefects and finally snapped hard when her favourite bench was destroyed. The anime version didn't snap Haruka that hard until the prefect room scene though.

Funya snapped harder than Haruka.

For me who haven't played the VN, this episode was pretty good
I've read some complaints and reasons why some people here hate the ep so much, but I don't think it was dat bad...
From reading the comments, I actually think that the some VN players thinks that the ep was not as good as the VN and cut many parts especially events before the bench scene --> Disappointed
But just because you're disappointed, it doesn't make the ep bad.... they are two different things

And as about you being blindly love this adaptation, all what you did in most episodes discussion are praising them and you aren't even try to search the flaws most of the time as you're implying this series is flawless(Episode 10 is an exception base on your point of view about it).

This was I expect but look. In the VN, bench scene, Riki got pissed off because of Kanata being "too" bitchy to Haruka so he lost his temper and almost punched Kanata. That's one example of strong emotions but here, it nerfed and turned out to be a mediocre scene.

Yes, I edited it. Here, I'll repeat what I said.

"My opinion of this LB adaptation (I think) is best described as "grateful". I would LOVE a masterpiece that can challenge the Gods of Anime (Clannad AS, Steins, Madoka, etc.), but even if it's not, I'm not going to sit in my comfortable seat and complain about a service for which I am paying nothing.

It pains me to see the likes of K-ON everywhere, known by everyone, and yet Clannad, Kanon and LB are basically nowhere in popular culture."

And no, you're wrong about me always just praising the episodes. Many times I will point out things I thought the episode was lacking, whether it be removed scenes or strange BGM choice. Don't be confused because my tone plays downs the negatives, it's just that it's ridiculous to dwell on these when there are more positives. It's not like any episodes (except 10 in my eyes) had serious flaws.

Going on about the negative aspects is like someone making you dinner, which is fairly nice, but is lacking, say, sauce. And you go on and shout at them for forgetting the sauce. We're getting this anime FOR FREE. Don't be an ingrate.

Being an ingrate? I want a good anime adaptation which as good as the source material, not only just an anime adaptation. If it's seriously bad, then it's not worth my time to watch that show even I'm a huge fanboy of its source material(Tsukihime and its non-existent anime and I regret watching its adaptation). Therefore, if know it will be butchered, then I won't going to give it a try and I'll be satisfied and thanked to the source material.

having not played the vn i feel kinda awkward to say...it wasnt that bad, but i guess this opinion is like alt on a wound of the VN player, so i'll shut up and say
i'll playthe novel the moment this anime is over, in fact i'm already donloading it

from past experiences i can say, reading/playing the original material and then watching the anime adaptation, its rreally hard

even i tought that it was weird that that bench scene felt so normal, like it lacked something, now i know that it lacked emotion but

looking forward to that rain scene, all key anime(if not all heroines) have that overwhelmingly sad scene by the rain that makes us remember them, so, even if i´m not sure whats going to happen, i hope that raising my hopes wont betray me

and lol, funya snapped XD
he's gonna became famous for that XDDD
Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces

Honestly, the only 2 people that I actually think still enjoy anime are ihateeveryone, and SleepingEntity. The rest of you are acting like whiny children complaining about every single thing.

I wish most of you who hate Little Busters and JC Staff would drop this anime already since you guys hate it so much. It's usually the same people complaining about shit in every thread. If you guys hate it, why are you watching it? I wouldn't watch an anime that I thought was bad, rushed, poor executed, etc. But apparently you guys love watching things you consider bad. That's nice.

The amount of bitchyness and whining in this thread is amazing. I have to say that the urban dictionary definition of "myanimelist" is 100% accurate.

Referring to this:

"If you thought the community was bad, the episode discussion topics are worse. Why? Because this is the place where those college-graduated, degree-awarded, full grown adult MAL users go to become their inner tantrum throwing 4 year old. They complain about every little thing here, which leaves us to ponder even more why? But I know why. No one on MAL enjoys anime anymore. That's why."

ihateeveryone & SleepingEntity, you guys are probably the ones ones that I like. lol (yes I read every post on every episode discussion, I just don't post since usually there is a dangerous amount of complaining and whining.)

But it's not SERIOUSLY BAD, and therein lies the problem. Nor is it being butchered. Plenty of anime only viewers are enjoying where the series is now, and I can't say the same for bad anime.

I mean, from my experiences, "seriously bad" only really applies to two anime I've watched: K-ON and Hatsukoi Limited. I don't even know why I watched those. They were awful. LB TV is LIGHT YEARS above those, which are truly "seriously bad". LB maybe worse than the source material, but it is by no means, bad.

I'm just going to put this out here, and I hope everyone takes this to heart:

There's a huge difference between not liking something, and having no respect for it. Nothing in this world is perfect, but some things are closer than others. When watching anime (or doing anything, really), make sure you try to keep an informed mindset and not jump to conclusions or make overly emotional comments. I'm saddened when I see posts that go overboard and start screaming rage at the director, the story planners, the animators, etc. Unless it's clear that they obviously don't care what they're doing and just want profit, have a little respect for what they're doing. Many of you are annoyed that the anime isn't as good as the VN, and I get that (I somewhat agree). But raging isn't helping anyone. There are plenty of flaws, but I'm going to go ahead and say that this series has WAY more to be grateful for than not.

Let's just wait till the series is over before we make judgments regarding whether this anime will do the VN justice. Either way, this series is already better than 90% of animes. I'm seriously not joking.

Keep a cool head, guys. Flaming doesn't help anyone.

TLDR VERSION: Even if you don't like something, you can still be respectful.

Same. It's sad that we're in the minority. But like someone else said, people in Japan are really buying LB!, and that's all that really matters. It doesn't matter if people who download it online for free don't like it.


Bit off topic here..

We're always in the minority, no surprise there. People in Japan buy lots of stuff that isn't popular here, of course this is obvious for many reasons. Some anime portray certain places and bring in tourism. For example Girls Und Panzer isn't that popular for Most MAL users, but is receiving more sales than anything lately; excluding SAO.

It doesn't matter, but it matters for me :[, as I'm a fan of KEY's work and buy all their Anime adaptations on BD. I just hate seeing the VN get poorly adapted in some sense, but I won't dwell on that.

I anticipated Haruka's route the most and so far, I like it. tbh the filler aside, the pacing was never perfect for this show and this is no exception to that.

Personally, I completely (mis)interpreted that bench scene as I had thought it was just to show how cruel Kanata is to Haruka.

To me this episode was no better or worse than any other episode but as far as I'm concerned, I'm looking forward to the next one.

Honestly, the only 2 people that I actually think still enjoy anime are ihateeveryone, and SleepingEntity. The rest of you are acting like whiny children complaining about every single thing.

I think you are wrong here - probably more people are enjoying it than not... still they are silent and vocal minority of people that don't like it is more visible.
Like 42 people said they loved and 11 that they liked it.

And to the topic: Haruka, I really disliked her route in VN (but that's more thanks to Kanata) - but it's moving nicelly, skips some parts that were irrelevant and I hope for some nice resolution.
Good to see, again Little Busters acting as a team.

BTW it's utterly unfair that only Haruka has those chibi-scenes: I want those for Kurugaya and Kud :D

so much potential. but something feels missing. I think the director is not doing a good job on setting up the scenes.

I haven't read the novel, and I am enjoying little busters. (I already got it install in my PC, waiting to play it soon as I finish the anime)

I really liked this episode. Well, after the bench part. The bench scene seem ridiculously rushed. O.o

The way she curl up in the corner sobbing away is heartbreaking, to think a girl, with body as small as her's is enduring that much pain!

THE POOR GIRL SEEM SO HELPLESS AND HURT, THE LEAST YOU COULD DO IS GIVE HER A HUG!

I know JP got difference culture, but COME ON!

P.S.
Did not realize how little she is prior to this episode thanks to her energetic, happy and cheerful personality

nice, this episode did a good job of pissing me off. jeez.
5/5

I personally thought they're trying to tone down Kanata's bitchiness but "hate begets more hate". xD

I wonder if anyone likes Kanata :O And do you think the reason they're trying to make Kanata... (VN spoilers)

While the adaptation is all right, I think it's quite rushed.
The adaptation isn't bad. The Visual Novel is too good.

Bench-kun!? WTF? I guess, Incinerator-sama had a nice meal at least.

4/5 - As a anime-only viewer I can't complain that much.

Funnily enough, you're doing exactly what Haruka and Riki did in the VN. Even your reaction is similar.

LOL. Really? The reaction to the twins part or the bench?

Doesn't that just mean that one is the 'supposed' real father, and the other is not?

No. Its weird, I read about this years ago.
Never would have thought I would see it in a anime.

Apparently the children are twins, but at the same time, they are also half-siblings since they have different fathers.

I'm a fan of LB and i hv finished both LB and EX version, Haruka arc personally my favorite and most touching aside from refrain.
This episode is not too rush and its a good adaption so far, well, i know they skip some stuff before bench scene, but that is a fine episode.
But well, they not include Shaka Shaka hey, that's disappointing :)

Oh no, they broke... Bench-chan!LOL, that was a bad episode even by LB standard.

Also, i'm not sure I understood this twin stuff. Why don't they have the same name? Don't tell me it's because they don't have the same father?

The twins part. I don't think they'll have it in the anime, since it wasn't too important, but in the VN, Riki and Haruka decide to do a bit of research (in a parenting book from the bookstore, or was it the internet? Don't remember) themselves due to it's rarity. The conversation goes something like follows (I can't be bothered looking it up in the actual VN):

Haruka: For this to happen, both men must have coitus with the woman within 24 hours.
Riki: Coitus? What's that?
Haruka: Um...it means sex, Riki-kun...
Riki: Oh... (awkwardness)

They made the Bench-kun scene completely weak
The flier scene wasn't bad (Even if her father is a recycled Kyousuke model)
Masato and Haruka fighting felt a bit forced
Kanata didn't seem as dark as she did in VN
And reveiling they are sisters lacked impact Imo
Yet Episode not as bad as others made it seem

Honestly I suspected they were sisters from the first momment, but wait twins with different fathers? Wut.....Yes yes I know its technically possible.

I wonder if she'll end up making up with her sister and joining the team.

And damnit Riki, you are a horrible lead! Or a good guy depending on the view. All you have to do to get a girlfriend/harem is make a move when they are depressed!

Overall I think the plot went smoothly, though it was rushed. I mean this really should have been a three part affair, though I suspect it will be finished next week, and in a predictable manner. Which makes me a little concerned with how this series will end.

Cause if it ends with a baseball game and like no sort of closure (such as where they all go and what they are up too) I'll be highly pissed.

The ep wasn't bad, but it fails when stacked up to other eps from earlier. In praticularly, Komari's arc, and the Sleep over, having came just before this, really smacks the lack of effort in the face.

I have to give this ep a 3 out of 5. Not bad, but the show has done alot better.

Not bad episode actually, maybe just a bit rushed. I liked Haruka though didn't really like her route that much, so I'm not having that big expectations. But, who knows, her story had potential, maybe it will look better in the anime.

The one major question i got from this episode is aren't there any teachers in that school?
First of all this episode clearly showed that the disciplinary comity can't handle the task they have been given and what gives students the right to pass judgement over other students.
I can understand that a school wants some roll models within the school to give a example but students that violate rules should be dealt with by a teacher who received proper training for dealing with those things.
A older student addressing a younger student for some minor things like forgetting a textbook or being late by a few minutes is also understandable but again punishment should be handled by the teachers.
What happened to Haruka during that meeting was something completely unacceptable what i saw there where a few pathetic students abusing there authority to bully a other student as for the school staff it's completely unprofessional that they let something like that happen.

The bench is also something that should be handled by the staff of the school what i saw here was destruction of school property without even a single adult around that had given permission for something like that.

Lastly that thing that angered me most was that rumour and the fliers they made about it at and the thing i wondered about most at that moment was.
Just what the hell is the staff of that school doing.
They should have acted immediately when that happened the ones behind that action should receive a three week suspension at least.
Starting rumours is just low and to do it in such a repulsive way is just sickening.
