Mio's is ecchi and not only Mio's has ecchi part. Kurugaya and Haruka also.

lololol, I almost raged at the start when they ended lamplight before it got to the intense part! XD
But then they had it at the stargazing part and it was all good

I can say one thing... they might not show full glory of Komari-Max vs Yui-chan epic battle.
But taking away

This episode - it felt quick. Also in terms of progress with route.
Still I like how they did it - especially Komari's eyes, scary and empty.
Memory scene was fine.

And thanks for informing me about that fanservice - I might have blinked at that time and didn't see it.
But of course it ruined entire series... ruined forever!
How dare they! (btw wasn't that scene earlier in the VN? I mean one with bear panties).

Very good episode this week. Probably the best.
Little by little I'll finding certain positive aspects in visual topics, that flashbacks at the end had some nice crayonist effect. And even better, it seems the next chapter was quite good produced, seems they really put more effort (budget) on it. Leastways the climax chapters gonna have better treatment, that is a great detail in my opinion, at least if they don't have enough budget to do twenty something chapters at superb quality like K****i, the outstanding ones must have conscientiously treatment. Talks about a good organization of the resources.

Finally, good to hear this awesome track


If JCstaff manages to reach people hearts somewhat with the next chapters, they throw them into their pocket to the end.

i Think this episode was quite well done i wish they made the Yui-chan scene a bit longer but at least it was there, JC did a good job so far yeah they left out a few things like the pancakes,sundae etc but it's all good knew once she had on her outdoor clothes what would happen :(

Komari's arc wasn't bad to me it was just hard listening to her voice (seems toned down in the show thankfully) and it felt more of an arc to ease you into the series still i was sad when i saw her soulless eyes again.

with all said next episode seems to be the last wonder who they'll do next,Haruka's one hit me pretty hard.

Looks like JC staff is putting more budget into the more intense and serious episodes, not that I mind though. Komari's breakdown is a lot better than I expected with the piano and flashback which gave me goosebumps. I was so glad there was no blood shown, that would've made me even sadder.

Well it looks like Komari's route is in full force now. Definitely compressed a little, but I guess nothing that didn't need to be removed. Stargazing and lake scene were done pretty well (but surely there's no way you can see so many stars in urban Japan?).

HOWEVER:

1.. Komari-max vs Yui-chan was far too short, and it WASN'T DONE IN THE STYLE OF A BATTLE! How could they do that?!

2. Not seeing Riki and the other LB mess around in school feels a little weird, but I guess it can't be helped, what with the event order change and whatnot.

3. No mention of scenery deja-vu on the train?

Side note: Riki has a nice jacket.

It's a great jacket
VN CG (spoiler)

He also wears a nice hoodie Mio arc

Yeah I remember the hoodie (which looked too small for him), but for some reason didn't remember his Komari route jacket. Much nicer than that hoodie.

Komari's dresses are all so frilly not that's a bad thing. I especially like the White and black one. but I must say Komari in

Ah I am a heartless bastard

Oh dear, we have a pervert who likes helpless, distraught girls in our midsts =p

In terms of clothing, my personal favourite was Mio's dress. It suited her perfectly, and who could forget
.

Which reminds me we'll get that scene next saturday won't we.....

Good episode. The breakdown was good, however it would have been better if they played "in the town of innocent rain" when she started crying. ala kotomis breakdown

Interesting to see that they intigrated the subtle romance.. itll certainly please shippers.

Fan service is a little annoying but i can look past it.. as long as they dont start shoving it in our faces.. cuz there were quite a bit of cgs that they could adapt into a rediculous zero no tsukaima type of thing.

Looking forward to the resolution

So they stop the song for a moment so we can hear her crying (would've been better to hear it in the background) and then right as I start to get sad after seeing this again the episode ends.

Could've been really good, but naturally JC Staff fucked it up. First episode I'm actually disappointed in since it could've been so good =/

And they need to stop using that damn "Unused Track." It's called that because it wasn't good enough to be in the VN.

Finished watching. Looks like they're using better the OST IMO.

I'm still not fond of how they cut out the deja-vu in the train, but the episode flowed well.
I liked the art in the lake scene.

And well... Why do I feel that I will cry more with this route conclusion in the anime than I cried in the VN?
Just the sight of the dead cat made my eyes water a bit. ;_;

Edit: about the fanservice stuff...

So when is Komari's crap going to be over with? Episode 7? I don't want to drop this, but she is seriously grating on my nerves, I can't stand it anymore. So I am just going to stop watching this when it goes over her arc. Then I will watch it in one long burst instead of torturing myself weekly like this.

So yeah, I guess I'll see you guys in the episode 8 discussion thread next. Have fun!

I'm glad we are finally getting into some drama, but I felt like the episode moved kind of fast. Dead kitty and Komari's reaction to dead kitty made me tear up.

Her crying though... I'm probably one of the few people who don't mind Komari's voice, but for some reason, her crying bothered me. I don't know why I could stand her voice all the other times and not that time, but it kind of took away from her whole breakdown scene (to me at least). Still sad though. ;____;

Ah and I loved, loved, loved, loved, loved the shooting star scene. It was so sweet.

Hopefully lots of tears next episode!

Been a great adaption so far, really liking it, and the OST just reminds me back when I played the VN.

Well Komari's route was one of the route I didn't enjoy too much in the VN, but it was a nice read regardless. I think at one point I muted her for the rest of the reminding routes until I started to play on the final route in Little Busters!



I'm also really glad that Rin gets some decent amount of screen time!

And looks like they mixed some of Komari's bad end in the story.

Other than that, I liked this ep a lot, I think it was the best one so far.

That background music played when they were watching shooting stars! So sad. I dunno but tears rolled down. Maybe I have been too much in love with this anime even though nothing too sad happened so far. :(

I don't want to read the spoiler tags from the VN fans. But I just wanted to share that I am loving it!

Did someone say trap Riki? Because I heard someone say trap Riki :D
(CG cut from Saya's route... not that I've played it. It's not really spoilerish.)


Putting that aside, I think this episode could have been better, but it is pretty good so 4/5 from me. Komari is my precious ~waifu~ so unlike some who seem to be eager on skipping this I'm actually enjoying it, despite her route not being my favorite. Her smile was as cute as always aaaahhhh <3 That's why I teared up by the end... That expression was not an expression you would expect seeing on the ever so happy Komari. She really needs a hug.

The pacing is as fast as always; I understand the problem, but I wish they would slow down during the more serious episodes. They cram a lot of contents into one episode while sacrificing some details that could've made the episode more dramatic. That boat scene was really adorable though, I can't say I remember it being that adorable in the VN! I also really liked the last bit of Komari's flashback, it gave a watercolor-like feel, which is great.

Going with this pacing, Komari's route should be over next week. I hope they're introducing lovely Mio after that

Also, the common complain: the Yui-chan vs Komari-max fight could've been longer! But I guess it's okay, at least they inserted it in.

It feels like they are cutting off a little bit to much of Komari's scenes and the Yui / KomariMax part was a little short, but the parts they are doing they are doing quite well.

Oh and Riki has pretty good taste in clothes, though he always seemed to dress quite well in the VN as well. It is nice they put the effort into animating them as well. Though Komari always looked a little off to me in goth loli not that it is horrible it just took some getting used to, it might be her hair colour does not go to well with the black and white.

Good to see they are finally getting down to business with the drama. One thing I didn't like about the episode is Komari's voice; it's a bit irritating for me, maybe it's just one of those things one will get used to over time.

Thought it was a good episode, seemed like they had to rush it a bit due to the amount of VN content for Komari's route, but I thought they handled it well.]
