Can't do the romance route for her, but hopefully it's still well done without it. Mio is one of my favorite routes I'd say its 8.5/10 for me during the VN.

Also the episode seemed off with, Kyousuke knows Mio isn't Mio OR this could just be for the preview narrating and nothing more being actually inputted for next episode.


Well, about the preview, I think that means Kyousuke will help Riki.

In the ep 11 preview, it was just Riki narrating... so ep 12, Riki didn't have help from the others.

(except the tanka contest, but that part was that way in the visual novel)

So, imo, Kyousuke and Rin will help the next two episodes, and I think this will happen every route.

Just like Komari's, but in her's they helped in the first and third eps. (eps 4 and 6)
With Mio they'll help in the second and third. (eps 13 and 14)

That's my theory.

didn't riki tell kyousuke the situation in the VN? that's one thing i loved about kyousuke, he believed riki even though it sounded completely absurd.

So far, I'm liking the start of Mio's route much more than I did the start of Komari's. Hopefully the rest of it stays that way.

What "Adolescence" do you have?
Do you remember "Childhood"?
The irreplaceable one existed there.

By giving this episode a 5, I feel like I need to go back to every episode thread for any Anime ever, reduce it to a 3, and maybe then that will do this episode justice. I just could not stop laughing for the majority of this episode, and the introduction to the new arc was great. Can't wait for the next ep

Decent episode. I'm glad to see more of Mio.

It was nice to see her interact more with others. Never thought it'll be easy to recruit Mio thought. Mio's BL fantasy and the cellphone scene were funny. Also, she has the cutest laugh I've seen about where Riki wants to go to Hawaii.

When I read a post that Riki and Mio had a date in the vn, I was a bit disappointed it wasn't included. Like to see some romance between the both of them as well.

Anyway, Mio's cute laugh or giggle made my day.

So I'm not the only one who nearly shit myself?

Yes, that scared me. Despite it being a pretty girl with a friendly happy smile, the lightning strike over it made it like the reveal of a monster in a horror movie.
I go by many names, some call me Hoshimaru, others call me Jiro or Aosou-Kun.
I believe myself a force for good, a papercrafter by trade, and one who seeks love and beauty animesque.

I really loved how in contrast with the others, Anego took Mio's lecture pretty well, she only signaled her displeasure with her eyebrow. Sasuga Anego.

Mio's route was my favorite in terms of concept, so I'm looking forward to it. But next episode beach already? I hope they don't rush it.

"I believe that stories are written and read to rebel against the fact that you only live once."

Giving a 5/5 for this episode, good stuff.

This episode was great. Funny how the smart Mio can't use a cellphone even though she read the manual. Imagine her using a computer lol. The other Mio is probably her shadow. She's called shadowless so maybe the smiling Mio is her shadow. I liked Mio's laugh during the middle of the episode. It was soft and cute. The next episode is the sea and the shadow replacing the real one... I need to play the VN really soon.


I liked that part as well

I don't know, I missed that riverbank and setting sun.. the reason why she catched cold was because they were with each other in the first place. It just felt going around too fast. They are kinda switching sequence of events also. I hope next time they will go to the bookstore at least.

I think that Mio arc is done better in VN.

This episode was great, I love serious stuff like this.
Hopefully this arc will take a while but knowing J.C. Staff it'll probably end in the next episode.
I'm looking forward to it.

I decided to drop this anime half-way through episode 12. This anime is crap. It is the first and only KEY-related anime that I didn't enjoy at all. It was utter repetitive crap. I'll likely find enough boredom to sacrifice my time to watch this dry, plot-less anime but I don't see it happening anytime soon.

Plotless? I don't think you've been paying attention buddy. Hell, I'd say Little BUsters has more of a plot than Clannad does. And repetitive? As much as I respect your opinion, but Clannad is even more repetitive. And one last thing. You're dropping this anime at the exact point where everything begins to go up. Everything improves by this point onwards.

>Watching a quarter of a Key slice of life and calling it plotless...

I can't exactly say that Kanon, Air or Clannad had much more or less of a concrete plot 1/4th through. You should trust in Jun Maeda's best work.
The second cour was significantly better than the first, yeah, and if you enjoyed Key's other works, I don't think you wouldn't enjoy the second half of the first season.

Little Busters is plotless? If you watched until episode 12, I will assume you at least watched Komari´s arc. Now, if you call Komari´s arc plotless, then all your logic goes down the drain, along with your argument. Besides, you watched half of the anime, so you don´t really have the right to criticize it. And repetitive? Do you have any idea of what you just said? If it´s about that, Clannad got WAY more repetitive, at least the characters of little busters aren´t all around Riki like a harem, unlike clannad.

I think I actually started to like Mio a little.

About what's up with her. I'm guessing some kind of a personality disorder or schizophrenia.
Well, let's see.

It was rather another boring episode but the ending part was very interesting!

I can't help but to think that they're trying too hard to make Nishizono be the "invisible" being, or trying too hard to make her classmates jerks.
