She done some sorta like Key magic and that was explained probably on this episode or the previous one. Well, maybe I'm wrong since I totally forgot her story. But I'm pretty sure about Mio's existence replacement. |

Anime- only viewers are probably going wtf at this episode but its better to pass it off as key magic ..for now. YES NEXT WEEK ITS THE SLEEPOVER! I hope they show us what the guys were up to that night too. They didn't play Faraway. Are you thinking of Little Melody or Clear Weather After Rain? Faraway is going to be reserved for much stronger emotional scenes... Hehe...it seems people are starting to get at why LB is so good... Oops I meant Faraway Instrumental version when Riki was on the phone with Midori. But yeah its going to have a bigger impact later on.. ^^ Oh crap you're right. How did I completely miss that? I can't believe I identified Little Melody, Song for Friends, The Boys' Farewell and Clear Weather After Rain, but didn't recognise my favourite piece...=_=" |

KEY MAGIC It will make more sense later, but just take it for what it is now. Also know that the only reason Riki remembers her is because of the book she gave him which triggered a restoration of his original memories. |
| not Bad not bad even with the faster pacing it was pretty good,dat friendship ending but one of my favorite events is coming up next week ! anyone know what arc we'll be doing next i forgot when someone mentioned it before. |

|
| Even though some things bothered me, I liked the adaptation of this route. All I want to see now is how they're going to adapt Haruka's and Refrain. |
| dang i actually thought people would like this episode LOL i wonder if anyone's going to even be touched by refrain. |

I liked Riki's reactions all through out the episode to be honest. I could tell that he was conflicted and felt utterly helpless. The problem with his breakdown at the beach was that it happened too soon. If Mio would have been introduced earlier in the series and interacted with Riki more, his reaction would have been more believable. I'm just a little hopeful because it proves that J.C. Staff can show emotions pretty well, something that they will need if they decide to cut out a lot of the narration in Refrain and wish to adapt it properly. |

| Loved this episode! almost brought me to tears!! This has given me even more hope for J.C. Staff's adaptation!! Keep it up J.C. and if you can, get even better! |
blubberflub said: dang i actually thought people would like this episode LOL i wonder if anyone's going to even be touched by refrain. I remember some people being like that for all the character routes, but they would still end up loving Refrain in the end. Seems like it could be the same case here. ._. I guess Mio's route was never that popular either. But Haruka's arc will be here soon and I remember that one being one of the more popular routes in the series. |
| Next week...FINALLY. I've been waiting for that. ^^ And pretty nice conclusion to Mio's arc. Not as good as in the VN tho. |

| Manly tears were shed. I'm glad Mio's back :))) Just a question for you guys, Is this the most emotional/dramatic arc in the VN? |

| A good finish to Mio's arc. This show is slowly, but surely, getting better. |
 |
| That was umm...weird. Going through the final part of the route on the VN was weird enough for me, but seeing Riki actually chasing after Mio on the sea was way beyond the level of strangeness. Overall, decent episode. |

Not even close to refrain Yep, Refrain is in it's league of it's own I'd probably rate it by: Kud = Rin = Haruka = Mio = Komari = Yuiko (my opinion though, Kud is probably not first for others) |
 |
| Great episode, even though Mio's route was my 2nd least favorite out of them all. Next week though... That's the episode I have been wanting to see for a long time now! And can't wait for Haruka's route. |

Refrain is on an entirely different batting field. hue hue. |
|
| I rate the routes in a few different ways lol. I'd love to be in Riki's shoes, i.e. do not want bittersweet ending. Kud>Haruka>Rin(1+2, no true route pls)>Komari>Mio Kurugaya> Most feels: Kud>Kurugaya>Komari>Haruka>Rin>Mio My waifu: Kurugaya>Kud>Komari>Haruka>Rin>Mio (deres and lolis get priority, excluding Rin) Overall enjoyment and emotions of the route finale in the VN: Kurugaya>Kud>Haruka>Komari>Rin>Mio Funniest scenes: Kurugaya=Kud=Komari=Rin=Haruka=Rin (they're all so good lol) Idk why, I wasn't a huge fan of Rin, even Rin's 2nd route. |
this is my reaction to this episode: |
| ヽ(ｏ`皿′ｏ)ﾉ ヽ(ｏ`皿′ｏ)ﾉ ヽ(ｏ`皿′ｏ)ﾉ ヽ(ｏ`皿′ｏ)ﾉ ヽ(ｏ`皿′ｏ)ﾉ |
| I loved the episode the producers show many symbolisms with Midori and Mio |

As for me, le best route orders: Kurugaya > Haruka > Mio > Rin > Kud > Komari Refrain > every story ever told :D |
 |
| Wow, I really enjoyed this episode. It's my favorite one so far. Emotion-filled indeed. |

| I had no idea so many people liked kurugayas route the best. Mine would be mio>haruka>kurugaya>kud>komari I consider rin to be conjoined with refrain as well as the OTP :p |

| And then Riki drank a lot of saltwater and started to imagine his ideal world with Mio in it and they lived happily ever after... Or do they? ... *sigh* I remember something like this in Clannad, I wonder what came first. BTW, maybe someone answered this before but I lost it: what's the name of the soundtrack that starts about 14:00? Thanks in advance. Edit: |

Not even close to refrain Refrain is the main route with the biggest tearjerker in the vn. The main route should start when Rin's arc starts airing as Refrain is a continuation of it. The track is unused track 3 |

These are considered common routes which develops Refrain. |

| Refrain makes Clannad look like only a sad anime (instead of heartbreaking). No one can comprehend how sad Refrain is, so this nothing. Also, why is everyone so concerned with the |
| Little Busters finally getting on track with those emotional scenes they're so famous for. The show before this point was enjoyable enough, but they cut down on much of the emotional value of Komari's arc. The soundtrack was absolutely beautiful - Key has a knack of combining great music with tear-jerking scenes (see: the endings of Air/Clannad After Story), and this episode didn't disappoint. I was so happy when they started playing Song for Friends. |

| I really enjoyed Mio's arc. It was wonderful as in the VN, although the latter was more detailed. Let's see if they can make a masterpiece out of Haruka's arc aswell. |
| I'm feeling thank you |
| Just finished it. Holy shit, this was actually good. and it also gave me an idea. A friend of mine who knows a bit about the entertainment industry says that when they ordered the 26 episodes, they probably did it in two sets of 13 episodes each because (somehow) it saves them money. So that got me to thinking.. Nothing in the first thirteen episodes that's really amazing happens. It was building up the backstory. So maybe the fact that this episode was so good in terms of animation and such means that what my friend said is true. They ordered it as two thirteen episode seasons. If that's true, then the good thing is that this "second season" could have a higher budget than the "first" season, which is why this episode was so much better. They could have a bigger budget since the upcoming episodes are almost all routes, which is where the "meat" of the series is and they wanted to make it good so they raised the budget. All we'll have to do is watch the next episode (with the infamous sleepover party) and maybe one more after that to tell. If what I wrote above is true then this series could really get fucking good (animation wise). This also gives me good faith that Refrain will be good. Not great, since we still have the one problem. The music placement is still fucking terrible. Whoever decides it needs to be fired. |

| Why are ppl still not aware that refrain is why you watch/play little busters |

| i just want to ask... maybe it's a stupid question but. |
|
| Omg Mio's closed-eyes smile! So cute! ;///; Mio is actually my least favorite of the girls, but I still found myself a bit moved by this episode, despite the lack of details and rushed feeling. It was, indeed, much better than Komari's route, though. Definitely looking forward to the next episode!~ =3 |
