Man I am so lost...am I the only one who feels that way? Is Refrain just different routes Riki takes with each female character?


So confused and now I need to watch the whole season to make sense of it all!

Nope Refrain isn't like that at all, Refrain is one of the biggest masterpieces ever made! :)

Wow, some crazy supernatural stuff going on.

Pretty powerful episode, very emotional at the end.

Really liking this. Reminds me of shows like Clannad, Kannon, etc..

Can't wait to see how this all unfolds.
Well of course it does, they're all Key adaptations

I just don't like to suddenly the anime have romance when in season 1 was nothing ... (That's what I didn't like so much Kurugaya's adaptation) but let's see :)

It's fine to be lost at this point. Everything will make sense in Refrain.

This is what Refrain deals with (not really a spoiler; it's like saying Rin is the main heroine lol)


(And good job for vn readers not to spoil anything, I like to lurk episode threads for anime only watcher's speculation, etc.)

Damn, this episode.... I.... I don't what to say here.... it's just simply beautiful. That ending scene and Kurugaya's route were emotionally satisfying.

And the end of Kurugaya's route, I got to say that was an impressive three episode route of hers. Next episode Riki and Rin.

The 13 episode count news is a little scary...

But as a VN reader they did a really good job fitting Kurugaya's route into 3 episodes and they even managed to remove the romance but still make it emotional, which I thought would be very hard to do.

I remain cautiously optimistic and I hope they can pull this off.

the visuals of this episode were great. That being said so were some of the ending pieces, however, they completely gutted the route. That kinda pisses me off, how can you gut the route that much and still think you can get away with it? I kept holding out to see "flashbacks" from the route its self, knowing that we started at the end and were working through only a few loops as apposed to starting from the beginning. Those flashbacks never came,

Haha, that's exactly what I was thinking. This whole time I thought that if they ever announced Refrain to be 13 episodes I'd be really disappointed, but with episode three I'm not even that worried anymore.

Hmm, except the animation which was beautifully done by J.C, other parts were a meh. It's like I couldn't get any feelings when Kurugaya said goodbye, cause honestly I didn't know what's going on or what's gonna happen next beside it's a time loop.

wonder if it's the adaptation itself or the source materials but fantasy elements in little buster seems a bit "forced" than they were in Clannad(exclude the ending when everything was reset to normal and all lived happily ever after).

Tbh im gonna vote 3- It was okay - but I really like Kurugaya in this arc, she has the strongest impacts than any other female characters up to now in LB! anime.

this is where you speculate, because everything she said is sad due to the context.

maybe come back to this episode after you watch refrain.

Yeah thanks :). Although this ep didn't leave enough impression on me. But comparing between the first season, this season is way better and J.C has improved a lot(the arts, animation, and even comedy scenes are more enjoyable than they were before). I really look forward to it.

You can do it yourself by playing the visual novel, or stop being lazy and go google it, read wiki, and they even have a thread talking about visual novel outside ...

You are missing something because the vital piece is explained in Refrain. Maybe if you tried speculating what the Secrets of the World was, you wouldn't be hating on this series so much >.>

Is it me or they left Kurugaya's route a little bit too ambiguous a the end?
Like, she barely hints that she's in love with Riki, and instead talks about protecting Rin. I don't know much about the VNs but I know for sure that Kurugaya was in love with Riki so much that she couldn't let go of her dream, that was the main reason.

Weird, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth, she deserved a better end.

Lets just say to those that have read the visual novel already this is actually quite satisfying.

Also for a person who feels that this adaption was utterly bad in comparison to the original. This episode and the last actually surprised me in a good way.

Kurugaya's wish was to experience emotions - especially love. She was able to attain that wish and decided to end the 6/20 loop. It's not a plot hole. Everything's explained near the end of Refrain.
