| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I cannot contend myself anymore. As the OP passed and I saw the following,  That scene alone made me melt of MOE for Noumi. It’s incredible and there is another instance we see her in the OP. Noumi is totally adorable. About the beginning, the start did a really good job with the intro of Riki along with Masato in the spoiler The flashback in the spoiler About the OP, what can be said of the OP in the spoiler About the game, as the game progresses much is appreciated as a nice start out of Rin in the spoiler The end result in the locker room in the spoiler About Sasami Sasasegawa VS Rin, I loved that first encounter in the spoiler  Priceless face is priceless there and the one in the spoiler About meeting Komari Kamikita, I like that name Komari. Meeting Komari was a little surprising considering how Komari was in the spoiler About the ED, I really like in the spoiler About the preview, the forecast in the spoiler That being said the start really gives vibes from Air to Kanon and Clannad mixed in even with some Angels Beats. That being said the BGM is great and just heartwarming fuzzy feelings. The drama may catch off guard sometimes. So I should watch out for those. This is going to be the rides of the rides and this is simply amazing to have feelings going back to the classics of Air, Clannad, Kanon and Angel Beats. I have giggled and had a most intense fun during this whole episode. Oh and no need for anything now other than a 10/10 and I doubt anything lower than 9/10 it will amount to. SHAME on the negative comments before this started. For this series IMO has lots of great positive in it. BTW Image Stitches and Pic Dump is done in the BLOG: http://ecchiking99.blogspot.ca/2012/10/pic-dump-and-image-stitches-of-little_24.html Lots of great stuff of Rin and Masato. |

| I could barely hear the audio during a live stream of TokyoMX I watched online :( Shall rewatch it again when a better RAW is out. The anime seems pretty faithful to the Visual Novel, judging by this episode. Might edit later when I rewatch it. |

| Totally geeked out while watching the stream. xD Looks like J.C Staff is finally making up for themselves with this one, in terms of being faithful with the source material. |
 |
The first episode is good they animated all VN scenes  MASATO FTW!!!  Damn i hate this group 4/5 Cant wait too see KUD !! |
aiueowaveOct 6, 2012 7:44 AM
| Anyway, Komari's smile at the end. I already said before I could not pick my favorite, although Mio and Kud are just a little above the others. Komari and Haruka follow along with Rin. Especially Komari because I finished her route first, and although her story was most unrealistic I somehow cried the most on that route :P And then Kurugaya, when I heard that piano :P Also what I noticed in LB, it is going to turn me into keyfag again. Why you ask? Well it is completely the same as other Key shows. Everything starts happy, funny, it simply makes you feel like it is going to be one of those happy/happy anime. And then it turns for worse. I love Key :P I am happy to finally put this on my anime list, to join the other Key works :D |

| Must wait until subs come out! >_< I can't believe it's finally airing after so long :) The battle with Rin and Sasami was great, and I liked the ending with Komari. The OP and ED were both amazing ^^ It's nice to see that J.C. Staff is sticking to the original source, but since they probably won't make a second season, I just hope that they don't rush it. |

| Mio in that tree shadow in opening. So awesome :P |
|
| Rin is a none-con! |

| My mother was born just to give birth to me for me to watch this. |

But rin lost the fight huh? i always won in the game.. |

| Removed all posts that weren't about this episode. Please only post after you have seen this episode and can contribute to the discussion (not just "I saw the raw but I didn't understand it, will wait for the subs"). Do not discuss where to watch this episode. Also, no links to copyrighted material. |
 |
| J.C. is off to a very VERY awesome start. Stayed very faithful to the VN. I especially loved that fight at the beginning, Masato always seems to have the worst kind of luck when it comes to the fights. Rin is still a legendary no-con! XD The meeting with Komari will be next, can't wait to see that! <3 Komari. Overall, I am absolutely psyched, they're going through pretty fast which is good imo, would like to see more time put into the actual route adaptions rather than the common route. Great atmosphere in this adaption too, I am extremely happy. ^^ |
-Kenshin-Oct 6, 2012 8:33 AM
| My favorite three parts :D Number 1: Komari's smile. I just loved that part, "I just hit my head, wow you are cute" also, so MOE xD Number 2: Rin's "I don't give a shit" face Number 3: Just epic face saying "I just beat a crap out of ya!" I see Yumekichi already posted these pics. Damn, I really hoped to be first this time. When did your post become so big when it was so small at first :D |

| Well, I liked the artwork for this series tbh and this first episode was pretty good. I haven't played the VN yet but it seems that the atmosphere and setting fits right. I won't compare these to some of other Key's works or give a rating yet as this is the first episode and hard to judge entire series based on the pilot but so far, it looks pretty good. |

| Images are too big please hide them in a spoiler tag or something.. :P |

mistress_kisara said: Images are too big please hide them in a spoiler tag or something.. :P Well, they looked good to me, so I didn't notice :D Anyway, done :P |
|
| Done watching the raw. My opinions: 1. Is it only me or most of the conversations are too fast as if they're rushing something? 2. Sasami's pitch seems lower than in the VN. Dunno if I'm going to used the new VA of her. >_> And I thought Haruka is the one who will show up since in the VN, she's the first girl who showed up then Komari. It seems we will see Komari's arc first? I don't what to say about this first start of the series. Will re-watch this again for subs. ;D |

Engix said: 1. The anime for sure is more fast paced then the VN, most likely because of time constraints. 2.It is because they had to change voice actors. In the VN Riki, Sasami, and Rin all have the same voice actors. 1. Maybe I was used from their VN conversation pacing than this one LOL. 2. I know. I'm just saying since I miss Tomoe's Sasami's voice. >_> |

Overall im pleased with the anime, it is NOOOOOOOOWhere near how bad i thought it would be And when I was among those who said not to judge it before it was out nobody gave a f**k. We were right..!!! |

| Enjoy the OP and ED, they are both very nice :D |
RiukixD said: Enjoy the OP and ED, they are both very nice :D They really look nice :D I really love opening. As for the Alicemagic, not bad song, I don't really like it, but ending, animation looks great. Especially a short piece of it when Haruka jumps around Riki. She is so cute :D |

| They keep the original alicemagic as the ending but its another little busters remix for the opening.... i feel so... betrayed |

It depends on how they decide to adapt the routes that will really make or break this anime. I thought the animation quality in this first episode was so ok it's average. There were also way too many still frames and the like. Still, I'll wait for the subbed episode to really put out my final judgement. |
| it's good.. better than my expectation but can it fit all routes + refrain with this pacing? |
yozayoyo said: but can it fit all routes + refrain with this pacing? Who knows. That's what I am wondering also but it's too early to tell since we're at the common route. |

But personally I prefer the Ecstasy version. Same here, but I guess a new version of the OP after listening to the other 2 to death is a nice change xD |

| It's above average for sure. I don't know about the original and even though i accidentally read the spoilers it's still good. |
| Cheap animation as expected from JC staff. |

Everything is just wrong, why, God why ;U; It was one of my favourite games OTL you know if you hate it this much, no one is forcing you to watch it. also if you can understand anything from the raw, he did say the title and the written part was comedic. Kyoani's Clannad did the exact same thing with Fuko so that isn't J.C. staffs fault |
| Hardcore fans who can't tolerate the little change in the anime version should drop and stay away. |
| It was awesome. See? JC Staff is doing a good job! |

Kyoani's Clannad did the exact same thing with Fuko so that isn't J.C. staffs fault I kind of agree with the fact that they are using the soundtrack poorly. It doesn't sound very good. They use a song for 10-20 seconds, stop it, and then replay the same exact song from the start again. Argh, that didn't sound too good. But the trend with everyone in anime looking like kids has been going on for years. Seriously, look at anime from 1990-2010~, and you can see the character designs get younger and younger looking the further along you go. |
maccha said: Hardcore fans who can't tolerate the little change in the anime version should drop and stay away. ^This As a VN reader myself, I think J.C. is doing really well in the adaption. The art may not be preferable to some, but I think the character designs are really good. The VA for Riki may seem off as well, but compared to having Rin's VA cover his lines, I think Yui Horie is preferable. |
yuiriko said: Is Clannad your only example? Yes, because that's one of the VN that I played which KyoAni used the game OSTs. If you also thought that Clannad VN OSTs doesn't suit in the anime series, then no comment. |
|
| My only gripe would be Riki's voice which is too feminine(yeah I know Hocchan is doing him) and Kyosuke's voice is too deep for a high school student. Being Masato is suffering, getting beat up like that. And voiced by Nobutoshi Canna. He's a cool dude though, Masato. And Rin is cute. I liked what I saw and I'm looking forward to this show. inb4 VN readers complai- too late I guess. |

All or most of the OSTs are from the VN and it does fit perfectly. Is Clannad your only example? And it's not like I hate the whole anime, but I was so excited about the adaptation, and it didn't turn out like I've expected. It's like with Chaos;head, for me the game is much better than the anime, some people even recomment playing it and not watching the adaptation. Some of my friends that haven't played LB but watched the first ep says that it looks boring, I just don't want people to think of LB as a bad series, only cuz of the anime orz Sa-chan used Clannad as the example because 1. They are both Key games. 2.Kyoani animated that and you were clearly trying to blame J.C. Staff for doing the same thing. face it, even if Kyoani or even any others did this adaption it would be the same OSTs as the VN |
