Nice to see Sasami make a debut in this episode :p She seems cute when she sparkles lol and those moments when she 'powers up'. Oh God.

Otherwise, I liked this episode especially with Rin. Oh the preview looked kinda nice. Kud pointing into the sky for some sort of intent ;o

Not a bad episode, but still, they should've kept to Kud's arc. :(
Another challenge from Lennon solved and that guy got his phone number with Sasasegawa. :P
Also, never try to pull something over Kengo, it just won't ever happen, lol.

At least Kud's arc will be continuing next week!

It is out already, but some people watch it through live streams from people who have access to the airing show.

Ok episode. i wish they put a bit more emphasis in the raging meow ball. (BTW idk if you guys have noticed but they used that same Rin pitch animation 7 times now)

couple shots of QUALITY were expected due to not being a kud episode (lol).

best part was seeing the kengo shenanigans animated as well as the rap. now.. onto Kud's route!

Definitely agree that Kud's route should have finished before this.

The baseball scene was practically butchered though T__T Well, at least Rin unlocked 1/3 pitches? (kinda sad about the lack of curveball and change up)

Other than that, it's was extremely cute to see an animated version of Rin playing with her cats XD I also loved the mission they attempted on Kengo. I'm definitely happy to see that part executed well

The rap was so random! I laughed at it. xD And taking down Kengo didn't go according to plan.

It was a nice episode and Rin did a pretty good job in here. When Rin asked the girls about how to get someone you like to like you back, I knew they would ask if Rin is in love with someone. xD Then Kurugaya interrupted "in love with me, I hope". xDD Haha!

Lots of Rin goodness but Sasami wouldn't get left behind especially when she was admiring Kengo. That face was so priceless. :'3

Waiting for the continuation of Kud's arc next week!

I loved all the humor that came from Rin being so blunt and straightforward about everything. To me, Rin embodies what the Little Busters are all about, whether it's helping each other or someone new.

Also fun to see the beginnings of a belligerent friendship between Rin and Sasasasa Sasami. The most similar friendship that comes to mind is Gintoki/Hijikata from Gintama, which worked out great. Also nice to see some good Kengo screentime, it was fun how un-phased he was both by Sasami's attentions and Rin/Riki's zaniness. And hip-hop kid was pretty amusing too for haplessly getting strung along by Rin's schemes.

Theres still some common route stuff left too, and it was heavily rumored by some tweet from the staff that Sasami will get her route animated too. Theres plenty of stuff still to go.

hahahahaha oh JC staff, you just have to make it clear that it's you.
love the shakugan no shana-esque scenes with rin, epic win!

too bad they had to use an entire episode for a small (but somewhat significant) part from the VN. wish they had put in one or two more common route scenes into this episode *cough*jumper*cough*, but it was still ok overall.

back to kud route next week, wonder how they're gonna pull off the "paint"?
seeing as the anime is meant for friendship over romance with the girls.

While I laughed many times this episode, is the common route really this boring and insignificant? I don't see why Kud's route would be interrupted for this. And is Kud stripping in the preview?!

This was one of the most significant common route episodes yet. It just might not seem like it at first.

Boring, sure. But insignificant, probably but this series shows us about their friendship since LB is friendship and childhood theme and the Common Route wants us to get attached to the characters so that depends on you.

Oh, I see. I guess I'm in for a real surprise when the show connects all of these threads together. Sa-chan_, don't get me wrong; I'm already attached to the cast of Little Busters. They're one of my favorites. And I think that's why this episode was a bit lacking for me; they didn't appear much in it.

Sure. I never thought your question in a negative way since you're asking about the Common Route to begin with.

UTW is translating all the names right :c Pretty sure Rin said Zazami at least once

Did Rin say Sasasegawa Sazami or something when Riki said it's close? XD

Fun episode today, finally get to see some of my favorite heroine's route today! Rin and Sasasegawa in the same scene is just meant to funny shit to happen. A new task from Lennon about to cure a lovestrucken guy from the higher class. and of course it is going to be a comedy episode when Rin is going to take charge and fix this in her accord!

The set up fight against Kengo was adapted really well, just as it happened in the VN, so no complain there and hopefully somewhere in the near future, Sasami will have her own route animated as well. Though I'm yet to play her route.

J.C. Staff and the animation wasn't that good, there was some scenes that was poorly done and been disliking that since the start of the show pretty much. I'm not even sure how well Refrain will be done with this kind of budget. A bit worried.

I personally wouldn't mind more Rin episodes, but Kud needs her route as well, and it's one of the better ones in the show. Bring it on! Wafu~
