Okay, I'll try to be as concise as possible:

Story: 8.

This is a story of love between a lonely boy and a happy-go-lucky girl (who used to be really shy and calm) after not having seen each other for years. They obviously have changed and it is like a "second opportunity" story. Even though it is mostly like "the typical shojo anime" one strong point is that it doesn't focus only in the main story (the one of the leading characters) but also in the stories of the supporting characters.

A negative point of this anime is that the most exciting events aren't shown, as ... they will happen later... but it is a good start and indeed a nice tv adaptation, pretty loyal to the manga.

Art: 8.

Shojo-like art, with decent character design, backgrounds and all that. I didn't like some of the colours chosen (for example Touma's hair or even Futaba's. Her hair is okay, but I would have expected a lighter brown.). Facial expressions are probably the best of the art, they are really funny.

Sound: 8.

The OP is really appropiate, the lyrics absolutely fit the anime's story. The rest of the OST is nice too.

Characters: 9

I really like how every single character has an unique and pretty complex personality. They aren't exactly stereotypical characters and they are far from being perfect. In addition, they start to become more mature little by little, changing constantly and accepting their reality... without forgetting what they want to achieve. Moreover, they make a nice friends gang.

Enjoyment: 9

I have enjoyed this show soooo much that I continued reading online the manga, even if I really hate reading online. Right now, I'm even buying the manga because it has been licensed in my country. This is a story that has never bored me, specially because I strongly identify myself with Futaba. I hope another season of the anime is produced because the best is about to come!

Overall: 9. Nice anime but still can improve.

This second season is even better than the first one.

If LB is a happier anime, LB Refrain is much more dramatic and intense, yet beautiful. What I liked the most was the evolution of the main characters (Riki, Rin and specially Kyousuke) and how every single piece of this complex puzzle started to make sense. Be sure to pay attention to every single hint!

Another relevant and positive point of this season is that it is definitely catching: I got addicted to it.

Even the opening is better than the first one... well, maybe not better, but much more appropiate to this part of the ... series. It's sadder and a bit dark, but hiding a ray of light in it. If you study the lyrics in depth after having watched the show, you'll discover how accurate they are.

To conclude, I consider this season a masterpiece, from its intense beginning to its surprising and moving end.

If you liked CLANNAD, Air and Kanon, you'll probably love this show!

Little Busters combines two topics: the secret of the world they live in and the special friendship between a group of teenagers who used to be alone.

What I liked the most about this anime were the individual stories of each character, because they are really touching and made me reflect about friendship, family or even about human values such as courage or tenacy. In addition, some little but important details about "the secret of the world" are slightly revealed, so that I started guessing which was that "hidden truth".

The art is as ... beautiful as in CLANNAD or the other shows I've mentioned before. Make sure to watch this show in HQ, if possible, it definitely deserves it! Concerning the OST, I couldn't resist myself to listen and relisten to the opening, sung by Rita. The ambient music is also pretty and calm.

Generally speaking, the characters are pretty complex and moving. I specially like the cheerful Haruka. In spite of that, some character stories could have been developed more in depth.

Overall, this has been an emotional and interesting anime which I really recommend.

Planning to watch a breathtaking and captivating anime with complex characters, relaxing ost and a really pleasant art? Then , probably Kokoro Connect is your choice!

A fast paced story where the character's feelings towards their friends are revealed... with intense, comical, romantic and shocking scenes... Concerning its setting, it isn't mainstream at all! This could be just an slice of life/romance anime, but it isn't. It has got a definitely catching supernatural side, because everything that occurs during the anime is due to "strange phenomena". Consequently, the audience will probably feel empathy towards the characters and even reflect about what would happen if something like ... that occured in real life!

To sum up, I think you will be delighted if you give an opportunity to this intense anime specially because of the huge number of emotions revealed by the characters, who evolve constantly throughout the anime events. When you've finished watching the first 13 episodes, don't forget to watch the 4 OVAs! They definitely deserve it ;)
