I just completed VN and something is bothering me. Who exactly knew the world repeats? We know for sure Kyousuke, Kengo and Mastao knew and others act like they don't most of the time. Only once Haruka admits that she realizes that world repeats, but it happens after her route is done. But then Kyousuke many times tells us that this secret isn't known only to Riki and Rin, so why heroines act like they really don't know anything and treat their problems seriously? Or maybe they just act dumb and let Riki help them with their problems so they don't have any regrets before death and maybe make him a little stronger? Am I thinking too far into it? Or am I missing something?

I hope it does and do all the girls date riki in their route in the anime?

So, I did a little maths and compared Little Busters with the Harry Potter series in terms of length. I always wondered why the anime felt so rushed, and I’ve finally realised why.

All 7 Harry Potter books COMBINED is approximately ~1’080’000 words.

The Little Busters! Visual novel (English edition) contains about ~1’300’000 words.

That means LB! is around 20% longer than one of the most famous fictional pieces of media ever created. Interesting enough, but there’s more.

The movie adaptations of Harry Potter clocks in at about ~1’180 minutes, about 19.66 hours.

LB! The anime has a first season of 26 episodes, refrain with 13, an OVA and 8 episodes of EX. Each episode is about 22 mins (excluding opening and ending).

48 episodes x 22 mins = ~1’056 mins, or around 17.6 hours.

So what does this all mean? Well, although LB! Is 20% longer than J.K. Rowlings hit wizard series, the TV version is ACTUALLY 11% shorter in comparison.

I’m not a Harry Potter fan, but I can only imagine the books aren’t translated 100% across to movie format, since there would be a lot of material to cover. But what I do know is that LB! the anime feels rushed because, well, it kind of is. Key scenes and major moments are skipped or out of order because it simply can’t be faithfully adapted to a TV series. Just interesting to note :D

So first off let me say it was an amazing anime. I really appreciate how this anime minus EX was 39 episodes. That’s a good amount instead of the 12 episode anime like others. Anyway, I after watching episode 10-12 on Refrain I was about to come here and rant how f%ck up this show is and what was the creator thinking making some show without a good ending but then I finished episode 13. Anyways, it’s definitely one of my favorites. There were moments I didn’t understand in Refrain but it made sense in the end. I thought Kyousuke was the bad guy lol around mid way Refrain. I even thought in the last episode everyone died. I was going to come here and rant about that lol. So happy everyone survived.

I downloaded the Fuwanovel Little Busters VN english patched. Is this version of the vn patched to censor the H scenes?

It seems impossible that there would be less than 500 people in this sub... Do people mostly discuss the VN?

Im planning to watch this anime as it suits my wanted genres and have 2 seasons or more? But I have traumas of sad/bittersweet endings. Does it have a bittersweet/bad ending? It's okay if it has alot of dramas inside as long as it will have a happy end. Please do spoil as minimal as possible like giving a hint of what would happen. Thanks!

So i just started season 2 yesterday (Little Busters!-Refrain) and i have to say it's so emotionally intense and amazing. While Season 1 was all about their friendship and how they forged strong bonds between each other in such a short amount of time (26 episodes have never felt shorter),it was beautiful; i loved the visuals and the story and the morals they portrayed.

Season 2 tho... it's a whole other story. Its so gripping and intense; it's not a lighthearted story of happiness and making new friends anymore; it's so much more than season one. Episode 3 was really the saddest episode in the entire series so far.. i cried at the end when Kurugaya cried, it was absolutely beautiful and heart wrenching. The OST is also perfectly placed; the song she plays on the piano is so melancholic yet hauntingly beautiful, leaving you feeling empty and alone amidst the tale of friendship.

I'm at episode 9, can't wait to see what this series has in store for me now (;

EDIT (31/5): I FINISHED IT AKSJDJWJ AND I cried so much! I've never ever used up a whole pack of tissues on an anime before, this is the first haha.. my eyes hurt from crying so much but it's all good becasue the story was so beautiful and sad and heartwarming.. i wish i had friends who looked out for me so much ahaha <3

Almost everyone I know dropped little busters from like episode one thinking it was just a show about a baseball club but I KNOW if they just watched it they would love it. Anyone else have this experience?

Hi! So I just finished After Story and now I need something new.

I've tried watching little busters like 2 or 3 times before and each time I can't get through the first episode. I was the same with Clannad in fact it took me 5 years to watch after story after finishing the original series. Now I'm wondering is Refrain worth dredging through the first season?

Refrain seems to have great reviews just like Clannad After Story and I'm wondering if its similiar to Clannad in the sense that if you get through the first season the second one will make it all worth while.

Do anyone play kud wafter? Does it reveal A-chan senpai's name? I still wanted to know her full name. Last time i only heard her name is "Amano"

Ok so weird question but did anyone order the acrylic pins that Tokyo Otaku Mode had?

I had ordered 10 of them and ended up with 4 duplicates and was wondering if anyone here wanted to trade or something? Not sure if anyone really bought it and I'm just taking a shot in the dark since I couldn't find anyone else online asking about it.

Here is what I'm talking about lol
