At least you're one of the few people that pay attention to the details. I applaud your effort :3


Yeah, it's nice to see Anime Only Viewers take guesses :D Have an anime-only friend who's currently trying to figure shit out. It's funny how he was throwing so many ridiculous ideas at me, then actually got it right, then moved on without knowing he was correct XD

I hope JC Staff leaves an impression with the next few episodes and can manage to get a lot of new faces to appear on the forums come episode 11.

Well, the source material for the next few episodes is certainly fantastic and look how they adapted this episode. If they're adapted to the level of this episode, then I think the ending to Refrain is in safe hands. Hopefully.

Another Speculations


One more attempt at helping as fellow speculators (I hope without hinting too much):


I won't help/confirm this any further since it will be too helpful for speculation aid. Please note that since I am also speculating I could be wrong. However given that I already followed most of Maeda's works and I wrote a story years ago following a question that I think was unanswered in Clannad, I think thematically LB is indeed the culmination of Maeda's career. That's why I'm pretty sure about my speculation this time.

...I have no words for this.

I never imagined I would cry this badly so early (I only cried once in Clannad AS like I did in this episode). Wonder how bad I will be crying in 2 episodes.

I really thought this would be a "bad" episode again; but at the end it really hit me hard

I think this was my second favorite episode so far. Second to Kurugaya annihilating door-kun. Very well done and definitely had that emotional suspense during the later half of the episode. Kengo isda man.

Wow, this episode was actually pretty damn good!
Will this make me cry sometime? Maybe... maybe not.

Another episode of starting the little busters again, and we also saw the childhood between Kyousuke and Kengo.
After Riki and Rin have Masato joined the little busters, they have Kengo now.

Hey, what happened to Kyousuke at the end?

I really like the background musics of this series.

I think the next episode is when the little busters completed, and after that episode is the end of the world.
I'm looking forward to the next episodes.

It's hard to take Masato serious when his Berserk mode lasted only one episode
So much revealed this time and the narcolepsy seems to be paired with short time memory loss like some of the seniors do
It's understandable now why Riki's friends would get mentally tired of retrying over and over again

Kengo's backstory itself wasn't that impressive as going into another baseball battle
Rin's pitcher change was expected as well

At least hearing the last song was great again

holy fuck a little hint of wtf is going on finally

if they're trying to wrap things up in the end with all this nonsense shit then it better be worth it because i can't handle all this rage for wasting my fucking time any longer

fuck this MC is annoying as fuck though

EDIT: oh i see what's going on..

MC forgets stuff when he went derp and everyone around him tries their best to help him regain what had happened over and over and over and over again... some couldn't take it any more and had to leave (ie. the hot bish and other girls)

hopefully i'm on the right track here...

Well, it look like there was a bit of truth in what I said. Kyousuke feel depressed because is last plan didn't work and that it had put his little sister in a bliss. But there is something that bother me, why Kyousuke screamed ''the truth about the secret isn't it this world!!''«6 Why did he said that? What was he trying to achieve with all his manipulations of events? He seemed so sure of himself, but in the end he failed miserably... He looked so pathetic at the end, it was really sad.

Again, the transition between Kyousuke saving Kengo and Riki saving him in a similar way. It look like Riki become stronger days by days.

Ehhh, now I'll do a big speculation, I feel like I catched something I shouldn't had :


PLEASE, BE A HAPPY ENDING SOMEHOW.

I'm really starting to get lost. Kengo says this has happened before so meaning it takes place in the same timeline. But then it's a different world right. I'm getting lost. Where did all the other girls go to?! Did they just disappear?!

It's time to discover why the world loops.

Kengo's arc was strong, but Riki and Rin's development was fucking heartwarming. I definitely had tears welling up this episode. They got a lot stronger since the beginning off the story.

Rin somewhat recovered her memories, I wonder when Riki will recover his. Dam that was sad for Kengo. I wonder how Kyousuke got all roughed up.

Great, Kengo has been cleared now, I still really want to understand what is the secret of this world and what Kyousuke really did, what he's able to do and what he knows that Riki doesn't know, seems like we'll get the answer soon since there are only 4 episodes left, with the title of the next one I can expect a reset/loop (?)

This time the episode focuses on Kengo and making him join the Little Busters

This really made Kyousuke look so depressed after everything that happened I didn't anticipate that he'll be like this until the day that he shuts himself in the room

That was a very interesting challenge although it did defeat the purpose of a one on one but glad to make Kengo's eyes open that he doesn't always need to win.

This series is definitely confusing. 🥲
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.
