| Holy shit. I'm intrigued as to what happens to Kud next as much as I'm about those other 2 guys seemingly disappearing. That means I'm very much interested, which means I'm entertained quite alot. |
| What a marvelous episode ^^ There was a lot of feels and the mood has been set pretty well. By the way, did you guys pay attention to the voicing? As someone already mentioned, Kud's voice acting was kinda cheap this time. She did much better in the VN. I wonder what's wrong with the seiyu. HOWEVER, did you notice how awesome Komari's voice acting was? She doesn't have many lines in this episode but those few were really emotional. I did get the feeling she's improved a lot compared to her VN role (which doesn't mean she was bad or anything) but now I have definite proof of it. Foreshadowing and hinting were well done, changes in the route were managed pretty well. Thumbs up, J.C. Staff. |

I agree Kud's voice acting felt toned down, also Komari's voice was much more interesting. I also liked Rin's voice acting and the development of Rin this episode. Really that foreshadowing for Rin. o.0 |

| I have been sacrificing goats all week hoping the little doggie girl will die horribly next week, but probably won't happen. Sad really, but I hate everyone of these characters and wish this show would just somehow disappear. It's some of the most asinine, emotionally overcooked melodrama I have ever seen. I would like to see it end with all the characters taking a super melodramatic suicide pact which they all decide to have a competition for the most painful death ever. |

| ... too bad they didn't include any romance. I guess asking them to show Kud's awesome confession was a simply too much. Still, the farewell scene was pretty well done. Especially kud's last line - 'Proshaite' Every time she speaks russian, it feels like the words are touching my heart directly. Is it just me? |

I just hope they're saving some for my Kurugaya (we already know Rin's getting some ><) I thought that Kud's last line was pretty nice, as she remains proud of her heritage as she travels back home. What was so special about the phrase though? |

What was so special about the phrase though? There actually wasn't anything special about it per se. It was pretty much what the subs said: Proshaite = Farewell. The word you use when you don't expect to see the people ever again. So maybe it's really just me after all. Seems like using Russian has a special effect on me since it's something like my second native language. Well, at the same time I kinda get goosebumps if they misspronounce some words or names ^^ |

Also as people said above, it's all just for her background and such. |

The dialogue will be important, I want to see a Mio-esque scene too since it'll be animated. The preview made it look pretty good though. |

| Sadly, I don't know anything about that chair custom. However... I guess I'll take this opportunity to explain Kud's little 'curse'/good luck charm: ni puha ni pera ni puha ni pera - neither fluff nor feather how it's really used: It's a good luck charm, somewhat comparable to the english 'break a leg!'. A custom among hunters. While sending a hunter off, you tell him "ni puha ni pera" - "neither fluff nor feather", basically wishing for him to catch neither mammals nor birds - pretty much wishing him to fail his hunt. Now the hunter must reply with "k chertu!" - "to hell with that!" (literally: "to the devil") and the good luck charm is complete. Answering with something along the lines of "thank you" would destroy the good luck charm and bring misfortune. It's used on various occasions. For example, my parents send me off with that line on days where I have important tests If you wish to do some more research on it, go ahead. There are some good explanations on the internet. Most of them involve a 'curse of bad eye'. Basically, it means that wishing good things directly was believed to bring bad luck. how KEY uses it: Now the interesting part: Little Busters uses a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT interpretation of that line. I don't know where the heck they got it from but it goes as follows: (It might be used and/or explained in the next episode, so if you want to hear it in the anime first, skip this spoiler for now.) By the way, did I already tell how much I appreciate Futaki's role as Kud's roommate? She did her job quite well in the VN. I'm looking forward to observe the same in the Anime (hopefully). |

I see, that explanation clears quite a bit up. I also agree with the epicness of having Futaki as her roommate, so many good scenes come from it. The anime seemed to show a bit of it as well in the episode with her talking to Kud and being there during the infirmary scene. It's interesting how the anime can portray Futaki in such a better light, well unless you played her route in the VN. |

| This episode was some really bad example of audio and music editing to the point it destoyed some scenes for me. From story point of view it was good - literally whole episode was full of foreshadowing. And I don't really get that thing with her mother. How could it be her dogtag when that flight took place in 1957? She shouldn't be THAT old, right? |

| Wow! Too bad I watched this episode that late - so much of foreshadowing and hints! Haven't expected that in the anime. Especially Kud talking to Kyousuke. Episode was alright, though why are everybody running away so much? This time we had Kud twice and Riki chasing after Rin, but I feel like this is happening every single episode ;) Since I'm not big fan of Kud's arc, I can't wait for last two episodes! And after that second season, of course. RyanSaotome said: zakkun89 said: Whoa, that would have so much bigger impact, if that was the cause. |

| D-Dat preview... Looks like shit will hit the fan in the next episode. I also heard that Little Busters! won't end with 26 episodes, I wonder if they're going for another season or DVD-specials/BD-specials. I really like the adaptation after my initial hating. But it looks like the best part(s) is(/are) still to come! |

Wulf5 said: AHAHA I LOLED so hard at Masato's crying face when Kud was leaving XD He was the only guy to cry XD Nice moment there His face was funny but I had some good feels from it too xD |
| Wow! Simply amazing, I would have never expected something like a rocket explosion including a family member of a character in any form of Japanese entertainment. The way it was executed was simply fantastic, and I don't even know how it was in the VN. At the start of the series I didn't really know which direction it was going, and I still don't exactly know. I find that really interesting because I like mystery stuff. I found it somewhat weird that some characters were missing when seeing Kud off. Either way, this show can't almost be ruined anymore. It's absolutely raised to a 10 out of 10 now. |

Vladz0r said: The writing and scene placement, especially with Kyousuke and Kud, and Riki and Kud during the second half of the episode was excellent. They're building up Kud's story very well to wrap up her route next episode. Feels will be expected next week. And I teared up when Masato did was waiting for someone to point this out, seeing him tear up did it for me ;_; |
| Kud :'( Some great backstory on her and well she left Japan, so I wonder what she'll find at her destination! Really great episode, a sad one but a wonderful one! Lets see what's next! ~Wafu! |
 |
| I knew it! I'm going to put it in the spoiler if some people didn't realise it already. Ultimate theory about everything so far incoming, LOOK AT YOUR OWN RISK! Damn, this episode was so intense due to the things above. It both gave me a pretty bad feeling and a surge of excitement :S Oh, and I really don't wanna see Kud in the situation from the preview :( |

| Another emotional episode. Really liked it, though I wasn't that affected by it. |
 |
| You definitely can tell something is going on in the background. Kyousuke, the field trip papers, the wierd screen flashes of papers, people, and fire. Something is going down. |
 |
| oh God no... :( this arc finally start I cant seeing that face of kud :( looks like it is getting serious now.. I hope the mother is safe.. Please God.. give me a happy ending... and.. about the end.. wait.. is Kud said "goodbye" in russian? oh no... it is not happen right?! |
| 5/5 This episode has kidnapped me just enough to make me shed a few tears, the plot is not so irritating and forced to make even the narration is quite good. I hope you do not overdo it in the next episode, since the promo portends a trip to Kuu-chan is not just the best, even the chains ... Well! Drawings and animations sufficient. Kudo is my favorite character, I wonder who that new character appeared for a moment near Riki! * _ * |
 |
| No more Kud? It can't be :( |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Wait there's more to Kud's arc!?! I thought it just ended! |
 |
| I really wanna know what she said in russian at the very end! Damnit! Anyway, I really thought that tag was a soldier tag, but it was one of her many treasures from her mom. Her story is quite sad. She's just not made to be an astronaut, but she feel she would deceive her mom... Poor Wafuu T.T THe next episode look like Wafuu-chan is in a shitty situation. Why is she all bruised and why is she chained (if it's her that is chained). |
| «Time is passing so quickly. Right now, I feel like complaining to Einstein. Whether time is slow or fast depends on perception. Relativity theory is so romantic. And so sad.» - Kurisu Makise a.k.a. The Zombie |
| Alright, I had some tears starting to develop this episode. Woah, what's with those visions Riki had? Also Mio and Haruka didn't pick up their phones. The girl at 13:20 sounded a lot like Mio. Way too much. Mio and Haruka also weren't there to see Kud go. What's happening?! Where are they!? I hope Kud comes back. I really do. This is what I want! Emotions! This is the key I like! Make me cry! Also anyone suspicious about Kyousuke? I feel like he's the one putting those notes on the cats for Rin and Riki to accomplish. |
| good episode...a bit stretched at some points I hope Kud will keep her promise and return :) and that she will arrive there in one piece, lol 4/5 |

| here we go next ep gonna be big |
 |
| I'm worried for Kud but glad she decided to follow her feelings. |
| It was definitely better that she went back home. |
 |
| Good bye Kud, make sure you come back, Wafu. |
