But yeah LB! (first season) is all about having the character's develop their friendship and having fun before they graduate, at least in the first season. So most of the characters will act like little children at times and embrace their youth while it still lasts. IMO only komari and kud may at times act like 5 yr olds but hey, its only for the sake of having fun.


Wouldn't have been me in this thread. The last time I posted would have been in the ep 5 thread when it aired to announce that I was dropping it. It's good to know that someone else feels the same way though, if it wasn't me.

It's not just Kud and Komari, most of the girls act like five year olds, though those two are the worst. There seemed to be something mentally wrong with the new girl that was introduced this episode too. Was she seriously standing there with her hands over her eyes waiting for someone to come along? And did she seriously think someone would have trouble guessing who she was because she was covering her eyes? That is actually something I'm sure a 5 year old would think and do.

It's called fooling around. You know, the stuff school children do to enjoy their youth. Don't simply assume that people only ever do stupid things because they lack intelligence.
Also, if you go around an anime and search for things to complain about, then something's seriously wrong with your approach. If the show doesn't fit your tastes, it's not neccessarily bad.

You've seen most of other KEY works (Kanon, Clannad, Angel Beats) and rated them pretty well, so I really don't know what your problem is.

@egnaro315 just look a few posts further up. The one who made the first 5-year-old-stuff comment was Michi666 and the issue was about voices, which I explained

Her hide-and-seek is part of Haruka's genki attitude and constant gag jokes.
I guess for some reason, you thought Haruka was supposed to be an extremely serious and dimwitted character.
Meh I'd say more but you dropped it anyway. (At least according to your profile, but then why would you still be here?)

You managed to look over quirky things like Yukiatsu's crossdressing for Ano Hana for the emotional impact at the end. Little Busters is supposed to be a comical, hearty, and later emotionally driven story. Some of the execution and animation was poorly done in the earlier episodes, but if you stick around, you won't be disappointed with what the story has to offer in the end.

Yes, I would still be disappointed, even if the story becomes wonderful and full of unexpected twists. You know why? Because from experience, I know I cannot enjoy a great story unless I like the characters.
Ano Hana, on the other hand, had characters I loved. If the characters were all crappy like in LB then I wouldn't have liked Ano Hana at all, even if the plot was the same. And the crossdressing was understandable given Yukiatsu's mental state. It's not really comparable.

Well, not much we can do about personal tastes.
Still, among all people I've seen complaining about the series, you're the first one to regard the majority of characters as mentally degraded... with questionable arguments.

Okay, so I was mostly okay with the comedy in Clannad, it got a little cringe-worthy in Angel Beats and I get that Little Busters is meant to be more comedically-focused, but I'm really getting desperate for some character development right now! I wish they'd cut down on the comedy just a bit - I just need something... more.

I really don't feel like I 'know' any of the characters yet, especially the original Little Busters. I really wish they'd gotten just a little bit more fleshing out to begin with so that we got more of the impression that they were great childhood friends.

Maybe it's too early, maybe Little Busters is just one of those series that take a while to introduce the characters. Would someone who's gotten further than me vouch for that?

Each girl gets their route where the character is better fleshed out, and there are common route episodes inbetween that also help show the uniqueness of each of the Busters.

About being childhood friends, you might not get that vibe nearly as much in the anime. In the VN, there were several days where Kyousuke, Rin, Masato, Kengo, and Riki would gather in Riki or Kyousuke's room each night and have fun, and talk about stuff best friends could only talk about.

You should check out some of the videos on my channel, with stuff from the VN that didn't make it to the anime.

Seriously, the friendship level of LB is on par with those of SHP (One Piece), that always got me touched in the heart. I'd love to have friends like that any day any time.

I really liked this episode, despite there are few things that really annoyed me

Edit: I forgot to mention that it's the kind of friendship that doesn't make me cringe, doesn't give off the pretentious feels.

Damn, those girls fromt eh disciplinary committee needed a good bitchslap right in their prejudices! Seriously, having people that act on the base of prejudices and grudge on a disciplinary committee, that's just wrong.

Kyousuke have some interesting criteria of admission to the baseball club... x)
So all you need to do is to show your fate in the youth and you're a member? That doesn't seem very useful during a game...

That Kud look really fun. And we'll get more of her next episode!

Saigusa and Kanata hair color is so similar that I thought they would be sisters. Are they? They really look related but share different last names so who knows. Half-sisters? I like how Riki stood up for her. That was great. Looks like we are going to see more Kud next episode. Onto the next episode!

Haruka sure is a fun character. I hope to see more of her interactions with the rest of the Little Busters. I loved the part when she ganged up with Rin against Masato. Loved that moment.

And about her and Kanata. I get the feeling they're somehow related. Closely related...

Kanata appears bitchy but im pretty sure we get to see why later on.

Haruka.. Ok that guess who was abit too much of the sillyness but overall i like her

Ok episode which didnt bore me. And no more or barely komari :D

episode score: 3/5

Nothing super big happened this episode however that is okay. (If every episode was full of crazy stuff happening than the show would become a mess of random events) just a nice tame episode with a few comedic jokes mixed in-between. Due to the new character introduced, and the development with that character, I am expecting this episode was probably building up for future story-line.

The fight at the start was funny though seeing Masato beaten by cats him as well cutting Rin's nails and getting the title trash

A new member and a trouble maker that's a lot to handle a little Kud scene there cute

Haruka's reputation is not that great she's been looked down on by the committee but happy that Riki was there to help her and now she's officially part of Little Busters.
