THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE VISUAL NOVEL BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------

first of all i'd like to say CONFIRMED.

what a fun episode. Very clever of them to include newspaper fight as well as the kanata shenanigans to transition into haruka route.

loled at the bro's battling it out to save Riki.

i finally hear kyousuke tell me i'm cute. my life is complete

NEW OP VISUALS were expected and very nice.

Oh man this episode made my day today and I was right in seeing it live. So much emotions of rather positive ROFLs of massive over the tops.

YES PEOPLE! YOU HAVE RIKKI TRAP IN THE HOUSE! ALL CAN HAIL! The studio made the wish come true and I can say it was hilarious, especially them yellow ribbon! ROFL!

About the fan service, I am pretty much satisfied with the following,

Noumi got a nice towel service and that pleased. It was fine and not too much. I accept this form very much. The one with Rin/Komari was nice too.

Rest in club.

Yup, a fun episode of sleepover. Lucky..or maybe unlucky Riki. Also, Kurugaya is a boss as usual:



Dem baseball bats and pajamas along with the teasing.

Best "common route"/filler episode. I think that I laughed the most in this episode out of the others.

Nah. From what I can see in the opening, we're getting Kud and Haruka for the last half of this season. Now that I think about it, that's a pretty smart move. Kurugaya's route is like one big foreshadow for Refrain with the whole

That was unexpectedly hilarious episode.

And it's a good thing that the change some visuals in the opening. Maybe I'll look forward to the next opening they'll plan for the future arcs(Refrain and EX arcs) when they come.

Interesting changes to the OP. I know many people wanted full overhauls of everything, but in hindsight, what they did actually made a lot of sense. Replace a few scenes with the now relevant story arcs. And of course, "Little Busters" is still the best OP theme.

A pretty damned good adaptation of the VN sleepover party, probably better, since it was animated. They kept everything that was important (except I think discussions of how perverted Riki is) and incorporated the newspaper fight. Trap Riki wasn't QUITE as epicly hilarious as I thought, but then again, people don't actually change that much when you add a ribbon in their hair, so it was realistic I suppose.

But yes, they ACTUALLY added the part where Kurugaya sent photos to everyone! I remember in the VN they didn't have that at all, which was very upsetting. Thank you, story adapters!

Haruka route, it seems, will be beginning next week. I look forward to it very much.

don't think i've heard Kyousuke yell his Yahoo till now

like the small changing to the OP which hint and things to come all they need to do now is after each arc slowly add more to it

was also cool how they added in the sword fight totally forgot about that

I knew that a redesign of the OP was warranted, but I said holy shit when all of the girls appeared in the beginning shot. Glad they kept the song because I can't stop listening to it. It's so good. As for the episode, I couldn't stop laughing and their sleepover outfits are awesome. I guess RikixRin and RikixKyousuke are canon. What's the general opinion on the Haruka route?

I thought the girl in the shadows with the long hair was Kurugaya in the OP, luckily I was wrong.
It is pretty much confirmed the rest of the episodes will be dedicated to Kud and Haruka and THAT event.
Hilarious episode with a bunch of LMAO moments.
It's funny because it doesn't even feel like a harem since Riki just fits right in LOL
Yep, In the end Kyouske comes out victorious.

Like I said before, I think that internally JC Staff got these 26 episodes as two orders of thirteen episodes each. So internally they probably refer to the first 13 episodes as "season one" and the second as "season two." The two "seasons" have different budgets (since this "season two" will have most of the routes) and therefore has a bigger budget and is why the animation is so much better.

This episode was funny, especially the end where Kyousuke mentions how they spent all night deciding who would rescue him. The Kud/Rin scene was funny (and not present in the VN, only Komari and Rin was) and I generally enjoyed the episode.

If I recall correctly though, they had a pillowfight instead of a newspaper-sword fight. Would have preferred that. It was funny seeing Kurugaya do her teleportation thing to dodge Komari.

EDIT: Didn't notice it until it was mentioned here, but they have a few new visuals in the OP. I like it better. I THINK the girl with the bruises it Haruka, not sure though. If so then she went through more shit than I thought in the VN.

We still don't know if it's the world itself doing them or only cause of Rikki's conditions that it activates upon.

Whoa that new OP really caught me off guard. Did not think all the Little Busters girls had problems.

Looks like Kud has something secret hidden. Wonder what she is holding, and if the starry sky has any importance.

So does Haruka and the commisioner from the looks of it. Haruka in a ball makes me sad. Wonder what their past is.

No Rin or Kurugaya though, wonder if that will be another season or they just don't have problems with themselves.

Btw who's the girl with the purple hair in the opening. I know she's been in the show, but without (heavily) spoiling, does she become important, or a Little Buster?

Mio closet pervert lol.

Overall good episode, nice to have a fun episode after all the drama that came before and will probably come after.

FINALLY HARUKA ROUTE...i've waited sooo much for this day, and the new OP was perfect, same great and old 'little busters' but with the new scenes that fit perfectly specially the kanata/haruka scenes,

i'm actually glad they decided to finish this season with haruka and kud instead of rushing things for kurugaya and rin I to be on it

overall, awesome common route episode, it felt just like the VN even better cuz it was animated, i got to see the girls in pajamas, and kurugaya teleporting was awesome

REALLY looking foward to next week, glad they decided to save their budget to the second half of the season

brace yourselves HARUKA IS NEXT!!

(if you cannot already tell, i love the haruka route)

Great episode was great! About the OP, I don't remember any bruised Haruka or Kanata in Haruka's route... Maybe because it's been a while?

I'm starting to get scared about the number of episodes they have to cover the remaining 4 routes. Each route takes 3 episodes, which means they'd need 12 episodes. However, I'm sure Kurugaya route could be covered in 2 if things were done smoothly... I just want Rin2 route.

I'm curious to see how they'll work things out after Kud's route.

the bruise scenes are more explored in the kanata route but she does mention it

and it seems this season will not cover rin 2 of kurugaya this season, leaving season with kuragaya, than rin 2 and refrain pretty good move if you ask me, since those arcs complete each other
