| That was all resolved rather nicely I thought! I'm guessing the Saigusa family was pretty powerful to get away with it's polygamous marriage arrangements! |
 |
| Great episode which I can relate to The only flaw was voice emotion in the speech of Kanata and the setting/location that wa used |
| so i dont get it. let me see if i have this right: kanata had a choice where either she becomes the successor or she takes haruka's role. but since haruka isnt competent enough to be the successor, both twins would've been casted away. so, kanata had to become the successor and was told to treat her sister badly in order for them to stay in the family and have a place live? in the end she chose to be the successor and hates herself for treating her sister so badly. do i have that right? lol wait why did the family spread those rumours again? propaganda? lol |

| At least they'll be able to do Kud's route mostly the same as from the VN, so hopefully there will be less complaints... Jk there's like 20 kiss/sex scenes (depending on which version you played) that will never be realized in glorious HD animation: ^Why Kud's route was awesome. |

| Great episode, great end to the arc, looking forward to the next one. I never played the VN so I am blissfully unaware of what else it could be. Enjoying the anime and importing the BDs. |
| A solid enough ending to the Haruka route. A bit annoying they decided to throw out the part where Riki and Haruka visit her house to look for clues, but what can you do about it? The conflict resolution was even FASTER than the VN version, which is honestly saying something, and the rain scene didn't play the BGM it had in the VN (I do forget what it's called), which was a shame. Unlike a few others though, I didn't really care about the scissors part all too much. It seemed a bit over the top at the time. Oh, and baby Haruka is so damned cute! Not Ushio level cute, but that "yaha..." is just plain adorable. And looks like JC is being a pretty big troll regarding Mio. Not letting us see her in broad daylight because of course, she would or would not have her parasol, which would be quite a telling tale indeed. Although she appears to be in daylight in the next episode preview...hmmm... |

Someone said this season will end with an arc(Either Rin or Kurugaya). Also, if this season will end with something else(Baseball game or etc) instead of an arc, I can see it'll turn out pretty bad. |
 |
| In the preview, they showed us that they are trying to help Kud to study. If I remember correctly, about half of Kud's arc is about her studying. So I wouldn't call episode 19 a common route... |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| Yes. Episode 19 is already part of Kud's arc. Kud's arc: Episodes 19, 21-23. |

| Japanese stupid. |
| All I have to say is, d'awww. <3 Also, I lol'ed at "I'm a Japanese stupid." xD |

| goddammit! My sense of justice is so effin unsatisfied! How... I mean HOW?! can you let that Futaki family get away with it? And how can you NOT hate them? Why do they wonder who to hate for all that? Do Little Busters possess some godly powers of forgiveness? Because I can't even imagine getting over it just like that and even saying that no one is evil...? That Futaki family is as evil as you can get! |

Jk there's like 20 kiss/sex scenes (depending on which version you played) that will never be realized in glorious HD animation: ^Why Kud's route was awesome. Bro, I disagree. In my opinion, the awesomeness of Kud's route has nothing to do with H-scenes. It's awesome because of how much romance was included and the fact that Riki x Kud is such a cute lovey-dovey couple. Kud's awesome confession alone was just so damn heartwarming. Also, the drama of the route is really tough and instills some real sadness and fear into the reader (unless you're a hater). |

I know that's what made it so awesome, I was joking about the h-scene part ;_; that's what I have exhentai for. |
| Am I glad we got this condensed angst out of the way. Next up Kud! Oh-uh... |
| i got trolled, i want to know damn it sheesh |
| Great episode; though the arc was not as good as in the VN Kanata should have been more of a bitch; and shouldn't have told Haruka everything so easily - wanted to see things like Kanata stepping on Haruka's head when she was begging on the ground like in the VN. Would also have been better if this arc was 4 eps |
| Best episode so far in this distinctly average series. It's also a tad annoying that the Futaki family seem to get away with it ... |
| Can't wait for Kud's route. Hopefully there will be some Kin'niku yay yay! Kin'niku yay yay! before the drama hits. |
| I'm not the only one that's unsatisfied that they didn't do anything about the Futaki family, right? There's no evil in this world? You shouldn't hate anybody? I think, sometimes, you just have to make an exception... |
| To all those people who think that the conclusion did not have enough justice in it, try thinking about the following: The Little Buster's goal has never been to deliver justice to the world. Their only care was to help their friend - Haruka find happiness and acquire peace. Maybe even make up with her twin sister or at least stop all that hatred. That's all they ever wanted. Nothing good will come out of playing world police and get involved into dangerous stuff for no reason. As long as the Futaki/Saigusa family doesn't interfere, nobody cares about them. If they do try to pull anything funny - well, the school is under protection of the Little Busters. And you don't mess with Kyousuke and Kurugaya... They're finished anyways. They are missing 2 generations of successors. Either they die out over time or they kill each other off in an old-fashioned power struggle. It's not a perfect ending but it's a happy one. Demanding more is just asking for trouble. |
|
| Have to say, they did a pretty good job of the Haruka route all things considered. The way they dealt with Haruka without having Riki go out with her was pretty impressive. |

| good ending for the saigusa arc, though i didn't get a chance to cry lol next is kudo's arc i think lol |
 |
| I'm gonna be honest. When Haruka's problem was introduced I couldn't sympathize with her and I couldn't understand why she hated Kanata when BOTH of them were victims of those people. I found her hate to be completely unfounded other than of course Kanata treating her the way she did at school. However, her hate stemmed from the fact that Kanata was chosen because she was better at everything, and how was that Kanata's fault. I just couldn't symphatize. However, this episode definitely got me teary eyed, because of Kanata. I just knew she wasn't a bad person, but in all honestly she had it so much worse than Haruka. I just felt so bad for her. I'm glad everything got resolved thought, but seriously I felt like Kanata deserved so much better. |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |
| what? they didn't tell who's the father? i believe they're both the daughters of their supposedly criminal father.. the other guy can only shoot blanks.. i mean, no other children came after the twins because that other guy was the only one left with their mother.. haha.. anyway, Kanata is the one who truly made this arc.. it's almost always the onee-chans who sacrifice for their imoutos even if they're twins.. |
| Great episode. Kud's Route next. |
| Nice episode, great arc, 5/5. I'm a Japanese stupid lol |
| More incorporation of Kud and Kanata make this a much more enjoyable route - although rushed. Also, I think I will guess the remaining content for 1st season : Common > Kud's Route > Kengo's stuff > Baseball match (or probably, > Rin 1 if they are going for the you-know-what cliffhanger) But it's an assumption made without knowing anything about Kurugaya's route. I don't know if Kurugaya could be inserted after Rin 1 and before Rin 2, since I still don't know the mechanism of |

The Kanon VN might be better than the anime, but halfway through the anime I don't feel anything amazing incoming. Hopefully I'll finish it tomorrow though. But... will JC Staff adapt Refrain well? Probably not. They'll somehow manage to screw up the actual part of the story they don't need to alter much, and make the Little Busters anime nonexistent. |

| they actually did ok with this episode. It felt a little rushed but still good. I'm looking forward to Kud's arc (and i am also a little fearful) |

planetarian said: When j.c. staff is finishes with refrain i can imagine them announcing kufwafter... Those damn lolicons! does it include Riki and Kud sleeping with each other and having intercourse every other night? But damn, seriously, I thought there was a lot of sex in Tomoyo After but Kudwafter, Riki and Kud were like rabbits! |
