Holy shit. I just discovered such a likely and earth-shattering realization to this.



ONLY READ IF YOU WATCHED EPISODE 25 FULLY AND ARE OKAY WITH AN EARTH-SHATTERING POSSIBILITY THAT WILL FOREVER CHANGE YOUR VIEWS ON THIS ANIME!!! I'M NOT EVEN KIDDING. IT DROVE ME TO MAKE AN ACCOUNT HERE JUST TO POST IT.


You're close, but not close enough. Only click spoiler if you actually wanna get spoiled






Don't tell me anymore besides this answer. I already want to preform self-brain surgery with a knife to forget. My curiosity hates me, I swear.






Ugh, didn't wanted to open the spoilers, but I hope that

As usual in those high school slice of life animes, adults are fucking useless. I have mixed feelings about this episode. The Kengo scene was good, but unfortunately, the random girl drama was way too rushed, and because of that, it feels like she is only a plot device to let Kengo join the LB team.

Wow, I actually felt a warm feeling with the characters. This episode was actually really great, even though koshiki's appearance was quite sudden. Starting to like Kengo a lot.

Expectations were met for this episode. Faithful adaptation was faithful.
The foreshadowing was pretty strong this damn strong this episode.
They managed to do the scenes well without KyoAni animation, but unless they introduced Miyuki as an earlier character and made up extra things to her story, it wouldn't feel dramatic. It's pretty much only a bit dramatic to the VN readers. It was't dramatic in the VN either, but it's integral to Refrain.

They were pretty good at animating the detail with Kengo.
Super Refrain spoiler:


Mm overall it accomplished what it was supposed to.

Not half bad, I dont see how they are gonna end this eries with 1 more episode left but something might happen i guess. well not a half bad episode anyways.


Season 2, don't worry, things will make sense later.


I don't think there will be a season 2. They rushed it all the way to the last episode. No way they are going to spend 12 episodes just on refrain that's pointless... All I can say is they rushed this series.

Not sure what your powerlevel is, honestly. I'm not sure if you're joking that there's no more material left to cover.

Anyway, there's Kurugaya's route, Rin's 2nd route, and Refrain is longer than all the other routes, and they could always add in parts from the common route they've skipped.

From your earlier quote you said that there was going to be a second season. I'm positive they will just literally end it here or do some bullshit ending which will just get the audience to play the game to see the true end.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK, FINAL CHAPTER NEXT WEEK!!!!!!!!

Ok, the emotions was very strong in this episode, finally we have the 9th Little Buster!.
But, I´m beggining to suspect Kyousuke. Or He is a wizard, or a clairvoyant, or I don´t know...

@Vladzor: So that was that famous girl Miyuki...

About Miyuki, I see her like a character who will have something important to do in the History...

But well, next week we´ll have to say "Bye, See you later" to our dear friends group. I really want the announcement at the end of 26...


This is how it all begins.

There is almost no way this is going to be the case, just read the other threads, there are so many references to it continuing.

Gotta say you got the info so I admit you're correct. I was more into my intuition. Thanks for the correction. Played the VN thought it was going to be over once Ricki realizes what the world really is guess I didn't expect they would actually go more in debt oh well.

That is because she is just indeed a plot device as far as I remember just like the boy that had a love sick. You won't be seeing her anytime soon. Perhaps, she'll only appear for a few seconds in one episode next season.

Yeah, she at least appeared a little bit before the rooftop scene in the VN. That's what bugs me about this. JC Staff just threw her in as a plot device. She does make an appearance in Refrain though.

1. It's called Google
2. Perfect Edition is not translated. If you want to play the VN in full English glory, the best option is to get the original version (Not ME, EX, or PE).

I wish they did it the same as with Suginami-san, where she shows up once in a while.

"Parting of the Boys Piano Only"

That song is my favorite among Little Busters!'s songs, it's called The boys farewell (Piano version) Theres two versions but the other one is with a melodic line. Piano version is my favorite though. It has a special mention in Refrain...


Thank you two :D The music is so beautiful, i also like the song that plays when you leave the title menu on for a while in the VN, the music is one of the best thing with little busters :D

VN spoiler regarding Miyuki, slight Refrain spoiler as well



Miyuki's suicide attempt does feel rushed in the anime, and because of the nature of the VN format which reminds you every time you replay the common route, it just can't be done quite the same in the anime.

However, I feel like the event that refers back to Miyuki in Refrain will still serve its purpose, so long as

Oh boy Masato is such an idiot for blurting all that out in the cafeteria. I found the whole thing with Miyuki Koshiki kinda rushed though. We never even saw her and suddenly they're dealing with her attempted suicide.

So Kengo was trying to prove that you can still shine even with limitations by swinging with his broken arm.

And so Riki will be the leader from now on.

I feel like the part where Masato mentions Kengo's flirting and challenges him to a fight was well done.

Semispoiler
Their peculiar attitude towards the thing, and the events following when Miyuki runs out of the room are indicative of several things people won't know until Refrain

My specific thoughts and analysis, why I liked this episode (Refrain spoiler)


Overall, despite it being a quickly done event, there are some hints at the importance of the scene for Refrain.

Decent episode, I suppose. I wish Riki didn't have that monologue at the end because it was obvious that Kyousuke was up to something, and I didn't feel like having that pointed out to me. By the way, how long is Little Busters the VN? I just did a bad end for Kotori's route in Rewrite, but it was really lame, so I don't know if I should switch over to LB right now.
