English Subbed, credits to cxu.


As what I can see...

- Romantic approach to Kurugaya's route (unlike the other heroines, where they only do the 'friendly' approach).
- Rin route
- They'll wrap it all up this season.

Good choice of music.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Same here pal. I've just finished the VN two days ago, and the feels are coming back to me... /sob

That's if JC Staff won't mess this up. I REALLY HOPE that Little Busters! will be one of the few legendary works of JC Staff.

Haruka Kanata (the first one) is the song that made me cry when I'm playing the VN. Too much for me to handle. I just hope that JC will make me cry again this season. ;_;

Oh well, as long as Maeda's involved, the music will be epic.

Wow the music is really emotional. I mean, I found myself choking up a little and I haven't even played the VN. =.= I hope J.C. Staff pulls this off.

Should I play it first or should I watch Refrain first? I'm not sure which to do.

Do you mean judging by that hug? it could just be a 'friend supporting friend' hug. Though i would of liked to see a bit of romance in this.

Oh man, this looks pretty serious. Reminds me a little of how Clannad AS compared to Clannad (for me at least). I hope Refrain turns out somewhat like that.

Animation looks different from the first season, in a better way.

Airs in October?!? I need to speed up my pace and read the VN more. Only 2 heroine routes left for me. Then all the stuff that comes afterwards.

WOW, the animation looks great. It seems they had a bigger budget this time around. They did a good choice of images for the preview. Also, I am anxious to see how they do the romantic approach on Kurugaya´s arc. But judging from the preview, thats already a given.

Anyway, IF JC Staff manages to pull this off, Little Busters can easily be on the same level as Clannad, or even better.

Also, that music choice... Faraway was a great choice for the preview, since its the music that best represents Refrain.

have you played the VN? Kurugaya Route is alot more different from the other routes. IMO, if they won't approach Yui-chan's route romantically, it wouldn't be that good. But I'm quite sure that the hug scene will not appear, or to be specific, the whole clip where Riki plus white bg with Kurugaya memories will not appear if they don't do romance. I might be wrong though, I'm not so sure.

Watch the anime or play the VN? Simple answer: Play the VN. Cry. Then watch Refrain. Cry again. ;_;

My copy + paste from another thread.

Just a guess, but after this PV I think that we WILL get romance within Yuiko's route, then loop, and Riki forgets about it, we have Rin2 and Refrain~.

It would be probably the best option, now when I think about it, though pretty daring, I guess. World, where protagonist didn't pick the main girl. I like that idea (though my whole heart screams still Riki x Rin).

Well the original is better than After Story imo, and this at least shows that the anime version has the potential to live up to it at least. Fingers crossed.

Well regardless of whether or not the anime lives up the hype, the fact that the VN is amazing is already set in stone. All I can say.

CRAP!!! I can't see Masato like that. I feel like halfway while watching this anime I'm gonna curl up in a hole and cry. I wonder what happens in kurugayas route in the anime. If that was a friendly hug, I feel there's gonna be a riot... Oh yeah it seems like they're doing the running away with rin to grandpas house scene. Now if u excuse me I'm just gonna explode with feels. O animation looks better too

Well, depends on how they do it. I didn't cry in the game, but gave me feelings.

But, in the first season I cried in the Haruka's route resolution, so this is why is it depends :D

I liked so much the opening song. Can't wait for see everything. I waited too long for this adaptation. I hope that nothing ruin it!

' Should I play the VN before watching Refrain?'
I see a lot of people asking this and here is my personal opinion.

PLAY IT NOOOW!, You never know, the anime may screw up even if the PV looks bad ass. The Refrain segment is Maeda's masterpiece and if they somehow manage to screw up the anime, anime viewers will never be able to experience what the VN players have, especially if you already know what's going to happen from the anime. Even if you have to go through the tedious 40 hours of game play, it's so worth it in the end.

But if you don't want to and just want to wait for the anime, that's fine I guess. But if they mess it up ( not the animation or story, BUT THE FREAKING MUSIC) you won't be able to fully understand the hype surrounding Refrain.

I think they won't mess up the music this season. JC Staff tends to be a lot better when adapting a Season 2.

The first song will mostly likely bring you to tears the next time you hear it.
The 2nd song will be used as the opening.

I really want to see the part where


If the series is going to be like this PV, then all my worries have been blown away. Have you guys found out how many episodes this is going to have yet?
