We have a Crunchyroll preview here:
Expect to see much drama, but I hope that the Arc will end in this episode fully.
Dynamic tag cannot be rendered. (PrintableThread)

lol they really troll about the secret of the world this time around with Riki unable to contact Haruka and Mio then another flashbacks.

Unfortunately,this arc will continue in the next episode.

Darn it.
Well, that would leave the last 3 episodes wide open for one last Arc or a Free Storyline.
If it will be an Arc, I really hope it will be about Riki & Rin finding the cat-letters' sender and show them being close to each other, in more than just "Little Busters members are all friends" way.

So Kurugaya won't have her own arc? Seems she won't have any since the last arc will be for Rin

The "secrets" of the world are still sketch as heck. Kyousuke unsurprisingly knows something in those regards.

Masato's voice seemed a bit "different" around the clubroom meeting 10:30~ mins in.

But yeah, no Kurugaya arc?

They already said that every character route will be done eventually.

Isn't it confirmed that there will be a second season?? There's a bare minimum of 16 episodes left (including the 4 left for this season). Considering the pacing now, the next season is most likely going to be another 24-26 eps. Doing next season in 12 episodes will be an extremely tight fit, it's possible, but I don't welcome it. :uhoh: (that's not including the bonus character routes, since it's not yet known if they're doing it)

So wait, it's not the end of Kud-chan's are, huh?

I understand that Kud-chan has to return to Tevua (or Tebwa) to see her mother, but there's a possibility that she won't be coming back!

That means we would need a Second Season for Kurugaya Arc.
Although I haven't read the Novel and I do not know anything that will yet happen in this season, I'm pretty sure the last 3 episodes will focus on Rin and maybe Riki as well.

Kurugaya Arc isn't for Season 1. I'm sure of it.

Anyway, back to Kud's Arc. I guess... there's a few Plot Points here and there. Some special anime-only antics too, courtesy of Kyousuke.

Yes. Kyousuke's conversation with Kud was very, very interesting.

Looking at the preview, it does not look like Kud is going to come back in one piece, if at all with the shackles and all. Here is to hoping that Riki can somehow get a ticket for himself to save her before it is too late.

Are we even sure she's coming back alive at all. Looking at Riki's "visions", she looked like she died or committed suicide...

Cute design and voiced by Kana Hanazawa. That girl is definitely going to be important.


Kud and Kyousuke's conversation was indeed VERY interesting. He said she would experience the same thing and the same time, meaning they're stuck in a time loop? I have no idea how this is connected to Haruka and Mio mysteriously disappearing in the second half though...

Wonderfully intense and tightly written episode. Lots of marvelous character drama and great character moments here. Loved how everybody pulled together for Kud. Loved all the poignant one-on-one conversations involving Kud and Riki, Kud and Kyousuke, and Kud and Kanata.

But man... that preview. Wow. :heh:


I can see why VN-players were hyping this route!

When I saw her, I immediately decided to ship her with Riki. :heh:

Looks like we're going get more child abuses next episode.

So KamiNomi's Shiori transfered to the high school in Little Busters. Nice!

I'm sure her and Mio will have wonderful conversations over books. ;)

lol......Well,her name is Suginami btw and it's not like this is the first time she appeared....

She appeard in chapter... 2 I think? or was it the first one, anyway she was with those mean girls... but looking apologetic
