I think that Kurugaya is going to have her whole route animated... including their romantic relationship, it will make a lot of sense since at the end (normal end) Riki forgets everything including his romantic feelings for Kurugaya, and it's imposible that they cut off the time loop or the explanaition of some of the world's basis so her route must be just before Rin 1 or 2. Kurugaya's arc will be the breaking point of the secret of the world's hints...

Ladies and gentlemen, I am about to suggest a cracktastic heresy. Inspired by all those WMGs Anime only viewers have been throwing in the Episode 22 thread, about the significance of Suginami (one of the three bullying clowns who has a crush on Riki) , JC Staff shalt commit the ultimate blasphemy of an anime original route.
Now, burn me with fire. |

I think that teh routes of Kurugaya and Rin have not been adapted to the anime.
But I donīt know that I have the correct information (I complete the game) But I not remember if they have been adapted in episodes (if is adapted, can also remember to me in which episodes). |

For example, Love Love Hunters would be a Kurugaya sponsored bit of trolling. Kurugaya feeling happiness and emotions for the first time with the Little Busters will be given greater emphasis. Kurugaya pwning those bullies would be presented not as protecting Riki as a prelude to romance but the final straw after prior provocations and insults to Kud ( the showdown between those two idiots and the Little Busters after Kud was called a mongrel), Mio (having her book stolen) and Rin1 (Suginami's friend's love letter). And they then axe the looping time-line, therefore denying Anime only viewers one of the biggest hints so far as to the Secret of the World. Actually, come to think of it, with Romance stripped out of the routes, a Friendship route with regards to Suginami... could work, but we'd be straying into anime original territory, and may suffer the usual fate of filler arcs. But, why ask such a prominent VA to voice such a minor character, I wonder? |

Come to think of it, I think they can do the Saya route after the ending of the Kurugaya route, even before Refrain. Isn't the only thing that you need to know for the Saya route to make sense is that the Little Buster's world is a shared dream world? In-fact, I wonder whether they are going to actually going to shaft Rin, and divide her route into two. I suspect the structure might well be: Kurugaya Route Rin 1 Events Rin accepts the offer to transfer Schools. Rin is removed from the plot. An interlude, where the Ecstasy routes unfold, while Rin is away . All the while, Riki would be receiving messages from Rin. - Sasami's route - Kanata's Route - Saya's Route. Rin returns home, and Rin 2 proper begins. Refrain. All of it. I wonder whether 13 episodes will cut it. A final "Beach" episode. Perhaps a Summer going away party episode, like was mentioned in Kud Wafter. Of course, the structure could easily be reshuffled. From the summaries about the Kanata route, it seems that it could theoretically go before the Kurugaya Route. |

How the heck can Sasami arc fit in there if her route happened after Refrain.
Kanata route doesn't really have anything to do with the secret so it can be anywhere. Alot of people said for Saya arc to reach its fullest,viewers need to know about the secret first so it should be after refrain in some kind of OVA. It doesn't matter to me where her route will be placed as long as there's romance in it. They can took out romance in every other heroines arc for all I care but not Saya...nuh-uh .__. And whoever is making this seem to like spending alot of time for common route episodes and then shorten/rushed with the heroine arc so I expect 1/4 of the second season will be for common episodes .__. |

^ People also said the same whe it come to Haruka an Kud's arc,now look what happened.
Removing romance isn't always necessary bad.Look on the bright side,we might get to see Kurugaya arc filled with wonderful friendship and nice stuffs we've never seen before in the VN. Seriously,they aren't going to dump friendship away just because it's Kurugaya considering how far and deep they're going with it. So like even if there're still romance,I bet friendship will still take about at least half of the arc. |

In Kurugaya Arc, the ENTIRE thing is based on romance, including the fact that the entire thing happened because Riki and Kurugaya er....clicked. You cannot turn that into terms that equate friendship, and even then, it would be relatively bad.

While it seems like the route cannot function without romance, the same worries were shared when any VN had multiple heroine routes. The common way of doing it, and the way J.C Staff is doing it, is having the main heroine as the love interest while the MC simply helps the other heroines sort out their issues. Kyoko Animation did it with all of Keys other works, White Fox did so with Steins;Gate, and J.C Staff is doing the same with Little Busters. Honestly speaking its for the best that they remove the romance elements from the story. From the various reviews I've read of the series its a general agreement that the Common Route and Refrain were the most enjoyable parts, while the romance was a mixed bag. If they actually did include the romance for each route it would kind of ruin the friendship theme, and it might have given the show a "Harem anime" feel to it which doesn't sit right with me. TL;DR: What I'm basically saying is that this is an adaptation, not a rehash of the visual novel in moving picture form. There needs to be compromises in order to fit 60+ hours of content into a meager 26 (Or 52 when they do a second season) episodes. Some of my favorite scenes have been left out, while I am disappointed about it, I can understand that J.C staff needed to cut some scenes in order to fit the important ones. TL;DR of TL;DR: The route will most likely have no romance, its necessary, please try to get over it.

Not even the VN gave off a harem feel, much less would an anime adaptation of it if they kept in the romance anyway. A careful and smart use of the loops was all that would be needed to pull it off, but they didn't even bother with it. And Refrain alone is a romanceless route all about friendship...it's all you need really. Personally, it's not about whether or not they will animate the Kurugaya route (they most certainly will) but mostly because of the fact that the whole route is centered around Riki and Kurugaya's romance. It's not just an important plot point like in the Haruka and Kud routes (that even taken out severely downgrades the plot but still works) it's the core of the damn plot and by the way things are going they will come up with a BS way to turn it all about friendship rather than the romance. This hits harder for me since the Kurugaya route and her character are both my favorite parts of LB. I'm not saying the anime has been wrong in everything and is the worst thing ever...I kind of like some of the things they did...hell, I loved it up until midway through the Komari route. When it comes to showing friendship within the group it's actually spot on and handled a bit better than in the VN, the minor Common Route scenes are also generally well done and nicely adapted and most of all Rin's relationship with Komari seems much deeper and fleshed out than in the VN (I always considered the Refrain scene with both of them was much weaker because of the lack interaction they had throughout the VN). My problem ultimately boils down to the Cons far outweighing the Pros, not in number but in individual weight. |

A scene in the anime cqn feel less powerful because you've already seen it before, and therefore thinks it's inferior to the original. Oh and the VN doesn't feel like a harem because of how VNs work. You're not going to capture the same feel in anime, ever. It's a completely different medium. So if the changes done in this adaption were deemed necessary by KEY for it to work, I for one will wait until we reach the conclusion and I've seen everything before I judge if something important was left out or not. |

But regardless, obviously I'm not better suited to say what's truly important for the plot than the creators of the damn thing and I never claimed I was. I am, however, saying that not adding romance was a CHOICE, not the huge necessity some make it out to be, whether it was good or bad...well that's subjective, I believe it to be bad, it hindered my enjoyment of the adaptation (along with other things) but I am fully aware that others think otherwise. PS: Love it when people resort to the "Derp, you think you know better than the creators." argument when discussing personal opinions...it just makes them so much more valid and reasonable. And yes, that was sarcasm. Quote:
I doubt most will deny that scenes like the Komari Mental Breakdown scene had a weaker impact in the anime than it had in the VN (just one of the examples from when I still watched it regularly). Again...not really, it all comes down to how you do it and play with the resources at hand (loops and so on), if you know what you're doing it can easily be pulled off. |

Removing the romantic elements to further emphasis the friendship theme is a good move as well, in my opinion, since LB! was always mainly focused on the friendship. Quote:

So it's mostly subjective, yeah. Quote:
If it's doing a good job hiding the loops, I can't tell, because I'm aware of them. Anyhow, the meaning of my post was mostly to point out that it's not always JC Staff pulling the strings when there are changes in the adaption, and give possible explanations as to why you might feel the way you feel about the anime without necessarily be because of bad choices done while adapting. I do believe it's a good practice to refrain judginf if the choices they made were good or bad until you've atleast seen the whole finished adaption. It was late and I was tired, so if my post came out as something else, then sorry. |
