Time for some wafu

About ep:

Spoiler:

matrixhazard · 2012-10-27, 09:14

Kud-chan appears!!

But somehow I don't think no need for her appearance in this episode since everything is focusing on Komari.

[mod edit: removed VN-based speculation about future content]

P.S. poor Mio, with the story goes on like this, I believe she might have to wait for 2-3 episode to make a real debut in the anime.

leorodri100 · 2012-10-27, 10:49

komari is okay..but she is like fuko in clannad, LOTS fo people dropped clannad because of fuko, and i'm really not that excited about her route either...

i know what i want to see, and what i want to see is

RIN

HARUKA

and

KUD

haruka route starts: ore wa shiawase ni naru yo~

OPN · 2012-10-27, 10:51

Pretty good episode. Surprised they revealed who kojiro was so early. 7/10

Dizzyworld2 · 2012-10-27, 11:14

I didn't really like the vibes Kudo was giving off. She just doesn't seem as moe as her vn counterpart.

But on the other hand, I enjoyed the intro to Komari's route. It definitely established a melancholic mood that occurs in every key's character routes.

Jasque · 2012-10-27, 12:01

Komari snores like "fueeee mmm fueee" that's so damn cute!

**Klashikari** · 2012-10-27, 12:30

This episode had a weird structure: while we finally got more introduction, Kud's got literally shoved aside, a bit like Haruka's first scene last week, as the episode was heavily Komari centred.

Spoiler for Comparison to the VN:

Because of that, the pacing felt quite odd, because you have several events not really having a clear connection to each other, which makes the story progression a bit... difficult to grasp.

tsunade666 · 2012-10-27, 17:51

the episode is.... good? but it felt like they jump start a route already without properly introducing the cast.

Spoiler for vn comparison:

I was expecting an introduction of Kud this episode but I got a different one >_> quite disappointed at that one but the episode itself is find for me even if it felt rushed or skipping at some point.

MeoTwister5 · 2012-10-27, 20:25

Kud is here. Let the Lolicons go crazy.

flack · 2012-10-27, 21:46

Hmm they really are rushing this. Well it is better than watching them make the jokes lame.

Flower · 2012-10-27, 22:12

Well, well ... caught up on eps 3 and 4 this evening, and I must admit that I have been charmed by Kud.

Good material ... it's kinda interesting to watch how unexpectedly the series "quickdraws" back and forth between seriousness, comedy, tragedy, etc.

Good series, good series....

orpheus2 · 2012-10-27, 23:07

I like Kud already. No wonder she has many fans.

The pacing seems off but at least the story is really moving now. Now, we start Komari's arc. It would have been better to have Kud join Little Busters first though.

touge-n00b · 2012-10-27, 23:16

Kud's appearance had me saying the same thing Haruka's did: does her voice seem kinda off compared to the VN version? It could be because there's been such a long gap for these seiyuu between the VN and the anime.

At least Haruka's "Yahaha" sounds the same.

Randrak42 · 2012-10-27, 23:36

Not a single Waffuuuuuuuu~ all episode? I HIGHLY disapprove of this...

~Yami~ · 2012-10-27, 23:53

yay! we're entering Komari's route...
now I'm recalling some similar feelings when I watch Clannad.... so nostalgic..

and ultimate loli has descended in this episode.... Kud!!! <3

novalysis · 2012-10-28, 01:53

I think I know why Kurugaya is the best female character on my view, after hearing Kud's voice. Kurugaya's voice is the only female voice whose Seiyuu does not sound like she has a horrible case of flu.

Yeah I am really starting to wonder about the direction here because it feels a bit too disjointed now (Still in the introduction phase for this cast but we are jumping ahead into Komari's route wtf?), this episode being the worst yet on that front.

ookamigirl · 2012-10-28, 09:04

That Kud girl was pretty LOL
So clumsy, awkward, yet strangely cute.
Masato is a total airhead brute...
When they're all together it's impossible not to have fun ^^
They always have some interesting "missions".

raruku · 2012-10-28, 10:12

Kud !!

10/10 because of Kud.

Spoiler for Comparison to the VN: I still don't understand why the scripters decided to change the structure that much: sure, the events will feel a bit less "linear", since they won't have every girls' routes one after another, but the introduction and how they insert the route events for Komari aren't blending quite well, especially the baseball part becomes beyond "secondary", despite it is the driving factor that makes the group together. Because of that, the pacing felt quite odd, because you have several events not really having a clear connection to each other, which makes the story progression a bit... difficult to grasp. __________________ [Sig art: Kagura Yuu, Nunukko, Maku Rako & Mishima Kurone] / [Twitter] Last edited by Klashikari; 2012-10-27 at 20:32.
