I just watched episode 1. I have played the VN as well, and I have to say that I'm very satisfied. I think it's off to a great start.
It was quite faithful for a first episode. Loved how they used the BGM straight from the game. So nostalgic! The only gripe I have is that Riki's flashback scenes were barely animated, with plenty of still shots. Then again, that's still (a bit) better than just all text. I think I can easily get used to hearing Yui Horie as Riki. Even Sasami's new VA sounds good enough for me. Excellent.

Just finished watching the first episode of Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo, another new series from Fall 2012 and found it interesting that J.C Staff is doing that one too. Hah! Mind you, the effort isn't brilliant or anything, but it still looked more palatable (visually anyway) compared to LB's first episode. Not sure exactly what's going on with the budget allocation or how much they are working with for animating LB, but I'm sure it will become crystal clear by episode 5 or so.

My viewing of the first episode didn't occur until today, as I've been swamped with studies the past week and I really wanted to be able to sit down, relax and watch the episode. Now that I did, I really feel like I have to write a review, as I've been waiting 3 years for this to happen. (Warning! Veeeery long review ahead)
Spoiler for Review:
Sorry for the long review, but again, noone's forcing you to read it :> |

Good question. I'm supposing they may not really have fixed "subdivisions", but more of a dynamic workforce that forms and reforms based on the projects, and the requests of the episode directors (and requirements of storyboards). In any case, they can certainly manage a lot of work, though. Their official website says that they have 120 employees (including contract workers), so that's a fair bit of capacity (but obviously they outsource like everyone else).

I’ll give it to episode 3 before passing judgement. Throughout this episode I kept waiting for the hook to set and pull me in, and it never happened. I hope it gets better because it doesn’t look or sound bad, just no story yet. It’s just not a strong first episode compared to other shows this season.

Hmm... I did play the first 20 minutes of LB!, so I mostly have a grasp of what's going on (so far), and the transition to anime seemed quite smooth. Some gags I laughed at (particularly the fight scene where Masato was left with an Eel Bread), and some I felt were only slightly funny and could have been added in better (Rin's title). The situation is set up well, overall.
Really loved the ED, though judging by Key's works, I can assume there will be mood whiplash in the future, just like Clannad Afterstory. Overall, this episode was average, loved the game references thrown in (pretty much the only ones I'll get, with how far I've played), but looks to get a lot better.
