Really nice episode. I liked the way they handled masato vs kurugaya and that JC showed actual somewhat effort for it. [mod edit: removed comment about game content not yet shown] So 8/10

Who is there? ;)

Dynamic tag cannot be rendered. (PrintableThread)
Really nice episode.
Later commented.

Loved the fact that Kurugaya treats Riki like her personal plaything. The first real character I've come to like so far.

I liked Kurugaya, my favorite character for now ^^

Hmm I'm not getting the Haruka vibe I usually get when she's interacting with Riki. Well, she only made an appearance, this episode wasn't really focusing on her, so I can live with it for now. I will be so annoyed though if they screw up her character. :mad:

EDIT: I forgot, "Melancholy of a Noisy Girl" played! That made me so smile, love that song. :D

Her voice does sound different as well. Less...hyper genki.

I really anticipated anego's introduction, but it came off pretty unimpressive altogether. Never did grab me the same way the first two episodes did, and I've started to take note of how badly some of the jokes played out in this episode. It's a bit of a disappointment.

Man...people bitch and moan about animation quality and whatnot...and I'm sure some will again but I don't give a damn. I'm enjoying the show very very much as is!

And by the Gods! How can you not give this episode a high rating!? This was the introduction of the Goddess of Everything! Anego! All hail Anego! Praise be her appearance!

[mod edit: removed meme image...]
WE ARE NOT WORTHY!!!!

Oh snap...was that who I think it was?

I feel like a broken record, but this episode is another slow one, although more than the content, the execution was the real issue, with the jokes being delivered in such a way that makes things... almost disjointed within the same scene (especially the "conclusion" of Masato and Yuiko's fight)

Speaking of which, I felt Yuiko's intro relatively flat. It is good to see her still self sufficient, although due to how the jabs and lines were executed, and the absolutely lack of "deadly cold" impressions of some of her lines, she isn't exactly intimidating. In fact, she sounds more arrogant/mocking Masato in this episode, than frosty Kuu.
Meanwhile, they surely weren't exactly subtle with the fanservice, oh well...

Anyway, another good episode. Rather than Anego, Haruka is also adorable but somehow I think her voice pitch is somewhat different comparing to the game, and next episode finally we are going to have Kud-chan on screen :D

Wow!!, By this, I can expect Reincarnation of Yurippe-Sama's route somewhere now in the future!! :heh:

Yep, Haruka's first appearance accompanied by no music had me worried, it just didn't feel right without "Melancholy". Glad they managed to stick it in her (rather short :() second appearance.

And that IS the same seiyuu as the game right??? Glad I'm not the only one who found her voice....off.

Yeah, the seiyuu is the same :heh: Let's just hope that her voice was not very Haruka-ish in this episode.

I have to admit, the only characters that I feel that their voices haven't changed are Kyousuke, Kengo, Masato (although off at some points), Komari (again, off sometimes), Kurugaya, and Kud (just judging from her Enrish PV).

It seems like Horie's male voice is getting better, especially compared to the first episode. Masato doing his muscle dance is just the most humorous parts of the anime so far XD

oh my, she's there, haha nice nice

I believe J.C. is trying to brainwash all of us here for going into muscle :heh:

So the girls are coming into the harem....

That part was amazing, and something they coulden't do in the VN.


Muscles!!

my response when Kurugaya joined... eh? just like that?? are you sure?? :heh:

yea yea... she is truly one of the best addition in the team... a complete combination of ladylike-girl with strong power and elegant attitude....
but I think Rin is still the cutest in this episode.. :heh:

watching the next episode preview....
"eh! is that Kud??" *rubbing eyes*
omg! she'll appear in next ep!

Well, it looks like they are building up their team now.

I am guessing 3 more episodes of character introduction before we can get to the main plot. Then again, I don't mind. Slow progression in Key's work is normal.

Episode 3 felt a little more unorganized than 2. Then again, that may be my Kamikito<3 talking.

Having fun with it though; made me go back and look at some of the older Little Busters music, which brings back great memories.

Kurugaya is one of my favorites in the VN, and she proved it here yet again. The popout pirate fight was as good as I remember. Glad to see longer version of Heroic Battle music. Now I just hope Riki fights later on...
