I found it a little rushed, but I'm not too worried since LB is a huge story, so I'm sure they'll find their pace and go with it. The VA didn't disturb me since it's Japanese, and they were using the same VA's as the VN, so I'm used to it, for better or worse. Hate Riki's voice though. The anime is worse in that regard since the VN only had small slices of his voice, but now it will be in every episode .

I laughed at the jokes, but a couple of them were poorly presented because of time constraints and the subtitles tried to translate terms directly to English (boys suggesting variations of "ohaiou gozimous". The joke wasen't great in its native language but even worse when the translator tried to "english-ize" it.

Animation wasn't great, which is too bad because the Clannad anime made those sprites look great in motion.
Well actually, Riki does have a different Seiyuu, as does Sasami and Mio (who we haven't heard yet). I'm pleasantly surprised that you concluded that they were the same people :P
