And thus it always comes down on what you WANT to happen... Key leaves it up to you to decide the ending.. they've become quite good at it actually, look at Angel Beats
SPOILER ALERT: ANGEL BEATS! The ending showed everyone reincarnating, which left you very sad for the male protagonist (the names escape me, been many years since i've seen it) because he finally realized he loved the girl known as Angel and wanted to stay with her, and upon hearing that she was able to reincarnate... Leaving the main character no choice but to move on and reincarnate himself... It was a sad ending, however, after the credits you hear a new female character humming the same song that Angel always used to hum, and you then see the main character chasing after her. <-- again you decide if he catches her or not and if it ended happily. Similar events occured in Kanon <-- really damn sad in my opinion, Clannad, and pretty much EVERY anime Key has ever released... While we're on the topic!!! Who's excited for the upcoming release of the LB anime?! and also, how long do you think it will take for a dubbed release? |

As for the LB anime. First impression from the trailer was the characters look different, especially their eyes. It is still uncertain how they will tell the story, how they are gonna handle each arc in addition to the main arc. The VN itself is even longer than Clannad so I hope they don't rush through LB in just one season. Now that I think about it, two seasons of 24 episodes each is like 4 months of painful weekly episodes, not to mention the delay between the seasons. I really can't stand weekly episodes. >.> |

RE: anime
One impression I had of the game before I read it all was that everything seemed...artificial to put it simply. The common route had mini-games, scoring tables, fight scenes, the background CGs even seemed a bit off, giving, to me at least, that artificial feeling. Coupled with the technoriffs they used in much of the music gave me that overall impression of Little Busters! routes before Refrain, and that's not even counting Kudo's, Mio's and kurugaya's routes. That's how it all then clicked for me nicely during the denouement when I learned about "the secret of the world".
Though I'm not going to watch the anime, one thing I think would've made a good impression to me, or maybe the viewers, is if they included such evocative things about the world to aid in foreshadowing. Probably noticing the same old students walking to and fro in the background, with quite blank/featureless faces for most of them when Riki's not looking directly at them, or maybe make most places Riki goes to seem empty.

Nah, dropping subtle hints is always a good thing in a story such as this one. Plus using one of the routes like they did Kurugaya's was genius...her whole route is what makes most people start to connect the dots.
And there's also the whole "Some routes have fantasy elements, some don't." which makes you wonder...why are there such fantasy elements in Mio and Kuu's routes but none in Haruka and Komari? |

I didn't even know there was a manga for Tomoyo-After... Now I'm off to spend some money! Speaking of spin-offs. Kud Wafter's translation has made some excellent progress! I'm excited for that one as well! Now if I could only convince Key to produce another side story for Kurugaya, who was undoubtedly my favorite heroine.

I would appreciate if you stick with the thread topic, instead of pulling random chatters and whatnot. Chunk of posts have been removed.
If you have nothing to supplement in any -discussion- related to LB, please don't post.

Why DID Doruji appear only in EX?
Anyway... [A short summary of what I understand so far... playing the untranslated route.] Spoiler for Kyousuke / Saya:
Like I said, <<Bonus Points>> for JC if they have somehow included that cat (w/c is Doruji) in the Baseball Practice. While it accounts to many as wierd, and "wtfsuchacatexists?!" reactions, it's a good reference to note that not everything is what it seems. As for Suginami, let's just say that what seems to be "throw-away characters" is bad in the eyes of many people (including me.) Even a short cameo would be great, simply to prove she was there in the first place.

Having played through the game, I am confused to whether this is a BL game or not...
What with Masato confessing like nearly every scene, Kyousuke and Riki moments and the sleepover scene... Another great work by Key, although Rin didn't feel like a Heroine by much..... (Not going to check out Kud wafer, it hurts just thinking about it) |

Sounds like Saya's a good start off for several fanfics.
Spoiler for Saya, IMO:
I wanted to take other EX routes (the *cough*extended*cough* versions of everyone's routes + Kanata and Sasami), but I feel as if I'm going to miss a lot more if I look at it untranslated. (in fact, even the present EX Common Route in TL-Wiki has quite a lot of those...) I have a feeling, though, that the EX routes will see the light of day... if not animated by the Key-affiliated guys... ==== I haven't noticed though, but was there any changes to the battle items in EX and the original? sure there was Doruji... then...? Quote:
EDIT: I forgot something... Saya's Song is very very good... almost like as dramatic as the Clannad EDs. EDIT2: Unrelated. Shaka-Shaka-Hey? Shaka Shaka Hey. Spoiler:

For the EX heroine routes, actually I don't hope much about that. However if there it is, then it's fine. . |

As for the EX routes, better discuss that in the game thread. Come to the think of it, I'm not even sure if all heroines will be possible to squeeze in the first place, because of the length, but also how they will have to change few things, depending if they do a continuous adaptation or use the omnibus format. At least, I hope they will do something like: Komari => Kud=> Haruka => Mio => Yuiko => Rin [///] [Pre Refrain] => Refrain. Although if they really plan Ex routes, they should logically put Kanata route right after Haruka, so that would mean they have to tackle non EX heroine back in the "possible" S2. So, the logical way they should do that would be: Komari => Kud => Haruka => Kanata => Mio [///] Yuiko => Rin => Saya => Refrain But if we assume that there won't be a S2, well... they will have to discard Kud, Haruka, Mio, the EX routes and change Yuiko so it will "match" Rin, but I would definitely not like the outcome of that kind of decision...
