Looks like they've prepared it so long. But really looking nice. (However I still don't like the font in "Refrain" word anyway)

The first season satisfied me a lot. And J.C. has built up many things that I really unexpected too. I'm really confident Refrain will be one of the awesome anime when it's on air. Hope that not only Refrain route but also EX route too(Since they already hide Yurippe.. I mean Saya in many episode).

Hope it will come around this fall. Or may be this summer because looks like they already prepared to do this thing so a long time

That is a great depiction..... Makes me even more excited. Thanks for the share!

Rin's hair ascending? Is she accompanying the balls of light to the sky?

Haiprbim · 2013-04-07, 03:19

I'm pretty sure that everyone has seen the preview at the end of the 26th episode, but still, I'll keep the text in the Spoiler Tag:

Spoiler for Kengo hitting Kyousuke:

ronelm2000 · 2013-04-07, 08:32

I'm predicting Fall 2013 guys.

Refrain "should" be da bomb that makes it all the worthwhile.

Leon_Lelouch · 2013-04-07, 11:02

well I had ever heard that JC Staff told the watcher of LB to look forward to the end episode of Little Buster as they will announce something that will please the watcher, I guess Refrain is their answer to us
Hope that Kurugaya route is saved for this refrain and not being ignored....
just being sad as there's no the other character of LB that I like from the VN
I wonder will they go to route Sasasasegawa too or not

hope JC Staff wont fail in making us cry because after seeing S1 I seldom laugh while actually in VN it's funny....

and hope for another 26 episodes for Refrain ^^

orpheus2 · 2013-04-08, 11:52

True. I can guess this would considered the equivalent of After Story of Clannad. Let's hope the adaptation would good if not better.

Me.
Same as with the names: ~After Story~ and ~Refrain~.
I see a lot of similar details of those two all around.

Damnit Key and Light Orb analogy to Clannad...!

Rising Dragon · 2013-04-14, 00:26

So when is this supposed to start? I'm guessing at Fall, like rf said in the first post, but I don't see episode 26 listed as the season end, nor do I see an overall opinion thread for the season in full.

Episode 26 is the season's end on TV anyway, not counting the extra episode you can get by collecting all the BDs/DVDs. As for "overall opinion"... I honestly wasn't too sure if it's worth doing an opinion thread given the second half, but I guess we might as well.

Rising Dragon · 2013-04-14, 00:58

Wait, there's an extra episode?

...Yup, just like I said. People who collect all the DVDs/Blu-Rays can mail-in to get a bonus episode. That means it probably won't get in anyone's hands until after the second season has started (assuming it'll be in the Fall), because you have to wait to get all the discs, then mail in the form, then wait for them to mail the disc back to you (and they'll probably do it all at once). As such, I'm supposing it probably won't be a story-critical episode, but who knows...

The fact that the last episode is "hanging"...

Rising Dragon · 2013-04-14, 01:07

You'd think they'd just include it on one of the BD/DVDs, like OreImo's True Route episodes... that just sounds overly complicated. Though I suppose that's normal for Japan's use of multimedia franchises.

I assume it's hanging as a hook for the sequel... but I guess it's not impossible that it could be continued on that disc...

It's not so common for a bonus episode to be done that way, but actually it did happen with the original Kanon anime way back in 2002. These sorts of mail-in offers in general, though, happen fairly frequently. They encourage people to collect the whole series, and not just pick and choose their favourite episodes/arcs.

October confirmed.

...Glad to see that for once, I guessed something accurately.

I can't wait for Refrain to start, I'm really putting all of my fate on J.C Staff here.

I'm pretty sure that Kyousuke must have done something behind everyone's backs in order to make everything good, but I think it is related to what Kyousuke said to Riki in the 26th episode: "You don't know who I really am." Anyhow, we should expect some really good and strong moments!
