Looks like Dengeki G's Magazine, last month's issue (which is, perhaps oddly, labelled November 2013, the way magazines often are).

You're close.

Refrain will indeed be 13 episodes, but EX will come as extras on the Refrain BDs, for a total of 8 episodes (last BD volume will have two EX episodes).

Oh well,at least Saya's arc get 4 episodes,too bad for Sasami and Kanata though.

MCAL · 2013-10-19, 15:28

Seeing as how they are Blu-ray only episodes, they can be longer than 21 minutes. Maybe even 45 minutes...

I assume that they other two characters will probably get two episodes each, but it occurred to me that it isn't impossible that the EX episodes included on the Refrain discs could cover 2 heroines (4 episodes each?), and the 3rd heroine could possibly be sold separately. I don't think this is likely, but it isn't impossible. More likely it's just going to be split 4/2/2.

Beside Saya,the other 2 heroines doesn't really have enough materials to be sold separately and since Saya's arc is confirmed to be the first 4 episodes of EX,there really is no doubt that they're gonna go with 4/2/2.
Weird but nice move from J.C staff really,let the most popular heroine goes first to have all the glory and help boosting DVD/BD sales right from the beginning while she's at it.

Well, just for the record... it's Warner Home Video who's really responsible for this decision, so credit to them. J.C. Staff makes the animation, but they don't decide how it gets sold.

It does make it interesting for us in that there'll be an OVA a month (+2 at the end) for the months following the end of the TV airing. I guess we'll still move the forum to "Older Series", but it is unusual...

Deathscyther · 2013-10-19, 17:33

That's an interesting move by Warner Home Video. This will probably increase the DVD/BD sales. Especially doing Saya's route first is a smart move. She's the most popular EX girl after all.

I wonder if they'll connect these routes to the main story or if they'll air them as separate 'what if' stories.

Rising7 · 2013-10-19, 18:06

My prediction is they'll have about the same level of detachment as the earlier routes in the first season, which didn't reference the underlying story heavily, if at all. It would be interesting if there are indications in the EX episodes definitively planting them somewhere in the sequence of Refrain or even first season episodes, but to me hardly a requirement.

AP24 · 2013-10-19, 22:01

My guess is we won't see any hints of whether the EX routes take place before or after the Refrain arc in the anime.

Zankoku12 · 2013-11-24, 20:27

Your goddess is here,people.

Aspirety · 2013-11-25, 08:39

Does that mean the EX episodes will be included on each of the blu rays?

Nachtwandler · 2013-11-25, 18:09

Are you read previous news or what? Each BD/DVD would contain 2 Refrain eps and 1 EX ep. While 7th BD/DVD would have 1 Refrain ep and 2 EX eps. 8 eps in total(half of them for Saya's arc)

Zankoku12 · 2013-12-25, 01:53

Episode 1-4 : Saya
Episode 5-6 : Sasami
Last one : Kanata

Aspirety · 2013-12-26, 05:37

That order seems unusual... Also, I thought there were 8 OVAs. Something special for the last one?

AP24 · 2013-12-26, 07:18

In the CM, it says:
BD vol.1-4: Saya (1 episode each)
BD vol.5-6: Sasami (1 episode each)
BD vol.7: Kanata (2 episodes)

Zankoku12 · 2013-12-26, 07:19

I meant the last arc,episode 7-8 is Kanata (too lazy to type :P).Nothing special there.

Also,Mezameta Asa ni wa Kimi ga Tonari ni is EX ending song.

Saya looks really cool; really liked her facial expressions and that hair style. It seems very familiar. Must be those all those tails her ridiculously long hair contains.

Seems like Little Busters's expansion had some small but significant additions. It's kinda like Starcraft: Brood War! Saya can be like the Dark Templar (really cool new flashy type who's in the shadows), Kanata the Corsair (cool personality and serves as support) and Sasami is like the Devourer (Nobody gives a fuck).

Whoops, the Angel Beats vibes started to make me to randomly create Starcraft references... please ignore me
