All in all, this was a very nice episode.
They showed the actual crash and not just the aftermath, which I was hoping they would as I wanted to see more of that event, and more of the Little Busters in the real world. I wanted a brutal scene with impact (does that make me a sadist?) and they certainly delivered. I'm also happy they explained Kyousuke's presence on the bus. But what about Haruka? They also went into a bit more detail concerning Rin's past that left her traumatized to begin with, which has been bothering me since it was first mentioned. It's noteworthy, as I didn't expect them to explain anything at all at this point, though to be honest I still have no idea what actually happened to her. The sequence was scary enough and reminded me of the one with Miyuki on the roof (no idea what was going on there either) in episode 25. As for Rin's spiritual trip... I have no idea what happened there. Were those the actual people? Or only Komari? How could that happened now that the dream world is gone? And then Komari's ribbon starts to glow and Rin turns Super Saiyan.. what? Nonetheless, the massive development for Rin is of course welcome, even if it was rather late. At any rate, as suspected it looks like it will be a happy ending after all. Depending on the amount of people still alive it looks like they have one hell of a task ahead, as I seriously doubt they're just going to ignore everyone who is not a Little Buster like poor Suginami next to Kud. Or the bus driver. |

The scene with Rin and her super saiyan thing was really unnecessary and exaggerated, LOL. Ignore it, it'll hurt your head. Rin's spiritual trip was probably reality-mixed memories of everybody that has left the dream world. Last edited by Magicflier; 2013-12-21 at 17:31. |

I feel a little less irritated by Rin's cardboard role in the last episode since they seem to be going in a direction where she will get to be the big damn hero in the end. Also, giving her some moments with the girls was welcome, if not downright needed, since none of them had really gotten the spotlight this season.
The pacing feels a bit strange to me at the moment. I mean, that ostensibly impending gas explosion is being downright accommodating to meaningful epiphanies at this point. But hell, I can't think of a better way to do it without shortchanging all of the girls, Rin included. I still don't like Kyousuke's chances, but it sounds like there may be hope for the rest of them yet, which is better than the prognosis they left us with last week. |

Alright so thank god they included what I wanted them to. I still have a bit of issues of how the accident played out, but that is being me. Still they did a pretty good job and improved on many points.

In the novel they never mentioned what happened to her. Which is odd. So ,rest assured nobody has any real idea. |

next episode is the last???? really??
finally..... Rin showed some response... and got huge development it's like finally she's being honest with herself her situation is little lame comparing to other girls but since she's the one who learned most, she's worth to be main girl in LB and seeing the girls once more.... ah... that peaceful feelings well, I don't mind Rin X Komari time to put on some Key's magic? I truly hope there's some sequence about Riki and Rin living together first though (but it will be too late to save the students) well, I hope we won't get any bloody sequence of any LB's members... it will break viewers' pure heart |

It might have been better had these scenes been scattered all throughout the adaptation after the completion of each girl's routes (with the exception of Kurugaya,for obvious reasons), as Komari's promise had been.
But other than that, this has been a surprisingly intelligent adaptation of a rather weakly written section of the VN (besides Komari's farewell, which was really strongly done in the original too). Shame that the girls have been grossly short changed, and could not part together just like the boys. And now, for some Key Magic to save the day. (Although a little bit of courage (and friendship) is the true magic when it comes to Little Busters, I suspect). |

I just want to confirmed one thing. Everything that has happened previously so far was all in a fantasy world right? So does that mean that the original Little Busters gang never made friends with the other five girls in real life?
BTW, that crash scene was so surreal, it felt like it you were there, very brutal. |
