If Rin was being all buddy buddy with Komari and trying to cheer her up personally, then I would agree with you. However, what we see is Rin helping Riki help Komari. Rin is using Riki as a bridge to her friend she is still trying to get comfortable with, I don't really find a problem with that. Now the ending where Rin hugs Komari was touching but at the same time out of place for their level of friendship, this is considering Rin's shy personality. Quote:

And what bothers me the most with Rin is that she -does- interact with Kudo and other characters for Komari's sake, despite she hardly have enough interactions with Komari, let alone the other characters (evenin the VN, Rin couldn't really talk straight to Kudo the very first time, despite being the most harmless girl in the non original Little Busters). By definition, Rin has huge troubles to deal with strangers, and it took time for her to talk normally to any non original LB members.

I didn't exactly remember the exact time frame and period, but yeh it did happen, although even being acquainted is hardly enough for Rin to deal with someone, as shown several times in the story.
I wouldn't be surprised if both hardly had any greetings, let alone discussions beyond 1-2 lines.

In the beginning out in the rain, I agree, he's much too calm for what his personality should be at this stage. While in his room, the only thing he could do is listen and think and not take action to make things better, which is what his weak self usually does. Next we have him in the lunchroom with the rest of the team. Here he displays for the first time IIRC that he doesn't really have the courage to face his problems, much less help others with theirs. He tries to run away but Kousuke stops him with his little speech which gives Riki a push towards becoming stronger. It's much too subtle but at least it's being hinted at... BTW, I couldn't help but laugh at when Kousuke was watching Riki outside his room when he was drawing. It was like "Fu fu fu, my plan is progressing." |

After watching the subbed episode I don't have much to add to what Klashikari said...
Nearly every scene Rin was in annoyed me...just the way she took action to "help Riki help Komari", the way she seemed to so naturally interact to Kud, Haruka and even Anego and the hug at the end. God, the hug at the head was so incredibly bad, don't get me wrong, it was touching...but like it was said, it was so out of place considering Rin's shyness and the little interaction she had with Komari (How long has Komari been in the LB by now? 3, 4 days?). Riki's strength bugged me as well...but it's nothing new considering he's seemed stronger than he should be since the second episode...still annoys me though. He never once doubted if he should just go along with the whole Onii-chan thing, he never freaked out about anything, he just seemed like he was on the ball most of the time and Kyousuke's words took care of what little was left. Where was the Grandpa's story about his wife? I always felt it served perfectly to show Riki what would happen if he accepted her calling him Onii-chan...then again he seemed already so fucking mentally stronger that it would be useless >_> And of course...no loops after each girl is now pretty much confirmed. I really don't get why they are making such changes, they have more than 26 episodes to work with so it's not from a lack of time...I can't even enjoy the episodes anymore, honestly I'm just in it to see how much they butcher Anego's route...kinda like watching a train wreck, it's horrible but you just can't look away. Well...at least they didn't pull a Majikoi here...that's a plus. |

Komari Arc just feels rushed for me. Not the build-up, but the BSOD. I didn't have enough impact. (reference ftw) But, Ep 6 had 50% of its VN impact, and that's "good". Not the best, but "good". Also...check the list! Code:
<<Required Points>> [X] 3-cour MINIMUM [X] Omnibus / Continuous Format w/ Skipped Parts [X] Required Details (Mention / Flashback / Short Sequence) >>> [X] Battle Rankings >>> [X] Baseball Practice >>> [ ] "Shaka-Shaka Hey!" Special Emphasis >>> [ ] Rin vs Unidentified Lifeforms >>> [ ] Kick the Can >>> [ ] Stage Play Ideas >>> [ ] (Can be "Last Playthrough" Only) LB wins the Baseball Match >>> [X] Ripples of Thoughts at EP 1 [X] New versions of: >>> [X] Alicemagic >>> [X] Little Busters! [X] No changes to: >>> [X] Komari's VA >>> [X] Rin's VA >>> [X] Kud's VA >>> [X] Kurugaya's VA [ ] Refrain is handled w/ care (at least one of the main points) >>> [ ] a KyoAni adaptation of 2nd season >>> [ ] a KyoAni movie adaptation of 1st season >>> [ ] Perfect 1+-cour season [ ] OVAs (any one of the ff.) >>> [ ] Kurugaya's True Route OVA >>> [ ] Muscle Sensation OVA >>> [ ] Kud Wafter OVA [ ] Special EDs at the end of the Arc >>> [ ] Mio >>> [ ] Kurugaya >>> [ ] Haruka >>> (Added for plus points) [X] Komari <<Bonus Points>> [ ] EX Routes (in the form of OVA / Episodes) >>> [ ] Kanata >>> [ ] Sasami >>> [ ] Saya (Can NEVER be an OVA btw.) [ ] Unnecessary Points (will be expanded soon) >>> [ ] Kurugaya's Advice to everyone >>> [ ] Mio and the Science Club >>> [ ] At least one cameo of the extra chars. before the Arcs. >>> [ ] Fix Kurugaya Arc + Rin Arc 's <IjustwantRiki> character >>> [ ] Mention the "For some reason I can't go to <place>" >>> [ ] The Big Cat during Baseball Practice / Rin's Arc (I don't know its name though) >>> [ ] Haruka and the Apocalypse Scenario >>> [ ] Display Stats (Like Arm Power, etc.) [ ] 4-cour [X] Visuals Consistency (Reason: it's consistently average on average eps and great on key ones.)

I'm kind of with you here. Though, from what I can remember about Anego's route, is there really anything that CAN be butchered from her route? |

It seems they are going with the "No Romance" approach...and we are talking about routes where Riki's romance with the girls are incredibly important. Plus with no loops, I even wonder how they will work with Anego's route. What about the final resolution of Kud's route? She gets taken and imprisoned, left to die and frees herself and then goes back to school like nothing happened? I really wanna see how they will do all the routes without loops... |

However, they would have to answer other questions if Refrain already happened like..why are they still there? |

Episode 7 was quite terrible:
They decided to finally show what happens after a battle, but it makes the previous ones a little... more random since you didn't have any consistent follow up. But what makes a bigger problem was how Haruka was introduced: instead of having the trickster lurking around and pulling pranks left and right, it feels she "suddenly" is on rampage, as her presence was barely there prior episode 7. What is worse is how they literally skipped Yuiko and Haruka's interactions: there is no way for people to realize that they knew each other prior enrolling in the LB, and it will be even weirder for Haruka to call her "anego" in the future, if they literally skipped their "first onscreen interaction". They really pushed too much on Haruka's routes aspect, which made Kanata sort of a device than a character on her own. Suffice to say, I'm not exactly expecting a lot with how linear they went with this mess. Also, Riki is... nearly stronger than Refrain Riki as far as I'm concerned: the way they made Horie voicing Riki during his confrontation with Kanata was so coarse that you would wonder why Riki needs character development.

Haruka not reacting to Kurugaya at all was a bit weird. However, they can still go over their relationship later on.
Shaka-shaka-hey was supposed to take place when Rin attempted to recruit Haruka. I wonder if they'll just make up a different excuse for Haruka to give Rin a tambourine.
