Some of the things they've done in this anime just make little sense at all. Route was supposed to use since episode 5, where they changed up the Kyousuke Lennon reveal OST. They've been disregarding using some of the OST that Rin's The thing is that Refrain gets more complicated, and the events continue to have this deeper, double meaning, and that is shown well through the eerie mood of Refrain, the tone shifts, the OST usage, etc. 2/3 extra episodes for Rin and 5/6 extra ones for Refrain could've made for perfect pacing and scriptwriting. Instead, they have this ridiculous Little Busters! EX adaptation that they're selling with the anime, and there are 8 extra episodes that I would've much preferred to have been Rin and Refrain content added to the main anime. decided from a long time ago not to do it. It didn't get 24 episodes or whatever because Warner Bros. I feel like Kyousuke's character can essentially be ruined because of how glossed over the police barging in on Riki and Rin was taken. Lastly, the scene at the end with Riki and Rin getting caught by the police is supposed to be important, and actually drives the entire plot of Refrain from Riki and Kyousuke's part. Maeda selected that sound himself when he wrote the scene, and he uses it in Kengo and Kyousuke's flashbacks as well, and JC Staff just disregarded that idea and put a new song to it, so that was pretty frustrating.īut yeah, there are some things like the romance quickly developing, Rin getting quickly brought into the sister school situation, and her getting insanely worn out and depressed over it are all quickly done compared to the VN, so now the effects of Rin going there are melodramatic by comparison. They also changed the soundtrack from "Parting of the Boys" to some new subtle and generic newly OST for the CHEAP TRICKS scene, which disappointed me. They should've made it a bright light or a glare in Kengo's eye that we got to see in episode 6, and shown Miyuki later, and I'm really upset that they fucked up that part. The fact that he made Miyuki appear is the 2nd biggest reveal in the VN, and isn't supposed to be shown until Refrain in Kengo's arc. The baseball game still does the same thing, which is breaking up the Little Busters, but the reason why it happens, as a challenge motivated by Kengo.Īlso, in the VN, Miyuki was not fucking shown the first time around, so we had no clue about Kyousuke's manipulation. I mean, Kyousuke was practically in your face having you practice each day, and that challenge match was set up perfectly and naturally.Īnd of course, the runaway was hinted before, and there was about an hour and a half of content as part of the runaway that was just cut out entirely.
Riki talked with Kengo about running away, to which Kengo replies "Nothing but despair will await you if you take that path." prior to the baseball game. He would practice all day and receive depressing text messages from Rin at night, and there was heavy tension building up. There were baseball practices between Kyousuke/Riki each day while Rin was gone. HE was the one who would pitch and Riki would bat/practice with. Without Rin, the baseball practices still continued, and guess who was the pitcher? Yep, Kyousuke. Well, I'll note that there were a lot of setup for the plot points of this episode from the VN that were cut out. Even with 3 episodes, they could've written it to be better and more emotional, but they're just glossing over plot points, trying to pull off a good ending, and disregarding having to build up and develop much for anime viewers. They took away the very essence that made the route so tense. Riki's just running around like a headless chicken and getting depressed as time is looping, and there's no struggle for Kurugaya and Riki to retain their memories as the world around them slowly starts to crumble. The extent of her character was "The girl who obtained emotions, wished time would go on forever, played around with Riki, and watched fireworks with him." They didn't DO anything with the time loops, other than create weirdness and intrigue at what the Secret of the World was. The final scene where she disappeared was beautiful, but there was little character buildup for her. (Kurugaya route) Even with Kurugaya's route (my favorite girl), the fact that they left out parts with her diary and failed to buildup the last episode well was really frustrating.
