I'm being deliberately vague, I want others to maybe see this for what it means eventually too. Endings and if they're even worth moving on from, endings not in relation to new chapters in one life but the strength necessary in becoming an independent person that can realize a new chapter to begin with, endings and how they grief people in such stunningly prolonged ways, endings and what someone would do to prevent an ending from being an ending at all, endings and how martyred responsibility need not be how you end it all. This is a visual novel that is, obviously, concerned with fleeting adolescence, coming of age, self actualization and more generally, endings. Certainly, LB is preoccupied with themes that other VNs have brushed upon but it examines them so much more expansively. Kyousuke's charm, his stoicism, his penchant for goofiness, spontaneity, pranks, and manga among other things build his myth for his companions and this dynamic of idolic appraisal being so effective is what makes the climax of Little Busters work. Hell, even the music is a standard rush of j rock, perky elevator bubblegum pop BGM, wistful and yearning piano pieces, and eerie synth warbling tracks ( every one of which I enjoyed more than I had anticipated ) It is ALL intact and accounted for. At its core there are the familiar tenets that make up the being of any self-respecting KEY nakige, a propensity for heightened and occasionally grating personal drama, a vein of magical realism that runs through the overarching narrative, a host of girls that differ from their set VN archetypes JUST enough to charming, and a common route packed to the brim with requisite Slice-Of-Life passages that have an alarmingly high batting average in how funny and entertaining they can be. Little Busters is not so adventurous a follow-up KEY title that its distinction arises from any foundational differences in its writing, though.
And I do think there is a distinction to be made in the way that Little Busters struck me that I would be inclined to even write what is essentially a letter of endearment for a work I am not as attached to as Clannad. With that statement planted firmly in the proverbial ground, I want to address the far more compelling question of "why" that is so oft avoided with respect to KEY VNs. For some ideas on other visual novels that have received anime adaptations as well as some other greats that haven’t, check out my article on Anime vs Visual Novels here! As of yet there has not been a date set for the release of Little Busters! EX, but when there has been you’ll hear about it in our Anime News section.Yeah, to sort that out immediately I cried at the end of Little Busters in a way I have not since I experienced Clannad years ago. It is just one of many awesome visual novels adapted into anime over the years. Can never go wrong with this one, though Sayas theme is gonna have. Amazing track in a visual novel with amazing tracks. Its just very cozy to hear it ringing in the morning everyday.
Little Busters! Refrain will begin airing in the upcoming anime season starting this October. It has 3 or 4 tracks playing all at the same time, making this so great to listen to. But one day they start receiving strange letters from a cat and it seems that maybe they might need to fight for justice after all! Want a minute-by-minute forecast for Fawn-Creek, Kansas MSN Weather tracks it all, from precipitation predictions to severe weather warnings, air quality updates, and even wildfire alerts. The other members are the leader Kyousuke, his shy and quiet sister Rin, the muscle-obsessed Masato and the kendo user Kengo.
Now, as friends in highschool they have long since stopped pretending to be superheroes and focus their energy on recruiting new members to the Little Busters and forming their own baseball team. Little Busters tells the story of protagonist Riki Naoe, who is a member of the titular Little Busters, a group consisting of four boys and one girl who have all been close friends since childhood. Causing havoc in their city, they roam the streets as a force for justice, pretending to vanquish evil and ne’er-do-wells. His family torn apart by the death of his parents, Riki Naoe is left with nowhere to turn until a group of kids called the Little Busters convince him to join their group. It seems likely that this is the case when you take into account the announcement banner which features Kanata Futaki and Sasami Sasasegawa who are only really featured prominently in the Ecstacy storyline. Assuming that this is to be the anime adaptation of Little Busters! Ecstacy, then it will be a retelling of Key’s Little Busters! visual novel with added adult scenes and some modified story elements. It has only been 5 months since the conclusion of the first season, but today the official site for the Little Busters! anime project announced that a second follow-up project is in the works called Little Busters! EX.
