Nicο Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 When tragedy struck Riki Naoe as a child, he was rescued from grief over his parent's deaths when four other kids "recruited" him for their group—the "Little Busters." Now in high school, Riki and the other Busters are still fast friends, and though their vision of being heroes for justice may have faded, they'd still do anything for each other. Which is why Riki is now on TWO special missions. The not so secret one: recruiting new members so the Busters can form a baseball team. Preferably FEMALE recruits, as the current dude/babe ratio is an inconvenient 4 to 1. The OTHER mission, though... That's the strange one. Because Riki and Rin, the group's singular girl, are receiving odd messages, delivered by cats, concerning the existence of a "secret world" and assigning them tasks they have to complete. Were their youthful dreams of being crusaders not so fanciful after all? Or is there something even more vital at stake? Between steeling his courage to talk to girls, dealing with his own narcolepsy and facing his feelings concerning Rin, Riki may just need the strength of a superhero to solve the ultimate mystery of the Little Busters! So Refrain just started and I found it to have a much stronger start than first season. I seriously did want Kurugaya to smash their faces in, the animation is much better, and what the hell is Kengo doing wearing a school uniform during the ending.

Thar Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Tissues... CHECK! Kittens.. CHECK! Peppered beef jerky (as an excuse for the tears)... CHECK! Operation C.R.Y.L.I.K.E.A.S.A.P., ready for takeoff! - Oh my god, I can't wait to watch the first episode after work. I love this anime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 I've heard from my friends this is quite good, I need to watch it sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Zero Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Those were some of the worst bullies I've ever seen. Who still thinks they could destroy a friendship, after being caught trying to and them straight up saying it is your goal?Is Komari's and/or Kud's VA different? They sound odd.

goddamnit names are a pain Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Hey! I just started watching the first season. I like it so far. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thar Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Those were some of the worst bullies I've ever seen. Who still thinks they could destroy a friendship, after being caught trying to and them straight up saying it is your goal? Totally. You honestly expect a few practical jokes to destroy something that strong? And leaving an obvious trail by being seen through the window... running away? I give their plan a D-. And I was totally expecting one of those cringe-worthy antagonistic down-talks to be gotten away with when Riki found them, but oh my gosh... seeing Yuiko threaten them like she did... Episode 2... come sooner! 0_o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicο Posted October 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 You're both right. Still, what they did was pretty horrible as far as bullying I've seen, in more than one way... I didn't notice any difference in Komari or Kud's voices, but I do know that Mio's original VA from the VNs is taking over again. Good job though, first season Mio.

Fusion X. Denver Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Refrain had a good first episode. I was like 0_o when Kurugaya lost her head as well. Kinda wish Key would stop beating the amnesia cliche over and over, but whatever. Minor complaint. Looking forward to some more great characterization!

Thar Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 [spoiler=Episode 2]...My mind is full of f*ck right now. Had Riki been dreaming this entire time? 0_o Anyway, oh my gosh, I was laughing my ass off when Kyousuke resembled "loli" as "(21)", even more at Masato's reaction. xD[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to some more great characterization!Hmmm, apparently, episode 2 doesn't make what I thought it made clear all that clear. But I'm not gonna mention it since it should be fully explained at a later time, and that I was just spoiled before the first season even came out. >.> Still great though. Oh well, at least they've never executed the whole amnesia thing horribly, imo. If this is Kurugaya's route, I'm not impressed. As far as this episode goes, it felt a whole lot more common than the other ones, and when Kurugaya was there, it bored me for some reason, unlike the first one. But oh well, still great fun.

Yeah, I don't blame you, nor do I blame Rin. I support Riki x Rin WAY more than Riki x Kurugaya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thar Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 God damn it. I have dreams like this, but I'm entirely thankful that I can wake up from them. That would be f*cking torture if I couldn't, especially with the reality of having no friends pounding on the outside. Feels or not, Kurugaya and Riki just doesn't click with me. Get out of this dream and get together with Rin. Only then will I be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicο Posted October 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Yeah, I don't blame you, nor do I blame Rin. I support Riki x Rin WAY more than Riki x Kurugaya. Me too. Kurugaya knows Riki and Rin belong together... I mean something else. Was fighting back the tears in episode 3. I actually did tear up a bit. ;~; Probably from knowing what happened, but man, I'm glad that's over with. I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that about her. :3 Ah, I can't understand why that one girl is so Shiori. <3 Can't get over how bro Kyousuke is and how hilarious Masato is.
