Little Busters Question

[Skyleft]

So, i watched the little busters anime around a year ago, and I really enjoyed it. I've heard lots of times that the VN is much better, so I'd like to play it, but I have a few questions. Simply, the anime has 2 seasons called diferently, so, are there 2 VN, or only one? Is there more than 1 version?, or should I know something before playing them?

Hiii ^o^/

VN Little Busters contains common route, heroine routes, and Refrain route

 

1st season anime covers common route + heroine routes, 2nd season anime covers Refrain

 

~~

VN also has an EX version which covers three more heroines (not completed english translation yet however), and there is a 3rd anime covering that.

Just know, it is my duty as the most vocal hater of everything, to tell you that Little Busters is bad.

Technically, Yuiko's route was included in the first few episodes of LB: Refrain.

While I watched the anime first and then read through the VN, I liked it better that way as I was able to skip over route's that I just couldn't stand. The characters appearances look better in the anime than in the VN imo too...Key's VNs are just so weird looking.

 

I'd say wait until LB EX/ME is finished translating so you can get the full experience, but it's been so long since anything's progressed, idk if that's still a good idea or not. Better question for the Topic starter, who's your favorite girl? A-Chan can not be chosen unfortunately.

I personally thought Little Busters was enjoyable. By KEY standards it's certainly not the best, and I found the gameplay element pretty pointless, but overall I don't regret playing it by any means. As with all KEY games, most of the characters are very likable.

 

The game sacrificed a lot of its dramatic potential for the sake of achieving a certain type of ending, but that doesn't invalidate the individual routes or it being a fun slice-of-life with good production values. If you like KEY's style of storytelling, it's worth playing.
