I'll be listening to Haruka Kanata for years to come, but not Haruka's Theme. My overall impression is brought down mainly because of the fact that some of the tracks that occupy playtime I simply wouldn't listen to in any other capacity. However, a few songs were unequivocally S class. I distinctly remember times when I thought "There will definitely be a CG for this." and then "Fuck yeah!" or "Oh my god." *tears* Some of the CGs, as well as their timings, were downright superb. The sprites fit seamlessly with their characters, from the shaded eyes of a dejected Kengo or a furious Kurugaya to the various cat positions of Rin. That said, the art converged well with every other aspect of the game to deliver its emotional package. Unlike the sweeping landscapes of Shinkai works, the psychedelic collages of Gankutsuou, or the sexy lasers of Gundam Unicorn, LB did not blow me away with phenomenal art. They meet new people, discover more about everyone, and have many laughs and tears in the process. From this apparently nonsensical cafeteria discussion, the Little Busters grow into a full-fledged baseball team while Riki and Rin grow into the team's ace batter and pitcher, respectively.
Now in high school, Kyousuke returns from searching for work in the big city only to tell his friends that such is not the meaning of his life and that they should all play baseball together to define and confirm their existence.

Together with two other boys, Masato and Kengo, plus Kyousuke's sister Rin, the 5 Little Busters spent their childhood together having fun and busting evil. Kyousuke, a 3rd year and the tacit leader of the Little Busters, recruited Riki when they were still small boys, during a time when Riki was depressed and shut-in after the deaths of his parents. This group of friends, the namesake of the story, is the Little Busters. He's also clever, loyal, and blessed with great friends that together form the centerpiece of this story. He's meek, dependant, and cursed with fainting spells*. Synopsis: We begin behind the eyes of Naoe Riki, a 2nd year at a boarding high school. Warning: Anything in a spoiler tag may be a spoiler. Though it’s a Japanese game, an English translation for every route but Rin 2 and Refrain can be found on the internet.įirst I'm going to give an overall review of the game and then get into some route by route summaries. LB itself spawned some manga and a light novel. Key has created many well-known VNs including Kanon, Air, Clannad, LB, and Rewrite. For those unfamiliar with the medium, a VN is essentially a book with graphics, sprites, voices, music, and choices.
Little Busters! (LB) is an all-ages visual novel (VN) released by Key Visual Arts in 2007. They still hang out together, and enjoy their school life.#1 So I finally decided to get off my ass and write a Summary and Review of Little Busters! This is pretty much my first formal review of anything ever, inspired by Southlight's excellent treatment of the Steins Gate visual novel. When the story begins, Riki and his friends are seemingly in their second year of the high school they attend, except for Kyousuke who is in his third year. In time, Riki really enjoyed playing with them, and his grief over his parents gradually faded away. They took Riki out and played together with him during his time of need, effectively making him the fifth member of the Little Busters. The other two members of the Little Busters were Masato Inohara and Kengo Miyazawa, who are rivals despite being friends. The leader of the Little Busters was Kyousuke Natsume who had a younger sister named Rin. What saved him was a group of three young boys and one girl his age who referred to themselves as the Little Busters-a group dedicated to fighting evil and preserving justice. When Riki was a child, his parents died, leaving him hopeless and depressed. EditSynopsis Little Busters! story revolves around the main protagonist Riki Naoe, a young male high school student.
