Yup! Finally, someone else that is dissatisfied with the artwork! I was starting to wonder, I kept seeing stuff elsewhere, suggesting that the adaption's art was not a letdown. Which I think it did. Fail. Big time >_>


Although we shouldn't be surprised. The promo video was a huge indicator. Even more prevalent is the fact that, for a long time, the name of the character designer was available: Iizuka Haruko (Ōkami-san & Her Seven Companions). Looking at a show like that, it's doubtless that Haruko would be unable to recreate Na-Ga and Itaru Hinoue's brilliance. imo.

Ahh fuck! They looked fine when I replied earlier.... Don't know why it didn't show up the last time I was on this thread o.O A mighty herp derp to me!

And don't get my last post wrong lol. I don't mean that the adaption's artwork is terrible; I just really really wanted to see some traces of Na-Ga's original style of art, and now I'm a little pouty about not having it lmao T^T



Well, I fixed the pictures. Never hotlinked stuff from ANN until that mess; hopefully the links from Facebook don't get screwed up >_>

Finished Little Busters (after reading for the last 8+ hours). Will likely be the or one of the greatest things I have ever read in my life. It would be impossible to imagine that a work fiction could cause such a strong emotional response to the reader. I have had this before with Clannad but not to this degree. This level of emotional connection is something that would only normally occur in response to real things that a person has an actual deep connection with. The fact that this fictional work was able to establish the same level of response during the reading is proof of how amazing this work of art is. For what else is art than the expression of an emotion to be conveyed? It is the effectiveness of which an emotion is conveyed that we can use to truly judge art. It is for this reason that we can call Little Busters one of the finest works of art ever created.

This is the first and only VN I have ever played. I highly recommend others try it out and play though the entire story. Especially if you are currently watching the anime. It is a much different format than a normal book and is able to allow the reader to become emerged in the story in ways that other media simply does not allow. Currently I now consider VNs the most effective method for conveying the maximum amount of depth possible to a reader. More so than any other art form currently known. No purely written work can fully express the same story in the way that a VN can.

Would expect nothing less from what some tout as "Key's greatest masterpiece"


... Now you made me really want to finish the VN! I must experience this magic called Refrain before I see it animated!!
