「空の青 海のあを」 (Sora no Ao Umi no Ao)
“The Blue of the Sky and the Blue of the Sea”

Enter Nishizono Mio (formally, anyway), and she’s quite different than the other cast members we’ve met so far.

「学食を救え」 (Gakushoku o Sukue!)
“Save the School Cafeteria!”

It’s becoming increasingly obvious to me that my view on Little Busters and the general zeitgeist are two ships passing in the night, likely never to meet again. But in the immortal words of George Costanza, “Jimmy crack corn, and I don’t care.”

「れっつ、るっきんぐふぉーるーむめいとなのです」 (Rettsu, Rukkingu Fō Rūmumeito nano desu)
“Let’s Looking For Roommates!”

It would be easy to sum up the strength of this episode with “Duh – it’s Kud!” And while our little Euro-Asian hybrid is without question the most entertaining of all the girls we’ve seen so far (at least to me) this was a pretty strong ep on multiple levels.

「さて、わたしは誰でしょう?」 (Sate, Watashi wa Dare Deshō?)
“Now Then, Who Am I?”

Of all the series I’ve liked over the last couple of seasons, Little Busters! may be the hardest affection to justify.

「みつけよう　すてきなこと」 (Mitsukeyō Suteki na Koto)
“Let’s Find Wonderful Things”

Wow – that conclusion sure arrived a lot faster than I expected.

「なくしものを探しに」 (Nahkushi Mono o Sagashi ni)
“Looking for Something I Lost”

Well, whaddaya know – Little Busters is a Key adaptation after all.

「幸せのひだまりを作るのです」 (Shiawase no Hidamari o Tsukuru no desu)
“I’ll Make a Happy Sunny Spot”

When I said Maeda Jun series always have at least one moemoe character “or two” – I didn’t think I’d be proven right quite so quickly.
