\nFrom episode 15 of Little Busters, though I gather it frequently appears as a makeshift table in prior episodes. I think the fact that the show has been airing for over three months now and the first that I’d actually heard about it was when I spotted it in a random picture in my Twitter feed this morning probably speaks volume about this show. Well, at least speaks volumes about how few damns people give about it.<\/p>\n

The show did just get picked up on Crunchyroll, who’ve decided to start at the half-way point and run catch-up on the earlier episodes at a later date. Arguments about rewarding piracy and penalizing the law-abiding aside, I would like to praise it as being a rare example of realistic thinking within this industry – as far as these things go, the people who’d be willing to start the show at the beginning at this point will still likely be willing to do so some weeks or months from now, but those who’re watching the show in “realtime”… not so much. In a world where things don’t magically translate themselves, it’s the logical move if you want people to actually watch your stream instead of choosing alternative methods.<\/p>\n

But… yeah, no-one seems to particularly give a damn about Little Busters anyway. At least the OP and ED are catchy, I guess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
