Taking that into account, some routes like Kurugaya's, Mio's and Kud's only seem possible in the Dream World, since they involve a lot of symbolism and Mind Screw. So those wishes and desires appear to based on real events.

Or Was It a Dream?: But is that all there is to it? Taking a closer look at Kud's route implies that the rioting in her home country already took place and the shuttle already failed with her having her mother's dog tag and a half melted gear.

The events of the girl's routes appear to be based on wishes or desires of theirs.

All Just a Dream: Almost the entire story takes place in a dream world formed by the Little Busters as they lay about to die in the real world, minus Riki and Rin, with Kyousuke directing the world and Masato and Kengo acting as his subordinates to keep the plan going.For example, Komari uncovering the thoughts of her family means that her route can tell Riki what happened from the perspective of someone who didn't try to forget Komari's dead brother, and Haruka connecting to Kanata's thoughts revealed that Kanata was trying to be Cruel to Be Kind. This forms the foundation of a number of routes and provides blueprints for the 'NPCs' created after real people, like family and classmates, who appear in the dream world. As all but Riki and Rin were Only Mostly Dead, their minds connected to each other's and to those of the other people in their lives with this. Akashic Records: How the dream world works.That particular detail wasn't covered in the anime when that route was adapted. Shouldn't that be the job of the Maintenance Committee? This was explained in Haruka's route of the VN, where Kanata reveals that she had the Maintenance Committee disbanded and took on its duties on orders to take away everything that mattered to Haruka. For example, in episode 7 of EX, Kanata is shown doing maintenance work, like checking on the lawns and setting up a new bulletin board, as part of her duties on the Disciplinary Committee. Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: A few are caused by the anime.

Accidental Pervert: Riki ends up in these situations a lot, particularly in Komari's route and the Ecstasy expansion.

The new content in the English Edition includes the three routes that were included in Ecstasy alongside the original content, but with the pornographic content removed. On November 1, 2017, the Perfect Edition was released on Steam under the title Little Busters! English Edition. On October 31, 2015, VisualArts/Key announced plans to release the Updated Re-Release of Little Busters!, originally titled Little Busters! Perfect Edition, on Steam with localization work being done by Fruitbat Factory using the Fan Translation of the original Little Busters! by Team Fluffy, a fan translation group that many Fruitbat Factory staff members were a part of, being used as a basis for the official English release. The first volume and thus the first EX episode was released on the 29th of January, 2014. There are seven volumes of Refrain released in all, and one episode was released with each volume (except for the final volume, which contains the final two episodes). The adaption, entitled Little Busters EX, is composed of eight episodes.

A second season titled Little Busters! ~Refrain~ aired during the Fall 2013 Anime season, and an adaptation for Ecstasy was released as a series of OVA episodes bundled with the Refrain DVDs and Blurays. Viewers living in the USA, Canada, UK, Ireland, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Netherlands, and Scandinavia may watch the anime legally at Crunchyroll. Little Busters! finally got an anime adaptation that began airing in October 2012 and is animated by JC Staff. The characters sheet is under heavy construction here. Not to be confused with the song by the pillows that was featured in FLCL (Before reading the list of tropes, note that some of them are, in and of themselves, spoilers.) But it's Key Visual Arts, so of course there's more to it than that. Or at least, they'd like you to think that's what it is. And thus begins a laid-back and certainly not horribly depressing Dating Sim-type Visual Novel with a touch of Fighting Game, wherein you (as Riki) try to befriend the various girls, while getting into fights with the other Little Busters and several other people at your school.
