Riki cannot change the mind of a rich and ancient noble family. There is no tension here, just conflicting noise. Saigusa: “Poor me! I’ve got issues in the background but I’m too ashamed to bring them out! I guess I’ll piss off my twin again! HEE HEE” Her twin: “I”M A DICK so I’m going to be soooo harsh on you! I’m a dick!” Then suspends her for a minor infraction, using infractions they’ve already punished her for as reasons. Saigusa: “I’m doing something crazy, innocently or maliciously!” Every time a situation shows up, this goes down. They wasted a perfectly good plot (Familial abuse and an insane desire to be the best) by shoving it in my face and rubbing it in. The characters are completely uninteresting to me. AND apparently even though they are twins and theoretically from the same egg, the sperm can be so different they can tell fathers. Apparently a woman can get double pregnant with twins if two men have sex with her within a certain time period. But that doesn’t excuse the pink haired disciplinary (where’s the principle?) committee leader from being a DICK. I understand that shame culture is still alive and well in Japan and it is completely different from western society. Episode seventeen and I cannot say he’s grown as a character? That’s not satisfying at all. Key, Yuicchi started his arc by episode six, Tomoya (clannad) started episode ONE. Either way he’s still more or less one-dimensional by the 17th episode. As soon as anyone shows up, he acquiesces. This isn’t an Evangelion ‘cry-baby-depressed’ thing, it is a choice he makes not to manipulate reality.
Riki fails as a lead because he is not in control. Sure, he acts pretty quickly, but sometimes he causes as many problems as he fixes. He’s not likeable, sarcastic or anything else that really makes him dynamic. Now for a second gripe of magnitude, I never connected with the main character, Riki. In Episode 15 they do so much fetishistic stuff I thought I had accidentally downloaded a hentai Little Busters. Every character could be ponies and nothing would substantially change! That’s right, Little Busters used the magic of friendship to superficially fix a girl’s deep emotional issue. Wow.Īt least My Little Pony characters used friendship to forcibly realign a personality, so it was like they never had psychotics in the first place. HER DEEP PSYCHOSIS WILL NEVER BE SOLVED AS FAR AS THE SHOW GOES. He’s being set up with Kyousuke’s sister. I’m told that he solves her problem if he chooses her as a romantic partner but he isn’t choosing her. They could have had a couple more episodes where she realized her friends were friends forever and she deals with her fears of death. Riki then wrote a picture book himself after an all-nighter and it solved her problems. Komari saw a dead cat, freaked out, while Riki searched out an old acquaintance (provided for him by something Kyousuke wanted to do) who wrote a picture book. Remember, by now we are attached to Makoto, and we’re feeling tension and distress. When she started degrading (what I’m calling it), Yuicchi searched for help and did everything he could.
#Little busters rin character traits full
Not even full episodes.ĭue to similar themes of death and ‘otherness’ Makoto arc still serves as an example. Suddenly seeing something dead then spending the rest of the arc in a waking coma isn’t. I recall it took 6-9 episodes of Kanon before Makoto started getting serious, and even then they spent time developing the character up to her tearful disappearance. It’s just that the characters do not have enough time for me to really connect with them. It’s not even that it’s bad stuff they’re throwing at us. I felt actual non-fear non-anger emotions for the first time here. Now in his second year of high school they still hang out, fight and live together, and enjoy their school life.This is Makoto during the single most dramatic scene in the first ten episodes. He really enjoyed being together with them, and his grief gradually faded away.
They took Riki out and played with him during his time of need. What saved him was a group of four kids calling themselves the Little Busters. Riki was a child when his parents died, leaving him hopeless and depressed.
