Amazing! We haven't even seen Refrain yet! I wonder, will EX be on AT-X? I sure hope so...

I'm torn about this.
On one hand, I loved LB!, and I will enjoy the hell out of Refrain, so more of it, especially EX is welcomed.
On the other hand, while I know I'm wrong, more LB adaptations might mean more time until the inevitable ReWrite anime.

w00t! I love anything Key and anything LB. Though, there's at least one typo in the article write up.

Last 'paragraph':

"Howver, the organizers emphasized that the second part, "KSL Live 2013," would go on as planned, despite being held in Tokyo's Ariake ward right near Tokyo Bay."

Hint: it's the first word. lol.

Glad to get confirmation that Saya and Salami (and Futaki I guess) will get their routes adapted into some from of anime. Who knows if the fan-translation for EX will ever come about after all.

Kinda figured that they would be doing OVAs if they highlighted those characters(kinda like Clannad did with the Tomoyo & Kyou endings).

But looks like there's enough material that this is the first Key anime to get 3 seasons.

Wow. I really didn't expect that, but three animated routes of EX in one season is really good thing. And if creators suddenly take and animate even Kud Wafter - it would be cool, really.

And Rewrite felt like it was written to BE an anime too. Mixed feelings here as well.

KyoAni doesn't seem to be that willing to do KEY visual novels at the moment, but that doesn't mean their only option left is J.C. Staff. Assuming they get a better director, I'd be interested in watching ReWrite by A-1 Pictures.

I would have never expected this! I always thought that EX will go as far as some OAVs or such.
Part of Kanata's route has already shown in the first season, though.

I hope JC will increase the quality of the animation and visuals. Honestly the first season quality reminded me of early 2000 anime.

Anyway, it's good enough to hear that EX is green-lit.

Refrain will premiere in Oct 5th. I assume that EX will premiere in Oct 4th next year.

I kinda hope these will be OVAs or something, because it seems strange for them to be aired after Refrain. I haven't played LB yet, but from what I've heard, Refrain is to Little Busters what After Story was to Clannad - is this right?

That's right. And yes, these EX stories need to be viewed after Refrain.
