Little Busters! producer Kohei Kawase revealed in a discussion on the 222nd episode of the Nora Inu Kyōdai no Gyōkai Jiji Hōdan (The Stray Dog Brothers' Current Business Chat) radio show that he is intending to cover the entirety of the original Little Busters! visual novel in the ongoing anime adaptation, even if 26 episodes (two quarters or cours) is not enough.

Kawase said, “Once you get to the 26th episode, you'll understand what I'm talking about. We'll leave the message you've been wishing for at the very end! Don't be doubtful, and don't create a fuss, just please relax and watch. Look forward to what happens! We'll make sure to do the route of that girl you love, I promise! When I say we'll do it all, I don't think 26 episodes will nearly be enough!”

Key, an adult game brand of Visual Art's, released the original romance adventure game for personal computers in 2007, and the game has since been ported to the PlayStation 2 and PSP platforms. The Japanese software company Prototype released the PS Vita version on March 22. The anime began airing in Japan on October 6. - via: Otacom

The news that the long-awaited adaptation of Key eroge Little Busters! is to be handled by J.C. Staff rather than the much hoped for Kyoto Animation has prompted tremendous outpourings of sweet otaku tears in Japan and beyond.

Non-fans of the original can probably be forgiven for not caring at all, but for overexcited Key fans hoping the title would be a blockbuster on par with Clannad the news has been devastating – though whether this is the result of the perceived weakness of J.C. Staff or the extreme strength of Kyoto Animation is still the subject of much anguished debate.
