I think we’re overdue for an update on the Podcast schedule!
| Mio 2nd | Komari 9th | Kurugaya 16th |
|---|---|---|
| @Aspirety | @Aspirety | @Aspirety |
| @Bizkitdoh | @Bizkitdoh | @Bizkitdoh |
| @Zosonte | @VyseGolbez | @MagusVerborum |
| @Naoki_Saten | @SuikaShoujo | @Zosonte |
| @grooven | @cjlim2007 | @Mogaoscar |
I’d announce more but a lot of it hinges on whether or not I can get Kanon for the Haruka podcast, aha.
We’re pushing forward with Mio this weekend and gonna try and keep pace from there on out.
I am honored to be on my favorite heroine’s podcast. I will not let you or Kazamatsuri down! 
Pretty much the same as zosonte. And I’m pretty surprised that I was chosen even though I’ve been mainly absent from this bookclub so far (something that will change at around next week). But yeah, thanks and I can already foresee an amazing Kurugaya podcast with the line-up. Since Magus will probably cover the details that we might all miss, I guess I’ll focus on tearing apart the counterintuitively complex mind of Kurugaya.
Not sure how decided everything is yet, but I’d be happy to join one, even on short notice, since I’m on break right now and have no obligations. Only just got around to making a Discord, so it took me a while.
Any preferences on routes? (Especially EX)
I’d be happy with any route, though I’m not sure how much I could contribute to Kanata’s route, so I’m not too confident on that one. Maybe if I re-read it that’ll help, so I’ll do that in the meantime. This is my favourite route order (including ones that are already done), if it helps: Refrain>Saya>Mio>Haruka/Kurugaya>Sasami>Komari>Kanata>Rin2>Rin1>Kud. That said, I love even Kud’s route, being the worst route in Little Busters by no means makes it bad.
Actually, on second thought, Kanata might not be so bad. I don’t have terribly much to say on her route right now, but I do have some reflections on her character.
I’m also volunteering for Kanata’s route. Reading through Haruka right now and the new scenes are tearing me apart 
I got the general idea from the EX anime, but it will be my first time reading the route.
I would love to podcast for Saya’s route since she’s now my favorite LB character. It kinda depends on others though. I don’t want to steal a podcast spot if someone is just as enthusiastic.
Well damn, in all the excitement of just reading the VN itself and the discussion threads, I completely forgot about the podcasts. Would have loved to get in on the Kurugaya one, but I think the names there will do awesome, can’t wait to hear it.
The only other character I think I’d really be interested in talking about and contribute well with would be Haruka. It hit me the hardest of all of the routes so far, and the only other one I can really relate to significantly in terms of personal experience that I’d actually be able to speak authoritatively on.
Also been meaning to stop in and say hi on Discord for a while now, should get around to it in the next few days. Looking forward to hearing the voices behind the names.
I’m not doing dates anymore, they keep getting messed around lol.

Haruka Backup: @Zosonte
There’s a chance Kanon won’t be available for Haruka, so I want Zosonte to prepare to be a backup just in case.
As for Kud, there’s one thing I’m a little uncertain about right now that will determine the final place on that podcast, so I’ll leave that undetermined for now. I’ll update it as soon as I’m ready.
It may still be too late (hopefully not ^^), but I’d also like to express interest in being on the Kanata podcast as well. I actually think I have more thoughts on her than Haruka overall. Either way, going to be digging into her thread in the coming days.
Is it your first time reading Kanata?
I’d be up for joining in on the Saya route podcast
Indeed it is. In fact, I was not aware until yesterday that there were more episodes of the anime (past Refrain, which I had seen a long time ago before getting the VN), so all the EX stuff is completely new to me.
Guess I have some screening to do ~
Okay let’s go.

I’d also like to do a casting call for Sasami route. We don’t have enough applications, so let me know if you want in!
Also, @Exenorate are you up for the Kanata podcast buddy? We’d love to have you.
I’m always up for routes if need be ^-^
@Aspirety GIMME THAT SASAMI BOI.
I can also do Kanata because I know exactly @Exenorate’s thoughts on it and you won’t actually get him.
Reminder that we’re looking for people to join us to discuss the EX routes!
Gonna try to revise my application, cuz the one from a year and a half ago feels very inaccurate and unhelpful. I ranked which route I like the most, but that’s completely different from stories I’m actually able to talk about. Detailing what I’d want to talk about seems like the better thing to detail. Of course, I want to be on a podcast, but it’s pointless if I’m not adding anything relevant and someone else could do a better job.
Sasami: I really dislike it because the text feels more interested in responding to Internet comments about the original than to tell a new narrative. This happens in Harvest Festa too, so it seems like a bad habbit of Tonokawa’s.
Saya: This route is all about duality. You can talk forever about what the narrative is from the view of Tokido Saya and Aya, cuz they’re basically complete opposites.
Kanata: The narrative is very straightforward, so I’m mainly interested in how the narrative is enforced by tiny details like talk about food or quotes from Haruka’s route etc.
