| According to the official website, the cast of Little Busters! anime was announced. The seiyu of the protagonist Naoe Riki hasn't been revealed yet. Although some of the cast appear differently from what was credited in the original game, they are the same seiyu with different stage names. An interview with one of the staff of the production studio will be published in Dengeki Visual Arts magazine to be released on April 10th. Cast Natsume Rin: Tamiyasu Tomoe Natsume Kyosuke: Midorikawa Hikaru Inohara Masato: Canna Nobutoshi Miyazawa Kengo: Oda Yusei Kamikita Komari: Yanase Natsumi Saigusa Haruka: Suzuki Keiko Nomi Kudrjavka: Wakabayashi Naomi Kurugaya Yuiko: Tanaka Ryoko Nishizono Mio: Kawaragi Shiho According to the web column on Akiba Blog, the President of Visual Arts said he was surprised by the leak but hasn't got mad at Dengeki. He felt sorry that the staff of Dengeki were flurried to see the "idiot" message on the twitter icon of the President. He said the turmoil over the leak has made no harm to him, rather promoted the TV anime well. Sources: Little Busters anime official website, Akiba Blog |

| They're keeping the game cast. It's a good sign. |
| Same seiyuus is a massive win. Wonder why Saya (who was in the PV) Sasami and Kanata aren't listed though... |
 |
| I am guessing this is going to be the new Clannad. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |

I don't think they confirmed the EX routes were covered either besides the glimpse of Saya in the trailer. My guess is they will go for the same actors for Sasami or Kanata since they're already well-involved in the original stories.Same seiyuus is a massive win. Wonder why Saya (who was in the PV) Sasami and Kanata aren't listed though... |
 |
| I see Lancer's seiyuu and Lancer's seiyuu. |
Use your brain before using your keyboard!  |
| Oh, thanks god, Kyousuke and Rin just CAN'T have other seiyuus! Now I wonder who will be Riki's VA, and which animation studio is making it... Argh, 5 days left. |

Leon-Gun said: I don't think they confirmed the EX routes were covered either besides the glimpse of Saya in the trailer. The fact that Saya only appears in EX should be enough confirmation that content from EX will be animated. |
|
| Hmm...interesting |
 |
| NotBad.Jpg. Now the studio.. |

| > wouldn't it make sense to have Riki's voice be the same seiyuu from the VN too? He had partial voice acting in VN so it would be the best choice |
 |
| He didn't sound very good imo and it would be a lot of work for the seiyuu, so I actually hope they will change that one. |
| Man, I was praying that all the voice actors would stay the same. Seems like my prayers were answered. \o/ |
| Nice... I hope they make it ad good as Clannad... |

This needs to run for 2 seasons of 24 eps each otherwise there's not enough room for content The VA of Riki also voiced Rin Natsume. Now wouldn't that be a little awkward..... |
  |
| Same cast = great. Now... tell me it's P.A. Works. |

Their voices are distinctly different, how would it be awkward? Plus if Sasami is in it (which she should be) and assuming she keeps the same seiyuu (which would be preferential) she would also have the same seiyuu as Rin. |
|
| Excellent. But will Sasami's voice change? That'll be weird, but at the same time I can't really see them using the same VA for two characters. Studio revealed on April 10th, huh? I've kind of given up all hope on it being KyoAni. ;_; |
the Imaginary and the Real can never mingle. |
| must be this the reason why my bbs source was pulled out... they got the cast info first before it reaches degenki. |
| I'm glad that they kept the original voice actors, but Komarimax will make me want to stab my eardrums with knitting needles. |
| Thats good news I had no problem with the cast from the VN to begin with. |
 |
mitch3315 said: Because she would be having a large majority of conversations with herself. Rin and Riki are the main protagonists. It's fine for Rin and Sasami to share an actress, Sasami is a side-character (except on her EX route but that was added later) so that is fine but between RIn and Riki she would have an staggering amount of dialogue to record. That is just overworking. In the VN it was probably not as big a deal since Riki was only voiced in the mini-games and in part of Refrain which is probably not even 1/5 of his dialogue in total.Obstinate said: sora1607 said: Considering how the original cast is going to be in the anime, wouldn't it make sense to have Riki's voice be the same seiyuu from the VN too?

| Yes, this is great news. As for Riki, I wouldn't mind a different seiyuu, since I wasn't really a fan of his overly female voice. nextday said: The animation studio will be revealed (with an interview) on April 10th in the Dengeki VisualArts magazine. Eventhough we all now it won't be KyoAni, I'm still kinda hoping for a miracle. If it's not them, it better be PA Works. I think they would be the only ones able to do an equally amazing job as KyoAni did with the previous Key works. |
| rumors in BBS says it will be P.A. works... with a different seiyuu for riki. again this are rumors i've found in that BBS... not necessarily true! |
| I'm glad the original cast is here kind of like what they did with Mashiroiro Symphony and Shukufuku no Campanella. |
 |
| Great, same seiyuus. My question is who will voice Riki though. It seems Tamiyasu Tomoe won't voice Riki again. |
| Very Great. Now, let the studio to be P.A or KyoAni and I'll be a happy boy for a year... Ah, and a faithful 2 cour season plus 1 cour season for Refrain would made me happy for all eternity, I guess... |
| gotta change mah pantsss |
 |
| i have to say there's a lot a main characters |
Mr_Gutts said: i have to say there's a lot a main characters Assuming they animate EX (which they should, since Saya was in the PV) there are four characters not listed, the MC Riki Naoe, Sasami Sasasegawa, Kanata Futaki, and Saya Tokido. Riki and Sasami both share the same seiyuu as Rin in the VNs, so it will be interesting to see if she voices all three here as well. |
|
| the only time you can hear Riki's voice in VN is during practice and fights, so even if his voice will be changed it won't be a big deal, meaby they still don't know who should voice him so he isn't on the list... well I really glad that others are not changed as everyone (for me atleast) fit their role. BTW who do you think should be Seiyuu?? |
| Alright, this is looking better and better! I'm relieved to hear that I won't have to get used to a different voice for anyone (except for possibly Riki). |
   |
| Awesome news! |

Little buster's VN was better than clannad, both anime and VN, it was quite popular and it still is, kind of...lol Ah well... I am Clannad fan so nothing will be as good as it. Also there are other reasons I like Clannad, not just story... |
|
| Great new and Clannad AS is already #1 of my top anime, and IMO Little Busters > Clannad, so I really hope they will make it as awesome as the original. |

BTW who do you think should be Seiyuu?? And if we're going to be very specific there's only three main characters: Naoe Riki, Natsume Rin and Natsume Kyousuke. The rest of the characters mentioned are important support characters. The ones yet to be mentioned are either regular support characters (Kanata, Sasami) or EX-only characters (Saya). Of course, that's if they go with the canon pairing (although regardless of the pairing chosen Natsume Rin will always be a main character). |

| I'm really glad they're keeping the original cast, now just I'm hoping that this'll get 2 seasons like Clannad did |
