Little Busters!: EX English Sub & Dub

About Little Busters!: EX

Here is what Little Busters!: EX (リトルバスターズ！EX) is about, retold in plain terms: a comedy, drama and romance anime by J.C.STAFF (2014). At its core: Does the new girl in Riki Naoe's life need his help, or is she actually trying to kill him? After a chance encounter on a rooftop brings the enigmatic Saya Tokido into the Little Busters' world, the only thing that's certain is that trouble is sure to follow.

Next up: Riki now has to also untangle a web of new mysteries that seem to be rooted in his own personal past! Who are the Dark Executives, why do they want to keep Saya and Riki apart, and what is the nature of the hidden treasure that Saya seeks? Sometimes, answers lead to even more questions in LITTLE BUSTERS! EX!

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Riki Naoe (Yui Horie) and Komari Kamikita (Natsumi Yanase) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who want something light between heavier series. With 8 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
