News Round-Up: Little Busters!

You ever start out apathetic to a certain series until the energies by its fandom actually make you interested in said series? That's me and Little Busters!, a series I've been off and on reporting on since it was revealed the Key visual novel would finally get an anime adaptation. Its fans has made me keenly interested in this upcoming anime, which is why I felt obligated to bring more LB related news to this blog.

As of yet, no NA-based company has made any major moves to license Little Busters! for commercial or streaming release. However, I would not be surprised if Crunchyroll eventually decided to simulcast this series for its next season of series.

• ANN: The Little Busters anime has been scheduled to premiere October 6 of this year on several stations, including TV Kanagawa and TV Aichi. 
• ANN: Official art and character designs have been posted online, scanned from an anime magazine. The character designs look very nice; I especially like Komari and Yukio.
• AnimeNation News: A trailer for Little Busters! is now up, courtesy of J.C. Staff, and is currently available to watch on YouTube. It looks absolutely wonderful.
• MAL/Key: The voice acting cast of Little Busters! was announced, although it seems it was more leaked than anything else. For those who played the visual novel, the cast for the anime should be very familiar.
