Though it was on their Facebook page for all of a second yesterday, Sentai Filmworks has followed through with the release of the English language dub cast for Little Busters!, which is set to release on DVD and Blu-ray on November 19th. The series had a two season run previously and it’s now spawned a follow-up season that’s currently simulcasting and a new short run seaosn that will follow that in early 2014. Which certainly gives the team here plenty to look forward too if this release does well enough and Sentai Filmworks picks up the rest. Check out the full breakdown below:

Plot concept: When tragedy struck Riki Naoe as a child, he was rescued from grief over his parent’s deaths when four other kids “recruited” him for their group, the “Little Busters.” Now in high school, Riki and the other Busters are still fast friends, and though their vision of being heroes for justice may have faded, they’d still do anything for each other – which is why Riki is now on TWO special missions.
The not-so-secret one: recruiting new members so the Busters can form a baseball team. Preferably female recruits, as the current dude/babe ratio is an inconvenient 4 to 1. The other mission, though, that’s the strange one. Riki and Rin, the group’s singular girl, are receiving odd messages delivered by cats concerning the existence of a “secret world” and assigning them tasks they have to complete. Were their youthful dreams of being crusaders not so fanciful after all? Or is there something even more vital at stake?
