Little Busters! Key Visual and Character Designs Revealed

ASCII Media Works' September issue of Dengeki G's Magazine has revealed a key visual and several character from the upcoming anime adaptation of Key's hit visual novel Little Busters!.
Also of note is that the magazine neither confirms nor denies a release date. Since the initial confirmation that an adaptation was in the works many fans have speculated that it would be released in October 2012. The usual announcement-development-release timeline of most anime certainly makes that date seem likely, but at this point in time no official announcement has been made concerning a release date.
J.C. Staff is producing the upcoming Little Busters! anime adaptation with Yoshiki Yamakawa (Baby, Please Kill Me!) as the director. Michiru Shimada (Jewelpet Twinkle, Shugo Chara!) is the head scriptwriter with Haruko Iizua (Inu x Boku SS) in charge of character designs.
