I'm slightly confused. I know D.C. has been around for some time so I came with decent expectations, but so far it's just a lot of service. Is the D.C. franchise supposed to be deeper than this or is simple harem romance / service the norm? If the latter, I'll probably just move on.

Well, I just feel that the show is boring, nothing interesting at all. Still, I'll see how it continues next episode,

I have watched all 4 seasons of Da Capo and personally, I like Nemu, except in Da Capo if (where she turned overly possessive). So, my favorite is probably Da Capo SS or actually the first generation cast. Right now I'm playing the Da Capo VN just finished Sakura's, Mako, and Moe; Doing Nemu next

I can sort of blame it on the new studio but the emphasis on the boobs are just too distracting and it's destroying the anime itself because I feel like there's gonna be a harem end or something. Da Capo and boobs bouncing everywhere just doesn't fit, although since this is a completely new season or alternate timeline, this could be invalidated but still, too much excess fan service will be bad for the plot.

Lol, the ending didn't show any characters from Da Capo III but Otome

I'm pretty sure alot has already asked that "Should I see Da Capo II before Da Capo III?"
and pretty much everybody who answered the question is No.

Well, this time, its 100% NO!
For a Da Capo II, you can still watch it without watching Da Capo, but its somewhat lacking because most of Yoshino Sakura's comments is a reference to the previous Da Capo.
However, Da Capo II was basically a lot like a remake of the original series since ALL the characters had the VERY SAME characteristics as their grandparents did. So having at least a gist of what happened in the first Da Capo would be helpful. BUT, from what I've seen in the episode, its a Whole new set of characters. Even if this series were to have a few similarities with the original series, chances are, their mere coincidences. But who am I to say those things? What's most important is that the characters have now lost their connection to the original characters and are starting fresh. Now that's a sequel. (Actually, the reason I didn't like Da Capo II too much was because they were still connected to the previous characters. I'd enjoyed it more if they started fresh, or Nemu and Juunichi were still the mains but sadly their not.)

HAHAHA, I got some new information.
It would seem that Da Capo III probably isn't some years after Da Capo II. Its NOT a sequel to Da Capo II. (Probably!) It might be an alternate timeline where Junichi never chose Nemu, and chose Sakura instead. This explains why Yoshiyuki never existed

Ah what the heck, here's a spoiler tag




Took me awhile but I cleared up all my errors...

Hmm, not a bad start but doesn't set the standard very high, and the fan service is annoying enough to make me want to already drop this.

I'm pretty sure there's a decent plot in there somewhere coming from DC I & II so I'll hold on to this show.

Think I have too high of an expectation cause I'm coming from the VNs.

Just curious, but did anyone else notice that the 2 women on the news looked ALOT like Yume and Otome?


As for one, who did not play the VN I noticed that:

0.) The art has really improved since the first seasons. The backgrounds looked absolutely great.

1.)

Absolutely right.

2.) What the hell was with all the tit and ass-shots? I didn't came for the fanservice. It was really distracting...

3.) Nice to see Suginami again with his old VA.

4.) The MC's cousin really looked like Aisia and her name is Yoshino? She is obviously related to Sakura, I wonder how they are related to each other.

5.) The ending... that was really interesting though. You could see all the major things that happened under the tree, but it was drawn too small, all I could recognize was when Junichi found Nemu as a kid and Otome wishing for whathisname to come back.



Anywa, it was a good start, I hope it will keep it up.

It felt very nostalgic when the scenes are referring back to the first two seasons, especially the ending theme, I missed them so much I already want to cry.

Eternal loli Sakura is back, but sad that no Yukarin this season.
Eternal Suginami is back, not surprised.

Are young people in Japan really that fascinated by student councils and clubs? These activities are usually the least interesting part of an anime for me, and Da Capo III seems to be fucking reveling in it. The first episode opens with a tedious 7-minute scene of some girls talking their heads off about plans to compete against the unofficial newspaper. It was a wall of words that quickly became a blur. The visuals are accented with the occasional close-up of bouncing tits, and other body parts. Later, they—along with the unassuming male lead—go to a cherry blossom tree, make a wish, and then it blooms the next day.

I didn't like this start at all, but I'll give it another episode. Maybe it'll get better.

Sakura in the end is like "Ah shit, here we go again..." lol
Girls look better than ever before and tons of fanservice in the first episode. I might like this better than all the other seasons.

Hmm, the new waifus look cute, but unremarkable.

I thought the tree completely disappeared last time, or it was the other one made by Sakura during her stay in USA.

That ED sounds and looks great btw! Man, I wanna have a live wallpaper of that.
