Introduction
The undying Sakura Trees return. Based on a PS2 sequel of the original DaCapo game, the story once again takes place on Hatsunejima, but is set 53 years after the events of D.C. and D.C.S.S.. Although some characters will probably look a bit familiar to the initiated eye, the cast is a new one. The new main protagonist is Yoshiyuki Sakurai, who lives next door to the Asakura sisters Yume and Otome, who are the granddaughters of Junichi and Nemu from the first season.

Da Capo II is a new story set fifty years after the original Da Capo with a portion of the characters being decedents of the original cast. However, the entire plot line diverges from the dramatic tension and magic that defined the original series so well.
This series is actually more similar to Chobits and True Heart ~Memories in terms of themes than the original Da Capo. After a few episodes dealing with a weak relationship, the main plot focuses on the Robot/human/feelings issue. So if you're looking for intense love triangles, either look elsewhere or wade through this quickly to get to the sequel.
Animation:
The animation is actually very nice. The characters are well proportioned and colors are nicely set. The descendants actually look quite similar to their respective equivalent i…

Story-7
Unlike its predecessors, Da Capo II mostly ties the main plot and sub plot. The big idea in this series, xenophobia to robots, was introduced echoing the last two series about bananas. Surprisingly the relationship between the protagonist and Koko was established quickly. Their obstacles in their relationship was fairly predictable, being too nice and general insensitivity from the classic protagonist. The story progressed much faster as a 13 episode series which was great because the three characters (Yoshiyuki, Koko, and Minatasu) were fairly fleshed out.
Art-7
There was nothing outstanding from the art (except the nice animation of ripping the world domination notebook) but it was still nice.
Sound-7
Instead of Kotori singing we have Nanaka. I actually enjoyed the singing par…

This is a new Da Capo with an entirely different storyline. I was expecting the least of it since it has a low rating and watching it at first got me confused and disappointed because it was something completely different from the previous ones, but, it turns out great. People must have taken this series the wrong way because it is actually quite good. I've watched it while expecting and searching for disappointments, but the only flaw to it is that it has two main stories which is basically wrong. The stories are great and they indeed, are able to switch between the two like it was dante's weapons in devil may cry 3, but as what everyone learned since elementary, there should ALWAYS be ONLY ONE main topic because it's very hard to talk about two things at the same time. "EF - A Tale of Me…

If I were to choose just one word to describe this anime, it would be "pleasant." The episodes literally fly by, they're very easy to watch and easily enjoyable. As someone who's new to the Da Capo franchise, I still enjoyed it very much, so if you've never seen any of the previous installments, do not let this discourage you. The series can be enjoyed as a stand-alone experience, at least I did. This review will be spoiler-free.
The Story: 6
To be fair, the story is not the strongest point of the series, but it's certainly nothing to frown at. The plot progresses at a comfortable pace, and it is a heartwarming tale for the most part. Some events are a bit predictable, but it's never boring, and it doesn't drag on. If you're looking for an epic tale, look elsewhere, but for a harem, it's…

A sequel to a successful franchise, Da Capo II takes us to the journey of one Yoshiyuki Sakurai and his harem. Veterans of the original Da Capo will see some distinct similarities concerning the overall plot and the characters that make up the world of DCII.
As previously stated, the anime of DCII is severely lacking compared to its predecessors. It's not that the story itself is lacking, but due to a 26 episode series being abruptly split in half to two 13 episode seasons.
I find it hard to review an incomplete story such as DCII but I don't want current and future viewers to get the wrong idea. To those who have watched this series, you must definitely watch season two or you will have wasted your time. To future viewers, take into consideration that there is a continuation to the ta…

Story: The weakest area of DC II. The story really has no backbone. There is some character development. But from what I have watched so far, nothing has changed at all! In nine episodes there has only been roughly 2 solid events: Koko's confession and the trip.
Art: Based off a visual novel just like the previous two seasons, there is not much you can really say about the art work, except its well-drawn. Not that there are any significant differences in style.
Sound: I was pleased with the songs in this season. I enjoyed the OP and ED song alot, as well as a few insert songs. The OST is exceptional so far, and I hope I'll be able to get my hands on it soon.
Character: Not much of a difference between the casts of the First Da Capo and this one. Yes, they very much resemble their ancest…
