D.C. II S.S., The real story of Da Capo II which makes the first season look like a filler. This is probably the last of Da Capo, and if not, this is surely the final story about Hatsunejima and its never withering Sakura Trees. A lot of things are explained here and it also shows some history. Most definitely a MUST WATCH.
The story is better than ever, but it's a little disappointing that the other things were completely left out. This is a very sad and lonely Da Capo. The undying Sakura Tree is at a most imperfect state, worse than ever before, but they can't wither it so easily just like they always did 50 years ago. It explains the existense of Sakurai, Yoshiyuki and also features his relations to Yoshino, Sakura and to his two step sisters, Oto-nee and Yume. The story is well written this time.
The art was fine. There are times when the animation is beautiful, there are times when its just okay and there are times that it looks a little bad and unnatural. Everything and everyone looked fine just like the first season, sadly, the characters are still not illustrated that well also like in the first season (they still have not so good side views), but it's not that bad, not so much of a major setback. The art still has a very good overall.
The sounds are as good as the first season. Everything blends well with the scenes with such beautiful music. The only problem here is that the OP and ED music are not that attractive. Most viewers would just skip it if they can.
The characters are the same as the first season but most of them are just background now. An unknown classmate is also featured a few seconds of air time with Wataru which felt like "eh?". Anyway, Yoshiyuki is not thickheaded anymore, but her sister Yume becomes the stubborn and irritating one this time in the early parts. Junichi is finally shown here which is great but Amakase will never be seen or heard of again, and so are the old characters.
This is now a serious show. It will only be funny on the first episode and no one will even attempt to hit Suginami anymore. Still, viewers will enjoy a fun start, a very dramatic continuation and a beautiful finish. read more

Hello everyone! Yes, I'm that girl who gave the first season of Da Capo II a 5 and bashed it! I'm very happy that I did gave the second season a chance. I'll tell you why. Enjoy my review (if you can)!
Story
What to say about the Story? Did it improved? Yes, it surely did. When I first started this I could already see that we finally get our Otome and Yume-moments, which I missed in the first season. The whole season is focussed on Otome and Yume who both seem to like their ''onii-chan'', Yoshiyuki. It's very easy to see how much Yume likes him, since we get lots of moments where she tries to be with him or blushes very hard. For Otome, it isn't really shown that she tries as hard as Yume but she hangs out with Yoshiyuki the most. Some weird accidents are happening which bothers Otome. Yoshiyuki notices this and helps her to investigate the weird accidents that happen every single day, and the weirdest thing, in none of them someone got hurt. Yoshiyuki and Otome both can use magic as well, and Otome refers herself as ''a magician of justice'' and tries to do something about the accidents. They later get involved with the Sakura Three and read that it can make your wishes come true. Ofcourse, they don't believe it, but Anzu tells them a story of a girl who made a wish to the Sakura Three, which was granted. It turns out that that girl was her. In each accident a girl with blond hair was seen by bypassers. Rara, who could it be?
Art
This might have improved a little from the first season as well. Even though there isn't alot of difference. I think the animation is well made and the characters move very naturally. The characterdesigns are good as well, I really like everyone's appearance!
Sound
Ah, the sound, the music... It's not the most special, but I DO like it. The opening-theme, Sakura Amaneku Sekai is sung by yozuca. I really like the background-music of the song and the singing isn't bad at all! It's nice to listen to it before the episode begins. Then, what about the ending-theme? It's Bokutachi no Yukue, sung by CooRie. Probably my favourite song from Da Capo II Second Season! I really like the calm feeling it gives you. For the background-music in the episodes, I think I heard it when it was needed. They do not over-use sounds but it's worth a 8.
Character
Improved! For sure. I'm kinda glad to see that Minatsu isn't in this season, one of the reasons I like this much more. Everyone else is still there, but I'm happy that Koko's role in the series isn't a main one anymore! The three main characters of this season are Yoshiyuki and the Asakura-sisters, Yume and Otome. I'm very glad that I got to see more of both of them, since their part in the first season was just a supporting part. I think they saved everything for the second season! I think that Yoshiyuki will pick one of them (Yume or Otome) at the end of this season, it's unclear for me who it will be. I personally hope that it will be Otome, because I don't really like Yume, she reminds me too much of Nemu (which I didn't like as well). But that's just my personal opinion, everyone can hope whatever they want!
Enjoyment
Enjoyment... well, I do enjoy this! If you want a very ''special, or something like that'' anime, then this isn't something for you. Even the second season doesn't have something that makes it stand out, but still, it's enjoyable to watch! I don't know why, even though it isn't special, the second season does have some kind of feeling when you watch it. This is great in days that you have nothing to do or just want to watch something!
Overall
Well, I LIKE following this and watching the episodes. This really surprised me when I look back at the first season again, which was just too boring. I might could have even skipped the first season, but hey, just watch it to say that you did. If you dropped the first season and haven't started on this one for that reason, or you did finish it and hated it, give the second season a chance! It's much better and you might, just as me, enjoy this one. I wouldn't hurt you to just try watching it, right? Especially the people who missed Otome and Yume SHOULD watch this!
Is this really the same girl who wrote the review about the first season? Yep, it's me! I hope you liked this one, and I ment what I wrote, I'm not gonna lie in my reviews. Thank you for reading my review! read more

They're both harems with a touch of supernatural and the main characters are just lovable assholes. The greatest similarity between them are the opening scenes, where "a certain character" talks about their dreams. If you liked Da Capo II Second Season, I would totally recommend Kanon 2006 since it is basically better in every way. (Ex: character development, animation style, story telling, etc)
both are harems with a supernatural element and no ecchi plus the main guy isn't as stupid as most harem leads are. so basically they are both one of the few good harem anime

Both are harem with anime with a robot girl in it. Da Capo is much better though
