Synopsis

Hatsune-Jima was once well-known for its cherry trees, which would bloom no matter what time of year it was. Two years ago, the island's cherry trees lost this ability and all became ordinary cherry trees that bloom only in the spring. Jun'ichi Asakura is now a graduating senior at Kazami Academy, and is surrounded by many close friends, old and new alike. On a stormy summer day, a mysterious young girl, Aisia, arrives at Jun'ichi's door. She is looking for Sakura's grandmother to study magic, ultimately hoping to bring happiness to everyone. When she discovers that grandmother Yoshino had long since passed away, she joyfully assumes (thanks to his error in judgment) that Jun'ichi is able to teach her. Even though she finally understands that the only magic he's capable of is conjuring Japanese confections, Aisia continues her search for magic on Hatsune-Jima. Amid the chaos of her search, Kazami Academy hires new medical staff.

D.C.S.S. is a fairly interesting sequel which introduces many new characters and features a roller coaster of a plot sequence. It tells a story of what happens two years after D.C when a young magician named Aisia goes to the island in search of Jun'ichi's grandmother. The series won't make sense unless you watched D.C. but unfortunately it also isn't as good.

Animation:
The animation is done slightly better than the original with Jun'ichi getting a complete makeover, which bothered me at first but I eventually got used to it.

Sound:
The OP/first ED were fairly average and I didn't really like the second ED. Expect the same BGM ... quality from the first series but with a lot of insert songs. Kotori gets a longer role so expect more Yoi Horie. Voice actors carry over from the first series and there are a lot of new voices with the addition of a lot of new cast.

Story:
While in D.C. you have a plot which continuously gets more intricate until you hit a climax, D.C.S.S. showcases two peaks, one very early on when Nemu returns and the second one right before the end.

Basically, Nemu left after the end of D.C. to study to become a nurse, leaving Jun'ichi all alone. Thus, the other girls of D.C. work together to form a "support unit" to make sure he is well without Nemu, with Kotori taking the lead. Nemu's absence was very glaring and I welcomed her eventual return. But then, plot twist! You'll find yourself with many of these in the show.

Many episodes are dedicated to introducing the new characters, especially Aisia, and her desire to "make everyone happy". There is a lot of foreshadow as to what is going to happen near the end and the path to the end is pretty linear. As for the conclusion, it was nice but the climax and falling action seemed needlessly crunched into only a few short episodes, which I found quite disappointing. I also found a few plot holes which confounded me, such as the fact that Yoshiko's master, who was confined to her room for the first series, suddenly appears outdoors and gives Aisia advice.

Character:
One of the faults IMO in this series is the fact that there are several new side characters in addition to Aisia who all seem to happen to like Jun'ichi and don't really contribute to the plot sequence. The only real point was to show how unrealistically popular Jun'ichi is.

Aisia is also as idealistic as they come, unnaturally so considering her age. She constantly seems to believe that magic exists as a way to make things easier in sharp contrast with Sakura's belief that magic is a shortcut that should be avoided if possible do to unforeseen side effects. She seems overly blithe in her day to day life and use of magic and in the end decides to make choices for others when it is not her place. She is a character to hate and I still harbor a strong distaste for her character.

The main characters from the first series return and play important roles. They have all come to recognize and accept Jun'ichi's relationship with his sister. However, Nemu and Juni'chi's relationship always seemed to be lackluster in comparison with the first series. Also, Sakura gets a much more positive role in this series. While she was the cause of Nemu's suffering and all in the first series, she now serves as the guide, trying to direct Aisia in the proper direction.

Value:
This is an interesting addition to D.C. but unlike the first series, it doesn't stand on it's own. If you didn't like the first series, don't watch this. However, if you liked the first series, watch this with lower expectation. It was still a decent watch nonetheless.

Story-6
The sequel's story could have been much better than the first one. The first couple of episodes put a mysterious girl into Junichi's household and were interesting. Once her arc was completed, the standard development for each new character introduced started. The introduction of a familiar face mid way through the series was a nice refresher and tensions arose. However what the story suffered was a rehash of the prequel. The final arc was well introduced, the reasons were understandable but why use the same plot device? It is an echo to the first season but once it started the viewers knew the solution.

Art-7
Considerably better ...
