| Rikka: "I love you now, as my present self. So, what about you?" Rikka: "Hey, Kiyotaka, Let's kiss?" -Rikka slightly opens her mouth and approachs from Kiyotaka's lips waiting for his response. Kiyotaka: "--------------------" -> I guess this is a "no"...? -Rikka departs realizing Kiyotaka's no reaction. Rikka: "Next time I want you to ask me, Kiyotaka" -> I guess Rikka will still wait for a long time. Hehe... These harem protagonists... hehe... always insensitive and blind with the girls feelings..... Who naturally dont gets bothered by it..? =/ |

| This is the shittiest da capo. Every episodea were cliche that full of fanservice. The male mc was bland as fvck The girls were so stereotype, we don't even know why some of the girls were in love with mc 1/10 |
| I've watched all Da Capo about 3 years ago(before Da Capo 3 came out). And after it aired 2 years ago, I've finally finished Da Capo 3 :) Kohailicious said: So after playing the Da Capo II Visual Novel..... I kinda pieced out the end scene of Da Capo III, and how it is related to the thingy majiggy ending of Sakura's arc in the VN. Kinda. Her behavior throughout DC III was all no memory of things blah blah blah, but due to saving the protagonist of DC II she sacrificed her memory and stuff. And the epilogue of Sakura's arc is basically the same as when Ricca Greenwood and Kiyotaka something (Their last names are different compared to their Kazami counterparts since they're in London in some past life) talk to Sakura holding the twig. And this is where the Da Capo part comes in (I think). Since Da Capo III is only 20 years after the events of Da Capo III, it seems a little off for Rikka and Kiyotaka to be married I believe two generations before, when their ancestors met Sakura twenty years in the past. Just my thoughts... I have no clue if this makes sense, and I apologize for any headaches that occur from trying to read and understand this. SamuraiBlue19 said: The way that I pieced it together (having never played any of the visual novels) is that Rikka and Kiyotaka are actually Sakura's grandparents in the original timeline. Rikka was grandma Yoshino, who was considered one of the most powerful mages, and is also the one who planted the tree. Her surname became Yoshino because she married Kiyotaka. Kiyotaka passed away before meeting Sakura, however, Grandma Yoshino was still alive to take care of her. Ruru-nee is also the grandma of Aisia, who was said to be good friends with grandma Yoshino. Which would validate Aisia's sudden appearance in DC SS. Whether I'm right or wrong, I'm pretty satisfied with this interpretation and it made this season much more worthwhile than it might've been otherwise. Anythings possible in Da Capo though, tbh, because of its "Da Capo/magic" theme. Thank you for the posts. I was confused about the ending where Kiyotaka and Ricca met with the short haired Sakura but after reading your posts and doing some searching, it makes sense to me. Here're my assumptions, maybe VN players can confirm 1. The last scene shows where Kiyotaka and Ricca in previous life, in the VN it's called London Chapter. A chapter where the magic academy exists in London. 2. In London Chapter, the main characters from da capo 3 exist there. But I don't understand why the short haired Sakura exists there, maybe VN players can tell more. 3. Ricca was Sakura's grandmother. She was the one who planted the giant sakura tree with Kiyotaka and taught Junichi(the first hero of da capo) how to make manju using magic. 4. Charles was Aisia's grandmother. She was friend with Ricca in previous life. --------------------- Though I still dont understand these things: 1. Who is the older Sakura that can make manju at the last episode? As far as I remember Sakura never makes manju. At last Sakura grows up, so it's good I think. She said that she's other Sakura, is she from parallel world or something? 2. Kiyotaka's last name is Yoshino. So he's related to Sakura right? Charles' last name is also Yoshino, but she was a friend to grandma Yoshino(Ricca) in previous life. This makes me confused.. also I don't remember when Aisia came, her grandma was still living or not.. --------------------- Seeing how the story wraps up, maybe this da capo will be the last. I don't agree that people saying this Da Capo does not have story, I think this Da Capo has most of the story between the three. Da Capo 1 and Da Capo 2 acts as story foundation and Da Capo 3 acts as the story finisher. I'm also interested in the robots story, too bad in Da Capo 3 we don't see new robot generation like in other two Da Capo (Miharu and Amakase). Seeing that Circus can't employ Tamura Yukari, and the season is only 13 episodes, it seems that they don't have that much budget anymore. I don't like playing VN, but maybe someday I'll play all of them to know the full story. |

| Hmmm... I just randomly found myself looking at this again as i was digging through things i'd seen, and realized how MAL rated this, and how the people watching it seemed to not be on top of this at all. Whenever i watched Da Capo, i watched all of it from front to back. This season did a really good job of tying up the loose ends of the previous series as well as showing a quaint evolution of aspects relevant to the story, and more modern intellectual perspectives on relevant things. The Da Capo universe has a really neat meta story as it passes through the generations and eventually solving the recurring issue of the wishing tree. This is pretty badly underrated, as with it's limited western market recognition and the crowd it attracts aren't usually the deep thinker types. This show isn't quite as profound, and philosophical as say Clannad, but it does have it's values as well. |

Da Capo is really great series, VN is probably even more amazing. I really loved DC I and DC II. But unfortunately DC III is a massive disappointment. Yes, it clears up few things, but in general it's just supersuper bad. Tons of totally unnecessary fanservice (no, I'm not a one of these people who are complaining about fanservice in every anime, I usually don't mind it or sometimes I even enjoy it), it's not suits Da Capo at all, bland characters, lame ending (final shipping, or rather no shipping at all), art was MUCH worse than in pervious Da Capo series, direction was just awful. As I said I really loved pervious series, I expected that DC III would be even better as last anime of this universe... I just can't rate it more than 5/10, even if I love this universe. |

rsc-pl said: I'm not a DC fan or anything... this season's predecessors had more depth and such, but i didn't find these characters to be any more shallow. Even the old series had fairly standard archetypes (of the previous decade) with the usual few tweaks here and there. This series just had a very modern taste to it, like a remake kind of flavour, not to fresh but nice and shiny. I found DCIII to be less slow, and a bit more lively. And by modern perspective, i just mean a lot more introduction of progressive culture, like that philosophical logic (bringing awareness to logical fallacies and the limit of scientific theory) discussion in class during ep 5... Plus the hat tip to things in manga happening in real life: i know i'm definitely a witness to getting a taste of coincidental manga/anime-like atmospheres occasionally in real life.But unfortunately DC III is a massive disappointment. Yes, it clears up few things, but in general it's just supersuper bad. Tons of totally unnecessary fanservice (no, I'm not a one of these people who are complaining about fanservice in every anime, I usually don't mind it or sometimes I even enjoy it), it's not suits Da Capo at all, bland characters, lame ending (final shipping, or rather no shipping at all), art was MUCH worse than in pervious Da Capo series, direction was just awful. It was a bit brief, they could have done the series justice had they made it 2 cour. I'd given this an 8 because of the tie ups and comfortable atmosphere, plus i always like when i see non-institutionalized forward thinking portrayed in fiction... |

| Back to usual harem antics, MC picked harem route. Sakura from a different timeline appeared. Overall, nothing really happened and there was no plot other than "plot" on 3 of the girls. Even though I'm one for delicious fanservice, this is a 5/10. Technically this can be treated as a skip. Unlikely that there will be a DC III SS... And since the VN is now localized in english and uncensored, time to dive in there. |

| A fine ending I guess, nothing too exciting here. So that was da capo, I watched all the seasons without a break. Was quite a ride. First seasons was quite bland, second season started off nicely and then went the generic harem route again. Season 3 had imo the best art and the best characters, which makes it the best season imo. Protagonist was still an indecisive little sh*t, but I'm already used to that. 6/10 |
