All in all, I found it a waste of time, despite my enthusiasm for Da Capo going into the series.

This is something i personally disagree with.

Spoiler for DCSS:

While the story indeed does continue the story of Junichi and Nemu, it is no longer the sole focal point. It is more about the rest coming to terms with unrequited love and having to move on, and Aisia's case - to learn that magic can not fix everything in the world and happiness can not be obtained by "cheating" the reality. It is about Aisia's journey to maturity as much as it is about Nemu and Junichi, and i certainly believe her being capable of carrying the part of the show intended for her. The conclusion is true to the lesson of the series and a fully satisfying one, and the journey to get there was no worse than first season.

I see nothing in DCSS that would make it any worse than the first season. One can even argue it doesn't have the very long and "pointless" comedy setup in the first half, which is something a lot of people dislike in the first season. Overall it delivered a solid story and a decent continuation with a satisfying conclusion and a message, so i don't see much of a problem with it.
