Da Capo

[Maceart]

dude... suginami is the epitome of mankind.

every word he speaks is listened too...(too bad he doesn't say a lot)

he deserves a girl...maybe mako!

Just out of curiousity.....but do people usually tend to confuse the term of Robot with Android?
Because to my understand Robots just doing various things accordingly to their programming, but as for Android, they are capable of thinking and make decissions themselves........

Anyone mind to putting in some comments as well.....?

[Itlandm]

I remember the time when "android" was a commonly used word in science fiction. I think people have mostly given up now, and call all robots robots. Blame Asimov and his "I, robot".

Back on the topic of Da Capo, I like Mako and think she would have been a great match for our hero if he had just taken a second look. Oh well. She's the kind of girl which remains just friends in real life too.

Anyone found the end of ep 14 kinda... weird... (well, isn't the whole series that way, you might say?) Moe tries to touch this (unknowingly) poisonous octopus on the beach when a fisherman kills it. Then she gets out an inflatable boat and aimlessly heads out into the ocean, looking depressed. I thought this was the beginning of a subplot of Moe being lost out in the ocean or something but next episode, Moe's all fine and back.

Plus, the eerie trumpet music they played in this scene was awesome... is it on any of the soundtracks?

[Fronzel]

Well, of course it was odd, it was a side story. Haven't you noticed the others?

I know I'm really really REALLY late but i've just finished da capo and man i MUST say something about it!!!

it was really really really good, especially when it got all serious and finally had a plot to it (although i liked the lighthearted eps very much too ) it was such an interesting anime!!!

My favourite was definitely Nemu, because I could connect with her character quite immediately and she wasn't just the Oh look i'm so nice and perfect main character, she was responsive and honest i thought. But I also liked Kotori a lot, I don't know, she was just really really adorable and I loved her song

the only thing that kinda disappointed me was the ending, coz there wasn't enough of Nemu-chan and left the ending wide open

i guess i need someone's comfort thoughts on this issue

Spoiler:

I bet you when Sakura comes back, she'll be all grown up and does anyone of you think Asakura actually felt something for Sakura? that if it was her who had been by his side and not Nemu... maybe they would've gotten together??? this thought is really bugging me, so yeah, comfort thoughts, anyone?

comfort thoughts plzzzzzz!!!!!!!!

[hacks21]

too bad sakura didn't grow up or else she'll be too hot for him to reject:P

Yes Da Capo is an excellent show. And yes, the ending does leave something to be desired, but I think they deliberately left the ending open like that.

Spoiler:

What was really left open was the issue of Nemu's memory. Since they really didnt say, thats what leaves the ending hanging. If her memory came back, then Nemu knows exactly what is going on, and is waiting for him at the school gates as his lover. If she didnt get her memory back, then she is there as his step-sister.

To a certain degree, I think they left that open and let the viewer decide. But dont forget, he has already made up his mind, when Asakura finds out about Nemu's memory, he says "it doesnt matter if she cant remember, I remember, and I can remember for the both of us". In short, he has made up his mind, and even if Nemu cannot remember, he does, and if it happened before, it can happen again.

As far as Sakura is concerned, if she had not left, then she might have had a chance. She really cannot compete with Nemu, since Nemu has been there for ten years. Additionally, the one thing that was demonstrated in the anime, is that Asakura is not your typical spineless male lead. He made up his mind about Nemu, even though he knew it was going to be a very difficult thing to do.

In short, Sakura doesnt have a chance.

[hacks21]

is there a second season for da capo i really hope so cause the ending isn't really clear......what happen to nemu ??? did she get back her memory??? did she has forgotten everything??

[yukari_kiss]

thank you arwyn that reallyl was a comfort thought

[bluemist]

There are other newer Da Capo games around (like D.C. White Season, D.C.P.S. and D.C.P.C.), where they introduce more bishoujo characters not featured in the anime...

Don't you think it's a nice idea to have another season?

[yukari_kiss]

YES!!! a very nice idea!!!!! coz the open ending is satisfying yet buggin me quite a bit too.... i wanna know if sakura will move askura's heart when she comes back all grown up...hope not :P NEMU-CHAN FOREVER!!!!!!!!!

btw...does anyone know the stories to the game?

It's called overanalysis and looking too much into the subplots

Since this thread was already bumped, I thought I might as well mention why I didn't think the ending was quite as open-ended as some people say...

Spoiler:

In the last few episodes, listen carefully to the way Nemu addresses her brother as she loses her memory. At first, she's calling him 'nii-san, as she usually does, but as she loses more and more of her memories, she begins calling him onii-chan - the way she addressed him when they were younger. At the very end of the last episode, though, I thought it was very important that she addressed him not as onii-chan, but as 'nii-san - it's her term of affection for him. If she hadn't gotten her memory back, she would have still been addressing him as onii-chan. So, although it was subtle, I thought the end was pretty clear that they're still in love... which made me very happy!

Good observation, I never noticed... I just assumed that she remembered. I just liked the ending. But then again, I always root for the underdog

[yukari_kiss]

lol omg that was such a good observation!!! you've just calmed my deepest fears by like sooo much already!!!!

A season has passed, and a thousand things have traveled the paths of my mind. Then on a sunny afternoon, I heard the memory of a soft voice singing. I could not recall the song, and I could not hear the words, although theywere just out of reach, as if lost in the distance or carried off by the wind. But it was so beautiful. I strained to listen, afraid that the beauty of the song might be lost to me forever. I dropped everything to go after it, but it refused to come to me until I tried to sing along with it. And then I remember. How could I already have forgotten?

I'm probably not going to buy this anime. But I'd really like to buy the song that Kotori (Horie Yui) sings about the wind. Because if I live to grow old, I wish to be able to listen to that song as the sounds and the light fade toward evening.

Wow... that was... very poetic....

It really is a great song, and if you're willing to import CDs from Japan, you can buy it on the Da Capo Plus Situation (D.C.P.S.) Character Image Song Vol. 1 CD. As far as the anime goes, I would definitely buy it if it gets licensed! Of course, I'd also love for someone to license the D.C.P.S. game... but one thing at a time!

[st202]
