Spoiler:

I was expecting Nemu to go back to kindergarten or something, as there was no indication of her memory returning until that final shot after the closing sequence with her reverting back to "nii-san".

Edit: Thanks!

Spoiler:

That is true, but that would have been a very sad ending. I'm glad it ended the way it did, even though it left me wishing for more!

YAY *jumps around* This si gona be awesome!!

[vio5555]

That was an awesome ending. It really was complete and does Da Capo justice, unlike Avenger, which I was waiting for the same amount of time but was a complete let down.

Spoiler:

how awesome would an OVA with adult Sakura coming back from America be ? Nemu in the high school uniform was kawaii

[Jinx626]

Just saw the last episode and have a question that might sound really dumb....

Spoiler:

I am assuming that Nemu recovered her memory fully with the whole last scene. With that where does that leave her relationship with Junnichi? Are they more than brother and sister? Or just strictly brother and sister?

Spoiler:

I guess they're a couple now, since she kept her memory. They both confessed to each other way earlier and decided to be together, with her restored memory I guess thats where theyd be.

Hehe yea that was one awesome ending!

Spoiler:

I agree, an OVA of Sakura coming back would be amazing. Too bad at the end they ddin't show a class shot of all of them standing together, I wanted to see Nemu in full uniform, not just aprts of it :P. Anywayz good ending ^^

I totally agree - we need Da Capo Season 2, or at least an OVA to continue the story! Come on Circus and everyone...

Spoiler:

They really left the ending vague, but that's certainly what I got out of it. Her reverting to "onii-chan" there for a while in the last episode was highly important in order to set-up the deliberately vague, but happy ending. It really does leave you wanting more though! Grr...

Edit: Of course, there's also the fact that she's wearing a high school uniform. If she had forgotten everything, she wouldn't be in high school as Iori Bradford said way up there. So, we can safely assume that the true death of the sakura tree undid the damage it had done to Nemu's memory, and gave us a happy ending! Yay - Nemu and Junichi forever! (unless Kotori catches his eye... in which case...)

[eMpTy265]

Wow... over at last.... sort of really feeling empty right now... what should I watch next?

D.C DaCapo's ending was pretty nice, with Sakura almost breaking down, and Junichi comforting her.

In a way the ending with the main group was really nicely done, but on the other hand I thought the side characters didn't get enough.

But oh well... I suppose if the side characters got too much airtime then the focus would be lost.

Still... while satisfied with the ending, I wish there was more.

^_^
I wonder if there's going to be season 2?... oh second thought... maybe D.C. 's better left off ended like this. ^_^


P.S. Why did they bother to show the 'pink bear' in the ending OP sequence?
(sounds weird... the ending OP... but it is the OP song... and it is the ending sequence...)

Did the bear actually appear in an episode that I missed? or is it there to promote D.C. PS?

[Keitaro]

What a fantastic episode 26 was. It went exactly how I imagine it would go. It ended perfectly in my book not like other anime endings cough Avenger. Ya but anyways I'm glad I didn't dump this series earlier like what other ppl did. I hope they're will be a S2 or some sort of Special or OVA. I wanna see the adult Sakura, what if shes hotter then Nemu or Moe. LOL

[Timeless Enigma]

Well... I must express my absolute joy in watching this series, both the OP and the ED were great. The only thing I didn't like of course was just WHO Asakura ended up with in the end... Oh well... the more for me :fingers:

Well its really a no brainer.

Spoiler:

of course its Nemu, but we can't be sure since the ending was so vague we can only assume, but yeah hes definitely only interested in her. He has admitted his feelings for her many times already. Why would he suddenly change his mind.

[Muir Woods]

Spoiler:

I'm have to agree with Timeless Enigma here. Look I'll admit, Nemu is a great girl. She looks soft and warm to the touch, brimming with cute girlish charms, and not a bad personality to boot. Although she appears to be anorexic. But damn it, she's his SISTER! Anyways...I wonder what would've happened if Sakura commited suicide? I was thinking "Hey, if I can't kill the tree, I'll kill myself.". Oh well, wrong prediction. But that would've made the anime a whole lot sadder (if it wasn't already).

I just have a couple questions regarding education and school system in Japan (and maybe Asia in general). Junnichi and Nemu started the anime and school as 9th graders right? Seniors in middle school. So that means their elementary school lasts 1-6th grade? Then 7-9th in middle, and 9-12th in high school.

You know what we should do? Post a picture up for the pink bear in each of the episode if you manage to find it (her). Something to waste time with...

[Lord Raiden]

You are correct. It's actually K-6 for elementary, but the rest that you had is correct. Silly in my book, but that's how they've got it broke down.

Spoiler:

Well you do know they aren't blood related. I don't see any problems with them being a couple an all and besides they already have such strong feelings for each other I don't think they're going to just go back to being brother & Sister. They already crossed the line when they confessed their feelings and kissed each other. But if they do go back to the brother/sister relationship then I can only imagine how awkward they would feel to live with each other. If I was Asakura I would move out.

I still can't figure out why I watched the whole thing. I guess the incest thing came up just at the point where I had seen ONE TOO MANY of those damned side stories. It was certainly the most dramatic plot option they could have sorted out of x number of game endings...

If I played this game I wouldn't go for either Sakura or Nemu first. Catgirl (nyan), then the nabe sisters... oh well.

The problem is in the original PC game, you have to have cleared Nemu, Sakura, Kotori, and Moe (all four characters that have a connection to the sakura tree) in order to get into Yoriko's scenario. In a sense, Misawa Yoriko is a "hidden character" in the original PC game.

In addition, (although since you already watched the anime, it is pretty useless but,) if you played this game with absolutely no background knowledge about the "D.C.~da capo~," the best story outline is clearing the game in the following order:

1. Nemu
2. Sakura
3. Kotori
4. Moe
5. Mako
6. Miharu
7. Yoriko
8. special "D.C." extra episode

A lot of ero-games (although they don't have a "locked" system that disables you from playing one certain character before another) usually has a "recommendation clearance order" in the game manual so you get the most direct "punch" out of the story. For example, in the game "Kanon," they tell you that you should opt to clear the game in the following order:

1. Mai
2. Makoto
3. Shiori
4. Nayuki
5. Ayu

Of course, if you've already seen the anime, this is useless as you already know the story. But if one were to play the game first with absolutely no background knowledge about "Kanon," then you would understand that by playing in this order, that all the "miracles" that you witnessed all leads up to Ayu's wish.
