That's what he's doing anyway, why not throw some physical in there as well lol.
Well, no, that's not really Aisia's wish. She wants all the girls to have to their love for Junichi returned, which plain wasn't possible given that Junichi had already found the love of his life. Basically, Aisia wanted what a lot of viewers wanted -- for Nemu to disappear and for Junichi to give other girls a chance -- but the only way to do that was to (try to) wipe out his love for Nemu with magic.

Well, not that I suspect you really care, but that wasn't the point. Junichi didn't love any other girls, hence the ending was just restoring things to their natural state. For him to end up with any of the other girls through magic would have been cheating, and would never have been ultimately satisfactory to any of the girls. That was Aisia's big lesson, hence her decision. The tree's magic wasn't "pushed aside", its entire use was pointless and wrong from the get-go, and Aisia finally figured that out.

Both Da Capo anime are about coming to accept when your love can't be returned; the fact that you think he made a "bad decision" is exactly what the anime is trying to say isn't your call. Junichi's only decision was to be faithful to his true love... even if it wasn't the fans' true love. But hey, if you feel differently, there's always D.C.I.F. for an alternate possibility.

Phew, lots of viewers wanted Nemu gone, glad that was said lol. Well, you see, with regards to Nemu... I remember a conversation Aisia had, and she noticed that Nemu had spent more time with Jun'ichi than any of the other girls. And to that end, time-wise... he felt more natural and loving towards her. (this goes for any relationship)

The point I make with that, is, when you look at Kotori and Jun'ichi, with just 2 years, he already started to think of Kotori as a girlfriend. Even though he was still going out with Nemu. With that in mind, I don't see it impossible for Jun'ichi to accept all the girls over time. But alas, we come to the conclusion "ALWAYS!" that there is only enough room for 1 love in ones life. Which isn't the case at all, and I hate how this always pops up as a "norm". Not that it's a problem only having 1 girl.. but no really, this isn't a "normal" situation anyway. Those characters are hot enough not to drool over a average guy like Jun'ichi. Having 2-3 girls as his choice would be interesting, and dating all would be any harem otaku's dream.

Yup, Da Capo II is set 53 years after the 2nd Season of Da Capo. I just finished up Da Capo seasons 1 and 2 "Yay Marathon", and it was decent. Aishia shows up 2nd season, and she turned out to be the best part of Da Capo. She goes against the flow, which is cool as hell.

Wait ... so basically you are accusing him for not being the pimp he possibly could have been ? I don't see how him not drooling over each and every member of his female friend pack makes him bad, quite the opposite. He remained faithful in his feelings for Nemu, and, much as i dislike his choice, there is nothing there to speak ill of Junichi himself. Otaku-ish wish fulfillment aside (which i don't believe is the best ladder for one's morals ), i don't see how one can conclude that him being faithful to one of them was the wrong choice. Being a literal harem wasn't anything that him or any of the girls would have wanted, so in that aspect there is nothing to blame Junichi for.

Regarding this specific point, I also want to point out: you might consider watching the first episode again, because that actually wasn't the case at all. Kotori was depressed because, as much as Junichi cared for her as a friend, he never crossed the line no matter how much she wanted him too. She was losing confidence in herself as a woman! See also the scene where Junichi's in Nemu's room, which is very important. As much as, on the surface, it might have looked like Junichi and Kotori could have had something more, the reality was that nothing was happening. Kotori had already realized, at some level, that Nemu was still the only one in his heart, but she still loved him anyway. That realization was, basically, at the heart of the entire show, and it was explained right in episode 1. The most important part of the episode wasn't the heart-thumping and the blushing, it was the scenes they showed after that where they explained that "it's not what you think".

That being said, I'd say again that I think you probably should check out the recently-released D.C.I.F. as I mentioned before, because it actually deals with some of the points you raised almost exactly (about their being room for only one girl in his life, moving on, etc.)

Hmm, interesting points! With the Jun'ichi scene in Nemu's room, one can only see that he is going through depression/heartache. If I recall, that scene was near another scene regarding the two as a couple (Kortori/Jun), and there was a pause of embarrassment, and no answer to the question/statement.

When I see those two scenes, I don't really see it as Jun being faithful/still in love with Nemu. It tells me, Jun is losing his love for Nemu (remember, she hasn't said anything to him in 2 years), and Kotori is becoming more and more of a replacement in his heart. And Kotori would be depressed or uneasy because of the confusion on Jun'Ichi's heart.

I like your view points though relentless, they are very sound!

Basically, Nemu went to a Trade School instead of going to a General-Education High School (like the one Junichi is going to). And so, as a result, she left Hatsunejima.

So the "college" is just a miss translation? Just wondered how she become a nurse knowing I took four years to have the degree....

Well, "college" is more like a "technical college" (where you get a certificate), not necessarily the American version of "college" that is more like what some would call "University" (i.e. four-year degree programs). It could also be a sort of pre-nursing program.

Ok..... I leave it until here... I still have many concerns (the cap etc) still but that may monopolized the thread by going technical irregularities... anyway.. Still to finished 15-26.. though I already spoiled myself of the ending, glad I watched this series those is so long........
