Probably it would be split cour like previous seasons but still they could shorten it once more.

I'm the one of the few who liked D.C II much more than D.C because I found the story deeper and characters better. Yoshiyuki, Otome and Yume was more interesting than Junichi, Nemu and Kotori and they gave more time for Sakura who is my favorite. In addition to it it was less "harem" than first one. The only bad thing — no proper romance ending this time

If it's 13 ep., then it's probably split cours series.

There are too much content to put in 13 eps. even if they rush it.

[Yume-chan]

I'm a fan of D.C series. I've read almost all the novel but only some eps of anime cuz I don't like the design and how they process the story. But I just finished the DC3 VN and the art looks good, so I may watch until the end.

Well, it's pretty much impossible to produce a full-length series without cooperating with animation studios (for workspace, equipment, workflow management, and connections to talent/subcontractors).

On Ep. 1, it seems that Actas handled production management and supervision. I'm not sure who the animation producer is attached to, but work was divided among numerous studios.

[Nachtwandler]

I know this but still there's always 1 or 2 studios which produce the show mainly and couple of subcontractors. But this time no real studio is credited for animation work. That's what I mean. "Animation club of Kazami High School" which is credited for it is not the name of the some new studio as obvious.

I understand. I just suspect that production work is credited that way for convenience (i.e. such as a result of the production committee dividing animation production duties among multiple studios due to scheduling), and that the arrangement isn't as different as we might expect. While I may be wrong, it seems unlikely that the producers have bypassed the studio and are hiring staff themselves.

For Ep. 1, the main duties attributed to the "Animation club of Kazami High School" are key animation and production management. Actas handled management (despite not being directly credited for the role), and while it's impossible to determine where the key animators worked, most are generally involved with studios in Musashino and the Suginami ward.

We should get a clearer picture of the situation as the show progresses.

Right now, Himeno's the one I'm focusing on. This is her (Mikoi Sasaki's) first major role outside of Milky Holmes. Everyone else in the group has already moved onto some pretty big things (Suzuko Mimori's in a lot of stuff, Sora Tokui's on Robotics;Notes and Izumi Kitta's been on Vanguard, and that's a pretty long running thing), so I'm excited to see where Elly's VA ends up going. The rest of the show was pretty good, too.

Dem Suginamis Personality never changes
Wait, what? no red-haired Shirakawa school idol in this series?

I thought the same thing when I saw that.

Suginami, how the heck does that guy keep cloning himself?
There is no Shirakawa in D.C.III. Not now, not later. I'm a fan of the Shirakawa girls, but I didn't feel the story was lacking without one. IMO, D.C.III characters are likeable enough for a Shirakawa to not really be required.

[EroKing]

Oh I very much enjoyed the 1st episode I mean who wouldn't? There was bounce everywhere

[Nachtwandler]

Funny thing btw. If I'm not mistaken D.C. III timeline is around 208X but the world don't look like the future at all. First and second parts had androids at least.

Not having seen any of the previous entries in this franchise I'm not sure whether it'll be worth my while watching this but watched the first episode anyway.

I did double-take when they introduced "Charles" (maybe because she has a fine pair of charlies?).

The show is very full of bounce.

I'll probably give it a few episodes to make up my mind about it.

[Marina2]

I wonder if the staff of this "new" studio are the same set as people who did the animated OP for game

The drawing is almost the same (I think)

Yes, actually -- they said that it was the same staff who did the Game OP (which basically tells us, as you might expect, that they'd been planning this anime since before the game's release).

Just thinking how long this anime was running, I can imagine how long the game is.... same as Clannad's...

Too bad, I'm still @ season 1 episode 17 and never got to watch it yet...

hard to tell how long the game for Da Capo III would be. They're adding patches for more content. Might actually be perfect for split cour in this case. The length of the first 2 games isn't terrible though. Not nearly as much as Clannad.

[justinstrife]

Not sure if I'll spend the time to watch this or not. I'll probably browse this thread for awhile and decide later whether to pick it up. Was not a fan of the first two seasons and their endings.
