...I don't think she'll appear in the anime. They've got enough material just to stay focused on the main 6 heroines and complete the main plot of the game. Aisia will be a new bonus heroine in the PS2 version of the game coming out in late-May, so we'll see what happens. Regardless, though, it should be interesting.

New ad for DCIIPS just came out this week, presented by Otome and Mayuki.

2 Updates on the site adds support characters and three key figures

Mizukoshi Maika
Myu
kohinata Suzu
Kohinata Shin

Asakura Junichi
Yoshino Sakura
Yoshiyuki Sakurai

[KBTKaiser]

Newest update today reveals the support cast for Erika Murasaki

Rio Forkasuraito (Leo Forcathrite?) - gives the feeling of stuck up royalty
Jeimii Dauningu (Jamie Downing?) - Rio's silent bodyguard
Furoura Kueishii (Flora Quacy?) - Rio's tag along

Side note: Jamie crashes the bust competition with an 88, taking Erika out of the top 3 and assuming second behind Akane.

[MeganeShounen]

Is it me... or does Jamie look too old to be a high schooler? ^_^;

Well, I expect it to be in the name of protecting Leo. Speaking of which, Leo seems to be from some other school... who's probably chasing after Erika (fiancee?).

Also, Junichi-jiichan finally has a clear spot in the character pages.

Recent update fills in all the remaining question marks.

Miaki - HMA-07 android working at Amakase Labs. (Proves that Circus is still following the seasons)

Sawai Yuuto - Iincho's younger brother

Asahina Miki - Works at Mizukoshi Hospital

Imai Megumi - Mayumi's rival from another school

Oh wow.

I guess we were right about Miharu's sisters, huh? Though, I didn't expect them to show Miaki this early on..

Does that mean Miyuki/Mitou's for Da Capo III?

[HashiriyaR32]

HAHAAH!! Oh what the hell!? Erika is being voiced by Kugimiya Rie!

... so who said that Kugimiya Rie wasn't typecast to role as tsundere loli ojousama-kei characters?

By the way, I just looked at the site, and saw some listing of what was in the special edition of the game, but seeing how I can't read Kanji, I don't know what they actually said about it. If anyone here can read Kanji, could you please tell me what's actually in that box? I've previously felt extremely tempted to say "Screw the fact that my knowledge of the japanese language sucks, I'm getting the game anyway!", but after noticing that the special edition has so much... stuff, I'm now tempted to say "Screw the game, I'm gonna get it purely for those extras!".
As a side-comment, I find it extremely annoying that all the PC-games in this series are 18+ rated, as it would be more or less impossible to make a translation-patch for a PS2-game as far as I know.

[MeganeShounen]

Voiced 18+ games, with English translations, huh?

The closest I can think of is MirrorMoon's Unlimited Blade Words storyline patch for Fate/stay night. They were able to rip the Realta Nua version's voices (PS2 version, so H is nil) and add those voices into the patch itself for a fully voiced and readable experience.

Problem is.. since the source for the voices didn't have H scenes to begin with, they were able to put in the voices for almost all the scenes.. except the H scenes. I'd imagine it to be a tad awkward though, frankly. Even after playing a few TLed eroge (thank you for the memories, G-Collections and Peach Princess~), it's still a bit odd for me to listen to those high pitched wails and sobs... ^_^;;

*looks forward for the Da Capo TL project's completion*

Lessee...

5 disc set

Discs 1+2: D.C.II P.S. game itself

Disc 5: D.C.II P.S. Soundtrack (19 BGM tracks)

The game takes two DVDs? And it consists of nothing but 2D-graphics, text and voices? Something tells me that playing through everything in the game would take one hell of a long time, but with 12/13 different storylines, I suppose that's logical
Apart from that, the soundtrack is the only thing that really interests me though... even though I've hardly heard any of the BGM in the game, except in some random youtube-clips, and I assume that the vocal songs are not included.

[KBTKaiser]

Quite an update yesterday.

VAs for everyone and sample CGs for the "targets"

I noticed that too. Those are some pretty nice pictures they've got there. (Well, some of them at least.) Aisia's image almost made up for the fact that they inserted such an (In my opinion) inconcievably annoying character in the game. (Though, if I do end up getting the game, I'll propably play through her path too. Who knows, maybe she's developed a brain at some point during the last 50 years?)
Also, is it just me, or is Mahiru completely separated from the rest of the characters on the chart?

[Vegard Aune]

Because nobody has pointed it out yet, there have been some more updates to the site, with some voice-samples and a new trailer and... something.

In other news, I'm still bothered by my lack of japanese-skills, I'm starting to not hate the fact that they brought back Aisia so much, and Mahiru is cute. Not much more to say about that.

By the way, in the new trailer, Aisia does a little self-introduction. Does anyone know what she actually said?

[Hypertaost]

Chances are nobody cares, but an almost complete chinese patch of D.C. II just got released, 95% text, 0% menu, my copy of the game'll arrive within a week or so, waiting patiently right now.....

Sorry it took a while, but anyway DCIISS anime is ongoing so I wasn't too late on the party. I think Otome's story plays a major part in the anime so far, so reading it might become a big spoiler, so proceed with caution.

So here it is... the Otome scenario.

So here it is... the Otome scenario.

...I still have absolutely no idea what happened between the "end" and the epilogue... Hopefully the anime will explain that, because I somehow doubt that someone will post a summary for the D.C.-path before the anime ends. (But then again, they COULD end up doing the same thing they did with the last season, and just ignore the epilogue completely...Damn you, Feel. You presumably killed Minatsu.)

Spoiler for There aren't really any spoilers here, I just tagged it to be on the safe side.:

Apart from that, that was much closer to Yume's story than I thought it would be. At this rate, I don't really think it matters which one of them the anime ends up going with, because they're both pretty much the same thing, only that Otome's path explained things a bit more, and there was no real reason why those explainations couldn't have been in Yume's path too.

Argh... you still don't get it, do you. So that you stop complaining about it...

Spoiler for Minatsu's Game Ending:

Do you actually understand what happens in Minatsu's epilogue, and more importantly when? They couldn't skip ahead a few years because the second season takes place immediately after the first (the first season was fall, the second season is winter, and the epilogue is spring). So Minatsu not being present in the second season means they're being true to the game -- her epilogue can only happen at the same time as everyone elses, i.e. when "spring has come". They didn't ignore her epilogue in the slightest -- it's just that they haven't gotten there in the timeline yet. We're still in December 2053 at this point.
