D.C.I.F. ~ Da Capo IF OVA ~
Looks like along with a box set of the original Da Capo series from 2003 that's coming out December 25, 2008, they're including the first episode of a new Da Capo "If" OVA that focuses on Shirakawa Kotori:

Oh my god. We're actually going to see things go the way Kotori wants them them go --- IMPOSSIBLE.
That means all us Kotori fans that basically wanted to cry for the rest of our lives because nothing good ever happened to her are finally getting a break. Yes i'm looking very much forward to this.

This sounds like it's very much in the spirit of the similarly-named D.C. II IF manga, which re-tells the D.C. II core story with Nanaka as a main character. So, I'm imagining the two-part OVA series (one with each series boxset, I presume...) will do the same for Kotori. What will be most interesting to me is whether they do it by shifting to the game's story, or whether they make up their own story path.
A lot of people have said over the years that they should do OVAs with alternate endings for the various heroines, so the fact that it looks like they may (should emphasize "may", because we don't actually know for 100% sure that that's the case yet) being doing that here is very interesting. And for the record, I liked the ending of the first two D.C. series, but I also liked Kotori's ending in the game, so I'm looking forward to this... to the tune of buying the boxsets even though I already own all the R2 DVD boxes/DVDs. |

I actually think a Sakura ending would be a lot more interesting but a Kotori ending would be fine as well. She is a worthy heroine and had every reason to believe she was the frontrunner, as late as episode 10.
Wouldn't be much of a stretch for Jyunichi to go for Kotori - if he wasn't a siscon, they surely would've gotten together in the first series! |

A Da Capo OVA focusing on Kotori? Count me in. Definitely a Kotori fan. I'm hoping this is an IF story focusing on what would happen if Kotori ended up with Junichi.
If they could add an IF Sakura OVA too, I would be in heaven.

Interesting. Now, I'm not a Kotori-fanboy, but hey, I liked the series, and seeing it from a new point of view should be fun. Though I hope that they'll bring back the people who actually made the first season, as that one had the best animation and was generally the best-written one in my opinion. (Though I heard they made some changes from the game's storyline, but I don't know HOW different they were.)

Sounds like according to what Stripey found on Getchu (I wouldn't know since I can't read squat in Japanese other than hiragana), ZEXCS is the studio who'll be doing the IF OVA.
I'm a little surprised, since although ZEXCS did the original Da Capo, it's been all FEEL since then (DCSS, DCII, DCIISS). Still, I thought ZEXCS did a better job with drama (although I like FEEL's character designs better...) so definitely looking forward to it...just 106 more days until Christmas... |

I actually liked Nemu's game version. I felt she was a lot nicer and less whiny. And I hated her anime incarnation. How I wish I'd known her game version before her anime one, then I wouldn't dislike her, I'm afraid...Jyunichi was also a lot cooler.
And yeah, Moe was one of the 'big 4' in the original game. Poor Moe. In any case, these are interesting enough news to get me to post. I lurk lots but post little nowadays. I'm looking forward to this, naturally.

So we have a Kimi ga Nozomu Eien alternate route OVA, a Clannad alternate route OVA, and now a D.C. alternate route OVA....
I see a trend.
