If they don't actually make a second season, that's basically what it'll be (and also a plug for the PSP version that just released as well). Because, the point that will now be clearer is:

Spoiler for Episode 13/Game Comparison (that I've been waiting for the last episode to post):

This entire season (essentially) only covered content that was in the Demo/Trial Version of the Game. They embellished some parts with anime-original (but not-contradictory) additions (like most of the stuff with Sakura), but the actual D.C. III game proper starts with what happens next.

So watching the anime is basically the equivalent to playing the demo (with a bit extra). This doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it well enough for what it is, but yeah: this is only the prologue. The common route hasn't even started yet.

(Note: the entire trial was about 3-4 hours long, as I recall (if you wait for the voices), hence why the anime added some content to make it 13 episodes.)

In that case we can expect the 2nd Season to be the actual story of the gameplay.
Well, it does make sense.
The intro/demo was the 1st Season, as well as the main focus being Comedy, while the 2nd Season will have that "Power Core" of Drama and the main shifts will happen there.

It was like this for Da Capo and Da Capo II already, hehe.

Holy crap, we spent 13 episodes for nothing? I mean, it's true that DC2 first season didn't really advance the plot much, but at least it told a story. This... this... If there is a DC3 SS, I bet you I could've skipped this series and would've still gotten 95% of what was going on.

Bah, DC3, I dub thee only a 1/10.

[Kaoru Chujo]

Put me down on the (small) list of people who really enjoyed this series. Sure, it didn't go anywhere in particular. But I enjoyed every week, for the characters and the images. The idea that this was just an introduction to the real action (which I hope will come in a "second series") makes sense. So does the idea that it was intended as an ad for a new game. All of the Da Capo animes have had a similar function. But I still enjoyed watching.

[Haiprbim]

Okay, so I have just completed watching the 13th episode and I personally think it was amazing!
Laughed so hard at who to envy, the guy with 5 girls that are constantly at his tail or the guy who lives a peaceful life with no girls, hehe.
The only thing that I'm not really satisfied with was the ending, since it was quite rushed into. I think we will see the continuing in the Second Season, but it will take at least a year to see it released.

Why do you think so? D.C. II aired in Fall-2007 while D.C. II SS in Spring-2008. So they could make a continuation this year. And I really hope they would do it. Cause the part left for S2 is the only reason why I finished S1 which was just an introduction(and with too much fanservice BTW)

Just rewatched ep 13. Noticed that when Kiyotaka was talking to Kousuke, there was the image of a girl on the mirror

13 Episodes, and this is just the Prologue?

Wow. Is this a VN that needs 52 Episodes to do it justice? But given that sales are utter rubbish, I guess we won't see the rest of the story animated. And we've not even touched Common Route? Wow. Just wow.

currently there is probably enough for a second season. The game is still being developed with more routes being released through patches rather than all new games.

[KBTKaiser]

If you completely take into account ALL the material and how it's set up, there is easily enough material for 2, maybe 3 cours at a stretch.

[NoemiChan]

Spoiler for Possibilities regarding:

Near the end, in the past, we see the "original" Sakura meeting her "soon to be" grandparents. She might fall in love with her grandfather and calling him "oniichan all the way which will be deeply imprinted in her memory...

Based on this ... we could say.. Sakura may have died later on which the sakura branch will be transferred to the hands of her "grandparents". They will bring it to Japan probably as Sakura's death wish........

Why does Sakura have to live in a successive tormented reincarnations...

That's the sad thing about her character... No matter what she tries to do to become happy, she's never able to achieve it, so tragic.

---------------
I personally loved this series, it's like an enhanced prologue from the game, so many great anime original scenes. There's an absurd amount of content left, I don't really see it being done in 12 more episodes, it will need at least 24 for the story to be told properly (although there might be a way to squeeze it into 12).

If only the cherry blossom tree becomes a person... a man suited for Sakura....

Yeah, we could call him Sakurai, hehe.

Is Sakura the reason the series is called Da Capo? as she starts from the beginning very time and suffers the same fate

Well, if I recall, Sakura's nickname by the protagonist was Sakuranbo (Cherry).

Wasn't this obvious since D.C.II? Maybe even D.C.I. That's what I think at least, everything revolves around Sakura.
