Da Capo II anime announced!
According to Moon Phase Zakki, the latest issue of Comptiq has revealed that an anime adaptation of D.C. II is in the works. While being terribly vague (a huge understatement on my part) on the details, it seems to me that a 26-episode series is implied. Or maybe it’s just my imagination.
For the uninitiated, Da Capo II is the sequel to the popular bishoujo game Da Capo. Both the Da Capo and Da Capo Second Season anime series are actually based on the first game, leading to much confusion amongst casual fans and the non-hardcore. This time the main character is Yoshiyuki Sakurai who has not one but two sisters unrelated by blood, Otome Asakura and Yume Asakura, the granddaughters of Nemu (heroine of the first game). Oh right, the story also happens to take place 50 years after the first game. Read my past entry for more details.
As everyone should know by now, my favourite D.C. II girl is Nanaka Shirakawa. So here’s a picture of a pillow cover featuring her!
Haha, good stuff. Still with me? Anyway, on a related note, Kadokawa and CIRCUS are working on a PS2 version of Da Capo II called “Da Capo II Plus Situation” (D.C.II P.S). Oh my god I didn’t see that one coming. At all. New story paths will be added and a Comptiq will be polling its readers to determine who gets to be one of the new heroines. It’s got to be either Akane or Iinchou…
Also I forgot to mention this, but I actually own a PS2 now! So yay for me! I’ll get my PS3 as soon as PS4 is released. :)

Someone threw the question of the possible scripts for the anime.
As for me, something I hated form D.C. was the 15 filler and fluffy eps b4 the real story. No, I miswrote it. Not that I didn’t liked them, but 15 fluffy eps followed for 11 eps of strong drama and angst are something really weird.
So D.C. II scripters need to fix something: their ability to mix laughs and tears. I sincerely hope this series has 26 eps of pure win.
I’ll watch it nevertheless.

I just felt an overwhelming temptation/urge to go get one of those pillow covers myself.

Akane a heroine on P.S. … then the conversion to P.C. will mean…
my waifu… her virgin days are numbered! >_>;

That’s cool. I figured it was only a matter of time before a Da Capo II anime came out. I guess I should get around to playing the game now.

I so didn’t see all that coming. Now if only I can get my hands on this month’s Comptiq… I don’t actually even know any of the details, can’t be bothered to look for it and haven’t gotten the new issues of anime/game mags :S

Mmmm I feel owned now. Well, a Miharu’s granddaughter?

Getting serious, I consider the first series to be good. The second one… well… too many fillers :\ (I like Aishia… a little, she was there for lolicons :P). I hope that this one will be as good as the first.
May 21st, 2007 at 8:47 pm
FUC*ING YES!!
I will be loving every second of Nanaka’s screentime.
Oh, btw: DC2 wallpaper i made is on my website ;p

Played the game, I liked the story. It gets kindda sad near the epilouge though, a love that last 50 years, and the curse of immortality.
Poor Sakura. Her event was so touching, and sad.

Hey Darkmirage it seems that the anime is coming out this october. Do you have any idea who will sub it coz I’m really looking forward to watching this after being disappointed by Da Capo SS. I hope this one makes up for DC SS.
