Wow series is over. Time sure went by fast.

LOL, even in this finale, Kiyotaka still gets time with the girls and Ricca. *sits on lap* Well, I will miss this series somewhat but not too much. Oh and Sakura looks nice with her hair down imo. The girl at the end of this finale also seemed kinda interesting. However, this finale was a bit lackluster imo.

What I am looking forward is the DC III P2 which most probably releasing next year.
Hoping for a second season? I am not sure about that. I am not that type of person who enjoys Fanservice. And Previous DC anime series doesn't contain that much. Overall, not bad.. I enjoyed it from around ep 11 onwards.

Well, I don't know about that but I want OVA for the past life when Kiyotaka entering magic school, in the visual novel I actually found it's interesting but can't say much there will be a Da Capo.

I'm not really sure about a 2nd season for Da Capo III, it doesn't seem like it's better than Da Capo II.

rikka on lap, cuteness overload

im going to miss the "fuketsu desu!" XD

stupid harem main characters,at least hoose the "shuraba" ending XD

9/10 for me

Other than cute girls with bouncy breasts, this show had nothing going for it in my opinion. It MIGHT have been a little better if they would have pursued the contest with the other newspaper club and really did some investigating on the Sakura and the characters of the past Da Capos, but there was next to no development on that other than Kiyotaka going to the detective agency the one time.

And of course Kiyotaka was your typical boring harem MC who can never choose from the large group of girls who adore him for whatever reason. Yawn, that never gets old does it?

3/10 season if for nothing more than big boobs.

Fabulous Episode!!!

Art: 9.5/10
Story: 9/10
Characters: 9/10
Music: 9/10
Overall Rating: 9/10

This episode had a lot of great scenes especially with Ricca:



Overall this season was very enjoyable and entertaining with a fresh set of new characters slightly different to the style of the previous seasons of Da Capo. This season was also more peaceful and slightly serious towards the end which made it quite interesting in my opinion. It ended right when the London Arc sets in making it likely for a sequel to happen. I'm looking forward to play the visual novel when the translation finishes and also will be looking out for a potential second season!!

Episode Rating: 5/5

This episode was a little bit of an anticlimax. I actually felt a lot more emotion in episode 12 when Sakura said goodbye. I also would probably have been happier if he simply chose Ricca since it seemed like we were seeing a good end route for her. Lacklustre final episode took down the series rating from a 9 to an 8 and I'm undecided about whether I want a repeat, but I probably would end up watching it for the (ahem) plot.

Well, it wasn't the worst thing I watched this is season, that honor goes to Amnesia, but it was still very disappointing. Felt like more of an add for the upcoming release of the adult version of the game more than anything. The only reason I hung on so long was because I really liked the previous 4 seasons. oh well. giving this a 5 and moving on. Oh, there is something i never figured out, where they in high school or middle school?

This has to be the oddest Da Capo Season out of the other 4 but it’s odd in a good way I guess. I’m giving it a 10/10 because I like Fan Service/Ecchi/Harem's. Plus the OP was well done as well.

It kind of feels like Rikka won at the end. Well I’m hoping for a Da Capo III Second Season Anyways.

If we look at the history there should be a season 2. The story left room for a second season while closing one loop.

Honestly liked the season although they went fanShot a little too much for nothing, but hey if it sells. Well looking forward to season 2 or OVA's if they arrive or it was a good 5 season long show.

And like that person stated ^ besides the constant close ups of bouncing boobs this was just another typical harem with a boring mc with a hint of magic on the side.

Meh episode. I was hoping for more stuff to happen in this episode since it is the finale, but nothing really did happen. This episode felt more like an OVA than a finale. The situation on the roof, with all the girls forcing him to choose, was funny. Sakura returning as a grown woman was also pretty nice. I can see that out of all the girls to choose from - Sakura would be his one choice. LOL

I feel that this is the weakest Da Capo season of them all. I really do hope that things change for the better in season 2, like it did in Da Capo II season 2 - my favorite Da Capo season of them all. 4/10

This was even weaker than DC II's first season. Easily the most stretched out prologue of ANYTHING I have ever seen or watched.

Hopefully, DC III SS will end up like DC II SS = get right to the story of the game's Da Capo route.

Nice catch! Didn't notice her. It's Mahiru Takanashi, character from Plus edition of Da Capo II. Here you have all girls of that harem.

Anyway. It was bad... Reeeaaallly bad. For me it's the worst Da Capo series, not counting the first season. That harem was HORRIBLE, last time I've seen this kind of horny girls, was when I was watching School Days. Seriously, this anime needs Kotonoha to kill all of them, I really wish it would happen. Main lead is just... Jeez. I love how at the end he picked harem ending for himself, because he wanted to have every single one only for himself, sorry, didn't want to HURT any of them. What a wuss.

Biggest plus of this series was obviously Sakura-chan, just as loveavle as always <3 Finally got to see her older version! Besides of that I liked the ending songs (but WTF was with the opening?! My eyes and ears... They should have just stick to Yozuca), and that Mikoto girl, she was kinda cute, needs her own route.
Rest girls of the harem were just so annoying, couldn't stand all of them. It's nice that finally Nemu's clone didn't get laid, at least.

Overall my rating for this series is 5/10, and it's only third series I've gave a rate this low. I guess that if there is a second season I will still watch it, I mean second season of D.C. was better, and second season of D.C. II was better as well, so who knows... Maybe it'll become something more, than just a moe, fanservice shit.

I wonder if it's because of the change in studio that the adaptation is affected.

My favorite Da Capo franchise is the original Da Capo because there was a lot of attention to the plot and character development. Da Capo II also showed this but not as much as the original Da Capo. Now Da Capo III completely lost the plot and character development part. It focused on the fan service which is not important in the Da Capo franchise. From the start of the anime until the end, the plot is still a mystery and there is little- no character development at all. The characters more specifically the heroines all loves Kiyotaka from episode 1 all the way until 13 with no background story as to why they even fell in love with him in the first place.

This is seriously the worst franchise ever. Or actually the only bad franchise in the Da Capo franchise.

If they are going to make a Da Capo III SS, I hope it focuses on the plot and background of the heroines because that is the most important part skipped out in Da Capo III.

I think all of the girls won Kiyotaka's heart. Maybe there's some kind of time loop that makes Kiyotaka able to 'replay' his life, and so he beat all of the five heroines' route, which explains the term 'da capo'.

Then in the end when the 'storytelling' by Sakura is finished, the five girls end up asking who Kiyotaka liked (like how they did last time) the most in the past life.

Sakura blossoms on the river, eyes, above the 2nd floor roof tops... EVERYWHERE!

At least the other Da Capo's main hero actually dated some1. Taka actually said the forbidden words of an eroge. Give this guy a bad end. Two girls only stood out because of their Grade A Zettai Ryouiki. Rikka is a ribbon overkill and Sara had a fitting seiyuu.

Its more of fan service with those awkwardly changing closeup frames than a romance like the past Da Capos.

I actually liked this series a lot, well mainly because I love the atmosphere which is pretty much the reason why I love Da Capo.

However I disliked the excessive fanservice present throuhout the series as it was unneeded to bring out the charm of Da Capo. I agree this season is the weakest among the 3 and it probably won't get another season because this season is pretty much already low on budget from what I can tell from the animation quality. And it didn't really feel like a first season of a Da Capo season to me.

Adult Sakura with her hair let down is so beautiful!

Rikka was so cute sitting on Kiyotaka's lap. Rika best girl ftw.

Still think Yozuca should have sang the OP of the show even though I like The current OP. Though we do a get awesome ED, "Aitai yo", for it by Yozuca.

If there isn't a second season then I guessed I have to wait for a translation of the game or study Japanese then cause I really want to find out the mystery of how this season links to the previous Da Capo series.

Overall I love the show due to the atmosphere so I'm gonna give it 10/10

Overall
I have to admit i was sceptic about 3rd (5th) sequel. And yes my worries were fullfilled in first few episodes maybe half of the show. Instead if "boing" part i would prefer the "how MC met girls and why they felt in love with him" part.
With the Sakura getting on scene and more flashbacks and hints pointing to prequels it became much better and at the end we even got nice for some slightly confusing ending (for those who haven't seen prequels especially i guess).

I gave it 8/10

From what understood> Yes and no... She won him in past in their previous lives when she later became Yoshino oba-chan (Sakura's granma).
But this time she herself said that what was in past doesn't matter, important is present (future)
So i guess this was image from past and not future, even Sakura didn't seem to know two of them and if Sakura got reborn two of them would be much older.

ouch my head...anything involving timelines jumbles my head...I totally don't know if Ricca is actually some totally old lady that looks like a teen or that really is some reincarnate of Ricca that knows what happened too her with all of the magic and love and stuff...oy...

As for whoever won Kiyotaka's heart, I always approve of the "everyone wins" route, just means 5/6 or more in bed.

And since every other anime had a second season I hope this one has one too.

So after playing the Da Capo II Visual Novel..... I kinda pieced out the end scene of Da Capo III, and how it is related to the thingy majiggy ending of Sakura's arc in the VN. Kinda. Her behavior throughout DC III was all no memory of things blah blah blah, but due to saving the protagonist of DC II she sacrificed her memory and stuff. And the epilogue of Sakura's arc is basically the same as when Ricca Greenwood and Kiyotaka something (Their last names are different compared to their Kazami counterparts since they're in London in some past life) talk to Sakura holding the twig. And this is where the Da Capo part comes in (I think). Since Da Capo III is only 20 years after the events of Da Capo III, it seems a little off for Rikka and Kiyotaka to be married I believe two generations before, when their ancestors met Sakura twenty years in the past. Just my thoughts... I have no clue if this makes sense, and I apologize for any headaches that occur from trying to read and understand this.

The way that I pieced it together (having never played any of the visual novels) is that Rikka and Kiyotaka are actually Sakura's grandparents in the original timeline. Rikka was grandma Yoshino, who was considered one of the most powerful mages, and is also the one who planted the tree. Her surname became Yoshino because she married Kiyotaka. Kiyotaka passed away before meeting Sakura, however, Grandma Yoshino was still alive to take care of her. Ruru-nee is also the grandma of Aisia, who was said to be good friends with grandma Yoshino. Which would validate Aisia's sudden appearance in DC SS.

Whether I'm right or wrong, I'm pretty satisfied with this interpretation and it made this season much more worthwhile than it might've been otherwise. Anythings possible in Da Capo though, tbh, because of its "Da Capo/magic" theme.

OK LOOK GUYS. Firstly im really damn frustrated cause kiyotaka doesnt confess to anyone. thts really a spoiler in the last episode left me hanging. Anyways my main point. So in this anime we see tht is the past life, ricca and kiyotaka are 'together' i suppose. In this anime in the earlier episodes, we see the couple ricca and kiyotaka planting a sakura tree and as they get older , we see sakura chan and onee chan. Thats where im so frustrated about. IF sakura and onee chan were not ricca and kiyotaka, why is the current sakura adressing kiyotaka as onee chan. WHEN CLEARLY HE IS NOT THE ONEE CHAN FROM THE PAST. if anything, ricca and kiyotaka seem to match but sakura and kiyotaka? whats the deal with that. that leaves me with this actual question. WHO THE HELL IS ONEE CHAN. it cant be kiyotaka im sure. gosh im so damn confused right now.

Ok, I think you're being confused by the "onii-chans" because there's actually two different ones. The original "onii-chan," and the one that Sakura truly wants to be with and was with during childhood (during that scene as well) is the protag from the first Da Capo series, Asakura Junichi.
She was calling Kiyotaka "onii-chan" simply because that's how she addresses older guys that she takes a liking to I suppose...not to mention she didn't have any memories of her past when she first met Kiyotaka in the DC III series.
So yeah, basically, the "onii-chan" that she was playing around with in that weird flashback scene was Junichi. Ricca and Kiyotaka weren't childhood friends like that, to my knowledge, so the only Ricca and Kiyotaka scenes we see were when they were teenagers/grew older together.
