**************************!!!!!!!!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!**************************
Every year the flowers bloom. Mysterious Cherry Blossoms blooming all over a crescent shaped island. That island is the island of Hatsune...
The main character Junichi Asakura goes to Kazami Academy and has the power to see the dreams of other people in his sleep. He was also taught magic by an old lady that allows him to create sweets. One day, Junichi seems to have seen someone's dream again while he was sleeping. Inside that dream, a girl who was a childhood friend of his appeared. But, he was woken up by his adopted sister Nemu Asakura, forcing him to come back to his regular life. Nemu doesn't actually have blood relation to Junichi but their bond is deeper than other real brothers and sisters. So deep that it gives the illusion that they're lovers.
It was another peaceful normal day waking up early in the morning and going to Kazami Academy. Together with childhood friend Amakase Miharu, the academy idol Shirakawa Kotori, the two sisters Mizukoshi Moe and Mako who prefer eating nabe on the school roof for lunch. Going through their day as usual, their childhood friend, Yoshino Sakura, who they thought had moved to America suddenly appears. It was a surprise for Junichi and Nemu. Sakura tells them, "I came to finish the promise we made during our childhood"...
Harem anime are usually hit or miss but I really liked Da Capo and while it's not the absolute greatest I really did enjoy it and I think this underrated series deserves more attention. Da Capo has a pretty good storyline and with some very interesting characters which everyone will find one that they love. Throughout the series we see each of the girls' relationship with out main character Junichu Asakura and each have feelings and there is plenty of great romance. Considering this anime came out in 2003 the art for is pretty good. The only downside is that it is because a harem anime it often jumps around from girl to girl at first, but it does focus more on Nemu and Sakura, particularly Nemu at the end.
This ending is so addicting and stuck in my head, Sakura and Utumaru are so cute! So I'm posting this so it can get stuck in all your heads! Enjoy!
If you do not want to be spoiled DON'T READ THIS! Da Capo is a romantic comedy harem anime so I will discuss the romance in Da Capo some more. Throughout the story we see how each of the girls have feelings for Junichi and their relationship with him. The two girls who are the main focus are Junichi's sister, Nemu and his cousin, Sakura Yoshino as well as Aisia in the second season. I liked the ending too and I say it did a pretty good job of wrapping up the series. Now, while I usually don't support incest relationships, I will make exceptions. While Junichi and Nemu are brother and sister, they aren't blood related and let me point this out! Marriage laws are less strict in Japan than in the USA, in fact I think they're only law is that you can't marry an immediate blood-related family member. In Japan and many other countries it is legal to marry a cousin and in Da Capo it's legal to marry an adopted sibling. Let me remind everyone people married their cousins all the time in the early 1900s and they saw it as normal. Anyway, I also mentioned Junichi and Nemu as an underrated couple in my 2017 Valentines Day post so if you support them, please ship them, if not that's fine!
I would give Da Capo 4.5/5 stars or a 9/10 score. It was overall a really good and enjoyable romantic comedy harem anime that had good selection of characters as well as it's romance and drama. I would recommend Da Capo for anyone who likes romantic comedy or harem anime. I plan on watching a two more similar romantic comedy harem anime known as Tsuki wa Higashi ni Hi wa Nishi ni: Operation Sanctuary (HaniHani: Operation Sanctuary) and Gift: Eternal Rainbow as well as another similar romance anime Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na: Crescent Love will probably review it in the future as well.
