Each episode features some girl with our lucky guy, and through some thing that happens they start getting warm, fuzzy feelings for him. Speaking of dating sims, Da Capo certainly goes like a dating sim.
Don't stop counting, there are *more* girls - enough to rival a dating sim, but I think I'll stop listing them for your sake (and mine). Then there's Yoriko, the cat-eared Chobits-lookalike maid (I'm absolutely serious), who can't do a *single thing* a maid usually does, i.e. She fills the show with descriptions about different types of nabe, their ingredients and how they taste, and usually Mako is there to eat with her. Moe is the ultimate fusion of Mutsumi (Love Hina) and Osaka (Azumanga Daioh) - slow, spaced out, and has an incredible obsession with "nabe" (a hot pot dish). If you've watched Happy Lesson before, then the similarities of the character with Uzuki-sensei are obvious, (short, cute, blond, looks *exactly* the same) but unlike Uzuki, Sakura is annoying, childish and gets Junichi into all sorts of awkward situations of the Love Hina type. The girls are certainly varied in personality, but for each of them you can find another anime's character that is almost *exactly* like them, but much better.įirst into the food processor is Sakura, who used to be very close to the Asakuras when they were younger, but moved overseas, only to return to join (and annoy) them in school. Unsurprisingly (am I the only one beginning to sense a pattern here?), as the story goes along more girls are introduced as fodder for the romance. It's also unsurprising that we have a male lead loser to start off the romantic chaos : Junichi is about as fun and interesting as drinking soup with a fork, but he cares for his sister as if she was really his family and she in turn has some nice warm feelings for him. Given the current state of the generic romantic comedies that flood our TV/movie screens, it's totally unsurprising if you'd be turned off by looking at those words. But read on, because it might have enough appeal to get you to like it.įirst, look at the nice shiny blue bar on the right, and pay attention to the "genre". It pushes, it pushes, but something just doesn't seem to fit. Da Capo is just one of many attempts to combine popular anime elements into one title, and like most of the rest it falls short of the ten-foot pole by about. Have you ever tried to force two jigsaw puzzle pieces together? You push and push, but nothing fits. Which one will he choose? How will his relationship develop with his sister? Are we going to see To Heart's evil clone form out of the spawning pool? The story that follows basically shows how everyone falls in love with him. However, only the two of them know that they are actually not blood relatives - a secret which they do not wish to reveal.
