Short Summary:
Aisia doesn’t sleep all night and thinks instead about what Sakura told her. The next morning, with that on her mind, she asks Junichi what happened two years ago. Junichi doesn’t really answer, instead saying that it was a serious thing. Sakura arrives at the door dressed in a yukata to ask Junichi out to play. Junichi goes out with her, leaving Aisia at home. While the two are drinking lamune, Junichi learns of a London school of magic. His grandmother and Aisia’s grandmother knew each other and got along very well. Junichi tells Sakura that Aisia works so hard so that she can be able to grant people happiness like her grandmother did.
Meanwhile, Aisia remembers everything people have said two her concerning two years ago, including how the sakura trees used to be in bloom all the time. She walks around town looking for all of her friends in order to ask them what happened back then, but all of them are out of town or really busy. Aisia finally runs into Kotori, and asks her about two years ago. However, Kotori doesn’t feel that she can really explain either. Aisia feels that she doesn’t understand anyone else’s feelings and wishes she could read people’s minds. This strikes a cord with Kotori, who used to have that exact power. Kotori recounts her own experiences, including how honest Junichi was with her. Kotori continues on by saying how much Nemu and Junichi like each other and that Nemu is happy now. But Aisia doesn’t like the fact that Nemu’s feelings coming true means that Kotori’s won’t. Aisia decides that she wants to return things to the way they were two years ago, which involves reviving the old sakura tree and fixing it (Aisia views the old tree as imperfect).
The animation and music (especially the BGM in the final scene) for this series has been getting progressively better in the past few episodes. In terms of the plot, not a whole lot happened this episode, but Kotori and Aisia did get plenty of screen time (Rasmiel noted that the director has said that story is supposed to be about them) and a lot was said. Kotori’s views really haven’t changed much, and Aisia is still bent on making everyone happy. I’m getting to the point where I feel like Aisia’s ends-justify-the-means kind of mentality is very misplaced. It’s becoming more and more apparent that if Aisia tries to uses magic and revives the tree, it’ll just make things worse, be it in the act itself or in the aftermath.
But based on some of the titles that we have coming up in the next few weeks, I’m inclined to think that Aisia will succeed (in some way), and that this is where the plot is taking us. That being said, I’m not entirely sure how this spoiler fits into things, if Aisia does indeed revive the old sakura tree. Maybe it’ll start changing how the girls feel about Junichi (i.e. make them start fighting over him)? That seems a bit unlikely…
And of course, there’s still the Sakura factor. As it stands, she probably won’t be too happy with Aisia after she warned Aisia that magic is dangerous. Next week’s episode’s focus should definitely be on those two, especially considering the title. All I can say for certain is that I really want to see how this story ends, though not necessarily everything in between.
Closing Thought: This series must be subliminally reminding us that Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire comes out next week by talking about the London school of magic.

Don’t forget the site has asked you not to give links to raws/subs/PVs.
(look above where you put in your name and e-mail)
Anyway, kill Nemu, have Sakura go off on another journey or something, ship Aishia off to magic school in England, and get Junichi and Kotori married.

Poor Da Capo MAybe they’re trying hard to catch up on how they suck like Gundam SEED Destiny’s Ending
The Similarities: Shinn = Kotori : Kira = Nemu…Slowly killing the “should be” main Heroine
BTW who were the couple in the ending looking at the album?
is Nemu and Jyuuichi or Kotori and Jyuuichi??
Because Nemu and Kotori’s skin complexion is quite the same
bj0rN`- at 4:22 pm on November 12th, 2005
well~ DCSS will end in a way like any other drama however, i have a feeling that there wont be any happy ever after with someone for Junichi. Then again, Da Capo 2 is coming out soon eh? It’s the same Asakura surname, but this time, it’s 2 sisters. LOL!
Whatever it is, I have a feeling that the next 6 episode won’t have any changes, well~ as far as I’m concern, season 1 is way better since there’s a really nice plot for it. Maybe we’ll see the girls do the confessions for the next few episodes. who know?
AznSoulBoy at 4:27 pm on November 12th, 2005
well some people said is kotori. because they said uhm…the person wears red shirt (maybe it gives a clue..) and they r looking album pictures from some souvenirs?(some1 said that) anyway.i hope is kotori =). ohh well. this anime should not dissapoint me man LOLLL.
Shun at 4:39 pm on November 12th, 2005
Speaking of which is there really such a thing as DA CAPO 2??
It’s like they’re competing with the TO HEART Series eh??
Village Idiot at 4:43 pm on November 12th, 2005
Yes, it takes place 52 years in the future.
Main characters are:
2x girls with the same last name as Asakura
1x banana loving girl with the same last name as Miharu
1x red haired girl with (you guessed it) same last name as Kotori
All that I heard so far is that the eternal sakura tree had bloomed again
AznSoulBoy at 4:44 pm on November 12th, 2005
maybe. ahh man im tired of this i just want to see kotori happy =_=
Fury at 4:51 pm on November 12th, 2005
yup kotori deserve junich forever screw nemu and laugh has she burns in hel
Z3r0 at 5:00 pm on November 12th, 2005
wow i sense lotsa nemu hatred and kotori fan’s not that i care who wins,(/me have to dodge kotori rabid fans)
the reason i watched season 1 was bcoz the angst and drama the second half of the show and was hoping they would continue the drama and angst in the second season, i was hoping more angst in drama this episode since sakura has returned and theres the issue with sakura and aisia , aparently the plot,drama and angst is not up to its peak yet hopefully theyll step it up

kotori doesn’t deserve junichi. go watch s1 again, nemu if anyone deserves to be happy. She’s devoted herself to him, despite all his inadequacies, remaining true to him for two years while he was busy flirting with kotori, losing her memory for a while and nearly dying because of her love. kotori? she’s gotten him some yakisoba bread a few times, and “took care” of him during nemu’s absence, though not with purely altruistic intentions (trying to get close to him even though she confessed and was turned down properly in s1 is a self-serving interest if i’ve ever seen one).
Nemu has her flaws, sure. She’s insecure, which makes her somewhat possessive because she’s afraid of losing him. So what? She lost her parents, and felt like an outsider in the family even despite junichi’s assertion, especially when sakura was around. She knows what it’s like to lose someone, and she doesn’t want it to happen again, especially since junichi is all she has now.
Junichi is too nice, so he won’t tell kotori to back off, but kotori should know just as well as the rest of the first season cast that nemu and junichi are an item. Yeah, she wasn’t there when nemu was sick, and may not even know all the hardships nemu suffered, but she should know well enough to step back and wish them the best.
I’m tired of hearing shallow fanboys scream how nemu should die at every opportunity without any legitimate reasons or explanation. Sure, i’d like for kotori to have a happy ending. I’d like for everyone to have a happy ending, but nemu most of all, moreso than kotori. I’m hoping for an ending where kotori finally comes to terms with her emotions and is able to move on, Nemu and Junichi happily together, and Aisha understanding, with sakura’s guidance, that there’s more to happiness than the contrivances of superficial magical spells

ah p00k the misguided Nemu fanboy, we shall turn you to the right path.
p00k at 5:29 pm on November 12th, 2005
by all means try, but u’ll need to say more than “NEMU IS A BITCH SHE SHOULD DIE”
Fury at 5:30 pm on November 12th, 2005
pook sounbds more like a fangirl than fanboy
Saga at 5:33 pm on November 12th, 2005
roflmao @ anza
I have to agree with what p00k says, but I still cheer on for Kotori. XD
However, the tricky thing with love is that people can change just like *that* and may go for someone else as they grow older…after all they’re just high schoolers anyway ⌐⌐… but who knows?
