add recDa Capo Second Season, and Canvas 2 ~Niji Iro no Sketch~ are both series that have gained much with age. In both cases, the original series, or Hentai OVA in the case of Canvas 2, showed us a very moving story which had been executed in a much more immature style. In both romances we find a story that expresses both the winsome nature, and the tiny joys of unrequited love. Both of these series have moments that will make you laugh, and moments that will make you cry, but foremost, each will make you wish there were at least another dozen episodes to enjoy.
D.C.S.S. and Canvas 2 follow the typical harem equation, but have a larger cast. Each anime begins to unravel more and more about the main character's tragic childhood and history. If you enjoy the harem genre, I definitely recommend you watch both D.C.S.S. and Canvas 2.

For Aizawa Yuuichi, returning to the town where he spent his childhood has been an unusual affair. Yuuichi, it seems, has forgotten his memories of the past, including encounters with several young ladies who would love nothing more than to see him again. As the days pass, flickers of the past began to surface, revealing more and more of the dark events that once came to be. As the reuniting continues, Yuuichi soon starts to realize that his past may be far more complex than he once believed it to be...

add recThe beautiful part about both Canvas 2 ~Niji Iro no Sketch~ and Kanon is that they are both constructed in such a way that you cannot help but empathize with the main characters. Each has been constructed with a deep connection to the others, and while very common devices are used to advance the plot in both series, you find that it is truly the intrinsic tensions between the protagonists that make the stories memorable. What sets the two apart is merely that the ratio of humor to tragedy that you will find in Canvas 2 is much more evenly balanced than in Kanon, for which tissue boxes are not an optional requirement.

On an island where cherry blossoms bloom all year-round, love seems to always be in the air. It is in this magical atmosphere that Asakura Junnichi lives, and when he dreams he travels to the dreams of others, rather than have any of his own. In everyday high-school life, he is accompanied by his adopted sister, Nemu, and an eclectic group of friends including a j-pop idol-in-the-making and a girl they knew from their childhood. Promises, and magic, and love -- Junnichi seems to dream about every girl he knows, but which girl dreams of him...?

add recMost visual harem novels have a pretty standard plot: a guy and girl like each other, a second girl likes the guy, and the guy has to choose between them; they also tend to have a large cast of cute girls with unique personalities. One reason Da Capo and Canvas differ from the norm is that one of the guys' "choices" is a cousin or a sister unrelated by blood. Both anime have a light side but grow into an intense drama once the main character has to finally decide who he truly loves. If you like school romance/comedies, Da Capo and Canvas 2 are definitely series you don't want to miss.
