Da Capo
Synopsis:
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 recYou will like both Koi Kaze and Da Capo if you like their romantic atmosphere, although they don't have much in common. Da Capo has many humorous scenes, lots of ecchi, and there are supernatural forces working. The male protagonist is surrounded by many girls who all fall in love with him, it's up to him who he chooses. Koi Kaze, however, has a rather melancholic atmosphere. There are no humorous scenes, no ecchi and no supernatural elements, and the male progagonist is not a Don Juan, either. If you liked one of them, I recommend the other one if it is the romantic line that you liked.
Both Koi Kaze and Da Capo deal with a relationship between a pair of siblings. Though Jun'ichi and Nemu in Da Capo are only related through adoption, the idea they have lived most of their lives as siblings brings the point into play. Koi Kaze has more of the gloomy side with self guilt and coming to truly understand the way the relationship effects those around them and their friends. Both have comedic moments, though Da Capo focuses more on this. Koi Kaze is a far more real story, but Da Capo is believable in a similar right. I think that if you Liked Koi Kaze you would enjoy Da Capo. Check it out!
Shuffle!
Kaede is a devoted high school student who lives with her adopted brother Rin. She holds a quiet confidence that one day, when Rin finally starts showing interest in sex, he will make the obvious choice and turn to his loving sister. But what Kaede wasn’t counting on was the lords of heaven and hell coming to Earth, wanting Rin to mate with their nubile daughters! Rin, like any teenager would, takes full advantage of his newly acquired harem; but how long can he keep up his carefree, boxed-lunches-on-the-rooftop lifestyle, as the horde of girls on his tail grows?

add recBoth series talk about the main female character liking their "oni-chan," which is the selling point of the story. Both stories have their "magical" elements. Both of them are harem anime. If you like how Junnichi struggled (more like enjoyed) through the different choices of people to choose from, you'll love Shuffle because you will get everything Da Capo has to offer plus more fanservice! If that doesn't convince you, nothing will.
The similarities between Shuffle and Da Capo are overwhelming. To list but a few.
- Both have kind male leads, living alone with their sisters.
- Both sisters have a crush on the male lead.
- While the drawing style may be different between the two, the characters from both animes have similar appearance.
And the list could continue. At any rate, Shuffle had more drama (and a little more fanservice and violence) than Da Capo while the latter had more cuteness.
If you liked the harem of female students who revolve around Asakura, then you will enjoy the harem that follows Rin since both have several girls to choose from and each girl has something different to offer.

add recThe main characters of Da Capo and Kanon are very much alike and the side characters have their own stories. They both have their own elements of magic, and their plots are quite different.
If you're looking for something along the same lines or you really enjoyed watching one of these series, then I'd recommend the other.
Both Da Capo and Kanon are beautiful stories about how love is the strongest form of magic in existence, driving all real magic into utter insignificance.
Since I haven't watched Kanon (2002) before lol!
Anyways, when I first started watching Da Capo, I feel like even though they're both harems, the direction of the anime really pulls towards a certain pairing. You know who is going to end up with who... and despite the obvious couple, you wanna watch because you wanna watch how the male character deals with all the other females.
The two male protagonists are also really similar to me. They're both really nice guys, somewhat lacking in original personalities (but I guess the girls make up for it)... all the girls eventually develop a crush on him, and yet in the bottom of his heart, he only loves one.
I think if you love one, you have to give the other a try. Differences in plot but both include a touch of magic!
Akane-Iro ni Somaru Saka
When Junichi 'Gene Killer' Nagase saved the beautiful and wealthy Yuuhi Katagiri from bullies one day, he had no idea that he'd actually assisted his would-be wife! For what Junichi didn't know is that he and Yuuhi's fathers decided they would be wed, and Yuuhi has arrived in his town to decide if her betrothed is good enough for the job. After a humiliating and unwanted first kiss, Yuuhi moves in with Junichi to evaluate his worth; and thus, Junichi's life is changed forever. With embarrassing situations at every turn and a bride-to-be that thinks he's uncivilized and brash, what's a guy to do?

add recBoth are full of cliches, both have their harems, both have an infatuation with their sisters, both have an almost supernatural element that seems to serve no real purpose
Though Da Capo changes moods in the second half of the first season, they are both just fun comedic harem series that does some attempt to add enough drama and romance to not make you feel like your watching a completely stupid ecchi show.
I personally like Da Capo more than Akane-Iro... but I still feel that they`re both very similar.
Both are harems with protaganist who`s not exactly the best at realizing how he feels and who he likes. They also include two main girls... one who`s the sister and one who seemingly doesn`t know the guy as well and spends the majority of the anime trying to please him and get to know him.
Although Akane-Iro doesn`t develop their characters as well, they`re both very much worth the watch since I find them both really reasonable in why they end up with the girl that they do =)
same style heram anamie, same love between siblings. if you liked one give the outher a watch. finding good anamie in this ghenre is rare and there bouth good.
Kanon
- TV (13 eps)
- 2002
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 recI was reminded of Kanon when I watching Da Capo, for some reason, I viewed each character as a representative of some animal in both animes. In that, each character had a personality of some animal such as Nemu (Da Capo) reminded me of a cat; Sakura, a bunny; Mai (Kanon), a wolf, and Sayuri, a hamster. An evident connection though, is that the cast of characters follow similar personalities, and both anime have a supernatural element. Things get quite dramatic later on when you don't suspect it. Kanon dwelled deep into characters and gave quite an impression with its story at the end. Da Capo has beautiful colours and character design.
