add recThis is a difficult recommendation to write without spilling into spoiler land, but the fact is that both Kanon, and Da Capo Second Season deal with loss and acceptance in very similar ways, except in reverse chronological order. Both series have very blatant plot devices and a very strong undercurrent of romance. The reason I would recommend De Capo second Season over De Capo in relation to Kanon is that the characters in De Capo Second Season are less whimsical and flighty, and therefore carry a deeper emotional charge which is much closer to Kanon's out of the box shrink-wrapped with tears goodness.
There is the same type of feel to each of the characters in Kanon and Da Capo and each involve a high school setting. The series goes through how the characters learn and develop from each other and basically just being able to mature into a better person.

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.

add recMy impressions on the Da Capo franchaise has DEFINITE risen after second two. Many Da Capo fans didn't like it, but I loved it more than the original and for that, it gets it's own recommendations.
The characters are so much more developed, mature and even lovable. Much like Kanon... I thought after season one, it does not compare to the story that Kanon held up. But I was really wrong... after season two, I saw how similar they were in character devleopment, the heartache and simply the male protagonist being loved by 100000 girls.
If you ask me, I definitely love Da Capo more than Kanon now. But because of their similarities in story, magic and harem themes, both are worth a shot.
