Time to start over all again and return to Da Capo! The raw is out, and now we wait for the subs. Not the most popular series, I'll admit, but I've taken quite a liking to Da Capo, as it's in my top 10 anime series and the visual novels are my favorite. Since this is a completely new series, not a new season, you do not need to watch Da Capo or Da Capo II to understand this.

EDIT: Looks like a special, full-length pre-air episode aired right before the first episode. It's currently not subbed, but it seems to serve as both a Da Capo III cast introduction as well as a music-ranking episode showing all of the previous Da Capo, Da Capo Second Season, Da Capo II, and Da Capo II Second Season opening and ending themes.

Looking forward to this :D Watched em all from including specials and time paladin sakura haha so no problem for me here! Guess I gota finish up my Bakemonogatari/Nisemonogatari/Nekomonogatari marathon soon so I can watch this as soon as it's subbed.

As for opening songs some series don't put their new OP/ED till ep2 so hopefully that's the case here. The VN opening music would be nice :)

ANN showed a preview for the opening, and unfortunately Da Capo III doesn't appear to be using its awesome visual novel opening for its anime opening. If anyone would like to listen to the incredible visual novel opening for comparison, it's currently sitting in my profile. >D

I'm going to watch this despite not being blown away by the previous seasons to say the least. I'm more doing this for the simple fact that this is the longest running harem anime at this point in time. Who doesn't want to have that in their anime medal collection?

I'm interested to see if the story connects to the prior ones in any way. Maybe it's going to get as silly as da capo II in regards to character relations. xD

Indubitably.

Spoilers for the end of the second season of Da Capo II-

Suginami is forever young and hilarious! >D But didn't Sakura give her life in an attempt to stop the magical sakura tree from continuously granting wishes, both good and bad? I have a feeling she's going to show up in Da Capo III, though I wonder why/how.

I thought she sacrificed herself but there was a hint of her after the ending, it has been a while so I may have imagined it. They brought the tree back to life again and she is linked to it so reckon she will be back somehow, there is magic involved so though some crazy reasoning :P

Episode 1:

That was a bouncy episode and a lot of talking breasts. I'm not too bothered by this episode since we are introduced to all the characters and stuff again. However it feels like the pre-airing special pretty much spoiled the whole episode from the get-go.

I got that impression too from the first episode, don't remember the other Da Capo's being quite so bouncy.

Also during that episode if it was realistic, the mobile phone message from 1951 would have been from one of those huge brick things as the first mobiles had only just been invented a few years before. XD

I'm also pretty sure that text messages on the phone weren't invented yet. Or were they?

I can't remember ever texting something on the home phone even after it stopped having those rotating things.
