Nismosis

The overall presentation of this series was nothing short of outstanding. While I've only seen episodes 1-4; the storyflow, artwork, and overall appeal of the series had me at full attention. The series dares to take the tentacle hentai and step up the quality to a, thus-far, unmatched level.

Viewers who are fans of series like Twin Angels, La Blue Girl, and Angel of Darkness will more than likely appreciate this series more than others since it adds an extreme brutality level to the tentacle genre. Fans of the original game also won't be disappointed since the story made the transition to anime quite well with artwork that will remind them of the game's popular appeal.

The blended presentation of Da Capo is that of one with it's positives and negatives. The artwork, voicing, and humor are all positive traits of the series that excel at a nominal rate. However, the mediocre music, lack of story development, and somewhat confused focus all serve to counteract against the series. For one that is looking for a high-school anime with some romantic humor, then Da Capo will provide generous entertainment. However, if one is looking for a high-school romance/comedy with a good story, then they may wish to turn towards other anime such as Shuffle! or ONE.

Perhaps one of the biggest drawbacks on Da Capo was the short episode length. Most of the episodes spanned over 15mins with a short 5min sidestory.

The overall execution of To Heart was done fairly well for it's genre and the series now serves as a staple for other series of the same. While the first season is now well dated, it is still an excellent series for any romance fan. The artwork was executed fairly well for it's time but the "bulgy" style had my eye quirked at some points. The second season fixed this problem quite well tho. The full blend of cute music and attractive artwork functioned well together with the life-style drama of the anime. As stated before, this anime is a little slower than the traditional series but the simplicity only adds to the series charm. The only thing I'd really like to see from To Heart would be a definite closure.
