i also think the part where yoshiuki )might of spelt that wrong) called sakara mum was awesome! i got a feeling that he dont dissapear with the tree!.. just a hunch ( i aint read the manga!)

this anime doesnt really get me in the mood to cry =s unlike air and such but its still a overall good watch especially this episode!

Great episod I think. Sakura must be relieve and happy that Yoshiyuki don't blame her and called her mom.

Isn't it a little earlier to make Sakura Tree withered? There still 3 episod left isn't it? I'm hoping an alternate happy ending...

The first half was beyond epic...

I got teary-eyed when Yoshiyuki called Sakura-san 'okaa-san'. There would have been some manly tears if I didn't expect it, but alas fate plays such a cruel card! xD They set that up perfectly! The bgm, the pause, the animation of that scene really set it apart from the visual novel. My only gripe is how Sakura was missing her shawl, she lost a lot of moe~ points without it...

Now the second half...

I hated the fact that Otome broke down and cried like that...I can understand some tears, but that was a bit too much... I would have found it reasonable if she was actually dating Yoshiyuki, but wow that was a little bit too much. Even she didn't break down like that in her own route, a week or so after they started dating and showering together! Then we have the whole botched Yoshiyuki confession...eh weak! WEAK!!! Last but not the least, Yume was there...wtf!!!

The adaptation of the first half was great...but the second half took way too much leeway in my book. Now on to everyone forgetting who the hell Yoshiyuki is! xD

there were some awesome scenes (def. "okaa-san"), but there were some horrible either - when Sakura said that she was researching magical sakura trees in USA... = facepalm. also I agree with PimpToad, Otome's crying was a bit too much for me too.

cause it sounds pretty lame to me - studying magical sakura trees in USA. I know DC is also supernatural series, but I felt it was out of place and unnatural for some reason. like, magical tree is nothing unusual, let's study it in USA. maybe the whole scene was just too short to explain it well. anyway, if it's just me, it's not a big deal. ^^

The game kinda explains it more in detail during the Sakura route. Notice in the scene how she is doing all of her research alone and she has probably been at it for 30+ years. Don't forget that Sakura herself has a doctorate's in herbology (or something like that). In DCPC, she was able to make a clone of Alice's tree (forgot what its called). In the Sakura route of Da Capo, she was actually the teacher of Junichi's class for 'x' amount of time, hell she was already a college graduate before she even started attending middle school. If you tie in the events of previous Da Capo animes/games into the mix, then it doesn't really sound that farfetched =P

your explanation definitely sounds better, so I guess they just screwed this scene in anime, cause I didn't think about it from that point of view.

imo, it looked kinda like a plot twist at the end where Yume finds out that Otome and Yoshiyuki were whithering the tree...

What I wanna know is what exactly was that Sakura pendant or that Sakura gave Yoshiyuki, my guess was it's to protect his fake body from "breaking up" when leaving Hatsunejima but that's just my imagery.

But my guess the story will be like the puppet show miracle and there will be a miracle of some sort...maybe incolving that protective pendant (of course happy endings.)

(Yume was never there when Otome pwned the tree)

Yep you got it right!

Remember that Yoshiyuki only exists within the boundaries of the Sakura tree's power, aka Hatsunejima island. The pendant acts as a sort of transmitter so that Yoshiyuki can leave the island. It was first introduced in DCII, and you should notice its importance due to Sakura's insistence that Yoshiyuki shouldn't remove it EVER while he is away.

The puppet show is reflective of DCII's ending, which sucks in my opinion. Again, Utawarerumono end ftw! To me, Da Capo never had a happy ending since the canon route is Nemu's =P

so sakura created yoshiyuki because she was lonely since the people she loved grew old and had families.

how did kotori and othesr who liked junichi cope? did they marry other people? if so, why not sakura?

also, why did she not grow if the effects of the tree should've ended?

suginami?

The continuity of this still confuses me... Sakura goes on about the tree and how she made it come back and all that, when all i can think about is how in Da Capo Second Season, it was Aisia that did it...

Did they make it wither again shortly after the events of D.C.S.S.?

The most fun thing about this episode was my minigame to predict the dialogue. I was actually mostly right with him saying "Oto-nee" lol

Sakura has caused trouble once more. Last time it was her fault too.

It's unfortunate that Sakurai wasn't able to hear Yume's confession.
