The second game was fine. Nanaka, Yume and Otome in one game is insta-win. Unfortunately whoever directed the first season thought it was a good idea to get through Koko and Minatsu first. Sure you're left with only good characters for the second season, but its really painful getting through the first. Though not as painful as the second season for the first Da Capo. That's why you shouldn't have original stories based off of eroge in the first place, but that's how popular Da Capo is, lol. The only other game I can think of that has stayed popular nearly as long is To Heart 2, though that being said I never bothered starting on it.
