* CatSmile:
** Sakura displays one briefly when Utamaru the cat shows up.
** Rikka displays a subtle one while dressed up as a cat maid in episode 6.

Released for the Winter2013Anime lineup, it is currently streaming on [[http://www.crunchyroll.com/da-capo-iii Crunchyroll]]. Viewers living in the US, Canada, Central/South America, United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden may watch it legally.

* {{Gainaxing}}: Charles does it briefly in episode 2. She intentionally invokes it in episode 8, using a jump rope onstage during the swimsuit competition.

* MaleGaze: Used quite often in the anime. Taken UpToEleven in episode 8, where each girl gets to put on quite a bit of FanService.

* PantyShot: Plenty. Every girl flashes Kiyotaka at least once. With the exception of Himeno, who has a [[LingerieScene Lingerie scene]] instead.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Sara, Mikoto and Rikka, although its more pronounced on the latter.

* GoLookAtTheDistraction: In episode 9, after Kiyotaka is trapped by one of the student council members, he points out that there's a cute kitten behind them. The girl chasing him turns around and tries to find the cute kitten, but doesn't see one. Utamaru, the cat he was pointing at, cries a little at being ignored.

* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Himeno, though she's consciously represses her own sexual feelings.

* ProlongedPrologue

* ThisAndThat: One of Kiyotaka's classmates asks him if he's going to do this with Himeno in episode 4. Being ObliviousToLove, he has no idea what the guy is asking.

* {{Lolicon}}: Kiyotaka is initially suspected of being one after he mentions seeing a young girl in episode 6.

* ThatCameOutWrong: In episode 6, Kiyotaka tries to mention that he's been seeing this girl since the cherry blossoms returned. The girls at first assume he's secretly dating someone, then he mentions its a young girl. They then all immediately assume he's a {{Lolicon}}, despite his attempts to clear up the misunderstanding.

* [[spoiler:AlternateUniverse: Mixed with AllJustADream. The Hatsunejima setting is actually a dream of all the characters who are actually "reincarnated" on the island. Their "real"/past selves attend Kazamidori Academy, a secret magic school in London, and they all have different names. Kiyotaka is named Katsuragi Kiyotaka, meaning that he is Himeno's blood sibling. Ricca is now named Ricca Greenwood. Sara is Sara Chrysalis, and Charles is now named Charles Maroth. Himeno and Aoi's names remain the same.]]

* StableTimeLoop: Overlaps with TimeyWimeyBall. [[spoiler: Ricca and Kiyotaka are Sakura's grandparents. The everlasting Sakura Tree from the original ''VisualNovel/DaCapo'' is actually the branch that Sakura was holding in the epilogue of the Da Capo route of ''VisualNovel/DaCapoII'' when she met Ricca, who developed and ironed out the problems with Sakura's version of the tree.]]

On the island of Hatsune, where the spring scenery lasts all year round, stands a large cherry tree that never withers. The mysterious cherry tree, rumored to grant any wish, is the symbol of Hatsune Island. However, one day, it suddenly turns into an ordinary tree... The scent of spring enhances this slightly bittersweet tale of Sakura and the Kazami Academy Newspaper Club.

* NoExportForYou: The anime for this VN averts this for the very first time in terms of anime adaptations of the series. As mentioned above, it can be legally streamed in North America and most Western European countries. This is in direct contrast to the anime based on the first two games, which as of May of 2013, are still only available via fansubs.

* TheOtherDarrin: Played straight and subverted at the same time, the voice for Sakura wasn't ''Creator/YukariTamura'' like it has been for all of the other Da Capo animations, but ''[[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=7072 hitomi]]'' who voiced her in the games.

* PantyShot: Plenty. Every girl flashes Kiyotaka at least once. With the exception of Himeno, who has a [[LingerieScene]] instead.

* {{Fanservice}}: The show will often display shots of the girls' boobs for no reason.

* {{Fanservice}}: This show doesn't hold back with this. Oftentimes the camera will linger on the girls for quite a while, particularly when focusing on certain parts of them...

* StableTimeLoop: Overlaps with TimeyWimeyBall. [[spoiler: Ricca and Kiyotaka are Sakura's grandparents. The everlasting Sakura Tree from the original ''DaCapo'' is actually the branch that Sakura was holding in the epilogue of the Da Capo route of ''DaCapoII'' when she met Ricca, who developed and ironed out the problems with Sakura's version of the tree.]]

* TheOtherDarrin: Played straight and subverted at the same time, the voice for Sakura wasn't ''YukariTamura'' like it has been for all of the other Da Capo animations, but ''[[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=7072 hitomi]]'' who voiced her in the games.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Mikoto gets one in episode 9, after largely having been relegated to minor scenes earlier in the show.

* TheOtherDarrin: Played straight and subverted at the same time, the voice for Sakura wasn't ''YukariTamura'' like it has been for all of the other Da Capo animations, but ''[[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=7072 hitomi]]'' who voiced her in the games.

* SkinshipGrope: Aoi does this to Charles and then Rikka near the end of episode 8.
