Another awesome episode. Nodame's petaroushka(sp?) was very interesting, and it was neat to see Chiaki's "confession". But my favorite part of the episode was Kiyora's Concerto. That was awesome, I love the music from Carmen. Just 1 episode left, looking forward to it.

I felt bad for her too but that's how asian families are about "freeloaders".

Hope everything turns out ok.

BTW, is HG-F really shutting down? Ack! Will they sub the last episode before then????

Yeah I'm not sure what that was about...because I definitely just downloaded the HG-F sub job of ep 23. Maybe they meant after the series...?

i'm upset there wasnt more piano in this episode, i guess i was spoiled by the last two episodes filled with beautiful piano pieces (im more of a piano junkie than classical....) though nodame's performance in the beggining was really interesting, but sad.

anyway, i feel so bad for nodame. i wish chiaki would cheer her up or something. he seems to be really unemotional towards other people though, he focuses on himself and his future too much rather than worrying about those around him, and thats pretty much his biggest fault.

anyway, i'm excited to heart beethovens symphony =) and i want to hear more nodame piano~~~

The most lovable piece I ever want to hear at always. Beethoven's Symphony No. 7! In the live-action, Nodame made it into a piano style and I really love it! ^_^

Well, just one more episode and one more hug!!! Hauu!~

Aaaaah, one more episode left :( Can't believe it's over already :(

Nodame has entered a boring depressed stage though which i don't like at all...

Beethoven's gonna be massive....

Anyway this is keeping me from watching episode 23, so bye!

Yes, I wonder what sees in him aside from his cooking and looks? D:

It was a touching episode too, poor Nodame, she lost her motivation again and her family is so mean! T_T Stupid Chiaki, why did you leave her alone? You should have told her that you wanted her to come with you to Europe =/

Oh, and Kiyora's solo was FANTASTIC! *_* She was really beautiful with that red dress!

Chiaki did tell Nodame to come with him to Europe next year. To play the piano seriously. It was just that Nodame wants to play the piano for fun and to express herself freely without being bound by what is expected of her.

What a waste. All because of that stupid ringtone. Seriously.

I squealed when Chiaki told Nodame to come with him to Europe, but then… I teared up again. Nodame, Why??? (;_____;)
Her family is those who have the nice façade, but actually aren’t at all pleased with their current situation.

Loved the concert, as always. Kiyora stole the spotlight and excelled.

Maybe it was me and my off-key hearing, but it’s the second time I noticed that some notes in the ED changed… The last notes of the words seem flatter and end quicker, the tone’s different. It was the same last episode… Must be my imagination.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

It's like Chiaki doesn't even love Nodame.
There better be a make up and kiss scene in the last episode.

Mine said "Gyabo!" right? Has he inherited this habit from Nodame? xD I felt for Nodame there... The G-Cup sisters are back! xD Kiyora is beautiful and so is her violin! Crimson ruby xD The next episode better have lots of Nodame x Chiaki, it's finale afterall! I don't know who is more amazing, Nodame or Chiaki... Last song, that's so sad...But oh well, there are 2 more seasons so I am not that sad.. it's just a feeling...

Awwwnnn, depressed Nodame is depressing. But it look like next episode, all will be resolved.

As I thought, the sensei of Yuuko is the source of Nodame trauma.

Chiaki with a 3-days beard look badass xD

It was really a nice last concert for Chiaki. A lot of energy and new faces. The two that he rejected in the middle of the anime even made a comeback! And that's what I like from the Rising Star Orchestra. It give a chance to these musician genius to be on the stage and get revealed to the world.

And that last line from Mine to Kiyora... Too much cuteness :3

Well Chiaki tried to bring Nodame with him to Europe...it's obvious that he's attached to her but he doesn't want to give up his dream to stay with her. Heck I probably would choose my dream overr love and companionship. But even so I want Nodame and Chiaki to make up.

Now it all makes sense with Nodame...a cruel teacher and a family that doesn't believe in her.

Good episode, since the beginning I've always preferred the more serious content over the jokey joke stuff, but I think the romance in this was really underdeveloped. It felt really weird for Chiaki to just abruptly ask Nodame to come to Europe to be with him. That whole scene was kind of confusing for me; I just felt like there should have been a lot more dialogue and introspection leading into it.

I love the music selections. Strauss is my favorite composer but I've never heard the piece in this episode so I'm happy to hear new music for me to look up later.

I have no idea how this is gonna end, but whoever put "romance" in this season's tags should apologize to me, because it's just plain wrong, lol.

Carmen fantasy was amazing <3 Can't we just make Mine and Kiyora into main characters? They have far better relationship and chemistry...
