| I loved it! :D Notwithstanding that I imagined the kissing scene a little bit longer when I read it...the anime version was awesome. :) |
| They grow up so fast... Really fun to watch these character developments. |
| Nodamusting. One thing I could never stand about Nodmae Cantabile is how fast the dramatic parts seem to fade away. I mean, I'm glad that Nodmae can swallow the fact that Chiaki is and always has been zooming past her, but it breaks my heart that issues can be solved so easily. Kiss needed more background flowers. |

| The best episode yet. Now that I could see some reasonable ending from this. |

| I find the kissing part abit sudden... perhaps they could have lengthened the lead up to it and made it more romantic. Anw it was nicely executed :) |
| Loved the ep :D! |

| Woah, they kids are all grown up! ;D |
| I still have no idea WHY they didn't make this season 26 episodes. Like someone stated above, the dramatic parts of the story pass by too quick. Nonetheless, this episode was spectacular. |

| man...that was great...this has been every bit as good as S1 was so far..Imma be so sad when this is over |
JUST ONE THING! |

| What a great episode, haven't been this happy over an episode since long time ago. Do want moar. |
| Was veryyyyyy very very happy :D I wish they made it more romantic though :c But I'll take what I can get lol <3 |
Siva said: The best episode yet. Second that. This is what I've been waiting so long for. Chiaki really impressed. And that kiss!! Thought Nodame's analogy about the turtle and rabbit made sense. LOL. |

Siva said: The best episode yet. Now that I could see some reasonable ending from this. I agree I'm really glad that they didn't attempt to use Rui as wedge between Chiaki and Nodame. It's almost like the creators were reading my mind when I asked last episode for more development between Chiaki and Nodame's relationship. Plus we got to hear a lot more great music. I wonder if it was just a kiss? Ironically I'm thinking they could have made the bathroom scene with Nodame a lot funnier, but it was still very playful. Chiaki finally put his ambition aside to help Nodame and what does he get? Work on your own shit! LoL! Nodame's got so much pride, I really liked this episode. I wonder how they are going to develop this plot now. 5 episodes left! How very sad... |
| That was definitely one of the most natural kisses I've seen in anime. No flowers, no embellishing, the world didn't suddenly explode into colour or anything. Ah - I love Nodame Cantabile so much XD It's hilarious and does things I never expected it to do. |
| Oh I am just so grateful they didn't rush this particular part of the manga. This was just perfect. Nodame and Chiaki worked through a lot during the time they spent together and that kiss came at the end of a long week where they learned much about each other. This whole episode could have been condensed to 5 minutes, but the makers didn't do that. I'm eternally grateful and we got the best episode of the series. I am happy now, even though I know as a result, the last 6 episodes will be rushed. 12/10 |

Yumei_Noir said: yes, it was very natural... i've been wondering whether they do kiss and sleep over more than what is shown... because in this ep, it just seems so natural...That was definitely one of the most natural kisses I've seen in anime. No flowers, no embellishing, the world didn't suddenly explode into colour or anything. Ah - I love Nodame Cantabile so much XD It's hilarious and does things I never expected it to do. i love it that chiaki finally put nodame first, even if she doesn't want that much help from him, i like to see him trying. they are just the right medicine for each other - when they want to be. |
 |
| AWESOME :D |
| Nice. More character development and a kiss to top it off. |
| Wow, Chiaki skipping his trip to Italy, something I definitely didn't see happening, but I guess it's an attestation to his development. |
| FINALLY. At least ONE romance scene happened, even for 2 seconds D: I was starting to get depressed. I mean it's funny to see a couple like Chiaki and Nodame but it started to get heavy seeing how Chiaki was sometimes so passive or always hitting Nodame all the time. I mean who does that, seriously? -.- I was beggining to think that they looked a bit forced together. Well thank goodness for the kiss scene and Chiaki making a good deed by staying with Noda -.- |
 |
| Wonderful! This is the episode I've been waiting for in this season. Lotsa Nodame, Chiaki, and music. |
 |
| Brilliantly executed. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Really wasn't ready for the episode to end when I heard the lead into the ED :( Good episode, much more focused on the two and the music. Want more like it. |
| I loved this episode. It addressed exactly what i thought was the biggest problem in this season: Chiaki. He finally recognized what Nodame has done for him, reciprocated, and even freaking kissed her! That was everything I wanted from him. As far as some people thinking the show breezes past the drama too much, that's what I love about the show. Nothing's over-dramatized, it's presented straight forward. It's just like life: we might make a big deal out of certain moments in our lives, but when they happen, they just happen and we move on feeling however. I love Nodame. She really is one of the most unique, most well-developed characters in the medium. |

"A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| This is where I put in a really gushy, super sweet picture of something. |
| Nodame's "White lady scene" haha staring down at Chiaki so funny Chiaki's decision was really promising, a romantic episode awaits kinda tired of all Music comedy between them. Bathroom scene haha the Kissing finale was the 2nd kiss since the start of the season 1-3. BRAVO! |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| You know, for being 6' and 240 lbs, you better believe I squealed like a girl literally half my size during the kiss. I had to pause it to get it all out of my system before I could continue on! Oh man, the discussions of Beethoven and the other composers prior to that really bordered on sublime. Makes me wish I kept up with my viola lessons. One last thing: SQUEEEEE~ |
| Oh yeah another thing, anyone else get some slightly sexual vibes from the whole Chiaki carrot and Nodamustang imagery? Every once in a while, he has to let her bite him. Heh heh. |
| Could Nodame BE anymore mature? Aww Chiaki, I can't believe he didn't go to Italy for her, lovely to see how much he really does care and that he's willing to give opportunities up when needed. Awwwww, the hug and kiss :) Thanks to these last few episodes, these two may actually be my favourite (canon (nothing beats okikagu :P)) anime couple. |
| All hail to the tail, for there finally has been an awesome Chiaki x Nodame scene. Would be time, really. I didn't expect Chiaki to actually cancel his trip, so that was pretty cool. Also, bravo for Nodame. |

| amazing, simple as that. |

I'm a little sad that they change the dialogue during the kissing scene but otherwise yay!  |

| I am happy with this episode. 1. Chiaki finally makes time for Nodame and as usual as a man ends up over-compensating. How like him. 2. The kiss happened just right for who they are. 3. Nodame still wants some measure of independance and rebels at the end. That is also like her albeit more grown up. Ureshii, next episode please :) |
 |
| Nice episode =D love how Nodame is making progress but I do wonder about Chiaki spending so much time on her as well, nice to see their special moment though :3 |
| omg the kiss. <3 So cute. |
 |
| I loved, loved, loved, this kiss scene. So freaking cute! ♥♥♥ |

Finally, the kiss scene we all waited for so long...: Lucky Chiaki >_<# |
"Thousands have lived without love, not one without water." -Wystan Hugh |
| FSHHHHHHH. My brain melted at how cute and completely natural that kiss was. The way it was executed shows how the two of them are in sync with one another even more so than what is shown on-screen already. I absolutely love the chemistry between Chiaki and Nodame. I think three seasons is just what this show needed, and I am so very glad the drama isn't dragged over multiple episodes. It makes me rethink the term "Slice of Life". <3 |
