| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- go nodame go! |
| any speed subs of Nodame going around? |
 |
| Chiaki must be shocked at Nodame unwilling to meet him at the end of her performance. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| "I want Ice cream!" ... that is all there is to it! But awesome, I thought Milch was just being a pev.(Dark magic circle helped) but he's actually helping Nodame. And now Chiaki is realising that she won't be around if he doesn't give her the attention she wants! |
| Now Nodame isn't only for him anymore lol -XDD- |
| Seeing as this is the episode I've been waiting for this entire season, of course the subs are nowhere to be found and I had to grab a raw. I'll have to re-watch since it's so dialogue-heavy (which probably has something to do with the delay on subs), but I just had to hear that Chopin. |

| This must have been my fav. episode of nodame cantabile in all the 3 seasons combined, the way she played that chopin song... SUGOI SUGOI |
| Sweet episode |
 |
| I loved it. Somehow I get the feeling that soon it will be Chiaki who will be the one that needs to catch up. And it happend just as I had hoped, Stresemann brought forth a Nodame that made music for no other reason than the music itself (and being completely unrelated to Chiaki) Now Nodame gained quite a bit of independence here, and Chiaki will be forced to do something for their relationship or they will just keep drifting apart. This is the kind of development I hoped for. :D |

| Ugh. This was unexpectedly brilliant. Nodame in her debut?! I was fine with her just doing a concour....now the show has to end with her having had her debut?! I NEED MORE. This show must not end! |

Just a sublime viewing experience. 11 stars. Definitely the best episode of the three series along with Paris-Hen's episodes 10 and 11 and probably the most impressing music-wise. The perfect climax-builder episode and an incredible piece of anime. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| The effects during her performance were very mesmerizing. I really just can't get enough of her playing. Milch's poster was too great, always the eccentric one. |

| "Noooo, there's no way I, a mere handsome and sexy shopkeeper, could possibly have Bankai!" ;) |
| finally some high quality music performances! that's why i love this series! loved this ep but it's approaching to the finale. nooooooo, i don't wanna say goodbye, not yet. |
| That was on par with Chiaki's Rachmaninoff in the first season. Seeing Nodame finally blossom... god, so amazing! They're really bringing their best stuff to the climax! |
| My first novel, Kardia has been published! Click here to read! |
| A captivating performance indeed. Very good episode. Only two left, huh... Guess I'll be watching the drama someday, too. |
 |
| The last half of this season has been the best out of all 3 to me. The music in this ep was fantastic, and really fit well with what's going on right now. Can't believe it's almost over. Chiaki needs to man up and get straight with Nodame or she's going to drift away...HOW CAN THERE ONLY BE 2 EPISODES LEFT? |
| wonderful music brings back memories of the first season..... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| That Chopin was magical. My mouth was open all the way through. I'm so glad Nodame is finally being shown for the amazing pianist she is. The shock on her face at the audience's reaction just goes to show that she doesn't think highly of herself enough to invoke that reaction. Chiaki needs to do something major I.e accept her proposal or even better; stop being a total fool before he loses her completely. |
| The end of this episode came way too fast. I was in to it... and then... the ED started... Shock! I don't think my shock was as great as Chiaki's when he heard "She doesn't want to see you now". |

| I don't get why everyone blames Chiaki for everything, but don't realize that Nodame's whole proposal was just out of some desperate attempt to tie herself to him. He hasn't actually done anything wrong here. I'm not sure what he's supposed to do when he's not the whole problem. She doesn't feel she could ever be relate to Chiaki musically and that really can't be blamed on him. I just feel a lot of people are missing the point why she refused to see him. Nodame isn't suddenly going to become someone like Rui who travels the world and performs with other people. She's going to run away. Again. |

| I'm really not looking forward to the next two episodes, because i don't want this to end. I really loved the animation on Nodame's movements during her debut. |
|
| OMG! What's going on? Why Nodame and Chiaki can't be like always? I mean, I know Nodame is experiencing something new and overwhelming for her, but that is why she should share it with her boyfriend! I can't wait to see what's going to happen next >.< |
 |
| One word to describe this episode- PHENOMENAL! Nodame's Chopin was absolutely breathtaking. I knew her mood would affect the piece, but it wasn't how I expected it. I felt so bad for Chiaki, searching everywhere for Nodame. It was nice to see some of the old cast from the first season. Would have been nice if there parts were longer. I agree with you teletha and limskragma. You could tell by how Nodame looked in the dressing room at the end that she wanted to run away- especially with her refusal to see Chiaki after the show. Normally she would have been overjoyed to see him. You can really tell how much Chiaki is realizing her loves her by this episode. My issue with this episode was that 22 minutes went by in a flash! That ED came on way too soon. |
 |
| Mesmerizing performance. So happy that Nodame had such a stunning debut. Having followed her through all the struggles and hard work made this moment all the sweeter. But the distance she put between herself and Chiaki made this episode somewhat bittersweet. Wonder how her teachers and everyone else at the school will react once they learn of her performance. The Milche poster is fantastic. Gotta steal me one. XD |

LimsKragma said: That's definitely one of the best episodes so far.... The whole debut scene was mesmerizing :)) I am kinda wondering what will happen now, though..... Nodame had her goal about playing on a stage with an orchestra the way she wanted, even if it wasn't with Chiaki.... So, what will she do now? I remember in one of the previous episodes, Chiaki was thinking that she was trying to rush things towards something - it may be that now she'll have problems returning to the music after fulfilling her goal the same way she had problems when she had to face it head on......... But that's just my thoughts. Hope it's not like that. Aaa! I can't stop re-watching the debut concerto...... I wanna hear this piece without the speaking. !!!!! Her goal changed partway through all 3 seasons. She has been wanting to play with Chiaki. I kind of see the opposite happening now. Everyone around her has been treating her as an unpolished stone that still needs refining since they all know she has major potential. She's a sponge and the teachers, mainly Cheryl, has been trying to get her to learn as many songs as possible before hitting the big stage. No one's given her the attention or complements she's been looking for nor have any of the instructors wanted to risk putting her on a major stage because they feel it might do as you're suggesting, cause her to get lazy and big headed. I think the opposite will happen now though. Milch gave her the attention and experience that no one has been man enough to give her. Now she has something to work more towards and that's to continue letting people enjoy her music and to push beyond everyone's expectations. I'm wondering how her teachers will react to this now. |

| That ED is really getting to me. It enters so perfectly, just like the ED for Kimi ni Todoke and first ED for Letter Bee. TWO EPISODES LEFT!!! NOOOOOOO! |
 |
| This was so good I cried. I can't believe only 2 more episodes ... how will they every tie everything together for the end? I love the ED, but this time it made me cry. Wow I am emotional after this episode. |
 |
| she's finally maturing and becoming a star :D Omgosh there need to be more eps though |
 |
| Just watched it for the 5th time. This is to me one of the landmark episodes of anime ever. Ever. |
|
| Six. (Starting from the rehearsal) |
|
| mushookees, welcome! Fantastic first post. You're right, Nodame is running, into the music which she now understands by facing it head-on. Oh, and... seven. |
|
| Eight. Why is there not an > 9000 option on the poll? |
|
| Nine. Love the cloth rustling just before the performance. Sweet effect. And Nodame's legs in the air, just before shooting Chiaki down. Well, that's what it is. And damn fine legs they are. |
|
| doki doki, for the whole concert... and this feeling won't go away! amazing... |
 |
| Ten. And I don't care if Nodame walks out like she's Leni Reifenstahl. It's about Chopin... and his leaving of Warsaw.... Which reminds me... A Polish immigrant went to the DMV to apply for a driver's license. First, of course, he had to take an eye sight test. The optician showed him a card with the letters 'C Z W I X N O S T A C Z.' 'Can you read this?' the optician asked. The Polish immigrant replied... 'Read it? I know the guy.' |

| Sugoi! I've been waiting for this to be animated since I read the manga. Back then though, we had to wait an indefinite amount of time for the next chapter because Ninomiya sensei was sick. It was a painful wait. At least, we only have to wait a week for the next episode. |

| Nice episode...but I really want to see them together again and Nodame should at least finish up school. Too bad this show is almost over. |
| OMFG. I can not wait for the next episode. I nearly died and cried at the same time. !!! |
     |
| Im super curious how its all going to end... This was one of the best episodes ever =D |
| awesome performance nodame!! |
