| Good episode, though Brahms was shorter than I thought. I just loved how Nodame brainwashed Chiaki into going to Hokkaido and get her food. Nodame's Schubert was cool too. Looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| Good episode, but a little sad, too. Nodame seems depressed. I'm confused about that last little frame at the end. Harisen wonders what Chiaki will do next and then there's a shot of him with his family? Not sure what to make of that. :/ |

| Superb episode. Nodame is a very, very nice friend to have. 5 more episodes left....DAMNIT! :( |

Didn't he say something about him kinda "fighting" the hypnosis earlier, not letting it happen. and well, nodame is just <3 and a nice friend/"wife" =D |
| great episode. i loved how nodame hypnotized him.... and how she told him to get the crabs and such. she really does love him soo much and its adorable. and can i say that thank god nodame is FINALLY getting more piano screentime. her lizst was just amazing and intense and so very indescribable i loved it. i'm really excited to see her perform in the concours. |

Harisen wonders what Chiaki will do next and then there's a shot of him with his family? Not sure what to make of that. :/ That shot was a picture of Chiaki's family celebrating that he is able to fly now (or ride an airplane). Remember his cousin inviting him to go home already and celebrate in the house. That's the picture. Well, I never thought that the piece that Nodame is superb will be from Lizst. I thought it would be Etude of Chopin, because that's the one in the live-action story. Hahaha! |

Looking forward to seeing her perform that in the concours. Nodame is so cute with the hypnotism thing.... the look on her face when she realised that Chiaki brought the crab... kawaii. I don't really want this to end, especially when the second series hasn't started in japan :'( |
 |
| that was an horrible memory. but thanks of nodame chaki can fly again |
| amazingly good episode.... |

| Awww Nodame is so cute and sweet... She really loves him so much! It touched my heart :D |
     |
| Chiaki's unknown, unwavering determination to buy crabs and souvenirs. That was great. |
| I finished Nodame Cantabile a few weeks ago now but I have to come back here to express my love for this episode! The opening performance was amazing! Brahms wasn't as good as Rachmaninoff in episode 11, but it touched my heart once again, and when Nodame started crying I just wanted to cry along with her. I feel for her, she wants Chiaki to be able to follow his dream and travel abroad and she wants to be there with him, she deserves it! I'm so glad shes now determined and is motivated to play. The fact that she cured Chiaki of his fear of flying was so heartwarming as well, and the story of why Chiaki is scared of flying was actually a very sad one. I have to admit I teared up a bit. That poor old man... it really allows you to understand what Chiaki went through and you're able to sympathise with him so easily, which is actually what a lot of other series tend to fail at so often. A fantastic episode, and another reminder of why this anime is one of the best. |

| woah!! that hypnotism really worked!! is that why she was crying at the end of that concerto??? everybody was clapping while she was crying... i was thinking that she was just so touched, maybe she decided that chiaki was too good to just stay in japan so he had to leave for europe so she decided it was goodbye and to hypnotize him.. maybe that's why she was crying in her seat at the end... hmmm.. anyway... at least the hypnotism worked.. plus she's got a lot of souvenirs... but i wonder what prompted her to join the competition? DONT TELL ME? she wants to win and go with chiaki to study abroad too?!?!?! hahaha.. :p |
| Nodame <333 Can't believe she fixed Chiaki's fears of flying. Crabs and sea urchins ftw! |
 |
| They didn't save the best.. I mean the last was very short. Wtf.."please buy lots of crabs for Nodame, okay?' haha Haha the competition thing for Nodame.. Those crabs are really good.. I want some |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| This is kinda sad. Nodame does everything for Chiaki but he's oblivious to her affection. |
| Such junk... |
| Beautiful episode, I originally thought that Nodame had little more than a crush on Chiaki. But, these last few episodes have gone a long way to show me that her love is the real deal. The flashback was short, but heartbreaking. And the scene towards the end with Nodame smiling when she found out Chiaki has finally flown was great. Damn good stuff. |

| Awww, Nodame’s so sweet~ She really cares and loves Chiaki ♥ She used the hypnosis for the well-being of his future as a conductor… And now she’s motivated to play seriously because of the idea of going with him overseas. And the fact she didn’t forget to order him to buy souvenirs and crabs made me laugh really hard. I teared up when I saw Chiaki’s experience at the fly… It must’ve been really traumatic to be there… |
I think, then procrastinate. Therefore, I am. |
| Awww Nodame helping Chiaki was so nice and then again making him buy her crabs and gifts was very funny :D I was hoping for more Brahms (at least 3 more min..) I just love music anime :P |

the_pillows said: ...i find it ironic that a professional hypnotist couldn't cure chiaki's problems but a silly girl like nodame could...lol... and like everyone else said, i felt the brahms piece was a little short but still very amazing...i'm also looking forward to the next few episodes...considering i've seen the live action drama, nodame fans will be pleased with the upcoming eps...it also seems that the anime will end just at or a little bit after where the live action drama ended...i might have to pick up the manga if i want to know what happens afterwards... I think Nadame was able to hypnotize Chiaki because she is so silly and such. He knows that he is resistant to hypnotism and even if he want's it to work he still is familiar with it. But he doesn't know what to expect from Nodame and so he isn't pre-paired to resist her hypnotism. maybe. I might have to read the anime and watch the live action of this. i do not want something this beautiful to end. I don't know if I have ever had crabs but between this ep and Ouran High school Host Club think i will have to try them someday. Oh and poor Chiaki, I would be tramatized to. On that note Nadame just earned some points in my book. I think it was a huge sacrifice for her to take away Chiaki's fear of flying. Bravo Nadame. That was hard but really shows how much you love Chiaki |

| superb episode as always. Great development on both Chiaki and Nodame |
| Oh man, Nodame eating crab made me hungry. |
 |
| Didn't know that Chiaki had such a tragic story that he cant board a plain. At least he can now. Cant wait to see Nodame's play. |
 |
| Amazing episode this time. Loved the hypnosis scene. |
 |
| The brahms was good but too short :c Nodame is quite the hypnotist aswell xD lovely episode :) |
| ~If only sorrow could build a staircase, our tears could show the way. I would climb my way to heaven, and bring him back home again.~  |
| Nodame sure is dangerous with brainwashing but well at least she did managed to get Chiaki over his fear of flight! Good job Nodame, the ending was really sweet and funny 'flying celebration!' |
 |
| Can't believe Nodame's hypnotism worked.. She even made Chiaki buy crabs.. XD "YES HE CAN FLY!" - Ahaha.. I liked where's this going.. But it would be a hard decision for Chiaki to leave the orchestra. |
| The exclamation of "Bravo!" from the critic Ohkawa, was spine tingling. I believe that the hypnotism worked, not for the fact that he was focusing on an object, but it was Nodame's voice that made it work. Her voice has a calm effect to him whether he knows it or not. He always seems calmer around her (When she's not aggravating him). What an amazing episode full of character, overcoming tribulations, and hope! Keep pursuing your dreams! ~ Wynn |

| Nodame is amazing, she recovered his fears! Chiaki is really kind but a complex person, his back-story was surprisngly sad.. Nodame is just so so great... I can't even explain it in words anymore. Chiaki you need to reconsider her, she really loves you... I love Nodame's hypnotism, she can make him do anything she wants with that watch xD I loved her Lizst as well, like Harisen said. |
 |
| I would have loved to hear more of his Brahms :( It was an excellent episode though. As I thought, Nodame that healed his fear of plane. The hypnotizing scene was cute :3 It's great to see that Nodame is finally motivated. She can do it, go go go! |

| Nodame is the best girl ever! |
| The pros can't fix Chiaki's fear of flying but Nodame did it just like that and even manipulated him to buy her crabs and souvenirs haha. She's really amazing. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Nodame is such a good person. She did it even though it may mean him leaving her side. Pure love. Take the top Nodame. |
| Wow that was terrible. I expected they'd pull this from a few episodes earlier, but seriously, that's it? what a lazy way to solve the problem. Who cares about actual character development when you can have short-cuts like this? this isn't the first time this show solves serious problems with lazy and not so serious ways either (the poor girl in the first few episodes) and it doesn't work at all for me. How disappointing. I appreciated Nodame's selflessness in this episode at least. |
| Awwww, chisaki on the plane was cute ^^ |
 |
| Now that Chiaki's fear of flying is gone I wonder if he's planning on leaving Japan anytime soon. Though that would mean leaving Nodame behind D: |
 |
| Yay! Happy that Nodame's hypnotizing worked <3 Now Chiaki can flyyyy~ *I believe I can fly, I believe I can to--* sorry, getting carried away o3o How sweet of him to bring the crab over to the papaer-fan-smacker's house! :3 |
| nodame taking advantage of chiaki lol... |
| yay, chiaki can fly again! :D nodame made him buy crabs too haha. |
