| Wow, beautiful ending! i also got teary. 10/10 for me! |
| I was captivated from the very first episode and a good ending to the series as well. The episodes had consistently high quality. This is going to my favourites, 10/10. However, I think that if I disliked classical music, this series would not be that great. Particularly towards the end of the series we get long passages of orchestral/piano music in each episode with less plot development, the supporting characters' roles becoming much smaller etc. There were quite a few times when Chiaki and other characters were just being jerks, then again I thought that part was actually quite realistic. Nevertheless, it was an immensely enjoyable series with a great use of music to create and enhance drama. |
| The ending is one of the most beautiful moments I've ever seen in anime. |

 |
| A hug with a sparkling sunset in the background. nice. fitting end to a fantastic series. |
| The anime was a 8/10 until I watched this episode. I had no choice but to bump the score up to a 9/10 after seeing how perfectly the finale was executed. |
| That hug <333333333 The music in this anime was fantastic! Really loved the series. |
| Great series tbh. Loved the hug @ the end and Chiaki's urge for Nodome to play the piano even better. Too bad her Father saw that XD Time to watch Season 2 now tbh. 8/10 for first season. |
 |
| even after rewatching this twice.. i can still forget the ending. its so cute and quite romantic |
"never regret anything, because at one point it was exactly what you wanted" |
| Loved that Nodame x Chiaki moment. Looking forward to the next season! Off to Paris! >:D |
 |
| Great anime. I really enjoyed watching it. I am definitely look forward to the next season. Over all 8-9/10. |
| "When life gives you lemons, make orange juice, then sit back and watch the world wonder how you did it." |
| What a show. Straight 10. The benefit of finding a gem late...I'm going to Paris immediately! hehe |
| Amazing! And the ending was nice. I'll make sure to watch the next season as well. Overall score 10/10 |
 |
| WHAT???? NO KISS SCENE OR LOVE CONFESSION. THAT'S IT THIS IS GETTING A 1/10. |
 |
| what a great ending :) especially when chiaki hugged nodame ^^ |
| ~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.~  |
| Dat hug at the end. Anyway, this cartoon was fun to watch and especially to listen to so I'll give a generous 7/10 |

| how a lovely final episode! i really like this anime story and songs. Chiaki x Nodame, this is i've been waiting for. I like how Chiaki express his love undirectly. this makes me want more Nodame Cantabile. GO SEASON 2!!! :D |
| i lack on english but, i want to speak! |
| That ending was totally epic! Really sweet and a good way to end this first season! This show sure surprised me on how wonderful it actually is. In the end I really enjoyed it and I can't wait to see what happens in the next season. Up to the specials and than the next season! 9/10 |
 |
| I will repeat again what others said.. "Bravo!!" Such a lovely ending.. From a sweet scene then to a hilarious one.. So amusing.. XD And a very great choice to use the full OP as the ending.. Overall, very wonderful series.. You can't never go wrong with josei.. Enjoyed every bit of music here.. It really rekindled my interest for classical music.. I can't play any instruments though but watching this series makes me want to learn one.. Or even go to a music school.. :D And also, the comedy.. It surely cracked me up many times throughout the series.. It's been a while since I've seen a series with such a lively atmosphere..A 9 or 10 from me.. Time to continue the story with the specials and sequel. I want to see more Nodame!! |
| Really?! not even a kiss after 23 episodes?! wtf! |
 |
A great ending to an amazing series. The kind of beauty that you come to expect from this director. I wish this show just kept on going. I'm sure the 2 seasons after this will be great, but it's not this director's beautiful mind who is directing it, and they're only 11 episodes each. That's not enough. :( Keep pursuing your dreams! ~ Wynn |

| I didn't expect a kiss from Chiaki, but a hug in a beautiful place is just as good. A very satisfying ending to a good anime. |
 |
| The episode was so nostalgic with flashbacks and all... That performance was again awesome! No opening? I will miss it so much! :/ So it's Masumi x Noriyuki now? xD He was worried about her, so visited all the way to Kyushu and he is so desperate to go with her! Nodame sure is well-known among her neighbourhood for her piano. OTP moments, so so great! She has finally decided to study abroad, hell yeah! I will miss Mine and others but this is for the best of these two. Finally a hug, damn it...all the feels! Yes the full opening song, I was so so happy! This anime has taught me so so much. I barely knew anything about music but I have great interest in it. I studied what I could on internet, but this... taught me so much in mere 23 episodes with high enjoyment and great character as a bonus. Shinichi? She called him by his first name, woohoo! AMAZING ANIME, I am so glad my friend recommended it to me. It helped me a lot and I greatly enjoyed it! 10/10. If possible I wanted to give it 20/10 xD |
 |
| this episode was really awesome, poll result show it as well, wow i never seen a poll like this it show clearly how this ending show was, BRAVO, amazing, awesome |
| That was one of the best final episode I've seen. There was pretty much everything and every question that was left at the ending was answered in the generic. What to ask more? A second season of course! xD Beethoven... His symphony are always grandiose. He had such a unique sound and power... The sequence was also well executed. I'm not normally a fan of flashback, but it touching on this one. Same goes for the flashback Chiaki had in the plane. Nodame have finally got out of her lethargy and is back on the road! In the end, what she remembered was Schumann, one of my favorite :3 The trap Etou imagined to make Nodame check his texto was hilarious xD It was so fucking clever. The scene of their reunion was so amazingly adorable. I thought my heart was melting... And then the father shoot at them, I laughed my ass off :P When he called him son, I found it powerful. Even if they just met, he was grateful to him to have blossomed Nodame and made her regain confidence in herself. I hope the talk on the phone was foreshadowing when she said that they would play a concerto, her as the pianist and him as the maestro. The next season will be about their trip to Paris... Pretty fitting, the city of love :P |

| Found myself enjoying this much more than I thought I would. Excellent show so overall 9/10. |
| It took me 2 years since I first heard about this show before watching it for real. I spent hours to marathon it in one night simply because I didn't want to stop and it was worth it since the ending was so perfect. |
| Bravo! *clap* One of the best rom-coms I've watched. |

| Great anime! Megumi the best charcter! GYABOOO! MOOKYA! So funny lol |
| In every score, there's a feeling... |
| I was getting all giddy when Chiaki was catching up with Nodame and when he actually hugged her...fsdfhgfhfd!! It's official now! I loved seeing all the characters grow in this anime and the music was always awesome. Definitely going to check out the 2nd and 3rd season. 10/10 |
| Well a decent ending to what has been a pretty decent series. Would've liked it more if I was a fan of classical music. Also the supporting characters were a mixed bag. The romance felt a bit underdeveloped at times. The comedy didn't exactly had me laughing loud. Overall, a good anime but was expecting a lot more since it was from the director of HnC. 7/10 |

| Love the anime |
  |
| That was probably a very good ending for this season. It shows how they are finally moving on from their student days and into their graduate careers. That chisakixnodame moment at the end was so sweet... Until the dad cockblocked him. ==" Nevertheless, i look foward to the paris season ^^ |
 |
| Truly lovely series and when Chiaki hugged Nodame at the end was just icing on the cake. Great comedy and spectacular music, on to the second season :) |
 |
| An excellent series, but an emotionally underwhelming conclusion. The character development was particularly well done: change was slow and subtle, but noticeable throughout. Fun right from the get-go, and incredibly engaging from roughly episode 13 onwards. Didn't hit any emotional triggers, unfortunately, but it definitely could have if they upped the drama because the characters are great |
| ^ Are you going to watch the second season and third? Because those definitely pull off the "emotional trigger" things. |
| Whoooooaaaa incredible!!! My reaction towards my friends: kyaboooo TuT Such a wonderful ending! Ayeayeayeayeayaayeayae love is truly something ;u; How cute awwweeeee *doge face* aisakldhfakshd (heart) d'awwww *sparkle sparkle* |
| I liked the show very much. In my opinion, they should have made the comedy aspect smaller, but they still focused the music aspect very much, which was quite interesting. The characters psychology was another great thing about the show. Its a bit sad they only went into their depth very late into the show, which made me think this will only be a comedy show at first. For me they didnt succed to make Nodame any likeable, which made me not care about her a bit. (but whatever.. the show was about music anyways^^) The ending was quite surprising.. i thought they would end it, but to make a kinda cliffhanger there for the second season.. who would have thought of that one. |
