I take back what I said about the last episode, this season is back to the same level as the previous season. Of course the drama is better, I encourage everyone to watch it, but this is good to watch first. I watch the anime first and then the drama with my friend because I know the drama ruins the anime, but the anime doesn't ruin the drama.

The CGI looks quite odd, but it’s better than the still shots the first season had. It adds up to the liveliness of certain pieces, especially with Katahira’s conducting.

It’s a shame they crammed all the competition on a sole episode, I wanted to watch the full performances, and of course, first and foremost, Chiaki’s. I was so happy when he won the first place~

The D-cup demon appears again!

About time, too..

I liked the new animation style, finally we see the conductors actually conducting. Boo for not showing Chiaki's final concert, though. And I found Chiaki's ability to spot the bra size from that distance more impressive than the size itself :]

Liking the second season very much so far. I just finished watching the first, and this one feels slightly different, but not worse. New, fresh scenes and people, but I feel really at home with the main characters, so I'd say there was no drop in quality or enjoyment. Relationship development seems promising, too. 8) Hope this season stays that good.

I was a little disappointed that it skipped right over Chiaki conducting that last Tchaikovsky piece. It seems kind of an important thing to leave out.

But nevertheless, I love the original series and thus far I love the sequel. Gyabo~! ♥

Lots of people are surprise shes a D. Last season she was considered the "D-Cup Demon" for an episode briefly (some where in the written annotations).

You all better have appreciated the improvement in animation this season.
The orchestra conductors are animated this episode unlike last season where it was almost all still frames.

Damn good going Nodame, great pick and well by that you made him win first place! Great job Nodame, you're really cute :3 But what I did notice is that it currently is more around Chiaki than Nodame now, hmm perhaps some new development here finally?

I am really enjoying the new direction that they have gone with the animation in this season. We no longer have those annoyingly long panning still shots during the conducting, instead we have constant fluid motion and it really does wonders for the overall presentation.

Also, watching Nodame being Nodame never gets old.


This.. The orchestra is already in fully animated..

The otaku train!!!!! This anime makes me laugh so hard!! XDDD

I felt really bad for Chiaki but that's why I like this anime so much!!! It's just so realistic!!! Can't help falling in love with it!!!!

Phahaha, the way Chiaki takes Nodame as his drinking buddy is just too funny! :D Poor girl!!!

"A really dark, insidious one then, just like Senpai!!!!" - Nodame <------made my day!!! :DDD

They both like to drink, don't they?!!! Too bad they never get to be drunk at the same time!!! =__=''' That hug was adorable!!!! x'333333 MORE PLEASE~~~

Yay! Good job Chiaki! :D
I hope he see Viella soon, I'm sure it will be an emotive encounter, even for our tsundere Chiaki :P

I would have loved to hear a bit of that Tchaikovsky though... Too bad, time to head to youtube!

That hug at the end was cute :3
But damnit Chiaki, just stop being a tsundere and kiss her already! xD

In the end he really used the anime lucky charm she gave him :)

That other guy, Jean was pretty cool. And that other japanese was so fucking awesome with his way of directing his orchestra! :D

If I'm not wrong, the glasses lady at the end is Stresemann secretary, right? Also, from the preview, it look like Stresemann will be back to harass Nodame even more, hell yeah ;)

Anyway, that was a great episode. I fucking love Nodame Cantabile and classical music, that's what I learned from this anime.

Katahira's conducting style was so energetic.
Jean seems like a nice character too but he should really lose that chick who always brags about him.

I really wanted to hear Chiaki conduct his last piece.

About the way this season handles the conducting and instrument animations...I personally like the panning and stills they did in the first season. It made you focus less on the screen and on the music. The stills and panning were drawn in a way that you could imagine the motions and energy in your head.

So far this is a huge step above the first part. The balance between "romance" and comedy is a lot more balanced, plot is moving faster...I like it a lot so far.

Another good episode. I liked seeing the conduction competition. The part about horn player getting angry when you tell em to play soft was hilarious. Wonder if they'll show Chiaki and Vienna's convo next episode. Excited !

I agree. I really liked to hear the orchestra playing the full piece (since I enjoyed the time in orchestra when I studied violin).

This makes me wonder, have Chiaki and Nodame actually not slept together even once? Chiaki's keen ears are too good honestly, even the orchestra got pissed off at him, hahaha. Chiaki won, I actually thought he might lose to that Jean guy, happy he won.

This episode was rushed for some reason but at least the direction during the conducting is better than season 1.
