Same opinion here

I like his new teacher saying dzen dzen damé (Not good at all...) when Nodame tries to show her skills.

Was I the only one who noticed the continuation of the D joke from episode 2? All those girls on the pictures Stresemann sent Nodame had their boobs marked as E and F :) Continuity jokes FTW!

This was another great episode, everything from the humor to the drama worked and it was very enjoyable. Let's all hope that Chiaki admits he likes Nodame before this season ends, that way everybody is happy!

I laughed so much at the tickling torture and the following signing of contract, I needed about five minutes to stop rolling around breathless from laughter :D

The rest of the episode was quite depressing IMO. The show really has loads of funny moments, but it's been mostly depressing for me, both S1 and this one. Chiaki needs to do something already >__< watching Nodame being like this is heartwrenching (but I guess he'll remain blissfully ignorant to his own feeling until midways through episode 11 or something dramatic like this)

Hmmm so there are some very good and mature themes in the second season of Nodame Cantabile, to keep up with the growth of Chiaki and Nodame and their respective developments. Very nicely done, and still the best series of the season for me. On another matter, the French language is completely off, every sentence seems to have been babelfished ;)

The ending is well pronounced for a Japanese singer...vraiment pas mal...au moins digne de mention....

Chiaki, are you starting to realize something, hehe? *shifty eyes*
Ugh, I really don't like Auclair-sensei's attitude, but oh well.

This episode had lots of manga material in it though. Seems like they're rushing things to get stuff done quicker. I wonder where are they gonna end the season?

Loll @ Milch's pictures. Nodame nekko-san wasn't even contacted, Chiaki no baka!! *runs away to room flailing arms then slams the door*

Love how these episodes feel really long with a lot of stuff going on, but hope they are not rushing to end this.

Seriously?? Need to rewatched that, D joke ftw

Aside from that, favorite moment from the episode was when Chiaki blushed and stammered while asking for a c-cute n-necklace =P
I guess we'll see that in the upcoming episode *__*
Ooh, I so can't wait...Chiaki x Nodame ♥

This is going by really, really fast. I can't really complain since I'm loving it so far, but I'm sure a manga reader, somewhere, is not pleased.

In any case, awesome episode. It's great to see Nodame at the piano again, and her new teacher seems like a great old man. His eyes are so cute XD

I liked the episode, but there's virtually nothing that can be done for me to hate an episode. That being said. With eight episodes left, I don't really know what they're trying to do. Prolong the will-they-won't-they status of Chiaki and Nodame when all signs were a yes at the end of the first series? I hope not.

AAA!! i did NOT notice that! i just watched it again--thanks for pointing out the contiued bra joke. XD it was one of my favorite moments! <3

i think my favorite part, though, would have to be at the five minute mark in the epi.
:D chiaki pulls off quite a psychotic laugh, LAWL.

During the first few episodes of the first season I didn't care for Stresseman too much. However, he grew on me, and now I'm definitely glad he is back. The absence he had in the first season was too much, on such a great character.

Loved the stammering Chiaki asking for a simple but cute necklace <3 It’s not every day he shows his weak self and we get to see it.

Admit your feelings already, man! We all know you can’t stop thinking about Nodame but are too proud or tsundere… to accept it.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

Great that Milch told Chiaki to separate his interest in Nodame as a musician from that as a man already (at least that's how I understood it). He really needs to get rid of that self-protective attitude.

Funny episode, though. Chiaki's face and laugh during the tickling torture was great, but I laughed most when Nodame's wig fell off. Had to play that scene again.

(And by the way, the German last season was horrible too :) )

I never thought too much about it but Chiaki's father isn't talked about too often. I hope we can get more background about their relationship.

That bitch, he doesn't even hug her knowing they won't see eachother for 3 months.
Then he doesn't contact her during those 3 months.
He doesn't get a ring.
He denies that she's his girlfriend.
He hugs another girl.

I love Elise's character. So Chiaki is ticklish xD Was that really Nodame, she looked beautiful! She is always beautiful though, but that was extra. They got separated :/ What's with Milhe, he is annoying me... He is buying a necklace for her :p

I love Nodame's piano though xD

That was one of the more serious eps where I felt really bad for Nodame!!! But I'm still hopeful that Chiaki will soon realize his true feelings and won't leave her hanging like that!!!

Btw, Nodame's sensei - Auclair-sensei, he seems like a nice guy and those eyes are just like the eyes of a super kind and sweet person!!! ^^ I hope I'm not wrong about it!!! ;333

Yeah, as soon as I saw that Nodame was about to play Rui melody, I was sure M. Auclair wouldn't be satisfied. He said that he wanted something that Nodame like to play and she didn't took that in count.

Damn Stresemann, teasing Nodame like that xD
But he's a great wingman, that old jiji :P
So Chiaki is already conquering the international scene. That was fast, but he have a direct acces to one of the best maestro out there, so that's understandable.

I always crack up when all the character are depressed and there's that gnossienne melody playing in the background xD

Come on Chiaki, even Stresemann told you to stop screwing around and declare yourself to Nodame.

I'm sure Nodame will have a lot of difficulty to keep the beat in that prestigious school. Her force lies in her hability to put life in the song she play, not in her technic. Those kind of school are really focused on the technic, but maybe she can change the mentallity of that school and open their view on more original artist.

Well the thing is Chiaki is lying to himself. He's telling Chiaki to stop half-assing shit and just admit that he likes Nodame.

Chiaki better have gotten a necklace if he didn't even get her the ring. He really has to think about how Nodame feels, but maybe Stresseman's advice to him this episode will help him to achieve that.
