My memory fails me, but I don't remember that oboe player or I just didn't pay that much attention to him. Whatever.

The fight - WIN. I though that passerby's might call the police when Chiaki demonstrated some of his fabulous attacks on her (domestic abuse, much? lol), but Nodame's freaking jump up high up into the air got me laughing with tears in my eyes. They never fail to amaze me.

Moreover, not to mention the inspiring speech 'who's got to be the front of the donkey' by Nodame ! And yeah, she succeeded to steal the performance by default with her original 'congratulations' dance.

So much win in this episode. The romance is in full bloom now.

up to this episode it was as good as the first season, but now i seriously started to think that it might just surpassed it already XD I lmao the whole episode, and if this season keeps it up, it's definietly gonna steal a spot in my fave list ^^

I wanted to hear his oboe once more since i was amazed by the sound of it in the first season >.< But the fight scene made everyting up, it was awesome XD

Indeed, especially the people applauding afterwards. :D

Overall this wasn't the best episode of this season, but it was still good. Can't wait till next week.

was i the only one that was a bit confused by the ending? didn't she say she was going to spend christmas with him? why was Chiaki acting like she hadn't come home? or was he out wandering the streets looking for her on christmas day?

hope things get better for kuroki.

good episode overall

Best fight scene ever. It was supposed to be kind of serious, I know, but I was just cracking up when the people were all staring at them as they beat each other up xD

I don't remember oboe guy either ._.

Still disappointed they're not showing that much music in this season though =/

Ha ha I never thought I'd see a fight scene like that in an anime like Nodame Cantabile xD, it's just made of so much awesome ^_^

The oboe player is not someone I remember though @_@ so I'm with everyone else here, hopefully they'll recap him in next episode?

Wonderful episode!
I had to rate a 4/5 because it left out quite a few jokes, and hopped around a bit too much.
I agree though, the fight was definately full of win. Hehe.

More than that, Nodame Cantabile makes problems disappear ! Fantastic episode once again, we have a winner here for best anime of 2008 (well, the first season was the best of 2007 so it's not really surprising !) ;) And Ayako Kawasumi's performance in this episode was absolutely perfect too.

After a rather boring & slow first part with Kuroki (I don't remember him either, to be honest) Nodame and Chiaki kicked it up a notch with that completely awesome fight! One of the best fights in the history of anime in my opinion.

This season sure has a lot of awesome shows and Nodame is top 3 for me in no particular order with Kannagi and Kurozuka. And the Paris Chapter is already better than the original.

I didn't really recognize Kuroki either until his feelings towards Nodame were shown. Then it was like "Ooooo yeahh, he's that oboe dude who liked Nodame..."

Really funny episode. Didn't really follow the manga, some scenes where cut and some where added. Nodame was hilarious at the end tho:

LOL Oh my, what the hell was that XDD That was the most absurd and hilarious fight ever.

Nodame says she's always serious, but... I don't really feel that in her. It's just like her teacher said, what is she really doing there? Comparing her relation with music with her relation with Chiaki, just like he himself does, what exactly is she looking for? Does she just want to cling to him forever? Where's the actual relationship from her side? I love seeing Chiaki growing to understand himself more, and I can't wait to see the same for Nodame. I felt really bad for Chiaki there. He really is trying.

That was hilarious. I loved the strange donkey dance "Oo-me-de-to-go-zai-ma-su!"
And the lovers quarrel was hilarious as well. No one dumps Nodame. I didn't realise who Kuroki was for a while, then I remembered he's the oboeist.

Poor, Kuroki is sulking and growing mushrooms in the corner, because nobody remembers him and he's just a side homo character (I couldn't help it. I just had to add something from Ouran) XD

This episode was actually really good. If they keep this up, I might forgive them for the horrible butchering they did in the previous episodes..but I doubt that. Oh well, they did an awesome job with the fight scene, it was hilarious. =P

Laughed out loud at some parts, quite the funny episode. But I still don't like the fast pace, nor the lack of music performances.

Lacking, but still very good.

Wh... what just happened? Drama, then suddenly... a fight... then drama again. I didn't know whether to take that scene seriously or not. I think it's moving way too fast... they only became a couple one episode ago. Still... I'm really liking the second season, but it has nearly completely lost the feeling and vibe the first series built up. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? A bit of both really... This season is a lot more romance than music, when it was the other way around in the first season. I want to see another amazing performance again.

All that aside, it was nice to see Kuroki again! I think he's a pretty cool character, and I liked him in the first season.

Other than that I would like them to focus more on Nodame and her piano, im a bit tired of Chiki-kun this, Chiaki-kun that... OH! How great Chiaki-san. The final scene where they were holding hands was great though.

I have to agree of course, the lovers' quarrel was hilarious. Nice martial arts skills haha at first I thought it would just be Nodame kicking Chiaki's ass and that he wouldn't fight back....I guess I had just forgotten how Chiaki really is. Of course he would knock her down as well lol

and I really liked Kuroki (Mr. Oboe Player), he's fun too :D
