| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- aaaaa... did anyone else almost die of laughter with the imagined scene of chiaki playing the celesta?? XD i swear i got a six pack from laughing so hard... this was a great episode. chiaki's starting a new challenge, nodame and chiaki are getting closer (AAAA, that scene!! the scene where nodame turned down the celesta role and chiaki notably was saddened by it!! aaaa...), and there's even hints of a love triangle with rui butting in... gah. this second season of nodame really is fantastic! does the manga absolute fantasmical justice! :D |
| that sun rui irritates me. anyway, quite like it when nodame introduces herself as chiaki's wife. and says 'anata' |

| his first act as conductor should have been to fire that concertmaster and promote someone else. anyone else would do since it was pretty obvious that he was the reason everyone else left and getting rid of him would have allowed them to quickly and easily fill out the orchestra again. i'm glad that Chiaki tried to do right by Nodame and reject Rui, i honestly didn't think he would. |

Totally agree with you there, it seems the concertmaster is the ringleader and major bully that chiaki needs to get pass as the hurdle for this series, and I have a feeling he'll get ova that hurdle and probably earn that concertmasters trust as well as get all of the new orchestra on a high level of play.... ...well thats what I'm forecasting as a conclusion anyways...*sigh* on 4 more eps to go...really wished they could have at least made it a 12 or 13 ep. series |
| rui is really starting to piss me off she took nodame's part and nodame was so happy too for a second there i thought nodame was gonna get pissed off but she didnt she let go but it was so funny when she said she was chiaki's wife and all the sparkely things around her lol Man i really dont want this to be over, i really think they should make it longer it will be so awesome if they make another season but who knows??????????? |
 |
| Am I the only here who likes Rui? What's not to love about her? The only thing I hated about this episode is how passive Nodame is. I mean, she shouted to Chiaki about how serious she's about him (not to mention used some domestic abuse on him) and now she's like backing down? If she really wanted to play with him, she'd said it more clearly and with more passion than pretending 'I'm okay' and all. What I'm trying to say that she lacks determination/motivation to move forward (even if she puts some effort to it) it's still not enough. It's not her 100%. She still doesn't deserve him. I love Chiaki when his in his 'dark prince' (lol) mode XD I adore his expressions and I'm gonna kill you aura. The concertmaster was annoying as hell and I was glad that didn't do as he was told to. I loved the scene where he's bowing down with the smile on his face even when the crowd laughed at the orchestra. |
| I like that there is a sens of comraderie between all the musicians as was prevalent in the first season. That was pretty much one of my fears, that the characters wouldn't be as engaging. I even grew to like Rui quite a bit at the beginning of the episode, and I liked seeing the concertmaster's softer side with Rui. It's a shame it will all be over in a few weeks. |
| Perfect episode as always, everything's in there, comedy, fun, drama, romance, complex themes developped lightly, and fantastic characters and music of course ! |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Go go Chiaki I know you can climb to the top =D, and I like Rui too O_O, well it's going to be interesting seeing what Chiaki will do to improve the orchestra in the next episode xD |
| Ahaha, Chiaki playing the celesta! So hilarious. |
| DieInHell: Read the atmosphere. Nodame is doing the adult thing and putting the orchestra's interests, that her "husband" cares about, ahead of her own desires. Rui brought a little happiness and possible an improved reputation to the orchestra. Even though I like Nodame more than Rui I could understand her reasons perfectly since she could not have contributed as much as Rui did. Chiaki was the one that was being silly. Anyway, great episode and now I feel we are getting close to end. Chiaki will probably make that orchestra good again and then this awesome season of Nodame will be over. I, for one, welcome our new... wait, am looking forward to it. |
| HAHAHHA the best bolero version I ever heard and the end was brilliant ^^ |

I can't hate her, but I never really liked chapters focusing on Rui. She might be Nodame's rival though, in the distant future. |

The problem is half of the orchestra look up to the concertmaster and would probably leave if he was fired. Chiaki is just trying to please everyone. I'm sure once the concertmaster warms up to Chiaki things will work out for the best. Rui is a bitch, you don't just accept something if your unsure what the other party has in mind or has already planned. When the office staff guy said "so your the person Chiaki called to play..." she should have said no, I'm just here to visit. It was clearly her fault for accepting the job and the office guy's fault for telling everyone without verifying with Chiaki first. That part pissed me off a lot but in a way it looks like it opened the concertmaster up a bit. |

She still doesn't deserve him. Why so critical on Nodame? =_= Just because her personality is like that doesn't mean she's not serious...And if it wasn't for her, Chiaki still wouldn't set foot outside of Japan. It's the little things that she did for him that matters, IMO. Although I sort of agree that she's not doing her 100%. kuroshiroi said: DieInHell: Read the atmosphere.

Although I don't think Chiaki was being silly, he'd feel bad since he's the one that asked her to do it in the 1st place, and then things had to happened like that..but it's awesome to see Nodame being mature about the whole thing, even though I feel sad since she was so happy to be able being on the same stage as Chiaki. About Rui, I think the anime make her out to be quite irritating. I don't remember being annoyed with her when I read the manga though. *shrugs* |
| yay for nodame and her 'wife' pose. despite his shortcomings, chiaki is a fair, honest (rude? lol!) person when he wanted nodame to perform the celesta eventhough son rui was there. another yay for chiaki! |

jacobpaige said: i'm glad that Chiaki tried to do right by Nodame and reject Rui, i honestly didn't think he would. Yeah, I'm glad that Chiaki is actually thinking about Nodame. In the first season he would have just forgotten about her in this situation! Also... "I'm Chiaki's wife." "GEH~! You're married!?" "Thank you for always taking care of my husband." Haha, I can never get enough of these Nodame wife moments. |

| Why so much Rui hate, I'm rather indifferent about her but the Orchestra was getting excited about her playing. I'm actually surprise that Nodame was so mature about it, realizing what was good for the crappy orchestra. |
| woah... poor nodame! she was supposed to be the one to play... oh well... |
| :/ Still no Nodame performance, sorry but this is failing for me in a very hardway, the focus too much on Chiaki's development when it actually should be on both. It really pisses me off the way the put Nodame in this series. Is almost like she is the one that is left behind. When she obviusly have so much talent. And what the fuck, Nodame was supposed to co-perform with Chiaki, not Rui, he still agreed with that, and too much comedy is ruining the plot. Oh /sighs. |
| The part were the redhaird girl said "No glasses today" |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| Hey, Chiaki actually tried to get Nodame back on stage, surprising. |
 |
| When Rui turned up to play the Celesta, I was terrified that Chiaki was going to turn down Nodame, but she actually gave it up.. Wow, really seemed like Nodame has matured a bit, and Chiaki obviously really cares about her :) |
| Nodame and Chiaki are getting closer.. :3 Time for some love... I hope. I want another kissing scene. And I wish it to be romantic. But I guess with Nodame's personality it would always be a comedy.. I never thought that I would really like this show. I'm glad I watched it. <3 |

| Awww, Nodame ;__; I feel bad, I wanted her to play the celesta… She seemed so excited to finally play with Chiaki… And then Rui gets her place. She accepted it maturely, knowing that it would be better for the orchestra if Rui played, and I was just a tiny bit surprised that Chiaki tried to rectify the misunderstanding. Of course, everything was fixed for me when Nodame began her wife act again~ That was one weird Boléro, really. The sound felt scattered all around. And I’ll rage fovever from now on since it was so effin’ short. |
I think, then procrastinate. Therefore, I am. |

 |
| Poor Chiaki starting from literally rock bottom, and getting booted by ballet girls. Although I really liked how he tried to stand up for Nodame, and how she was so selfless about it. That was a nice touch. Did anyone else notice how Chiaki was instructing the audience about "balance" right after Nodame fell into the pond. |

| Ugh poor Nodame ;; That was just sad. That said I don't blame Rui for it, and I generally like her. It was a misunderstanding, and the way everyone else reacted made it a pretty easy misunderstanding on her part. They all pretty much acted like it was definitely the case that Chiaki called her in, after all. But wow that was painful to watch. Poor Nodame. |
| Ich verstehe nicht |
| Nooo we didn't get to see Nodame perform with Chiaki! I'm disappoint. >:( |
 |
| Grrr~!!!!! Rui annoyed me so much >____< I wanted to like punch her. And that Theo guy, gosh. But Nodame was really sweet about it :) And so was Chiaki, he wanted Rui to get out so he could have Nodame. :3 So sweet! But.... I'm sure that Chiaki and Nodame will play together sometime this season. And it will be beautiful <3 And she won't be in such a minimal role like the celesta ^__^ |
| Didn't even know what a Celesta was. Not into classical music much. Nice episode though. |
 |
| When nodame turns into chiaki's wife it's really funny xD now lets see how his orchestra turns out! :) |
| ~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.~  |
| Would have prefered that Nodame would have played the piece, although the actions Chiaki took was pretty decent for his choice although it's sad Nodame didn't accept it in the end :/ The ending was pretty funny, lets see what's next! |
 |
| LOL nodame become a good housewife ! |
| i lack on english but, i want to speak! |
| Wife Nodame is always amusing... Laughed so hard when Chiaki called him.. Chiaki: "It's me." Nodame: "Please say it again." XD Though I really wanted them to play together.. But at least, Chiaki is concerned with Nodame.. |
| Not a fan of Rui so far... She fell xD Poor Nodame, I thought she could finally perform, with him :( That performance... was awful, but not Chiaki's fault at all. I am not fond of the concertmaster :/ |
 |
| Yeah!!! Guess Rui being so famous and good always helps her out but Nodame should have said something in the very beginning of it all!!! Nodame, you baka!!! She was too shocked I guess, can't blame her!!! T.T But Chiaki's reaction was really cute and he apologized to her - Kyyaaa!!!!!! ^^ |
| It was a great episode. I was so happy when Chiaki asked Nodame to play with him, but Rui out of nowhere! I guess she saved him a bit though, that old guy seem like a real problem. That intro at the concert was horrible, but it was better after, even if that gong really failed xD Anyway, that orchestra look so disorganized. Also, that manager is really bad. To come with the excuse ''I forgot'' for not having found musicians? Seriously, Chiaki said that he would kill him if he don't find anyone, I would have killed him right away. |
