Good decision to avoid fillers and stay faithful to the manga... although the pace is much faster than the first season...
Yeah, I like it this way better too.

Anyways, great episode, need next now~

lol at Chiaki for getting jealous/pissed at Paul during the soba eating moment ^^

The part where he bought the car was fucking hilarious, the black feathers perfected the scene.

i laughed at the part when jean wanted to buy the car and chiaki got in before he did. chiaki is being mean (and smart) as usual and when he walked away with black feathers floating, lol!!!

Another good and enjoyable episode of Nodame Cantabile. The Paul and Nodame interactions were the best.

For a musical anime its best to watch it not read... emphasizes the sounds. Anyway,

I like the way the designers let the wound on the cheek of Chiaki stay for a day

Funny scene was the car bargain... Jean compliments the test drive

i liked it, but i can feel the story being condensed. they're shoving a 26 episode story into 11 episodes and it shows.


Actually no, the anime is right on pace with the manga (maybe even a little slow). They cover about 2-3 chapters of manga story per episode, which is typical of manga to anime adaptations.

I've read the manga, twice, I stick by my earlier statement.

very entertaining episode, as always. one thing bugged me though: when was the "yaki-trio" formed? I'm trying to think back through previous eps, but it's been some time, so...anyone remeber when they first appeared?

in the manga, it was skipped in the anime. chapter 73, just after Chiaki was chosen to be Roux Martlet's new conductor but before he saw them perform for the first time.

I feel a little bad for Rui, I love when people like her mom that get put in their place. I guess Rui realized that she might have caused a slight issue? That was interesting...

Okay, Rui might not be that bad. Golden pair? Is it just me or Chiaki is getting more and more forward these days XD Nodame admits that Chiaki is her tsukkomi and she acts it up sometimes xD I love Nodame's quick music, makes me want to jump around. Chiaki was jealous, right? :p

Nodame's music has got the ring to it, I love it so much! That piece was beautiful along with the performance! She got a tres bian, yes! She sniffed him, lol. So Tanya is from Russia, I somehow didn't know xD I like Tanya x Frank somehow.

That new french guy is so weird. ''Why do you keep starting your phrase by «non»?!?'' xD

Chiaki took the initiative on his orchestra. What a shameless liar :P
I hope Kuroki can make it on the Marlet. He had a good chemistry with Chiaki.

Chiaki dreaming of doing a duo with Nodame, so cute :3

Nodame still playing piano randomly, but it pleased the judge. In fact, it's probably the main reason Auclair choosed her.

Paul and Nodame are hilarious together!

I hope Kuroki and Paul join the orchestra.

I wonder what the significance of Nodame falling into the pond was. Rui was coming back to apologize and then she hears Nodame's piano and then she remembers that. Weird.

Yakitorio is perfect <3 Glad that Chiaki's somehow trying to manage his orchestra, hope Kuroki gets in!

Beginning of this episode made me just feel bad for Rui, her mom's a walking strick Asian mother stereotype :/ No wonder she wanted to get out from this environment, even if just for a bit...

Cooperating with that orchestra is seriously impossible, Chiaki really does have nerves of steel. Interesting choice by Nodame.

Wow, I can't believe I got two relatively specific references.

I'm sure the Sorcerer's Apprentice part wasn't an allusion to Disney Fantasia, lol, which is where I recognize the orchestral piece and broom theme from. I looked it up and Disney adapted that story from actual historic literature. Still, I understand would Chiaki was referring to.

Chiaki also mentioned Carnegie Hall in the United States. I was there a few times growing up. I guess famous concert venues would be well-known to those in the niche industry of orchestral music -- but still, it's incredible how a venue like that is apparent to folks all the way in Japan, and is even getting referenced in anime.


Also -- I don't know why -- I usually don't audibly chuckle at anime, even at "comedy" slice-of-lifes. Maybe it's the more mature "Josei" humor, and because it's a bit more grounded in reality, but this anime actually makes me grin at times.

Like the oboeist cracking up at Paul's family. Or when Chiaki stole the car from Jean. I don't know why I laughed so hard at that.
