Masumi kinda disgusts me. She's a girl, and she has the point-of-view of a girl, but wears an afro and men's clothes!! I hope that mustache on her face ain't real xD she's fun though...
EDIT: Never mind xD lol im slow at figuring things out

That gay dude was godamn annoying, this reminds of Honey & Clover where you have annoying and caricatural characters that play the role of clown but are not funny at all and more annoying than anything else.
Kasai Kenichi, good job at making unfunny jokes, throwing annoying clown characters and homophobic stereotypes on top of it. You're really a pro for that.

Hmmm, this is turning into some sort of bizarre love triangle?
*Chiaki -> Piano
*Nodame -> Chiaki
*Mine -> Nodame
*Masumi -> Chiaki

Love stinks, yeah yeah?

Anyway, pretty entertaining episode.
Such junk...

Lovely~ It was a really funny episode.

Masumi was quite the weirdo, but she(?)’s a nice character~ The dancing timpanist~

This handles the less serious parts better than Honey and Clover so far.

Don't really like Masumi :/ however everything else is great and it was still a good episode :)

and Masumi is a dude, they said "he swings that way" when nodame commented that chiaki is a guy if anyone is still uncertain ^^

Glad I'm not the only one who dislikes Matsumi. Extremely annoying and not funny at all. This was a disappointing episode because of the gay stuff, trying to be pawned off as comedic, but it was just stupid in my opinion. It detracted from the touching budding romance between Chi and Nodame. I'll continue to watch episodes, but if Matsumi is a regular, I may end up dropping this series.

Masumi is annoying as hell, harrassing like that. I don't care what his/her gender is, people who harrass are annoying.

Nodame's original sound effects are so funny xD

Wow, that timpanist was hilarious xD
Such a drama queen.

People who say that it was not funny because it was an homophobic stereoptype or that harrassing is bad need to chill out a bit. It's a comedy, it will always contain stereotype and in this context, it was overly exaggerated. If you are homosexual and are offended by this character, it might be because you have a complex. We all know that harrassing is bad, but in that context, even if in real life, everyone would be mad, Nodame naivety make it just cute.

So in the end, no one won the contest. Well, two weirdos doing a love contest can't really lead anywhere :P
That concert was so stupid xD

That practice at the end was cute. I think I'll remember the No-dummy one x)

The sounds Nodame makes when she reacts to something are getting kinda overused imo. Masumi is a funny character though it pissed me off how he was harassing Nodame. Another good episode nonetheless.

Awesome episode ... Another nutcase joins the party ....
There’s no hope on the battlefield.
It has nothing but unspeakable despair.
Just a crime we call victory, paid for by the pain of the defeated.
Yet humanity has never recognized this truth.
And the reason for that is, in every era,
a dazzling hero has blinded people with their legends and prevented them from seeing the evil of bloodshed.
The true nature of humanity has not advanced a step beyond the Stone Age!
