Lol those that want their love triangle might just be in for a good show now. Looking forward to Orchestra A's + Chiaki + Milch's performance. Orchestra S was pretty good.

Hahahaha! Nodame is just so funny with that costume on! This has been one of the most amusing episodes so far. And Saiko came back... I totally forgot about her.

Is it just me or does anyone else feel the urge to give Nodame a big hug?

Anywho, pretty good. I'm not even really a fan of Rhapsody in Blue but that was enjoyable.

Can't wait to see Chiaki perform.
Such junk...

The performance was wonderful~ I feared something might not go well because Okochi was directing… But everything worked out perfectly.
I loved everyone’s costumes ♥ Nodame’s mongoose outfit looked so cuddly and fluffy~

Let’s see how the A Orchestra + Stresemann + Chiaki combo will do.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

ROFL, Nodame in huggable mongoose costume ^__^

The performance was great, but Rhapsody in Blue definitely needs solo clarinet at the start :)

Looking forward to Chiaki's performance.

Orchestra S perfomance was very good it was kinda funky and Nodame was so cute in that costume ^^

I certainly need to point out that the concert scenes need more hand movement..it just feel like they could have more impact and energy if all the hands were moving while playing, though some of the CG is good. well thats my opinion.

I dunno why but i feel Chiaki's performance would best this one

Kyaaa~! Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue was amazing :) That was a great great performance. Loved the pianicas :D

Also, I literally cannot wait for Rachmaninov's 2nd. That is my favorite piano concerto of ALL time. Especially the 2nd movement, Adagio Sostenuto... So exquisite and beautiful, I can't wait till Chiaki plays it. Hopefully he does it with lots of emotion :) Romantic Era pieces need their rubato and dynamics ;) My favorite performance of it is probably Van Cliburn, although I have other favorites. Idk what pianist does the piano performances for Nodame Cantabile, but I hope they do well with the Rachmaninov! :) It's a beautiful piano concerto...

Orchestra S performing Rhapsody in Blue wearing Japanese clothes was OK! Even Nodame with her standout costume was all right (that guy playing the big drums is another story...)

So the old pervert is leaving Japan! Will be interesting to see where the storyline goes.

Orchestra S was really good and im now looking forward to orchestra A. I hope Chiaki won't get together with Saiko, but he probably won't, and Milch is leaving!? :c I was starting to like him now. He'll probably return later thought :) another great episode.

Have I sad that Nodame is the best before? XD This whole show is so informative.

He could tell it is nodame, such a married couple :p Once again, Nodame performed off-screen behind a costume. When is everyone gonna realize her potential... hmm... Amazing performance yet again.

That episode was so fuckin' good. The performance of the orchestra S was just awesome. The fact that were almost all in Kimono except for Nodame and the transsexual guy (forgot his name).

The story about mongoose was so hilarious xD

So that Maki has a crush on Mine :P

That old jiji will leave after that next episode... Dang, I started to like him...

I'm really hyped for the next episode. The part Chiaki played on the piano was so fucking good, I expect the same from the whole partition.

Surprised to find that Maki likes Mine.

Their version of Rhapsody in Blue was pretty cool although I personally didn't like the ending parts of it.

The mongoose was cute.

Saiko pls, you had your chance.

That was a bit of an odd yet interesting performance. Also, I wonder what's gonna happen once Milch leaves. Gonna be sad to see him go, he's become a pretty entertaining character to watch each episode xD

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!

Nodame in the costume just fits her so damn well omg lmaoo.

As much as I claimed I don't like Stressmen i'd hate to see him go .. He just added the extra flavor this anime needed.

I think that was the first full performance we got. I thought this serious would be much more serious and have more full performances when I started so it's nice to get one. It's shame the animation is so mediocre for this series. Every performance is just an extended slideshow.
