| Yeah good ending.. can't wait for next season. |
 |
| The subbers are taking their sweet time subbing this one... |
 |
| Great ending to the second season, I'm anxiously waiting for the third season. |
 |
| ^ Yep i agree with u a little more music would have been awesome but i still loved this season. I cant wait till the next season. Chiaki was awesome!!!! |
 |
| Sweet ending, ended on a very nice note, wonder when 3rd season will begin, hoping for more music in the 3rd season though :3 |
| I thought this was a very satisfying second season. A lot of movement in the storyline, especially in the development of Nodame and Chiaki's relatiionship. Higedanshaku 髭男爵 (The Bearded Barons) were back again in a very brief cameo! Just before the two older women are talking in the lobby, prior to the performance, you can see the two of them sitting at a table in the background. Their cameos really give me a giggle. XD |
| <---made of awesome! |
| Loved this season! It had so much development, both in Nodame and Chiaki's relationship and in their personality. Really looking forward to the third season. |
| Three last episodes were very good, just like eps from season 1. The last episode - good, but not as good as the last episode should be, not mention that the third season will be reliesed in fall 2009 ;/ I'm totally disappointed. |
 |
| Wow, such a great series Very sad to see it end It was a heart warming ending, kind of showing Tanya's feelings more, too bad it didn't focus more on Nodame and Chiaki when they kissed <3 Can't wait for the next season, going to be ages =[ Nodame <3 |
 |
| The perfect ending for one of the best shows this seasons. It gave some closure for some of the conflicts, while it also left me with anticipation for the next season. I was really happy to see the concertmaster and Chiaki actually working together for once. Also is something blooming between Tanya and Kuroki...? Also in this season I felt Nodame's character really grew as a person making her even more attractive (and cute) then before. I can't wait for the next season (Fall next year??? Despair >_< ), but I do hope that: 1. They make it a 24 episode season 2. They will include alot more music  |

| I want more Nodame T_T |

 |
| Why do people keep complaining about there being not enough music this series? I'm pretty sure Nodame isn't ALL music (and humor) in the manga either although I haven't read, and this arc seemed to be meant to establish the characters living in Paris and define their relationships to each other. This season did a GREAT job. It wasn't as split-your-gut-laughing funny, there wasn't as much music (but I'm glad they didn't blow the production budget on big orchestra and piano scenes and instead spread it out throughout all aspects of the anime), BUT we saw way more development between of Chiaki and Nodame's relationship in these eleven episodes than we saw in twice as many episodes in the first series. And there was some GREAT music moments, like the conductor competition at the start, Nodame's recital, and Chiaki's first performance with Marlet at the end! My only real complaint about this series was that the OP theme sucked. Bring back SUEMITSU & THE SUEMITH! |
| <---made of awesome! |
| What a cute series. :) Can't wait for the new one! |

| The ending was so touching when suddenly everyone shouted bravo and clapped T_T can't wait for another season of nodame cantabile, and hopefully i'll get to see more of nodame's piano :D |
 |
| I actually watched this series before the first one and found this to be an amazing show. I do hope they make a 3rd series in the future. Nodame is such a funny and amazing person, I wanna see more of her. |

| I love Nodame, but I just couldn't love this episode. I really liked it, but this very much felt rushed. If they had extended the episode by maybe 15 minutes so we could get ease into a couple of the allegiances, and the auditions, and the rehearsal, and the performance. I just wanted more, and this wasn't a big payoff at all. With that said, for an 11 episode season, Paris Hen managed to introduce a lot of characters, and tell a pretty good story, and solidfy Chiaki and Nodame's relationship. Somewhere between an 8 and a 9 for me. Can't wait till next year! |
| Great episode and did a good job to how it ended this season ^_^ looking forward to season 3 |

| it was so touching... i couldn't help tearing...he's finally turned it around...sigh.. 1 year of wait coming... |
 |
| Awh, it's over! D: Not a bad episode, but does feel like it was rushed...? Anyways, the whole season overall wasn't bad, lots of good scenes with NodamexChiaki love. :3 Time to wait 'till Fall for the third season ~ It's too long~ ;_; |
| I think i'm going to give it an 8/10. It wasn't nearly as good as the first series, but it was still good. |

| *tears* beautiful. 10/10 just like the 1st season. |
| Beautiful. 10/10. |
     |
| Nicely done. Love the little girl part (dark Chiaki) can't wait till next season (northern autumn appartently) |
| 9/10 Nice ending but rushed just like the whole season :/ Season 3 yay! |
 |
| Man this can go on and on, can't wait for more. 10/10 |
 |
| great series. i just can't wait for next season:D |
| I couldn't resist my tear flowing out when Nodame played the Mozart at the castle and at the last episode when Chiaki's orche finished the song. I hope they get more budget for the next season (or whatever the reason why they resulted in only eleven episodes) and make it into a 24 episodes season. |
 |
| The ending of this season was not as funny as the first season, but the development of Chiaki and Nodame' s relationship is very nice. |
 |
| 9/10 Can't wait for third season. |
| Was that the first time she called him Shin'ichi? |
| Well my only complaint is that they did not develop yunlong's character enuf!! But overall, it's a wonderful feel good anime and watching Nodame and Chiaki grow is so much fun!! Hurray for Season 3!!!!! |
 |
| i didnt know what would be come out of this season in paris, i wasnt expecting too much and it wasnt as good as the first season but that doesnt mean it was bad either. ive liked it because it wasnt just a rushed 2nd season but it could have had more musical parts and i wished for more romance(because paris is called the city of love, if iam not mistaken?)... overall, this season was pretty good too, it couldnt keep up with the first one but wasnt bad at all! at the end i thought that they had more then enough stuff to do 23eps again but the squeezed all this in 11eps... the 3rd season definitly needs to have atleast 23 episodes again because this series is just awesome! go nodameXchiaki go :3 |
| Wah~! That was too fast, it's finished already!? I can't say I loved this season as much as the first, but it was still fantastic. I felt it moved a little too fast at some points, and I'm a little disappointed that Chiaki never even spoke to Vieira-sensei, whom he talked about a lot in the first season. I was also hoping that some of the main supporting characters from the fist season would make an appearence as well, but only Kuroki did. He's an awesome character though, so I'm happy he was there even if it was just him. It's very nice to see Chiaki and Nodame in an actual relationship as well, and both sides actually caring for each other. Very heartwarming! I was surprised by the amount of romance and comedy as aposed to drama in this series, theres just as much as there is music. It was also great to see so much movement in the animation during the performances this time 'round, when it was just still frames before. Unfortunately, none of the performances in Paris Chapter came close to topping the ones in the first season, especially the one in episode 11 (of the first season), despite the advancement in animation. Although having topped any of those episodes really would have been a feat. It's simply not possible! Nodame's recital was beautiful, however. It's what I had been waiting to hear. Everything was simply excellent, I can't really think of an actual bad thing about the series, but I don't know if I can bring myself to give this season a ten out of ten. It just simply wasn't as good as the first season, which was beyond perfection! But I still absoutely loved this season, so a nine out of ten seems fair. Bring on season three! |

| Perhaps not as good as the first season, but this season was still very good. And the last episode was a nice wrap up, I'm glad that there is a third season. It was good to see the orchestra coming together and getting a standing ovation. I like the progress that Kuroki and Tanya made also. For the series I give a 9/10. |
| Finally, I managed to catch up with this series. I am forced to switch to another source due to the fact that the previous group that I'm following were just too slow for me to comprehend. Anyway, I feel that this series is a little bit rushed as compared to the first season. Probably, it's because the series is limited to 11 episodes. It could have been more better if it has more. I gave this show a final score of 8. It's actually one of my top picks last year because I was impressed by its prequel. As always, this show has a good story, a lot of character development, and comedy. Definitely, a must watch show if you completed the first season. I can't wait for the third season to be aired this fall 2009. |

DeathfireD said: i did that too but then around episode 7 i finally realized that this was the 2nd season. argh. so i stopped and then watched a marathon of the 1st season and now was finally able to finish the 2nd! woo!!I actually watched this series before the first one and found this to be an amazing show. Predseln said: heee YES!!go nodameXchiaki go :3 Touka said: yeah i was wondering about that too.

Touka said: yes it annoyed me during the 1st season that they were just still frames. much much better the 2nd season! maybe that's why it was only 11 episodes long? because they spent a lot of money on the wonderful animation for the concert scenes? hmm... I also agree that this deserves a 10 but just the fact that the 1st season was better, i have to give this one a 9. It was also great to see so much movement in the animation during the performances this time 'round, when it was just still frames before.

I'M READY FOR SEASON THREE!!!! |

| waaa! can't believe its over!!! i liked this.. though i liked the first season i guess. but this was good too!! i loved how much they're relationship advanced and how chiaki uses nodame as his inspiration and nodame relies on chiaki too... i guess now i can't just say that nodame cant survive without chiaki. i guess now they BOTH need each other... awwww... will there be a 3rd seasoN? |
| Wow what a nice ending, the plot moved a lot this time, i really liked the relationship development between Chiaki and Nodame, though i expected a Nodame/Chiaki co-performance orchestra, that would have been one of the bests episodes of NC (It will be, probably be on the next season), I wanted to see the old school people... Mine, etc. I want them to come back for the continuation of this story. Seriously, i want more Nodame and less Chiaki :/ and i'm really looking forward to the Nodame performance with Chiaki. 8/10. |
| A nice and decent ending to the Paris Chapter of Nodame Cantabile. Although this wasn't an epic ending for the 2nd season, it was pretty suitable. Both Nodame and Chiaki have really grown and developed as characters. Chiaki did not even talk to or meet up with Viera even once, his teacher whom he had looked up to for so long. This was one of the things I was looking forward to seeing in this season. This season was way too rushed compared to the 1st season with only 11 episodes though. If only they could have spread out the development and pacing of this season over 23 - 26 episodes. Overall a good season, somewhere around an 8, but not quite a 9 for me. I'm definitely looking forward to the next season of Nodame Cantabile. |

And there was some GREAT music moments, like the conductor competition at the start, Nodame's recital, and Chiaki's first performance with Marlet at the end! The reason things developed so fast was because they cut out twice as much material this time. In the first season they condensed approx 52 chapters into 24 episodes. In the second season they squeezed approx 43 chapters into 11 episodes and lost a lot of music and character development as a result. In the music competition alone they jammed 5 chapters into a single episode reducing or eliminating probably half a dozen songs, i don't know how many jokes and all the explanations for what was going on. Various developments that were supposed to be slow and subtle became obvious and rushed, character development of the main cast was severely curtailed to the point of that it created an entirely different feel for certain key scenes and some of the less significant (but still important) side characters had their parts cut to the point that it changed the whole feel of the characters, usually reducing their impact on the story to the point that people who hadn't read the manga wouldn't even understand why they were included at all. Honestly its a miracle the series turned out as well as it did with all the material they slashed. i can only hope that the next season gets 24-26 episodes, because whatever happens it will probably be the last season we will ever get. |
| ...T_T i beame teary-eyed in the end for some reason... it was really nice...but still, i liked the first season better...if more episodes were made out of this season i would have rated it a 10/10... ..but still, i was happy that the romane part turned out that way between Chiaki and Nodame...awwww, i didn't htink Chiaki would be that sweet..lucky nodame!! =3 |
 |
| I loved this series so damn much! <3 Loved Nodame and Chiaki and the new characters and the old ones and the music and the romance and the comedy! I love Nodame Cantabile!! T__T and loved this last episode x3 can't wait for next season x3 |
