They should have put more on the art style, even though the story is good, and I like instrumental music

This series is just what I needed after NGE, something simple, charming, and relaxing.

This was a real charmer of a first episode, and I felt I could relate as a musician myself.

Beautiful start. Funny, definitely not stupid and most important contains plenty of classical music.

Nodame's apartment looked awful. Gross.

I agree with everyone else. Darn good first episode. I'm pretty much sucked in on the series already.

Great start!

I'll definitely be watching this one.

And, it's a great dub!!
Thank you Crackle for bringing an otherwise unwatchable dub.
(Well I guess you could order the R3 DVDs, maybe if I had an All-region DVD player.)

Nodame is awesome, and Chiaki is just the perfect jerk to make this show hilarious and moe!!!

Urahara Out!!

One of the best first episodes I’ve seen in my life. If not the best. It was simply brilliant.

Nodame’s such a lovable and ingenuous character, she’s just charming; I can’t help but love her.
I like Chiaki too; it must’ve been difficult to cope with Nodame and her grimy surroundings. He has to be a real clean freak to clean up everything like that without even knowing Nodame well… His fear of airplanes and boats it’s an unusual but nice quirk.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

What an absolutely amazing introductory episode--I'm completely sold.

Chiaki and Nodame contrast so well. When their polar opposite personalities clash, there's sure to be plenty of hilarious moments. Also loved the gags, the simple and charming animation, and obviously the musical elements. Finishing this one for sure--I just hope they don't run outta gas later on.

Wow. That was really beautiful :) A performance that makes you tremble... I know exactly what he means. And such a beautiful playing of the Pathetique! I learned it about a year ago, and still love to play it. The second movement, Adagio Cantabile, is still such a joy to play.

This looks like a show I will really really cherish. :)
Reminds me of Honey and Clover with the art style.... not too fond of it, but I don't mind ^_^ On to episode 2!

Well that was very enjoyable to watch, the character seemed already very interesting, with a short introduction and a backstory sure made it quite nice! The ending was also very impressive! So lets see what happens next, this show sure is promising!

"Is this what you call falling in love?" XD
And also, classical music.. I like classical music.. Hope to see more pieces played..
Liked the OP and ED btw..

Man... That girl... She's hilarious! And she seem irrecoverable xD

That guy is so full of himself, still he's pretty funny :P

When she asked if he remembered last night and that she had her belt, does that mean that they had... sex? xD
He was so wasted, wouldn't surprise me.

I really love their chemistry, they have style completely to the opposite, still they fit so well.

I didn't know what to think about that show when I first saw it's synopsis, but comedy, romance and classical music all together, what can I ask more? That was a great first episode, it's been a long time since I wasn't hyped that much by a show I wasn't looking at.

I'm going to go against the current and say I didn't like it. The characters were unlikeable as well as lacking credibility, the plot is rushed and poorly introduced, the art is meh. Didn't like the comedy. The attitude towards the music was pretentious too.

Surprised everyone seems to have fallen in love with it o_O

Funny to see Chiaki's reactions to Nodame's randomness ^^, he seems to be an ass at some times but I guess that'll change soon ;).

Finally got my hands on the dubbed version ... Very well done dub. The opening and ending themes are great . First episode was a nice set up. I hope this anime lives up to my expectations ...
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!

I can tell that Nodame is more talented than Chiaki. And she is very charming, although a biiit untidy. :D Nice start.
