THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Gyabo is back!! And a slight conflict right from the first episode, eh? Hope this will be longer than the 11 episodes listed :S.

Incidentally, I think the conductor at my old orchestra watched Nodame 1 and 2, since most of the main pieces we played were in either season 1 or season 2. One wonders...will they start playing Bach soon?

Okay, they're already rushing a bit.At least it's the impression I had. But they need to do it to fit in 11 episodes... Well, this first episode was a little boring IMO. I hope Chiaki Kon won't mess with the plot -_-

If I remember, the SMS says: "I'll be a little late, please wait for me to begin", or something like that~

Even though I knew I wouldn't get most of the conversations, I still wanted to watch this so bad! Seems like a direct sequel to Paris-hen to me, I expected them a bit to move back to Japan, but Shinichi obviously want to make an even bigger career as conductor. The OP and especially Nodame in it were adorableeeee.
She never gets old, she and her classic catchphrases ;p When this show finishes, I definitely want to start reading the manga. 23 volumes plus an upcoming epilogue containing side-stories.. it's going to be some time!

Even though it was to be expected from a sequel, as a first ep it didn't have that much of an impact, there wasn't a real bang, but of course, I might even have missed it for not getting the conversations. However, this is my fav' watch of the season! CHIPMUUUNKS.

As a last thing, I really hope they will try to focus a bit more on their relationship, and maybe even develop it a bit more.

Mukyaaaaaaaa!

Awesome episode!
The story is moving forward which is good but to end after 11 episodes is sad ;(

Nodame practicing Bach was weird. But Chikai playing Bach was wonderful, I loved the concerto!

I wonder what piece will Nodame & Chiaki will play? Hopefully a Romantic piece mukyaa!

The OP disappointed me, so dull somehow. Liked S1's OP most :>
But the episode itself was nice, smooth continuation to Paris-hen and great pacing.
+Chiaki is too similar to his father :D
+Nodame's Romaji-SMS
wtf: Chiaki x Yuulong, random BL hints seem popular recently

Ah, it did feel a little rushed. But it's good to see the plot move so much. I'd have like to hear more of Romeo and Juliet. But Chiaki playing ♥ (But that was short, too )

Damn it, Rui reappears.

God, how much I missed this show. The music, characters, voices, facial expressions--everything.

I'm so excited for Nodame. XD

And the self-pressure scene killed me with rofls. She's simply amazing.

My favourite series of this season. <3

It's strange, just before watching this first ep, I wondered why exactly I loved the first two seasons of Nodame so much, to the point of selecting them as best show of 2007 and best show of 2008 respectively. Now I know : everything is perfect from beginning to end. It's just brilliantly scripted with a wonderful sense of rythm and dialogue-writing, it has simply fantastic and touching characters, awesome music tracks and the best direction any anime has had in the past 2 or 3 years. This first episode was easily better than any episode released in 2009 except for Higashi no Eden episodes, Bakemonogatari's 12th ep and some Erin ones.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

LMAO hilarious. xD I really wanted a 26 episode Nodame. :( I really hate that they're trying to fit everything into 11 episodes. Can anyone tell me why anyone would make an anime THAT short?

ALAS, Nodame has returned. I loved it, I haven't been anticipating an anime as much as I have been with Nodame.

I'm glad frostii is subbing it. :D

Major character insight to Chiaki's emotional armor in the father flashback. Once he sees that he is following his father's emotional footsteps, the very thing he absolutely does not want to do, maybe he can drop the thorns a bit?

Great episode. Chiaki and Nodame's relationship were a bit rocky as usual. Good that Nodame got a concert.

The Nodame magic is back! Need to re-watch some of the last episodes from Paris-hen though since I've forgotten the sequence of events a bit, especially since I haven't pulled out the courage to finish up the manga. Gyabo~

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Nodame sure has a quick reaction when she notices that she's too late. CG animation isn't cool. Awesome private power generator. You'd almost forget that Nodame has her serious side as well. Zeh power of love! And being turned down, as this shows:


I also saw the last scene of the manga in the ending, so I guess they'll cover almost everthing untill the last volume.

Like the OP . Love the ED . Way better than the previous seasons.
Chiaki and Nodame getting a little jerky in their relationship. Cant wait to see more developement in their relationship.
Nodame is just hilarious. Made my day.

The OP puts me in such a good mood. And god damn, whenever a Nodame episode starts I just don't want it to stop.

Just wondering, I know that MAL says it will be 11 episodes, but where was it confirmed that this season would only be 11 episodes? (Feel free to make me look like a jackass, I would just like to know.)

Right off the bat, it seems like the pacing of this season won't be as wrong as the pacing of season 2 was. Still, only eleven episodes? Will they be able to cover whatever's left for them to cover in that amount of time?

also, conducting and playing at the same time? MASAKA! shit, chiaki is so baller.

also, gyabo~
