I can't believe how fast these episodes end, seriously. I'm enjoying them so much that they feel extremely short. This episode centered mostly on Rui, but it was still great. Most of the supporting characters are very interesting and fun to watch after all.

Nodame taking pictures of Chiaki in his sleep was hilarious...

I like how Finale seems to focus more on music compared to Paris Chapter. At least that's what it feels like.

Yeah, isn't it great how when this series focuses on music, the romance just seems to flow out naturally? When paris-chapter happened, they didn't seem to realize this, and thought they could "focus more on the relationship." That was silly, because the romance is already in the music :)

live action is better, i'm dissapointed.. but we ll see how it lll get down.


Well that's because the live action is freaking amazing! I've only so far seen the first season of the live action, but I recommend it to everyone here!

Did you notice that, during Nodame's lesson (when Rui is watching) she plays a Scarlatti sonata, but she actually has the sheet of a Chopin nocturne? That was disturbing, they're always so maniacal with such particulars..


I'm amazed at how they could miss such a thing to be honest. How on earth could they talk about "the scarletti sonatta" and then draw "nocturne - Chopin"? Can the communication between the different workers seriously be this bad? If so, I'm amazed they're managing to make this good of an anime!

There's a moment in this episode that got me thinking...

When Chiaki calls for a guy to tune his piano before he moves and then Nodame comes into his room and realizes he will move, then they start arguing a bit and then Nodame remembers the dream she had with the full moon and blah blah... have you noticed Chiaki's shirt was perfectly OK when they started talking and then when the tunning guy started playing Chopin's Nocturne No. 2, Chiaki went out of his room blushing insanely with his clothes made a mess and asked the guy to leave?? WTF happened in that room?!??! I so want to know~~

Hee hee, I totally noticed that too, I even replayed to check if his shirt reallly *was* ok before. And it was. I came here expecting the thread to be about nothing else than that! Glad at least one person noticed it too (so I'm not being the only dirty mind here)! Although she could just have been trying to steal his shirt.. *shakes head vigorously*

I still don't like Rui, jealous bitch. She wants Nodame's teacher, Nodame's talent AND her lover, she should just get a life of her own. And stop pushing people away, no wonder she didn't manage to get friends and a lover in Paris like she planned to do. I really hope we'll be done with her after next episode, I don't want more episodes wasted on her. Also, I hope they won't continue to underline Chiaki's superiority in talent over Nodame, I feel they've been stalling Nodame's development for quite a while now (if you count in Paris-hen).

Still a great episode. I love the interaction between Nodame and Auclair-sensei. "Don't call me bébé in front of other people!" "Alright. Now start playing, bébé-chan."

I didn't expect that Rui's room is same like Nodame's room. I wonder why Rui is calling Chiaki instead of other people?Nodame is in danger.

You've got an eye for details, but i think this takes the cake: at around the 14th min, near the start of the scene where rui sits in nodame's lesson: the score that is flashed on the screen just before she started playing Scarletti's <Sonata K159 Cmaj>, is actually Chopin's <Nocturne Op 9 No 2>.

Didn't like how the episode was centered around Rui.. I could care less about her character really.

The main thing I find really annoying of her is that she already knows Chiaki and Nodame has a relationship going on yet she keeps wedging herself in. I think the series is trying to portray her as an innocent character, dropping hints that shes always interested in Chiaki. But the impression I'm getting from her is that shes putting on some kind of facade, and the way she says that shes looking for friends and a possible love life contrasts the fact that shes been half assing her way "building" relationships around people. Shes so dishonest and unclear of what she really wants that her character as a whole is coming out as a fake.

And I hate fake people.

I really hope the series don't focus too much on her, coz theres not much episodes and I want to see people from Japan again and more progression between NodaxChi.

THAT FUCKIN' BITCH, CHIAKI!!!!
When he was bought the new apartment, i was like "Great they can take the next step and move in together.
BUT NO......
It's been 4 FUCKIN' YEARS since they've met, and he isn't willing to make any advancements.
Seriously, it pisses me off, they hardly ever see eachother as it is.
They should just break up.
FUCK, this episode pissed me off.

(And apparently I'm the only one upset by this. I've noticed I tend to focus on different things then most people, and get upset by very specific things most don't get upset at.)

Auclaire is a pretty interesting fella, perfect teacher for Nodame. Speaking of Nodame, found it hilarious how she just sneaks into Chiaki's room at night to take pictures of him sleeping xD

I liked when the piano tunner starts playing (or rather, when Chiaki says it's ok for him to leave) xDD I think there was something like this in the manga, but hearing the music makes it better xD


Did you notice Chiaki's shirt seemed undone slightly. The button as well as the seams. Interesting no

Yeah the line about "harvesting at full moon" gave those vibes too. Something may have gone down between the two haha

Anyway I don't like where this is going with Rui. I hope it doesn't lead to some misunderstanding.

Nodame is crazy with a her shirt obsession and her taking pictures shouldn't be ignored either. But after all she's Chiaki's angel, so we may forgive her xD

Rui still likes Chiaki. Can't wait for Nodame's concert though.
