I'm surprised no one has talked about this series. I thought this would be one of the highly talked about shows this season. The manga version is probaly my second favorite manga behind Hayate the Combat Butler. It has been pretty faithful to the manga but still cut out some stuff. But the anime is still great. I can understand those who watched the live-action version to be disappointed with this ( i was too) but the live-action version was too good and quite different from the manga version.

I think the reason why no one's talking about this might be because they've all watched the live-action version already (me included, lol). The anime's not bad though, but I keep on thinking back to the live-action version when I watch it. I'm pretty sure I would enjoy it more if I don't :x

I love this show.

Somehow, I keep expecting Morita to come ruin a rehersal or something, his goofy air is ever present...

Alright, I watched the first two episodes of the anime and......I must admit the anime is pretty awesome too. XD~
However, at time the anime reminds me of how good the live-action was.

I was watching the anime at 4:00 in the morning and so when I go to sleep and woke up the sonata for violin and piano 'Spring' still ringing in my ears.

yes...yes she is...in some scenes, she reminds me of a female version of morita shinobu from honey and clover...i love her random "GYABOOOO!" and other quirky sounds she makes... <3

also, it's disappointing seeing such a lack of activity talking about this anime...this anime reminds me of a blend between honey and clover and beck, both really good slice of life shows so more people NEED to be watching this...

Great series. Just watched episode 15 of the anime a day or so ago. Helped give some insight into Nodame character and past. Plus that "Mojyo" song is still stuck in my head.

Thank goodness I'm not the only one =3

I'll probably watch the real-life version after the anime has ended, not sure if I want to watch two different Nodame Cantabiles simultaneously.

There are 11 episodes in the live-action. The live-action is a good watch. It was so good that I almost pass out on the anime.

Only 11 episodes? Wow, that's really tempting to pick up. Might not yet, though, for the same reason haven't started the manga, don't want to ruin the plot.

Thanks for the info sorairo.

You say "only"... but since each episode is 1h long... it's not that little to watch. It's like the equivalent of 33 anime episodes.

But I did watch the live action and it's AWESOME!!! I'll risk saying that it's much better than the anime.

Your right, but 11 hours isn't anything too terrible. Be somewhat similar in length to a 26 episode series.

And now it's final. I'm perfectly enjoying myself with the anime, and I don't want to spoil it by watching 'the same, just better' #_#

i agree with this 100%...the anime is AMAZING, but the live action version made me laugh more...there were a few more hilarious scenes and they conveyed the humor better...

i agree with this 100% as well...it's awesome to see more people get into this show...i feel that it deserves to be much more popular than it is right now...

and to fisher and meli, i would most definitely recommend picking up the live action version...it's well worth watching...i watched both simultaneously and it didn't ruin the experience for me at all, but i guess i could understand your reason why you wouldn't want to watch the live action version until the anime is over...as long as you do watch the live action version, it'll be okay! ;)

I also watched both the live-action and anime, it didn't ruins anything for me either. Though I am with algelic, I enjoy the live-action slightly more than the anime.

I watched the first half of the live-action and I think I like the anime better. Probably mostly because I started watching it first and have "known" it longer. You know, as if the anime and I are friends. :)

I'm surprised that the series isn't really that popular as it's a pretty good one at that. :P I made a fanclub for the series as there wasn't one (another shocker), so I hope you all join it. ^^

Gyaboo, I just can't stop watching this series. Been 'marathoning' one episode after another (in my own pace thou ofcourse) and am really loving the characters and music so far. Also started the Live-action download since I've heared so many good things about it (and read it now here) and will watch that probaply after the anime. Wish I came across this much earlier.

I started the anime and the drama at the same time but only watched one, maybe two episodes of the drama. I'm going to go back to it, but I thought I'd watch the anime first.
I totally love this series. I can't believe it took me so long to watch it :P

just watched the first episode of the live action (which seems to cover the first 3? episodes of the anime) and so far the anime is superior by far. i don't think i'll be bothering to watch the other episodes.
