| Chiaki was so jealous in this episode. And the part with Kuroki and Tanya was fun. |
 |
| Nice ending, still upset from 2 episodes ago. |
 |
| grear episode :) but it feels like chiaki is moving around to much lately |
| ~If only sorrow could build a staircase, our tears could show the way. I would climb my way to heaven, and bring him back home again.~  |
| Nice one Tanya! You go girl, and well even with this new character she sure has a good chance! Lol Nodame in the beginning with Chiaki :p Lovely episode, lets see what's next! |
 |
| Best episode so far.. Both pairs are fun to watch esp. Nodame and Chiaki.. Didn't thought Chiaki can be jealous.. Laughed so hard when Nodame mentioned "bra" during the phonecall.. XD And Yasu's kissmark in his lips.. lol |
| I really loved the scene in the beginning - sit, shake xD He really was drunk. Robert-san, Lucas and a certain Jealous Chiaki xD Go Tanya! I really love her with Kuroki. That piece, tanya was playing, I loved it so so much! He was awake XD |
 |
| YES, all play at the same time, thats the best logiv Ive ever heard |
| Haha so Kuroki and Tanya is this season's Mine x Kiyora :p That was a really cute ending. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Kuroki's reaction at the end was just great lol. |
 |
| i guess kuroki really wasn't asleep haha |
| Kissing scene was lol haha. No comment |

| That scene at the beginning of the episode just became one of my favourite scenes in the series. Everything about it was... perfect. I can watch it over and over again. I love the show's portrayal of the two leads and their relationship. The relationship is played out in a fairly light-hearted manner but is not shallow; it's serious when it needs to be but is not heavy-handed. In a bid to advance the relationship, the show doesn't resort to contrivances and facile strategies, but instead tries to stay grounded in realism by having the characters behave and act not in ways whose primary aim is to serve the requirements of the romantic subplot but in ways that complement their personalities and circumstances. Chiaki's chance encounter with Maestro Viella and the latter's invitation to his rehearsal could've proceeded with Chaiki declining the tempting offer without any hesitation and opting to keep his appointment of attending Nodame's concert. But he doesn't do that. The writer(s) could've opted to play things out that way, as being indicative of a significant romantic development (and there are works that unhesitatingly go down that route-- the guy instinctively giving precedence to matters pertaining to the girl while everything else takes a backseat), but they know that such a course of action on the part of this particular character, at this particular point, would be a bit of a stretch. How would this character behave if he were a real individual and not merely a device to move the the plot forward? There stands before him his mentor whom he admires and respects. An opportunity to witness him perform doesn't come by every day. But he's also supposed to attend this girl's concert. He knows that she looks forward to seeing him among her audience and it's not right to back out in the last minute. He invariably gives into his temptation. This is good characterisation, in my opinion. Him choosing the reverse might have been desirable from the standpoint of how a romance should 'ideally' pan out but what he actually does instead is better since it adds depth to his character. Coming back to the aforementioned scene in this episode, these two aspects are the highlights for me: 1. Nodame's considerateness towards Chiaki's feelings despite being hung over his failure to show up at her concert. 2. Nodame's feisty assertion of her conviction that she did fine, notwithstanding Chaiki's absence, so it's high time that he stops thinking highly of himself, in response to his 'Don't tell me your performance was disappointing because I wasn't there'. These instances are among a number of subtle indicators of Nodame's growth as an individual and the evolving dynamics of her relationship with Chaiki. She has a purpose in her life that is not limited to just being close to the one she loves. I freakin' adore this series. |

| Nodame is too awesome, she forgave him! Wow, Tanya stole that kiss like a snake! |
 |
| Nodame has really grown huh. She's probably the most developed character as far as genki girls go. That kiss at end lol His reaction was great. |
| The only opinion that should matter to you is yours. |
Siva said: Wow, what is with the flying speed in this episode? It was like I was watching 3 episode in 20 minutes. I agree, this episode was paced pretty fast. I thought it was just me, it felt pretty weird Drunk Chiaki a best! |
| Phew, Nodame & Chiaki on the bed- that was my favorite part, it definitely felt relieving too |
 |
| That ending kiss was hilarious. that girl was really annoying tbh. |
| Tanya x Kuroki might be my favourite pairing right now, they'd make a cute couple! That surprise kiss at the end was amazing, Tanya her squeeking like a teenage fangirl made me lol <3 |
  |
| Nodame was indeed pretty understanding, but it seems likely that she wanted the last bit of time before his departure to be a happy one. And heck, it was hilarious how jealous he was xD And Tanya is another desperate girl in this series hehe. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| seems like everyone enjoyed that non-consensual kiss. i wonder what y'all would have to say if genders were reversed. smh |
| see you, space cowperson . . . |
| I want more of Chiaki and Nodame lovely dovey moments!!!:< |
