Haha Chiaki, learn that women are always right now it'll save you a lot of fights!

I liked the 'insta kill' when Nodame turned down dinner with that little boy, hehe.
Such junk...

Leave it to the French to watch a lovers' quarrel and applaud when they make up.

I'm glad the episode ended that way. At first, I thought the show was going to take another dramatic turn and end up crappy.

Great stuff, and I'm digging this seasons focus on romance. Nodame's changing from a good character to a great character with each episode.

I really dislike the lovers' quarrel, well I didn't liked it the first time but the second time it's even worse... Nodame should just call Chiaki and not take anything for granted -_- if she likes him so much she should let him know/show that at least a bit, not nocking him now (and let him hurt his hands like that, wtf?, she dares to call herself a pianist? -_-") ãnd force him to get back with her... well I'm prob the only Chiaki fan here if I see all the comments on this page..

AWESOME. That was the most epic lovers’ quarrel I’ve seen.

Kuroki-kun~ Don’t be depressed, they’re still people that remember you. Poor guy.

*Instant Kill* Loved that~

I absolutely adore Nodame Cantabile, there’s nothing else that can make me laugh and entertain me like this.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

Oh, how I laughed. For a second there I thought they were going to lapse into misunderstandings and drama drama when Chiaki walked off, but that fear was quickly dispelled.. flying kick indeed. Loved how they reconciled, Chiaki choking and Nodame going from revenge godess to cute "honto ni?" in the blink of an eye, literally.

It was nice to see Chiaki being a big softy and all insecure, makes his usual aloofness more understandable. And I understand his feelings and doubts, what with Nodame being so erratic and flighty - I mean she's all over him when she gets the chance, but I see why he would doubt seriousness and depth on her part, and it's getting obvious that he wants to be more than just a crush. (I suppose she's convinced him of her seriousness now, though, hehe.)

So far I'm liking this season more than the first, this episode and the last one have been so fresh and surprising, and nicely daring in the slapstick department. And it still all fits! Love this show.

edit: Oh, and I remember Kuroki, but I didn't recognize him at first. He was the one Nodame won over with her housewifely charms (lol), so that he was able to play the pink Beethoven (or Mozart?) I lol'd when his imaginary springflowers of love wilted when he saw that everything Chiaki said about her was true. Secret sexy photo collection!

GREAT EP AGAIN!!!

was very nice to see chiaki's needy side come out, albeit understandably :D

that fight was epic and great for their development. it was done comedically, but brought to light both the issues they have with eachother....love it!

lol'd at "why dont we start over" and instantly nodami goes "^___^ REALLY?"

:D:D they r perfect for each other

What a great episode. I had trouble remembering who Kuroki was as well, maybe his features aren't that distinctive. Only when it was shown he was the oboist I remembered him.

I don't really feel like commenting individual episodes because I'm getting the Aaaaah! Next Episode, Quick! Syndrome with this series :). At first I was wondering whether the sequel would be as good as the original. It turns out that there's a bit less music and more comedy and character development, which is just fine.

So glad it didn't turn into a melodrama. Great episode, and so glad they finally touched on how their relationship seems so one sided.

That was so great... so unique, can't even explain xD I knew they would come together in a few seconds. But TOTALLY didn't expect the fight. That was just awesome. <3

And also, I really love Kuroki-kun. :) That was honestly a really insightful monologue he had going in his head, that Japanese people are less open than Europeans, and he should be more free like Nodame is. ^_^ honestly, super cool.

Nodame must have been training with Suzaki Kururugi, epic spin kick.

The pacing is fine, people have to stop saying a fast pace = bad pacing. It's just a more brisk pace, their still handling things rather well. And I like the focus on more romance and important events, the music seemed like a great ice breaker to understand the characters in the first season, we're quite familiar with them now. I like the focus on their characters now tbh. The show's not a music video series, they give you songs when it's appropriate, we don't need them constantly.

Very good episode.
Though, I wanted the breakup/start over scene to be more serious.
I don't mind the over the top fighting, but It would have been better dramatic.

At least Kuroki is back! I missed the original cast so so much, brings back so many memories when it has been only few days since I watched the last season...

So it's Kuroki's first time hearing Gyabo and he mistook it for french xD Chiaki is mad and nodame-sick xD

Lovable Nodame is lovable XD That tree...... That play.... I died laughing there, laughed so so much... xD Kuroki is learning something from her, being open like that.

Hahaha, Chiaki got kicked! xD Intense fight scene, this is it; Nodame is "S", yandere and whatnot xD Loved that scene.

Amazing episode!

Did Chiaki really call her a "B!tch"???!!!? O__________O That totally surprised me - I know they are both extreme but calling each other names never occurred to me as a possibility!!! I understand him but that's not the way to express your feelings, man!!! -___-''' Nodame can't read minds!!!! Just tell her yourself!!! Great fight!!! Although the "Let's start over" part didn't sound really honest to me, he was just trying to save his neck.....But I guess they are both making progress!!! ^^

I think Nodame is suited for a kindergarten teacher!! Sure, she's a weirdo and totally not your typical teacher but she's got her own unique way of dealing and interacting with kids!!! :DDD

Kuroki have been able to adapt in the end. Good for him. Though, I don't understand why he misunderprated ''glauque''. It would be more something like creepy in the context...

Chiaki have a lot of trauma xD
After the aircraft trauma, now we have the christmas trauma!

The fight was hilarious but I still can't help feel annoyed with Chiaki's selfishness. Nodame has been chasing him for so long, he treats her like a pet, doesn't express his feelings for her even to the point of denying she's someone special then he'll say he can't keep up with her. Ugh.

Didn't expect to see Kuroki in Paris. Sucks that the flute player screwed him over like that but at least he gained more positive outlook after the play. Hopefully things will start to change for the better for him.

I felt that Chiaki was justified in saying that Nodame didn't try to do anything with their relationship. She's got to notice that Chiaki has made up his mind and is actually reciprocating her feelings so she should also try to be more serious. I don't think he should've tried to break up but the thing is that he's scared to be hurt again after someone that he loved didn't even want to spend time with him on a holiday like Christmas. He didn't want the same thing that happened with his father, happen with Nodame.

Thankfully they worked it out though, was not looking forward to some drama.

Well Chiaki was right, Nodame didn't even bother calling him even though he was constantly trying to get in touch with her. Then she just walks past him and is like oh hey there. The whole thing was unnecessary and just made me dislike Nodame a bit.

the ending was so dissapointing. they really showed who to make a well thought through love-drama( which would have been interesting) into a idiotic comedy (which wasnt funny at all). Also the second season seem to focus less on music and more on the "story", which is kinda sad.. since its music is its most interesting part, while the "story" is meh.. combined with overdone comedy.

MUKYAA!!!! Chiaki absolutely deserved to get his ass kicked. I'm still not warming up to him. Kind of a double standard for me though...I'm okay with female tsunderes, but when there's a male tsundere, I just hate the character, lol.

Please, to all those getting mad at Nodame when Chiaki has been half-assed about his feelings this whole damn show until now. His indecisiveness was truly annoying and when he finally decides to give it a chance she's distant, seems pretty logical to me. Why would she after so long still be waiting for him when all he does is send out mixed signals. I'm glad she ignored him, gave him some of his own medicine. He really needed a wake up call. Instead of waiting on her to figure out he's serious how about communicating that he is, ask her out properly which he has yet to do. his actions were not justified at all.
Great episode! I laughed so much, literally the funniest episode by far. I burst out laughing during that play though. And that roundhouse kick was perfection.

I personally have not commented in any of the episodes before this and even in the first season, but I will finally make it known that I absolutely love the whole series.

Anyways, I think people commenting about less music time is forgetting that this season has half the episodes of the first one. More music = less character development and all that. I prefer both, but it is what it is when you have less episodes. *sigh*

I do feel like things get rushed a bit and it's because of the short season. I also feel for that whole Chiaki thing. He wanted the girl to call and move first, but he's forgetting that she's the one that has done a lot of stuff for him since the beginning. He should at least make the effort to call Nodame at this point. I mean, I do understand Chiaki with Nodame not giving him as much attention, but Nodame is busy too. That line just hit me like a truck since I always seem to forget that in my life.

Kuroki is awesome and if ever Chiaki gets annoying imo, I want Nodame to give that guy a chance instead of Frank.
