I'm impressed by the seiyus, for once it's understandable when they speak a foreign language, even tho their accent kinda suck ^^. Only the dubbed version of Purigorota truly sounded like japanese xD

Loved the ep, and the new characters seem fun, but it missed some Mine indeed.

I'm so glad to have a second season of this amazing show ! This was a good start, and I enjoyed it very much even if I read the manga as well. The openning song is not really to my taste, but for the rest it's perfect !

I'm french, I live in Paris, but I didn't see too many clichés about Paris (except the snail maybe). But their french is very hard to understand so it adds to the fun !

I almost forgot. In the manga, when Nodame and Chiaki left the restaurant and started arguing, didn't they have a huge fight? That was not included right? Or am I losing my mind here?

The OP was just fine. I think it´s a remix of Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No.2.

Anyway, Nodame Cantabile rocks. One of my favorite series!

Shana went to France and Nodame learned how to saw "rape" in another language.

No epic performances yet, but I still approve.

this episode was great! i love how chiaki and nodame keep bickering all the time, in spite of their little "hug moment" at the end of season 1. like that lady at the airport observed, they're behaving like a married couple already! ^^

Nodame! Chiaki! Oooh how I've missed you.

This episode was great - although I already kind of knew what would happen in it because of the Dorama. The impact Nodame and Chiaki left of the French students was simply hilarious. "She's the real thing! I can't date her!" XD

Loving this already. And the ending song is so cute, I didn't expect it to be in French.

Want the next episode already~

Wow. An absolutely amazing start to an absolutely amazing series.

Oh my freaking gawd. Every single fawking aspect of this first episode was fawking amazing. Fawking amazing. FAWKING AMAZING.

I dunno what else to say XD This episode just made my day. Wow. The music is already a notch better than it was before. Nodame is more lovable than she ever was <3 Chiaki’s character is developing and i’m so totally loving it <3 the shana reference made me lol XD oh gawd, i wonder if the french people watching this episode are like "lewl, japanese such at speaking frenchanese x_X"

I love how realistically a french otaku is portrayed XD they’re just like American otakus. ashamed to show their otakuness, but their room is filled with figures and junk q___q so realistic XD

Might I add that the opening theme song is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous. Wow, by far the most beautiful song I have ever heard, especially by a male. Wait, I feel like i’m not emphasizing this enough. *inhale* *exhale* GAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH THE OPENING THEME SONG IS THE MOST AMAZING BEAUTIFUL GORGEOUS THING I HAVE EVAR HEARD IN ALL OF ANIME HISTORY <3333 i mean sure, "Shut Up and Explode" is unique and catchy, but dear lord, "Sky High" sounds just… stunning. Amazing. I love this song.

Well, that’s all I gotta say. I feel like i commented more on the op theme song than the episode it’self XD ah well

Episode score: 9.1/10
I’m already sold to the series <3

So nostalgic! I miss Nodame! Gyobo! I hope Chiaki doesn't continue to act like a jerk to her. He's the one who asked her to come to Paris so he should take responsibility.

I always feel relaxed and happy whenever i watch this show :)

Do you know of ‘The Magnificent Steiner’ ? The main character was normally a weak, sickly man. When he was in an emergency, someone would come and help him. A secret friend. But, the main character never realised...... that his secret friend....Was himself.

Glad to seeit is back for a second season. I have been eagerly awaiting it since I first heard news of the second season.
While the animation was great and the story was full of funny moments I still felt that it was just a bit to rushed. I wished that they had streched the whole meeting the new housemates thing out a little bit more.
The slowness of the show was one of the things I really liked about the first season. It just felt more like real life, this seems a bit more forced and crunched for time. It was still fun to watch though!

Things I laughed at:
- Shana/otaku reference.
- Nodame learning from the dubs.
- The whole restaurant scene.
- Aux~ Champs Elyseé~!
- Chiaki hitting with the book on the blonde girl because she didn't learn the piece.

I liked the ending :D But I can't remember the opening...

Chiaki didn't change at all. He's still not afraid of hitting women across the head with books.

Though one can easily tell that he's more caring toward Nodame, in the past, he would just think "That idiot!" whenever Nodame request something, now he's considering what Nodame been through.

I was hoping the humor would be as good as the first season, and it is definitely there still.

I completely lost it when the otaku had the Shana shirton, then realizing how inferior he was to Nodame in the otaku department. Not to mention Nodame being "raped"... lulz!!!

I disagree. I feel that now Chiaki doesn't hate Nodame, which is a huge step up from the first season. As long as he's not all "fuck Nodame" it's alright with me.
