| Eh. Hopefully it'll only be 11 episodes. I liked season 2 the most, actually (albeit I really disliked season 1). This season already had massive drama and stupid conflict in the first episode. I hate Chiaki, and Nodame is getting on my nerves by even trying to find something good about him. The rest of the cast is fine, but tune down the hard gay. It's like every character wants to suck Chiaki's dick, and I thought the old guy was finally going to break the streak of everyone liking Chiaki, but nope. Chiaki is just FAR too fabulous. ヽ(ｏ`皿′ｏ)ﾉ Opening and ending aren't anything special and the over-saturation of music isn't all that great imo. I love classical music, but slim it down. The anime barely has time for romance with all this "compete for the top" shit going down. I digress, I'm totally wrong, I don't know anything about good anime etc. I'm just hoping this last season will live up to THE GREATNESS I've heard of in this series. Also, masturbation. |
| I AM SO HAPPY NODAME IS BACK!! MUKYAAA!! |
p r o f i l e 👀 |
| love it! and the preview 4 the next episode...Nodame was crying??WHY?? I cant wait 4 ep 2 already>.< |
| Seemed a bit fast, but otherwise a great 1st episode. |
 |
| She got the opportunity to perform a concert with a band, fuck yeah. |
| I like the Finale's OP. It's different from the others. Nodame might forget to replace the batteries again. |
| Maaaaaaaan this sucks it's only 11 episodes. This episode is from chapter 99 of the manga. That means there's 37 more chapters to cover in only 10 episodes! That's just too short! Ugh! Theyre gonna cut sooooo much out. That makes me so terribly sad. *sigh Mukya!!!! |
| Romance comedy anime - Japan's gift to America |
| I've missed Nodame Cantabile so much! It feels great to see everyone again =D The first episode is absolutely lovely~ |
Chicken + Dictionary + Dictionary = CMC. Eeyup.  |
Trie said: I've been really looking forward to this. It was a nice start. Nodame looks cuter this season. Yeah, Nodame looks much better at this season, now she looks kawaii! :) OP>ED IMO. GYABO!! |
SNSD said: LMAO hilarious. xD I really wanted a 26 episode Nodame. :( I really hate that they're trying to fit everything into 11 episodes. Can anyone tell me why anyone would make an anime THAT short? Basically this season is just a continuation of Paris-hen so you could look at it as being 22 episodes. They split the season probably for either two reasons. 1. Lack of Funding 2. Make more money on Advertising Since this series was originally scheduled for Fall 09 and then pushed back, the first choice seems to make more sense. I've been bummed for quite some time about the lack of licensing and distribution of this show in Dvd region 1. You know classical music is a hard sell to a lot of people, but this show is magnificent. It's hard to tell where these last eleven episodes are going to take us. Will it be tragedy or will it ecstasy? This first episode incorporated a lot of what made the first two seasons good. The first season under the direction of Kenichi Kasai obviously being the true masterpiece. Still i have faith in Chiaki Kon, who is an amazing director in his own right. I actually went back and watched the last episode of Paris-hen then re-watched this first episode to see if the art looked the same. As far as I could tell it was very close but this first episode seem to have a few frames that were unfinished with little detail. I would say I hope the fix that before the put it on dvd, but.... Besides that the Opening "Manazashi Daydream" by Yuu Sakai was much better than Paris-hen's and the story moved well and had me laughing at a few points. Particularly in the beginning when Nodame text Chiaki to hold up the concert for her. Overall it was a good re-introduction to this second part of Paris-hen. I really wish they hadn't named it "Finale" though. It's hard to believe that they couldn't continue to develop this story. |
| "I ALMOST FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM!" lmao, awesome. Glad this series is back. Such a chill show. (: |

| Not bad, the only thing that annoyed me was that I could have used a recap because it's been so long since I've seen the second season, I kinda pretty much forgot about everyone other then the two mains, O well I guess I need to rewatch the second season. Also the Masturbating thing managed to be funny and disturbing all at the same time. |
| It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die. |
| LOVED IT! No other series does everything that I'd ever want from a slice of life (except maybe Honey and Clover) the way Nodame does. I get great characters, comedy, drama, and damn good music. For this to be the finale makes me deeply depressed, because I just don't know where i'll get another show like this. Nodame is my light in this dreary winter line-up. The only problem I have is the CG and the character design...I don't remember the cg being so noticeable, and the characters feel like they have bigger chins all of a sudden. But I'm nitpicking! |
Congee said: This episode [or the subs] was kind of confusing for me. I guess I forgot what happened last season or something, but it feels like there was a lot of stuff left out. It doesn't quite connect. Btw, when did Streseman die? I don't remember that. Either that, or it was confusing translations. I watched Frostii's subs and they were good. I'm curious which subs you watched? @ Jigero: Completely missed the masturbating thing. I'm gonna have to watch yet again. Edit: @Notehero: Damn you know I couldn't put my finger on what it was that was annoying me about the animation either. It just seemed like a few of the frames where pasted into the 3D without any blending. Basically it's the fault of the 3D animator that didn't do a great job of softening the characters into the background. |

XDD I didn't see that. lol This episode was awesome! I can't wait for more. I read the manga so I know what is going to happen, it's just really cool to see it all unfold in the anime. x3 Whee! |
 |
| Finally, it's subbed! I watched it yesterday. I liked the Bach Harpsichord Concerto that Chiaki conducted. It was my favorite part of the episode. I was expecting more funny moments between Nodame and Shinichi, but that really didn't happen in this episode, which was disappointing. I'm VERY pleased with the opening song to Finale; I almost like it as much as the opening to Paris Chapter. |
 |
| Ahh the ED is great! I love it! Haha i still don't think the professor who teaches nodame right now is as awesome as Milch XDDD |
| what masturbating thing are you guys talking about? Is that the scene where Nodame dragged Chiaki's shirt from the laundry? I thought that was only her usual way of 'charging' where she always sniff some of Chiaki's stuff? ','?from what i remember she always loves Chiaki's scent hence she does that a lot. ↲↲Nontheless, i <3 this episode. Gyabo~! |

| Gyabo!! Myukaa!! lols I missed those expressions it never fails me to laugh. I always get goosebumps whenever they play in a concert. ~Yunlong x Chiaki hehe The last part about Nodame's concert really makes my day. But I totally forgot about that Lambert person. The opening and ending song is also good |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |

Oh I see, I watched the frostii subs but they used the other word "private power generator. x__x Im really slow I got confused, so I guess they have the same meaning eh? XDDD Coz in the manga Nodame was just sniffing stuff... XDDD I guess BSS is using more direct words, Im gonna watch the BSS then, I think they're funnier. XDDD |
| Yes!!! Back in business, good music, rocky romance, and wackiness galore. What more could we ask for? I have been waiting for this episode for what seems ever and it didn't disappoint. Can't wait for the next one. Keep 'em coming. |
| Was it just me or does Nodame look a bit different from previous seasons? Maybe it's just my imagination. :s Ah well, the episode was nice, the OP is so adorable, especially the beginning part with Nodame & the umbrella <3 Also, I want to sleep in Chiaki's nice long bed. |

| Oh god, that was better than all the episodes of Pari-hen. It's so good to have you back in my life, Nodame ^^ |
| My first novel, Kardia has been published! Click here to read! |
| It's the chin. Almost everyone's chin is bigger this season. |
| I loved it, she finally returned xD |

| I laughed hysterically at Nodame's "recharging" method. So glad this got a continuation, and just where Paris-hen practically left off too. I can already tell this will be my favorite anime of the season. |

| Oh Nodame Cantabile how I have missed you ><! But what a magnificent first episode Chiaki playing the piano was just ... amazing beyond words @_@! But seems Nodame is about to enter into a concert, interesting :3 ...can't wait for more ^_^! But only 11 episodes D: but I guess because the manga is finished that is understandable. |
HoaRy said: The word there is 自家発電 [Jikahatsuden], which can be translated as auxiliary/emergency power supply OR masturbation. They are both right then personally I though masturbation was funnier. kyrori said: Was it just me or does Nodame look a bit different from previous seasons? Maybe it's just my imagination. :s Ah well, the episode was nice, the OP is so adorable, especially the beginning part with Nodame & the umbrella <3 Also, I want to sleep in Chiaki's nice long bed. I thought that was kinda weird, but then I thought "hmmm fancy European house...... bed made for Andre the giant wouldn't be to out of place....>.>" |

| YaY Nodame!!! I love nodame great episode. I hope to God they are going to do more than the 11 episodes listed here. I have read the whole manga so i know what is going to happen but it is so kool to see it animated. I cant wait for this one specific part close to the end.!!!!!!!!! |

Maximatum99 said: kyrori said: Was it just me or does Nodame look a bit different from previous seasons? Maybe it's just my imagination. Me too. She looked slightly different in some scenes. Seriously, I hate how she looks in this series. In some scenes she's regular and then other scenes she's like moe and typical anime style. It's weird. |
| a lot of people keep saying theyre getting a slight rushed feeling. i can understand that. but the way that i am trying to look at it is episode 12 of the paris chapter. i mean its more or less a direct continuation so yeah. thats how im looking at it. does that make any sense? also i loved the whole "its still 3:00...>rips off clothes to change<" for some reason that just kept cracking me up! |
kyrori said: Was it just me or does Nodame look a bit different from previous seasons? Maybe it's just my imagination. :s Ah well, the episode was nice, the OP is so adorable, especially the beginning part with Nodame & the umbrella <3 She has an umbrella in the original series. You can see it at the beginning of the eighth episode. |
| Good start. |
 |
| Even more Gyaboooo! Splitter said: Oh god, that was better than all the episodes of Pari-hen. It's so good to have you back in my life, Nodame ^^ Pretty much totally agree! And yeah, they OP and ED are better too! But what's this? Chiaki is going to learn to miss what he had I guess. |
| Such junk... |
| I can't understand why I've been hesitating to watch this final season for so long. It's just too awesome to describe! I'm falling in love with this show all over again! |
| This is a great start, I like it more than Paris-chapter already. It had that element of focusing on music and romance at the same time that s2 just couldn't seem to get right. But seriously, I really miss season 1. This still felt too rushed, and really no matter what, it's neither as funny, romantic, or musical as season one. Why oh why did they change directors? |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| Nice episode. It's nice to see Nodame has the motivation to improve her skill in piano.Wonder what will happen next~ |
    |
| GYABOOO!!! she's back! Nodame <3 Nice episode i liked it, it was lively :) |
 |
| Nice way to kick off the 3rd season :D! I'm just loving this new ED so much... ;-;" |
 |
| Mukyaa! Nice beginning for this final season. Chiaki became more skilled. Now he conducts and plays piano at the same time. |
