lol go Tanya go! She reminds me of Nodame when she got that chance for a kiss. <3

I was a little depressed since there was little Nodame going around, but I loved how she couldn't get out of the Kotatsu.

I think I've fallen in love with the ed finally.

I guess Nodame was pretty understanding of Chiaki. Good episode.

This episode was great with Chiaki standing out most.
First as he obediently follows Nodame's commands when he's drunk and then acting jealous the next morning. It's human relations that make this anime after all...

These episodes really do just fly by. I'm still a little bit in shock as to how few episodes there will be with only 11. Especially when they seem to be concentrating on developing so many of the other characters instead of focusing on Nodame and Chiaki. Seven more episodes. It seemed slightly weird when Nodame moved Chiaki's hand off her stomach like it was off limits. I was under the impression they were way beyond that in their relationship.

Really. Do we need Tanya fleshed out anymore, with so few episodes left? Yes, she's a good character, but, with 7 epi's left, ... Focus!

Chiaki is touchy-feely and compliant when drunk. Nodame needs to get him loaded more often.

All this time i think Chiaki hasn't take his relationship with Nodame seriously, but in this episode, they really looked like a couple. Which is good for the series.

Tanya and Kuroki's relationship also developed, which i think more like one-sided love. We still don't know that is Kuroki like Tanya too. But i hope all would ends well

Pasta flambé.

Please don't try this at home.

Funny how Nodame was talking to Chiaki's pic, as if he were dead already.


It was cute to see a drunk Chiaki. <3

Waiiii

I thought this episode was the best one so far, and that was really rewarding as well. The opening scene was great, finally some intimacy on Chiaki's side, but of course, that's only possible when he has no complete self-control, et; being drunk. Good to see he also had a jealous side to him, haha. Loved how Nodame just *plat* packed all her lunch in the thinfoil.. Overall, the comical parts were nice, just like old days, but give me more NodaxChiaki moments.

Hm, that's always hard to say, so far they haven't showed us a lot of their physical relationship, but I believe when he touched her stomach he said something like 'Holy Fertilization' (translation could be a bit off, since the subbers tend to make up weird stuff, but anyhow..) I think that's what made her react to his gesture ;p

And, good news: Technically, we'll have more than 11 episode (yay), since there will be an DVD episode + an OVA!

Obedient Chiaka and morning jealousy! Actually I loved the first scene, wonderful couple moment XD

Also way to go Tanya! Want to see how Kuroki will react, loved the pink-coloured Mozart after falling for Nodame in season 1! Preview looks interesting, can hardly wait for the next episode. ^^

This episode was made of perfection. Script, direction, rythm, development, characterization, music, atmosphere, it had the best of it all. The first masterpiece of this season (after Paris-Hen episodes 10 and 11).

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

Nodame handled Chiaki's no-show as well as anyone could. Very impressed. Although I like Tanya, I would prefer that they keep the focus on Nodame and Chiaki with so few episodes left.

Finally it slowed down a little and Chiaki and Nodame got some time together again. Chiaki should get drunk more often :D I'd rather they focus on Tanya and Kuroki than Rui, but on the whole, get back to Chiaki and Nodameeeeee!

For some reason, I thought they'd be going to Vienna in the Finale? Is that only in the live-action series? Booooo ...

Even with the lack of Nodame and the abundance of Tanya and Kuroki--whom I didn't care much for their potential romance during the Paris-hen--this was hands-down the best episode of Finale so far.

There was not a single dull moment, with the Chiaki/Nodame interaction at the begining and the fertilization gags--Chiaki's reaction to those were quite priceless, Chiaki's misunderstanding and jealousy during Nodame's call with the butler, the awesome music pieces, the rivalry and how everyone got fired up while practicing and kuroki's reaction to the kiss at the end made me laugh out-loud.

I still miss the gang from Japan, though. I wonder how Ryotaro, Masumi and the others are doing. I hope they'll make some sort of an appearance at some point.

I refuse to believe this is it for the show. Nodame and Chiaki haven't really been the focus of the show, so there's no way this is it.

whoa they released the final live action movies? boy am i behind.



i have to agree with everyone here so far as much as i do love the side characters with so few episodes left shouldt the focus be more on nodame and chiaki?

i hope that the original orchestra crew makes an appearence at some point. seems kinda harsh to introduce some great characters in the first season and then just drop them.

I thought that the beginning was perfect. Nodame seems like a completely different person from the first series, she actually listened and understood, she totally understands (a whole lot more than I did, judging from my comment on the previous episode :s) that they're both really busy, and they can't always be together or something. Ahh, she's so mature now!

Ahaa, Chiaki's reaction to all the males she's in contact that they doesn't know was hilarious, and I love his face whenever Nodame's bras are mentioned :D

Hehe, obedient Chiaki was adorableee~ That was sweet how Nodame understood and was even happy for Chiaki :) That's a good girlfriend. Hahaha, him being jealous the next morning was so awesome XD I was giggling all fan-girl like xP.... o.o Guys being jealous is too cuuute :3

Anyways, great episode. Nice development with Tanya. I'm really rooting for her! She's not the stupid girl that she was portrayed to be in the beginning. I hope her and Kuroki will have something by the end of the series ^_^

Also, looks like FINALLY Nodame will be entering a competition. :) I'm sooo excited for her!!! :D

The biggest laugh in the show for me might have been when Nodame goes to answer the door, and Chiaki does that creeper slide into the frame because he's jealous lmao.

This shows' pacing is incredible, man I can't stop watching. They even give side characters their due, and develop them well. This is the good stuff right here...
