----------------------------------------
I never really did like Mine x Kiyora; she's just too beautiful and talented for him in my opinion. Gotta love how horrible Mine is at French though.
I think it's settled though, Nodame is the best conductor in this series.

Yuko wins for getting engaged though, even if it is to Jean.
Katahira, fuck yeah.

Mine is such a colorful character. I laughed my ass off when he and Nodame were pretending to be a married couple. That was seriously hilarious. ^.^
Been so long since Kiyora has had air time so i wasn't really into the story behind the episode, but still i was not disappointed.

Or at least the most entertaining. There was that guy though that danced while he preformed that was in the last two minutes of the OVA.

I love this part in the manga and I love it here. Mine + Nodame make a great comedy duo any day. This made me miss Nodame man. Can't wait for some OVA action.

Awww. I don't remember Mine being so lovable. And I totally forgot how awesome, Nodame, Mine, and Masumi are as a group. Fun extra. I say all the skipped chapters should be done on DVD as specials. Or a web series.

Having just finished Arakawa x2, I imagined Riku's head superimposed on Kimura's head while he was talking.

Oh, how I missed Mine and Kiyora. “My name is thank you.” Rofl. Their combo with Nodame is just great. I’m getting such a nostalgic feeling.

Of course, it was Nodame who took the cake in the episode by her awesome conducting with silverware.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

This anime is hilarious, love the episode, don't usually watch episodes that fall in between series since they are usually just fillers but really glad I did for this series. Only thing that bothers me is the really weird animation style they have when people are playing instruments or when you get an aerial view of somebody playing piano/conducting. That complaint however is more directed towards the series, doesn't really happen in this episode.

10/10 cuz I loved every second of it :) This OVA re-assured that NC is my favourite anime in the world. I am SO re-watching the entire series when I have time.

The jokes omg. Hilarious. Mine-kun's Engrish. "My name is Thank you." Nodame's conducting.

Mine's absolutely hilarious. Nodame has 3,000 Favorites and Chiaki has 800, and Mine only has 14. Absolute travesty. I hope it's because there's a Favorite limit on MAL, because Mine is such a goated character.

Also, this is trivial, but I can't believe there's a Beatles reference. I wish I had a comprehensive list of ALL the official anime parodies of the Abbey Road crosswalk because I've seen it like 10 times since I began watching anime.

Also, I didn't know a stringed instrument could play a note that high (as she did at the end). Or at least, in an official piece of music, or tastefully. But that sounded really really nice. Interesting.

Good episode. Jam-packed with content. Quite a bit happened in this single episode OVA.

THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT WAS MISING FROM THE Paris-hen SEQUAL

Mine's character really lightens up the comedy aspects of this franchise, I don't understand why he wasn't introduced in the sequal, guess he was still too much of an amature? I'm not always deeply into their performance but wow Kiyora's play was beautiful, hopefully she'll have screen time too next season.
