YYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!

Oh, I just loved this! They're finally getting together! Finally, Shinichi is getting over his stupidity and realizing what a great girl he's got right in front of him. When he hugged her after his performance, I just totally lost it in the moment. Best moment by far of Paris Chapter and has to be in top 5 of all time Nodame. hehe.

One thing worries me. Nodame seems to be falling farther and farther behind. In the first few episodes of the first season, Nodame seemed to be on the same level as Shinichi, but just way more raw, but then eventually, we saw he was a much better piano player. However, she was saved near the end, when 3-4 episodes were concentrated on her and she really stepped up her performance.

This time, it seems to be happening, and I'm hoping that with her last statement, "I am going to have to work harder now, right?" that she once again steps up and comes back to Shinichi's level. I want her to be able to perform a concerto with him.

MAN I'm bummed Paris Chapter has only 11 episodes. I have to ask, WHY?????? *Sigh. It's depressing knowing your favorite anime all time is ending so soon, even if there's a possibility for a season 3 (which I doubt - this is going to be exactly like Honey and Clover. First Season full and then Second season half and then end.) I guess I will jsut have to cherish every moment.

Finally, finally they kiss. Figures Chiaki would do it abruptly. I didn't like the 3D (?) animation in the concert scenes though... the little boy was cute too, putting the bandaid on her.

well its about time their relationship goes beyond Nodame chasing after Chiaki, in the romantic type of way.

I loved the romance parts in this episode, but I think they're moving too fast. They're not showing very much musicl. I want to see more of Chiaki's conducting!

Really loved it when he kissed her, I was going like WTF and she didn't even react to it... I was kind of expecting her to faint or something. Then later he hugged her and they even held hands. It's nice Chiaki finally noticed the really cute girl that has been before him all this time. Really curious to how this will develop.

So we're approaching the end? I'm sure there is going to be some drama with them before the end but they seem destined to end together, as we all knew.

This episode wasn't as good as the first 3 but it was nice and beautiful, perfect for this show.

Star Wars references FTW.

I think the kiss scene is how it should be^^ And this is only a guess but, i think in the next episodes nodame will keep asking for a few times for him to kiss her like he did in this episode, and chiaki will whether ignore her, or knock her down lol XD But in the last episode or around there, after she asks for the same thing again, he will hug her tightly and give her a french kiss :D :D :D lol XD

Fantastic episode as always, the pace is fast but right and everything develops quickly, but still retains the nice atmosphere and heart of the series. Paris Hen is almost perfect for now (well, the first season was already as good). And the ending is truly growing on me now, even if a sentence doesn't mean anything ;)

I think the drama did better with the reunion, then the anime... the anime just kind of felt goofy and happy. The drama seemed to have a lot more depth and emotion. I guess that is because the anime is so short and somewhat rushed. However, I still liked this episode!

true...but i still liked this episode.

what i feel rushed is the music part. during the first season i get to enjoy lots of music. well, probably because they are focusing on the romance part of the two.

nodame, you have to step up to chiaki and show your best.

< - Has read manga before.

I agree, it is rushed, but I believe its trying to reach a certain point (of the manga) before the season ends. I'd rather have a rushed beginning than a rushed end. If the whole thing is rush, then I'll be disappointed.

I'm grateful for a second season, but this treatment of the material is getting on my nerves. Rush, rush, rush. I can't savor a moment before they jump to a next scene! It ruins it so much. Plus the CG is horrible looking. I prefer still pictures to that.

Guess in the end, the manga is always the most superior.

But anyway, next episode: the samurai, Kuroki arrives! Looking forward to his and Tanya's scenes. x3

Not the best episode... The kiss could have been more dramatic, it didn't have much impact. Also, it's going way too fast for it's own good.

Cute, Chiaki finally shows distinct intimate affection for Nodame... it had to happen sometime.

Oh, and it looks like they were walking off to that "pervert land," (forgot the name) from the Goro anime.
