I feel really sorry for Nodame, everyone just rejects everything she says, does and wants to do. At the same time I really want her to give up on teaching and start taking piano seriously though. I hope Eto is the guy to make that happen! I want to see Nodame perform in an orchestra or competition at her very best! Also, Chiaki always makes the wrong decisions! He should have gone home to see Nodame, dammit!

Chiaki should have left the party, or at least called Nodame. All the important stuff had already happened and I think that the orchestra members would have understood if he'd phrased it properly (or even if he hadn't if they were drunk enough).

Sometimes it just seems like he's never there when Nodame needs him, even though she would definitely be there for him if she could be.

What is the name of the music being played in the background around 15:10-15:40 when Nodame goes to talk to Tanioka-sensei? It's really familiar, but I just can't figure out what is it.

Aww, looks like Nodame is going through a relapse. You can't deny her childish charm though, all the characters for that matter have an undeniable charm to them.

Glad I'm not the only one to feel this way. Hopefully this is what totally makes this series great: when all this changes for the better.

Really good episode, sensing something happened in Nodame's past that put her away from music(Judging for the flashback when Eto hit her). Overall really good episode, looking forward to see where this goes.

Considering what Nodame was working on with her old instructor, I'm rather surprised that she wasn't encouraged to play some Debussy by Eto. The whole thing gave off a strong vibe of Golliwogg's cakewalk.

Also, no love for Enigma variations? I am very disappointed; Nimrod, in particular, is an exquisite movement. For shame, for shame. :P

The drinking party was hilarious XD "Mahler's Symphony of a Thousand!" "LET'S GET MARRIED!" "And I'll be the soloist!" "I'm getting a divorce!"

Then the ending was so damn sad! :( Poor poor Nodame. Everyone keeps crushing her down. Stupid Chiaki.

Poor Nodame… Why is Chiaki never there when she needs him the most? I know he’s busy, he has things to do, but he could’ve left that party and go to her house to check on her; Nodame was there for him when he relapsed and cheered him up…

I still want Nodame to take the initiative and use her talent for good, though.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

I didn't like how everyone just destroyed her dream by saying suff like.."this isn't for you" or "you will be the worst" yada yada it's not cool let her be what she wants to be damnit :(

Now Nodame is turning emo...but we all know what she needs is just to recharge her Chiaki energy lvls ;)

Btw i hate teachers like the guy with the harisen...they put me on my nerves

Nodame is talented at music, but her heart is set on teaching. What a shame that nobody seems to support her (and that Ito guy and Chiaki's sister were the worst).

Father and son, so similar with glasses and their standing style xD Yuiko is so adorable and so honest xD Poor Nodame, finally got a new teacher. The Mojya-whatever song was so funny xD Nodame is such a rebel, didn't expect it.

Mine got his girl and got divorced xD I loved the gathering scene. Nodame sure has it rough...I don't want her to be like that. She needs a good romantic scene with Chiaki.

That duo at the beginning was sweet. Music brought that father and son together :3

That scene at the bar was hilarious, everyone acting like kid xD

Nodame was depressing this episode, she was so melancholic at the end...

Next episode, it look like she get close to that oboe guy. Maybe Chiaki will get jealous?

Scraggly-chan's Rainbow haha. I'd buy the album.

Nodame just needs to touch Chiaki and she'll recover. I hope :(

Heartwarming beginning scene with the family bond again through music.

A bit hard to watch Chiaki and his family shut down Nodame's dream like that but they do mean well because what they were saying was the truth. Pure honesty probably where Chiaki got it from.

It's surprising to hear that Nodame had a bit of a traumatic experience and can also spoke in a different tone/dialect.

I want Chiaki to go check up on Nodame but I would totally understand if he didn't because things have just begun and you would most likely want to have it go perfect.

Nodame got a serious wake up call.

They are right, she'd be a terrible teacher who would get bullied all the time.

Music school is a serious thing, not a place for doodling around like she has been the whole time. She does need to either get serious or move on and stop acting like she's 5.

I am SOOO Happy that this anime started getting more serious. I'm glad I stuck it out, even when I wanted to drop it.

It seems like Nodame flashbacks are coming up pretty soon. I'm excited.
