^ Nodame is definitely the highlight in the comedy aspect of this series. So far the cast of characters are so warm and have this charming aspect to them, even without being super original.

Nodame makes this series more funny - that her "gabyoooo" or however should I write it xD
Chiaki is a devil (a moment when two guys played a prank on him) - loved it.

Wow, I didn’t expect Stresemann to teach Chiaki a lesson about making an orchestra harmonize and blend properly… Nobody can change the fact he’s a dirty old man, though… Old habits die hard.

Chiaki has potential to become an excelling conductor; he knows by ear who’s out of tune or in the wrong tempo. He just has to work on dealing with people, developing his charisma, because the mood of a piece influences in its execution; if the performers are under pressure the sound will be tighter and begin to deviate from the melody. That’s what Stresemann is able to.

When the oboe and clarinet guy swapped, Chiaki’s expression was priceless. The devil unleashed.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

Haha, bravo Stresemann. Turns out the lecherous old fart has a rightfully-earned reputation. I loved the contrast between his style and Chiaki's, and the resulting difference in atmosphere--it was a bit cheesy but very well done. It's nice that they both have new found respect for each other (for the most part).

Though I find it hard to believe that a performance major clarinetist would have to use a "bad reed" excuse =/

Fantastic episode, filled with laughs. 5/5

great episode

im still 50-50 about the old pervert, but he really is the only one at that school or maybe in all of japan to bring out chiaki's true potential

chiaki has all the technical aspects down, but when it comes down to managing the individuals (which a conductor must do)- he will learn from the best'

I simply loved it.
I'm glad Nodame didn't kiss Stresemann...

And i hope Chiaki learned his lesson..he may have mastered the musical aspect to it but he can't just leave out the human factor..humans aren't instrument playing machines so you gotta have them respect and encourage them to blend a harmonious mix

Stupid perverted sensei but I don't hate him... This anime is so realistic, people think others are god-gifted or something. They don't realize the effort they put into and ignore this factor. Just keep getting depressed coz of pointless reasons with how they are useless and keep getting jealous...

God, this anime is strengthing my passion for music so damn much! I have always dreamt of learning piano and violin. Don't do this to me...

So as I though, he failed at directing the orchestra. But in the end, he learned a good and saw that an orchestra must be considered like a family.

I'm glad she didn't kiss him xD
She's a real brute HYAHHH~!

So that old jiji will become is sensei. I don't know how Nodame will deal with that old perv :P

So it seems like Milch planned having Nodame punch him so that he could fake getting knocked out and have Chiaki try to lead the crappy orchestra. Pretty interesting way in teaching Chiaki a lesson.

Although Chiaki failed, he still had a lot of potential. Of course, that was his first try.
Although that old man is pervert, he's still a maestro. But yeah, he's pervert.
Noda strikes again with hitting Milch so hard.
A very entertaining episode.

Well, I was fairly enjoying this anime, the light-hearted comedy got a fair number of chuckles out of me (despite the characters being variations of commons tropes in anime, hardly anything original) until Milch/Stresemann came along. While this is not the first anime to take sexual harassment lightly, for some reason the treatment here made me feel very uneasy. He is completely forgiven for trying to seduce an unwitting student, and even attempting to extort favours, just because he happens to say three or four good things in one scene. Didn't like Masumi's portrayal either, but I suppose that falls under how all characters are pretty much variations of anime stereotypes.

Disappointed, going to stop watching.

The old man is still a really annoying deviant, however, he values music truly. Chiaki seems to have learned quite a lot from him. Nodame is cute clinging to Chiaki like that, haha.
