| It's back! And with the usual Nodame-ness in it as well :D |
 |
| Okay, they're already rushing a bit.At least it's the impression I had. But they need to do it to fit in 11 episodes... Well, this first episode was a little boring IMO. I hope Chiaki Kon won't mess with the plot -_- If I remember, the SMS says: "I'll be a little late, please wait for me to begin", or something like that~ |
| Yay More Nodame, need subs tho x_X |
| TIME TO LIVE FOREVER BABY! http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=19549 Please join if you love Asian Cinema :) |
| Yay!! Speed Subs Please..... |
 |
| Finally! It was funny when nodame was late www |
| Even though I knew I wouldn't get most of the conversations, I still wanted to watch this so bad! Seems like a direct sequel to Paris-hen to me, I expected them a bit to move back to Japan, but Shinichi obviously want to make an even bigger career as conductor. The OP and especially Nodame in it were adorableeeee. She never gets old, she and her classic catchphrases ;p When this show finishes, I definitely want to start reading the manga. 23 volumes plus an upcoming epilogue containing side-stories.. it's going to be some time! Even though it was to be expected from a sequel, as a first ep it didn't have that much of an impact, there wasn't a real bang, but of course, I might even have missed it for not getting the conversations. However, this is my fav' watch of the season! CHIPMUUUNKS. As a last thing, I really hope they will try to focus a bit more on their relationship, and maybe even develop it a bit more. |

| WELL-ANIMATED MUSIC PARTS. I approve. But yeah, I agree with Yuuh, it's feeling rushed already. =( |
 |
| Mukyaaaaaaaa! Awesome episode! The story is moving forward which is good but to end after 11 episodes is sad ;( Nodame practicing Bach was weird. But Chikai playing Bach was wonderful, I loved the concerto! I wonder what piece will Nodame & Chiaki will play? Hopefully a Romantic piece mukyaa! |
| good start for this season if it continues like that, Finale will easily surpass Paris-Hen HoaRy said: He should be used to her strangeness.Auclaire absolutely letting through Nodame coming to a concert with just underwear + coat xD |
| Still no subs? :'< |
Ah, it did feel a little rushed. But it's good to see the plot move so much. I'd have like to hear more of Romeo and Juliet. But Chiaki playing ♥ (But that was short, too  )Damn it, Rui reappears.  |

| No fansub team on this yet; that really scares me |
 |
HoaRy said: Yeah, I forgot about that, I think it was funny.wtf: Chiaki x Yuulong, random BL hints seem popular recently Chiaki was lonely because Nodame blew him for dinner xP |
| Jesus, man! I thought the fansubbers would be jumping all over this, but still no subs? I could only understand about half of it watching it raw. Granted it was really awesome, but I still want to understand all of it. |
| ;___; subs |
| Fuck yeah!!! It was the same old Nodame that I know and love. The OP songs still suck balls and the EDs are still meh. And that group picture that appears when the sponsors are shown is awesome. I hope the ending does not disappoint. |
| So... it's time to finally finish the fight huh? Gyabo revolutions. Oh how I missed those stiff CG animations. |
| It's strange, just before watching this first ep, I wondered why exactly I loved the first two seasons of Nodame so much, to the point of selecting them as best show of 2007 and best show of 2008 respectively. Now I know : everything is perfect from beginning to end. It's just brilliantly scripted with a wonderful sense of rythm and dialogue-writing, it has simply fantastic and touching characters, awesome music tracks and the best direction any anime has had in the past 2 or 3 years. This first episode was easily better than any episode released in 2009 except for Higashi no Eden episodes, Bakemonogatari's 12th ep and some Erin ones. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Major character insight to Chiaki's emotional armor in the father flashback. Once he sees that he is following his father's emotional footsteps, the very thing he absolutely does not want to do, maybe he can drop the thorns a bit? |
 |
| Great episode. Chiaki and Nodame's relationship were a bit rocky as usual. Good that Nodame got a concert. |

| Private power generator...so good to have this show back XD But wow Chiaka conducting and playing at the same time shows how amazing her is!!! Lol at the date with Yun Long! ^^; |
 |
| ahh...back in familiar territory. I actually kinda liked the op...and I really liked the ed. Looking forward to some great music and story...already seems like it will be better than the second season...at least the music aspect anyways. |
| LOL at how chiaki took that guy on the date. AND he fell head-over-heels for Chiaki |
 |
| My word, the OP rivals that of Allegro Cantabile. <3 Only 11 episodes though... I've already forgotten how long they have to go though... |

| The Nodame magic is back! Need to re-watch some of the last episodes from Paris-hen though since I've forgotten the sequence of events a bit, especially since I haven't pulled out the courage to finish up the manga. Gyabo~ |
 |
| Welcome back Nodame! Delightful first episode. |
 |
| I'm glad I got my dose of Gyabo~ and Mukya~ I just hope Chiaki Kon doesn't screw this up. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Yay, it's back! Actually I kinda liked the OP but the ED is better. |
 |
| Nodame sure has a quick reaction when she notices that she's too late. CG animation isn't cool. Awesome private power generator. You'd almost forget that Nodame has her serious side as well. Zeh power of love! And being turned down, as this shows: I also saw the last scene of the manga in the ending, so I guess they'll cover almost everthing untill the last volume. |

| Okay, I don't understand those of you who hate the OP. Wtf? It's really cute, not the best, but far better than Sky High from PariHen -shudder- And yayyyy I'm so happy Nodame is back <3 I've missed this show so much. I'm going to be soooo depressed when it's over ; n; |
| didnt miss a beat from paris-hen- awesome first episode |
      |
| So can anyone tell where this is in the manga? Chapter number that is. |
| I've been waiting for this episode for a long time. Great to see it, and to watch Nodame again. I'm expecting good things from this season. |
| Cried with happiness!! Chiaki = he has turned into a more beautiful man. love him! Like the OP . Love the ED . Way better than the previous seasons. Chiaki and Nodame getting a little jerky in their relationship. Cant wait to see more developement in their relationship. Nodame is just hilarious. Made my day. Why the hell is the finale 11 episode? Why? Why? Why? *fumes rushing from ears* |
 |
| Nodame is a MUST WATCH series. I'm glad it's back n///n |
 |
| Chiaki seems way more caring now. Hahaha it was funny when the güy said he was going to fall for him cuz he was so nice XD I hope he's not OVERLY nice now... I liked the ep, but would've have liked it more if they at least showed ONE scene of chiaki and nodame together... |

| The OP puts me in such a good mood. And god damn, whenever a Nodame episode starts I just don't want it to stop. Just wondering, I know that MAL says it will be 11 episodes, but where was it confirmed that this season would only be 11 episodes? (Feel free to make me look like a jackass, I would just like to know.) |
| haha~ hilarious as ever xD |
     |
| I've been really looking forward to this. It was a nice start. Nodame looks cuter this season. |
