Go away Saiko, no one likes you. I wonder when Chiaki will get over his fear of flying or boating.

I just love how "Konna ni Chikaku de" fades in at the end of each episode. It seems to fit the mood perfectly every time.

Nodame's happy go lucky attitude and Chiaki's seriousness have a interesting chemistry.

I was hoping for another Sensual opening for Nodame at the very last part

Seriously, go away Saiko!!! However, I guess she helped with Chiaki grasping what he feels for Nodame and compaing it to how others feel towards him.

After watching this episode and going to sleep, I had a dream I was Nodame and over the span of time won Chiaki over...actually, it was more like Itazura na Kiss and this combined...

I was then forced to compare the characters of that main dude (who I never forgave for being such a dick) and Chiaki...and while they're both cocky self-serving little pricks, at least Chiaki is a redeemable dick and ends up being mostly human in the end. If I predict correctly they're make Chiaki a better person gradually throughout the show. If they don't then I'm gonna have to punch a baby and lop it right in there with Itazura. ::slaps Itazura author::

I think at the end Nodame was probably just seeing how long she could keep her hand on Chiaki's head before he'd complain ; )

Nodame’s so simple and conformist… She doesn’t have ambition. I understand Chiaki’s concern over her future, and I’m happy he’s showing he cares about her. I hope he helps her and makes her change at least a little bit.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

nodame and chiaki are perfect for each other, i can already see that they will help eachother grow and develop into better musicians/people.

i feel bad for saiko - when she was with chiaki, id bet he was super difficult to deal with. any NORMAL person would probably keep fighting with him - this is why nodame is the perfect compliment..she is so "different" and doesnt take the harsh abuse seriously... lol. shes the yang to his yin

I really want Chiaki to show some love for Nodame in this next half of Nodame Cantabile. It's always been one-sided, and it's cute, but I really want to be warmed in these later episodes with Chiaki also learning to appreciate Nodame ^_^

Although Nodame did upset me with her notion of being satisfied... I feel like she doesn't care about music as much as I thought she did :( She just is so impulsive... and idk, I just can't explain. She's able to dismiss music so easily, there's no real passion, it's just instinctive for her. Idk. But I mean, I'm fine with her being a kindergarten teacher. She has talent and all, but if it's what you want to do, go ahead ^_^ I just wish she took music more seriously and with more passion.

But this first half of Nodame Cantabile was great :) Especially with me being a total music nerd XDD On to the next episode! And hopefully some more romance ;)

Nodame is so unpopular when it comes to music, she needs to have her own name around.

This is it, Nodame reminds me of Chihaya from Chihayafuru! I was wondering who she was like... Still not fond of Masumi, tossing the candy away.

Poor Chiaki and his fears. This show is so informative and now I am getting so feels with the graduation coming soon... A sensitive subject for me and I always can't handle it in my anime coz it is so sad.. He is worried for her and even compliment her, OTP feels!

That ending song always make me emotional when it begins. It's like I am swimming in the world of music xD

Each episode ending is executed so well ... The urge to keep watching is over 9000 (T_T) ...
There’s no hope on the battlefield.
It has nothing but unspeakable despair.
Just a crime we call victory, paid for by the pain of the defeated.
Yet humanity has never recognized this truth.
And the reason for that is, in every era,
a dazzling hero has blinded people with their legends and prevented them from seeing the evil of bloodshed.
The true nature of humanity has not advanced a step beyond the Stone Age!

It's awesome to hear that both Noda and Chiaki were playing piano. The former had a lot of potential, but she didn't want to aim higher. Oh lol.
Chiaki's girlfriend was envious again...
LOL @ the music critic's poem.
The last part was kawaii. He admitted that he worries for Nodame-chan. <3
