----------------------------------------
Highlight of this episode was definitely Elise's impersonation of Nodame, it seemed very accurate.

Episode needs real music
Chiaki better hurry up and grab her, but never let go this time. Perhaps he can't devote his whole heart o her because of music, but I want a super happy ending at the end of this all. =[

lol @ Nausicaa reference.

Nodame's traveling ep.

lol @Elise's voice imitation to Nodame. Why the hell is Stresseman blaming on Chiaki while it's his own fault!

I second that bluepig! I was not happy with the manga ending at all, but I wouldn't be surprised if they end it the same way as the manga.

I just wish the Opera-hen manga chapters would get translated soon. Nodame needs a definitive Coda.

Argh! They completely omitted Yadovi? I was looking forward to seeing her animated.

Another great episode...reallllllly hoping for a decent ending, but I'm getting the feeling that it might not end that way D:

The last 4 or 5 episodes seemed to have passed by so fast, it's hard to believe that there is only one ep left. ಥ_ಥ

Exactly. It was spot on and damn funny.

The video clip of Nodame and the children was sweet and I couldn't help but think the same thing that Chiaki did when he saw it.

Chiaki go get your girl! Now!

The 1st scene were people got shocked over Nodame's appearance on the internet was the best, all the way it made me the "goose-bumps" thing.

Woah! what is she doing in egypt lol the closet scene was very teary I really thought she will follow it up with Chiaki's shirt as an energizer =) but not and I think this is the very 1st ep were she cried - emotionally??

Noda playing Mojami song with the kids was cute

one more episode to go!! I guess, Chiaki and Nodame concerto will be made - history!!!

for anyone wondering what was on the written on the board game.

loved her fan in Egypt and the scene in the storage closet. in this case i think the anime actually did it better than the manga. in terms of impact anyway. mostly thanks to the voice actors.

I'm also hoping for a different ending than the manga, though I'm not really expecting it.

This episode made me tear up a little. Its amazing really to see how far the characters have come along. I feel sorry for Nodame, so scared and unsure of what to do. Feeling drawn towards the piano while she hates/loves it so much. It seems she retreated a bit going back to playing the Moja-Moja suite again.
It's obvious that Nodame still needs Chiaki, and at the end it seemed like he was willing to meet her wherever she was. Saying he'll accept her proposal.

I haven't read the manga simply because the main genre here is music. But though the anime is better, would the manga reach the mark of the anime?? or there's a continuation from season 3 in the manga?

I really don't know what to think now. In some ways all this talk about how bad the ending is in the manga has got me nervous. On one hand I want to read it to see what happens. On the other hand I want to wait and not spoil it. What to do? Oh well I'll take Ralonzo's advice and not read it. But from this episode it seems that Nodame has some hard choices to make.( Edit: From jacobpaige's link) to the board game it appears clear that Merry Chiaki and continue becoming a brighter star as a musician, was clearly not one of the options. I'm getting a strange feeling that she's going to head back to Japan and become a school teacher. I hope that isn't her choice.

YEAH! That really stinks that they didn't include her BUT this could mean that they might end the anime differently than the manga!!

Hmmmm. This one seemed so hurried. Still, I can't wait for the last ep! Haven't read the manga yet, but will after it's all over. I wonder what Nodame is thinking ... and I wonder what Chiaki will do ... and I wonder how it will all end! I agree, if she simply goes back to Japan to be a schoolteacher - what a waste.

My dear, I was a bit teary-eyed when the ED started to play..
I wished they didn't know the 'climax' of the next episode, but if it truly will play out like they showed us, it will be nothing less than perfect. Aaaaah!..

Wait wait, when I saw the pyramids of Cheops, I was like 'Egypt?! Oh no you didn't!'..
Haha, that sure was a great moment, but at the same time so reckless.

(And please don't spoil the manga ending for the non-readers, please, I want to get reading that as well. ;) )

NOOOOO. They have been removing or replacing some things from the manga I loved sooo muuuuch ;___; For example, the scene with coughChiaki'sdadcough. Aaarrrgh.

I want to cry. But I'm not even sure if it's because the replaced scenes, or the fact that the next will be the last episode... or just the fact of seeing Nodame sing so cheerfully and Chiaki finally showing he deeply cares about her. AAAAH.

I love Nodame Cantabile so fucking much. Sniff.

Same here. I was waiting for that moment till the end.... but i loved how they made it in the anime - meaning that Chiaki figured it out by himself xD It was the best when he said he's gonna accept :)
Can't wait to see how they wrap this story up. No matter how they do it, though, one this is clear - Chiaki and Nodame seem to be going toward a steady relationship, so it kind of obvious they're gonna stay together.....

Great episode but it's sad that the there is only one episode left. This season definitely feels rushed. I miss the Nodame/Chiaki interaction from the first season...

I don't know that this was what I was looking for in the penultimate episode of Nodame. It felt slow, but rushed at the same time. It was funny in parts, but nowhere near as poignant or introspective for Nodame as I needed it to be. The best scene was her being stopped by the random guy in Egypt telling her how touched he was by her performance. But I didn't get to see enough of her reaction or thoughts. I can only hope that she'll choose to be an artist and strive to give people the feeling that she has when she listens to Chiaki. But then I question if that kind of maturity is even in her character. All I can remember is someone's comments from last week saying that all she knows how to do is run away. I don't want to believe it because, like Charles, I've hoped for just the opposite.

I'm going to go crazy until I see it for myself.

me too :-/ and I'm really worried... what will she chose? there's too much possibilities for just one (ending) episode. i'm so sad :(
but that part, nodame playing piano with the kids, is so sweet :)

I don't why people hate the ending of the manga so much... O.o A little disappointing coz we want a grand ending but I love it still! Overall story of Nodame Cantabile is really nice that's why it's my top fave manga! I could say it felt rushed but all in all, I think it's appropriate...

The anime left out a few things.. but it is still very endearing! Love Nodame so much! Mukyaaa~! XD

Nodame deeply cares about Chiaki to have been able to cry like that. Also yay for Chiaki for accepting her proposal.
