I laughed when he proposed and was rejected, it was funny.

When Nodame was clinging to Chiaki, I felt simpathy for her, it was a bit hurtful to see her like that...

Well if Milch did solely come for Chiaki then this resort camp's purpose is probably just to get Chiaki to respect Milch more so he can possibly go overseas in the future.

Once again yet another good episode.

Honestly if Milch had left I wouldn't really have minded so much, but I'll admit his character has grown on me.

Also, as soon as you think you've figured out the direction this series will take, it completely changes it up.

I think that it's Chopin's Nocturne 55 No. 1.

Yeah, I was looking for the romance to actually go somewhere. Frankly that's why I started this show. Also, I think Nodame should be used in a way other than just a comedy character. I mean, yeah she is very funny, but I just wish there was more to her than that.

Also, Chiaki is just being a douche, and I don't mean in a Eva Heineman well developed way either. He has his moments, though.

Not saying I don't enjoy this show, because I do. I can definitely appreciate the music theme of this series and all. I also like the direction this episode seemed to steer the series in. But, I want some character development damnit.

Using Chiaki as Bikini!Nodame’s bait to get her to play strip rock-paper-scissors. Dirty old man. I actually thought he left to Germany and wouldn’t return for a long time… He came back very fast, LOL. His proposition and instant rejection from the principal made me laugh.

Nodame’s dream seems so fitting for her~♥ I hope it becomes true.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

If it is classical music Chopin's pieces are always one of my favs so i really enjoyed Nodame's playing

So what's the deal with Chiaki? why don't they knock him out cold and put him on an airplane or something??

It's because Chiaki is more of a gentleman type.He wouldn't treat a woman that way, Nodame or not.

I was expecting them to share an umbrella but they didn't show it. Nodame in that swimsuit, gyabo!!! Now I want to read a fanfic about these two... The chairman sure was graceful and beautiful and even now is. Their smiles XD I love Nodame's style of playing piano so much. Nodame's dreams are the cutest xD The manager was feeding jerky to Chiaki, lol. Nodame x Chiaki forever, one of my favorite pairings now!

Oh, so he really came to teach. Weirdly, I didn't saw that coming xD

He saw a potential in Chiaki, I guess he can correct his flaws.

I always like to hear Nodame play, it's just pure happiness :)

It's nice to see the story showing it's more serious side.

Hearing Stresseman's backstory was interesting and gives him a bit more depth.

Milch is still great, though he's a perverted man.
So he likes Chiaki-senpai
I can see Nodame as a kindergarten teacher and as Chiaki's wife.

I dunno. Eight episodes in and I can't seem to care about any of the characters, what they want to do, or anything that's happening really. If anything, I view most of the characters negatively; they're annoying. I can only hope they become better-- that everything becomes better.

Another great episode, romance seems to be heading somewhere now, great! I hope Nodame matures a bit now! Same for Chiaki, seems like he's only focused on music and nothing else in life. Well, we'll see. And that Old Man doesn't seem that bad after all.

This episode got me quite anxious, with this pile of vague information. I can see how Milch ended up alone, he's a moron, really. Players either grow out of their "playing," or end up alone, that's always how it goes. Love or not. However, I bet Milch was running after that lady just like Nodame is running after Chiaki right now, so his advice to Nodame could end up being insanely useful.

Bleh, I just hope this show will feature a longer excerpt of Rach's Piano Concerto 2 at some point. Just watching for the music at this point. The rest is super immature to outright offending. No idea why some people said this show is a more mature version of Shigatsu.
