    Watch this. Now. It's about two people who're in music college and their relationship to each other. Pretty simple, but damn, it's fun to watch. It also allows people who don't usually listen to Classical music to listen in and enjoy the pieces.

    I'm such a fan of this show, I ended up *ahem* "getting" the series, the CDs, and watching the live action....it's great.

    I started to watch the show. It's very cute. A nice shoujo.

    4 senzu beans. heh

    They way the two main characters react together is worth a laugh.

    Nodame and Chiaki make great central characters in a Tsukkomi-style comedy. The secondary cast is awesome though, and it keeps the show lively without boring you to death with just the two main characters.

    Thanks for watching this great anime! ;) I love it, and seriously wish that more people watch it.

    I've heard of it before and saw pictures but never knew this was the series the pictures were from.

    I shall check it out. <3

    Can anyone else tell that Chiaki so cares for Nodame?

    I must admit Nodame goes way past werid.

    I did finish the anime.

    So time to check out the LA Drama. To bad it isn't all out yet.

    Do the c.d.'s include some of the classical music they played?

    BTW was anyone else confused by the sex of Masumi? I figured it out near the end. I guess I am not used to the open feelings/admiration of people.

    The episode where Masumi is introduced is when Mine tells Nodame he's a man but he still loves Chiaki.

    By mid-series especially, you can tell Chiaki's feelings, even though he's not willing to admit it to himself.

    Bash, if you want, I can send you all my Nodame music. It's about...9-11 or so CDs. o_O

    And yes, they're the music from the show -- some complete, some shortened.

    The way Masumi acted though kind of made me question it. I loved it when the next one joined in. Hehe. Poor Chiaki.

    Yeah, Chiaki is really dense for someone so smart. I loved when he got angry when Nodame wasn't there. xD

    Any help getting the music would be great. I can only get the 1 OP and 2 ED.

    I should start searching for the Manga.

    You should. The main manga hub that I link myself to has very little of it. However, it seems to follow the anime very closely -- and the anime has the added benefit of the musical score.


    I can snail mail you a CD if you really wanted them.

    Killer, Izzy.

    Have yet to get the first chapters in the manga. Does it continue after the anime? Or isn't it there yet?

    My take on the LA is that it is a little extreme but funny.

    No where near the end yet of the anime, from where I got it. Then again, I haven't really been keeping up with the manga...

    I'll send it (the DVD with the songs) ASAP.

    Okay, got home and checked, the furthest I've seen is Volume 4, which ends roughly at the end of the Nagano Music Festival (right after Chiaki gets assigned to do Rachmaninov's concerto for his own school's Festival). But, there is a story after about Nodame's piano teacher when she was young...good side story that. :D

    Not the one that made Nodame got traumatized? Like in the anime?

    I found Volume 15 chapters 83-86

    It takes up well after the anime. Now I must do something...

    So the story does continue.
