Nodame Cantabile Series
Tagged under Tomoko Ninomiya, J.C. Staff, Series.
Nodame Cantabile is a shoujo romance comedy set at a music university.
When Shinichi Chiaki was little, he traveled the great stages of Europe with his father,
absorbing classical music. Although he learned to play piano and violin, his ambition was to one day become a world
famous conductor like his mentor, Sebastien Viera.
Now a piano student at Momogaoka University, Chiaki still
harbors ambitions of returning to Europe to study conducting under Viera, except for his fear of flying (and traveling
by ship.) He turns his frustration into his music. Every at the school is awful, he thinks, until he meets a strange
girl named Megumi Noda (Nodame), who is incredibly skilled at piano - and
who turns out to be his very messy neighbor. The two don't hit it off, but are forced to take a piano lesson together
anyway.
Meanwhile, the clandestine arrival of famous German conductor Franz Von Stresemann sends the school into disarray as Stresemann decides to create his
own orchestra consisting of what the school assumes are its misfit students -- and Stresemann taps Chiaki to conduct.
Through a series of lessons, mishaps, performances, and trials, Chiaki, Nodame, the students of Stresemann's orchestra
and the rest of the school learn more about the classical music they're studying as well as themselves.

Ephemeral-Garden's Nodame Cantabile Tv Review
Rated:
The overall presentation of the anime is thumbs up. The use of CG is not really to my liking, but does not seriously affecting the presentation of the whole anime.
The quirkiness of the characters are sometimes visible in some episodes but once you are concentrated on listening to their orchestra performance you tend to forget about anything. (Well that happened in my case)
Basically, Nodame Cantabile is an interesting story insert with a lot of classical music and also a whole lot dose of comedic scenes which will make you laugh your heart out.
I really enjoyed Nodame Cantabile in overall, but I was really disappointed at the fact that they would not be able to continue the 2nd season due to the lack of budget. I am really looking forward to the next season no matter what.

I haven't saw the finale or the Paris arc (if I'm not mistaken), but I think the anime was really fun to watch.
Even thou Megumi usually screw things up, I can't help but love her for that. She is such a weird person and her love
for Chiaki is too much, no wonder Chiaki wished to broke up with her (saw the trailer for Finale). I don't think I'll be
able to handle someone like Megumi.
So, about the story? Well, I think it's pretty interesting, a girl who couldn't read music score, yet she can play(with
some mistake along the way) piano. That's new for me, cause I couldn't read music score, but I listen and sing, really
troublesome. The art is moderate, but still, most of the male characters looks 'kakoi' to me. :D
Though not many may agree, in my opinion, this is the best anime ever. It's clean and contains some useful stuff and
lessons. It made me like classical music even more and it even made me want to go to Paris!
I have only seen the jdrama, but I LOVED it. I didn't think I would at first because it was about a music school, but it had such a great cast! And the orchestra did a great job on each of the pieces that they played. I didn't really care for Chiaki's conducting, but Nodame's antics were great! I loved how they were able to create an anime-ish feeling to the drama. ^_^

raflesia rated 9.00:I've seen all three series, but I have not done a comparison with the manga ... I must say that I liked very much, Nodame is a really crazy and interesting character, and even Chiaki Senpai .... and the music is wonderful, no need to comment .. to be an anime for music lovers, with a difficult subject, I think is very successful^^
