    It has been a while, but it was certainly a very good episode to bring the series back to us. However, hadn't Nodame told Chiaki before that she wants "only" to become to a kindergarden teacher? Maybe I remember incorrectly, but I was pretty sure she had mentioned it before. Well, I guess it was somebody else. Nice reflection, though, that Chiaki suddenly realised he was blaming Nodame for the exact same thing that got him so pissed off with the reporters.

    And the "But with someone from your home planet!" scene/line was just too funny, no matter how worn-out it is...

    The pair is as far apart as north and south, but yet in the middle they still always meet.

    Indeed. This was a bit different episode as it was completely removed from the university and all the previously familiar people. Also, Chiaki's family (or what was present of it) was somewhat different than I expected. I thought it would be some old-fashioned uber strict bunch of people but rather it was a shapeless, modern business-comes-first-with-unhappiness collection of people. Chiaki seemed a little out of place there, but on the other hand he's a strong personality, so there's no reason why he couldn't be one way even if people around weren't that way. Though the head of the family seemed to advocate the best of the best mentality Chiaki used to follow as well.

    Well, at least the little girl and Nodame became friends. It would have been painful to watch the hyper cliched little girl vs adult girl jealousy drama...

    Well, you say that they were the business comes first type, and Yes at this time I could see that. but it did say throughout the episode that they were not always that way. I guess the grandfather was the glue that binded the family to the fun loving musical type. After his death it seems they just all went their own way, and the father being the "business-comes-first" cause the family to fall apart.

    I am not sure if it was just me, but I saw foreshadowing to the future self of Chiaki. The grandfather was the glue that binded the family and kept things fun and light. To me, Chiaki seems to be transforming into that type of individual. Since Chiaki met Nodame he has changed and seems to be enjoying himself more.

    I hope that all made sense and I hope this will be more than one season. I am loving this anime.

    Even though some of the material was supposed to be mood killer scenes, like the son at dinner, I was laughing through most of this episode. From the phone call, just about all the way to the end. Nodame shined the entire time. Like Kraco said, Nodame instantly making friends with Yukio instead of some jealously was a nice change. We have no idea how they became such good friends, but skipping all of that right to them destroying things while playing was great.

    I think it's not Chiaki that would become the glue to that family, but the Nodame/Chiaki pair. Chiaki alluded to his past visits, and them being mostly the same. Chiaki doesn't make the air any less tense in that house. Nodame instantly changes everything. However they went from glaring to playing, she captured Yukio's heart, and she's already begun breaking through whatever walls the other son has placed up. The Nabe pot (that Chiaki actually did the work on) started to bring the family back together, and her desire to play music with Chiaki will bring back the feeling of the old house. Though she needs Chiaki for a lot of the work, Nodame is the fresh breeze to revitalize that house

    So, you're saying Nodame's sort of a catalyst...

    Nodame owned. This show does not disappoint. I totally loved this episode.
    Loved the ending transition.

    Well, a lot of people will probably be put off by the name, or the fact that they started later in the series and are actually keeping a reasonably good pace... but Hard-Gay Fansubs is doing a pretty respectable job on their releases.

    Hard-Gay episode 15
    Hard-Gay episode 16
    Hard-Gay episode 17
    Hard-Gay episode 18

    Go! Download! Enjoy! Nodame!

    Edit: updated links to scarywater

    apparently they're having all sorts of strange random issues going on. Just hit their scarywater page, or search TokyoTosho. Or maybe mininova, if you're bored ...

    The series is getting very good ^_^ Still i find it very cheap that nodame can use that trick on Chiaki when the professional doctors couldn't. (Sorry for the vagueness but don't want to spoil anything ^_^)

    I think it's a trust/relaxation issue.

    Finally caught up! Excellent developments across the board, Nodame with motivation, Chiaki on airplane (The cousin carrying him down the jetway was priceless) and Mine x Kiyora...WTF pwnage!
