    Nodame Cantabile

    This is one of the series that I am really interested in, because I been hearing great things about it, and the manga/live-action is really popular right now. Wow, what a nice voice cast this series is going to have, you can look at the bottom for notable voice actors, looks good!

    Based on the awarded shoujo manga by Tomoko Ninomiya.

    Shinichi Chiaki is the top piano student at his university and an excellent violinist, but Chiaki doesn`t care about playing these instruments as much as he dreams of someday being a conductor. Chiaki, however, has several deeply rooted fears about traveling, and so finds himself "trapped" in Japan. Because he`s trapped, Chiaki starts to question exactly how far he can possibly go in music, especially when he`s passed over again and again for others he thinks are less worthy of musical scholarship and fame.

    Recently dumped by his girlfriend for a "sausage" looking fellow, passed over for a chance to go overseas, removed from his star spot in the piano competition because he walked out on his piano instructor, Chiaki is at his limit. This is when he meets Nodame, or Megumi Noda. Nodame is a free — if filthy — spirit who reminds Chiaki that music can be fun. She reminds him what drew him to be a conductor in the first place and, in learning how to deal with Nodame, Chiaki learns how to deal with others. Chiaki begins to realize what is possible for him, even on the tiny island of Japan.

    For Nodame, Chiaki is everything she isn`t. Clean, neat, dedicated, studious and inherently arrogant about his accomplishments and capabilities, Chiaki constantly bullies her into being more serious about life. He sees potential in her and her abilities as a pianist that she doesn`t care about. She loves Chiaki and wants to be with him, but, because she`s not serious about her piano studies nor her personal hygiene, Chiaki denies her affections again and again.

    But Chiaki and Nodame complete each other in ways no other can, a musical compliment that neither of them can completely escape entirely. Watching them grow as people and musicians, and even as a couple, is an interesting ride.

    YAY!! This is finally here!!
    I have seen the live-action and it was absolutely fantastic. I am extremely anxious to see how the anime will turn out. However, I think it'll take me a little time to re-adjust to the voices since the current voice actors/actresses are most likely going to sound different from the live-action cast (ahh, who cares though, change is sometimes good ^_^ )

    I can't say the plot would sound that interesting to me, but you are absolutely correct about the voice actor cast - it looks outrageously great. Well, only time can tell whether I end up having a look at this or not.

    episode 1 lets test this puppy out =D
    Favorite Gotwoot Mod moment: "Why is everyone in that show black? The art and music are pretty good, and the voice acting is alrite as well......but i can't stand that guy who follows afro around. Hes so, well, black, for the lack of a better term (well thats not true, there is a better term, but i wont use it here)" Assassin

    i was raised by this woman =O

    So, how is this turning out? Apparently the first airing was popular in Japan:

    Nodame Cantabile Breaks Late Night Record
    Nodame Cantabile's 1 a.m. broadcast on January 11 scored a record-breaking 5.4% rating in Japan. The previous late night anime record of 4.8% was held by Hajime no Ippo.

    I thought the first episode was pretty good. All the voice actors so far have done a great job in getting the characters down. The pacing seems a little fast and itty bitty details are left out, but those are extremely minor.
    The only thing that bugged me about it is that it didn't seem as wacky as it should be. I just feel that the funny parts could've been.... funnier and there is the lack of background music which just made the live-action... wacky, haha.

    Hmm.... I just have a feeling that I'm kinda biased, so it's probably better to listen to someone who has seen the anime only.

    Never thought this thread would go up.

    It was a very nice, soothing and refreshing anime.

    The choice of tunes was nice too, most of them I didn't know, but they were
    very nice to hear. I guess I'll have to rewatch this show and note the names, so that
    I can hear them in better conditions.

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    Finished the series... this was a really good series. Guess it's time to hunt down the manga to continue the story. The story does continue right?

    I hope so, the show was good enough to make me actually want to read the manga and find out what happens. The ending was excellent.

    Well, I FINALLY got around to finishing this series and I gotta say, what an awesome series! Except for the awkward music animations, this show excelled in everything: animation, voice actors, story, etc. BRING ON THE SECOND SEASON!

    Ahh, my only complaint: THEY DIDN'T SHOW THE KOTATSU BIT (yeargh)!! Honestly, I don't know if that part is in the manga or if it was some sort of filler in the live-action, but taking out my absolute favorite bit was a huge disappointment for me. It is definitely the funniest part of Nodame Cantabile so far.

    Not a rumor, just something I just blurted out, sorry. As far as I'm aware, I think there's enough material for a second season; I know that the live-action is having a second season, although I don't know how many episodes they'll do or when it will be released.

    Some sort of a DVD special.

    Special 1 - KanjiSub

    It's only 15 minutes but worth watching although nothing truly extraordinary. It takes place in the middle of the series so it's not revealing anything new as such (so, this is not like the live action specials that continued the story in Europe).

    Do you know if there's a HD disc for it, meaning we could have a HD sub someday as it was for part of the show?
