It was a pretty good season. Some of the orchestra playing scenes certainly showed horrible animation, but animating someone playing an instrument is a real pain (I know from experience, ehheh), so I will forgive them. The end point wasn't all bad, though, as it basically ended showing Chiaki succeeding in redeeming the orchestra. It was a conclusion of a sort considering the orchestra was in a pretty much ruined state when he joined.

Things move really slowly between Chiaki and Nodame. As if this was a shounen series, not josei. But I guess it's the comedy factor that slows them down so much.
