It was very different from what I expected, but I’m so glad I watched this masterpiece. It was wonderful, and I truly enjoyed the final episode. I really appreciate how beautifully the main characters developed throughout the story. I love this show so much!

Synopsis
Shinichi Chiaki is a first class musician whose dream is to play among the elites in Europe. Coming from a distinguished family, he is an infamous perfectionist—not only is he highly critical of himself, but of others as well. The only thing stopping Shinichi from leaving for Europe is his fear of flying. As a result, he's grounded in Japan. During his fourth year at Japan's top music university, Shinichi happens to meet Megumi Noda or, as she refers to herself, Nodame. On the surface, she seems to be an unkempt girl with no direction in life. However, when Shinichi hears Nodame play the piano for the first time, he is in awe of the kind of music she creates. Nevertheless, Shinichi is dismayed to discover that Nodame is his neighbor, and worse, she ends up falling head over heels in love with him. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Quick Takes
View all 69 takesIt feels like the show is almost over. I really love the music and the concerts, but to be honest, I feel bad for Chiaki and Nodame because they don’t seem happy, and I still don’t fully understand what’s happening to them. I can’t wait to watch the final episode. I’m ready for it!
I love these episodes. They’re full of music, and this one especially because it focused on Nodame’s performance. I honestly didn’t want the episode to end. It was amazing — exactly the kind of episode I wanted to see and hear. I’m really excited for the next ones.
