| 4:08pm | Nodame Cantabile ends |  | | | Nodame stayed good throughout, and there’s very little I can add to the original “it puts the com back into romcom”, although the show is certainly is more than just that. In the end it was “come for com, stay for direction”. Characters were quite appealing. I especially... | | |
| 5:53am | [Ascaloth/Akira] Nodame Cantabile ~Paris Chapter~, Episode 2 | | | | Just as my choice of the first picture of the article might suggest, viewing Episode 2 of ~Paris Chapter~ has left me in an altogether foul mood. The chop-and-dice that J.C. Staff did in Episode 1 was understandable, given that the material it covered wasn’t that crucial to the overall storyline... | | |
| 12:34am | Nodame Cantabile Paris-hen #02 | | | | The second episode was a surprise to me because the Platini Competition, which was an arduous trial to Chiaki, was covered quickly and concluded within the span of the episode. And I noticed that the animation for the arms of the musicians was very ‘computerised’ is that the way one is... | | |
| 6:28am | Face Off: Ray vs. Mike on Kannagi |  | | | Mike: What is it that makes me like this show so far? Is it the very catchy OP song? (I have it stuck in my head right now.) Or the not-quite-as-cliched interaction between Jin and Nagi, though objectively speaking it’s not anything particularly new? I’m not sure, really. All that I know... | | |

While I haven’t covered everything, I’ve seen most of the worthwhile shows.

| 6:32am | Nodame is good 05-07 |  | | | Nodame Cantabile was a bad mistake on my part. The premise seemed completely uninteresting to me and I tuned out all the blogging about it. But in the event, it offers extremely entertaining character comedy. Especially Milch is an enigma and an amalgam of ordinarily incompatible traits. But everyone... | | |
| 8:20pm | Autumn ‘08 impressions: week 1 | | | | This past weekend was spent watching anime, lots and lots of anime, and below you can read my findings. Having come perilously close to losing my sanity at several points over the last few days, the scariest thing is that there is still so much I’m waiting to see, not least of all the majority... | | |

The new story arc will run in Nodame Cantabile’s former late-night Noitamina timeslot in Japan. Both Tomoko Ninomiya’s... | | |
| 2:03am | Nodame Cantabile (01) (Episode by Episode) | | | | I really enjoyed "Nodame Cantabile" when it first aired - I watched both the live action version as well as the anime version and I guess the combination of a light-hearted comedy/love story and classical music setting was something that worked for me. Well, maybe that's an understatement.I haven't... | | |
| 7:00pm | nodame cantabile paris 1 | | | | They actually animated the far away shot of the orchestra, something that wasn’t done in season one where JC Staff just used stills. Still, the animation quality is sparse for a modern high definition series. In the previous season, they made up for it by not using canned orchestral performances.... | | |
| 5:59pm | Nodame Cantabile Paris-hen #01 | | | | Paris will never be the same.A while ago, I stated that I am not interested in doing episodic blogging but Nodame Cantabile Paris-hen is one anime that I wish to share my opinion and joys of it with everyone. Having seen the first season, I became an instant fan of the show because of its easily likable... | | |
| 2:07pm | [Ascaloth] Nodame Cantabile ~Paris Chapter~, Episode 1 | | | | In 2001, a photograph of a piano being played by a female music college student in a messy room was posted up on the bulletin board of a particular website. This website was run by Ninomiya Tomoko, a manga artist who was looking for ideas for a new serial publication at the time. The name of the female... | | |
| 10:33pm | Nodame Cantabile - Paris Arc ep.01 | | | | OP Theme: 「SKY HIGH」 by The Gospellers - AVI version (31MB) The story of our favorite stalker and her subject of obsession continues in this sequel. I find it amusing that these two end up getting to know each other because Nodame basically follows Chiaki around. Now she ends up following him... | | |
