Nodame Cantabile

It's behind the scenes video footage... :)

Just watched the 4th episode again.. what a fantastic episode. I don't know if it'll maintain the post, but I think it may be one of the top episodes in the series. It does so much and comes together so well. By far the best one up to that point, in my opinion.

And you get the little park-bench scene at the end where Nodame gets a little treat (and probably Chiaki too.. but he's too proud to admit it!)

From Episode 4 and after, the drama is in full stride... :victory:

Episodes 2 and 3 were the weakest, focusing on the Masumi, Mine, and Sakura stories for the most part...

well it'll be good to watch them through again - I can take a more critical eye this time around - watch only one per day or so

Just one per day?

Hmm... :beaten:

I watched the first episode of Nodame Cantabile again, and I found it more enjoyable this time around. While the intro still bugs me, the episode does pick up from there and becomes pretty enjoyable. I have to say, the shots of Prague in the beginning are very nice. Chiaki and Nodame's meeting with him waking up at her place was great. I like how the night before when Chiaki's on the ground and asks for help. You'd think someone lying down on the floor asking for help might be in some kind of trouble, but what does Nodame do? Offer a bag of candy. Either people lying right outside their places is normal or offering candy to people asking for help is the norm :headscratch:

You have to bear in mind that Nodame's mind is probably filled with nothing but food, especially other people's bento...

So if it was Reina-chan down on the ground asking for help, Nodame would whip out the bento box she stole earlier :mrgreen:

And.. just for fun, here's one from the main series that captures all the "make you cry" moments:

Nice. :victory:

But having classical music as the narration would've been more appropo, IMO. :)


EDIT: Same goes for the other video as well. :)

Oh, I agree.. I don't really care for those pop backgrounds.. but what can I do about it ;-) People are pretty unlikely to post such a video with classical accompaniment on YouTube.. it's just not the crowd <sheds a tear>

I muted it and played Grieg's Piano Concerto in A minor instead... not really, but not a bad idea :)

phlargo wrote:Oh, I agree.. I don't really care for those pop backgrounds..

I'd suppose it'd be more suitable for an American show or maybe any other J-drama, but not this one, which is totally immersed in classical music...

It's out of step.

Darn fool kids. :beaten:
