I always loved the astonishment on her face... like she though something supernatural was occuring.

I liked how they paired her with Toyohara Kosuke as a couple after seeing the two in Densha Otoko. It's like he finally won her over :sweat:

Oh.. from Orange Days, right? I knew I recognized her :)

Awful young for Harisen-sensei, ne?

She's like 29/30.

They've done that lotsa times in the comics... Rather frustrating at times: I'm buying these Iron Man comics, then the story continues in The Avengers or The Fantastic Four... :sweat:

Dude, that's their marketing scheme! But from what I've seen, the industry in Japan is so small, if you try to play the whole six degrees thing, you'll finish very quickly. I have yet to see a drama that doesn't have an actor from another drama I've seen. Hell, half the major cast of Nodame are in Taiga Dorama's.

Back to the show, I finished episodes 9 and 10. Major props go to Juri-chan for her acting at the end of ep10. Trying to pull off that type of dialogue while staying in Nodame character, is difficult but she hit it perfectly. :applaud: I can't wait to for the final episode!

After that, you've got another four hours of SP goodness. :victory:

:woot: More Nodame! I haven't been so hooked on a series since Fuurin Kazan, and these series are nothing alike. To think that all this started because of your previous avatar...by the way, new one is great. Everything starts off so simple, then you find out that every character is more complex and they're not just caricatures. It's amazing how they do this in eleven episodes without making anything feel forced.

If you watch Last Friends, it'll be a shock to the system. :beaten:

That's the great thing about the SP - it's the little bonus we can propose to people who are just finishing Nodame.. 'cause many don't even seem to know about it. Then they get to enjoy that "ooh.. I've got a little something more to look forward to"

As you may remember, I found the SP after having finished the Anime and doing a search online for things about Nodame. So I watched the SP even before I saw the rest of the drama. It was a very welcome little bonus to discover the SP as a newly vetted Nodame fan.

Wonder if there'll be another go-'round...

Nodame IS a continuing story, not like that train wreck series Gokusen (which is pulling in huge ratings, BTW... Damn fanigrls. :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead: )

There's two different flowers: one in that scene (a daisy?) and another that's a tulip.... :)

Wow! That's my expression when I finished the series. I loved that final episode. :woot:
