Nodame Cantabile

Ok, I know I should be getting some rest now, but I just wanted to say that I FINALLY finished this dorama. Whew. :thumbsup:

And it will be one of the most memorable doramas ever for me, not only because of its story and amusing characters, but also because it is the first (and probably the only) dorama I finished in the plane and at the airport. :mrgreen:

The second half of episode 8 I watched in a connecting flight to LA, then the laptop's battery ran out so I had to wait till we got to LAX. After checking in and getting everything done, I watched 9-11 in the airport while waiting for the plane. It sure helped, coz waiting time was more than five hours. :sweat: Though I had to admit I looked kinda silly in there, staring at the laptop screen while looking like I'm trying not to cry. :ashamed:

Hey, you were at LAX and you didn't say hi?? :beaten:

Chiaki fangirls... And Chiaki's mom.

Believe me, I wanted to hang out here more at Jdo while waiting but stupid LAX only had TMobile wireless connection. You have to pay to connect. Che. :rant: Hee hee kidding. :victory: They had free public WiFi, but for some reason I couldn't access the Internet. :sweat:

I still have Nodame fever.. it's so severe that I named my laptop's hard drive "Gyabooo~" and my new flash drive "Mukyaa~". Sigh, I know there won'tbe a second season, but aren't there any specials?

Actually, I meant waving "hi" from the plane. :beaten:

Nothing that I've heard.

If they can't recreate the magic that is Nodame, they shouldn't try... Don't ruin Nodame's legacy. :victory:

LOL :rofl:

Hmm.. well I guess you have a point. Nodame's pointless without the magic.

I guess the ChiakiXNodame fan in me took over again and wanted to see a continuation in their love (love?? :hehe: ) story. :sweat:

Don't get me wrong: I'd LOVE to see a continuation, but if they can't do it right and come up with a fiasco like Gokusen 2, then don't do it.

It'd be an insult to fans. :sweat:

The extra goodies (besides the bonus disc) can be seen at the lower left of the image.

I saw this boxset advertised for pre-order at Amazon.co.jp several weeks ago, but now it's sold out. :shakehead:

Finally received my box set today... And the contents match the above pic... :woot: :dancing: :victory:

Whew.

If I leave that and the piano keyboard towel in their original packaging they're more valuable...

Not like I'm gonna sell it or something... :sweat:

So when do you get yours?

Ah... you're saving it for your Juri shrine? :twisted:

Not sure when I'll get mine... probably in another week or so. But I'll be in NY for vacation anyway... :metaldevil:
HOpefully by the time I get back, I'll be welcomed by a package. :beaten:

You may be wondering why I'm buying the DVD set... we've been working on it secretly for a while now... SHhhhhh...

So desu.

Like me, not satisfied with the existing ones?

That's why I'm currently overhauling the existing S-Projects subs... I don't know the language, but my English grammar is a whole lot better.
