Mukyaa~! Gyabo~! The show that I’ve been waiting all year has finally aired! The Paris Chapter of Nodame Cantabile was every bit as awesome as I’ve expected, and while I’ve not read the manga, it stays true to the equally amazing live action specials that I watched earlier in the year. As you’d imagine, the [...]

  Mais je te jure que c’est vrai! Impressions: Yeah… there’s really no way I’m going to follow this one, it’s not even a matter of liking or disliking, between the broken Japanese, the broken French, and the broken French/Japanese hybridization nonsense, my brain just can’t keep up with this one. It’s bad enough trying to [...]

Very short PV of Nodame Cantabile: Paris chapter has been uploaded on the official website. I was actually quite excited when I first heard the news, but not anymore. Why? 1) I know 13 episodes won't be able to cover all of Paris stuff. 2) Manga is far..글 전체보기

Behind its innocuous title, Nodame Cantabile reveals a sophisticated story of music, relationships and life. I almost let it slide right past me. Once in a while, we are lead to consume titles that compare to a bite off of the freshest apples. Even as our lips kiss the skin, we are only greeted with a [...]

Ah, I managed to finish this one just in time for the second season that starts in October. Nodame Cantabile is a series about classical music: it follows the rise of a brilliant conductor named Chiaki, and how he spends his college years. If for some reason, you needed any more reasons as to why [...]

I am back from my trip, and it's been no less than fun fun fun :D I had such a great time staying at the hamster's den, not simply because she and her entire family were such kind hosts (smothered us--me and my officemate/ travel buddy, the hamster's buddy as well--with love, foodies especially <3), but because we got to spend time together with the hamster chef, her sister, and the rest of the hamster's buddies (including our duck chef BeLe :P)--quality bonding time playing Wii until the wee hours of the morning~ Hanging out someplace in Davao City in the morning, playing Wii at home at night. That's basically our "leisure lifestyle" throughout the trip, with the scrumptious snacks and meals in between *yum yum*

Let us cry. I finished the Live-Action Drama version of Nodame Cantabile a while ago (a few hours, actually), and I didn’t realize that this series also fell under the “shoujo” catergory after stumbling across Wikipedia (midnightrose’s favourite site). So I might have said that I despised all shoujo series because of its typical storyline [...]

I remember when I first started watching the anime version of Nodame Cantabile and had these skyhigh expectations on the show for some reason. I hadn’t heard of the manga at the time and didn’t know anything about the characters but I had visions of a story filled with sweet romance and college life. After [...]

Nodame Cantabile will be getting a 2nd season. It will start airing in October. Nodame Cantabile is a great show. What attracted me to watch the series was the music theme that the anime has. Being a piano player myself, this was a definite watch for me. The series inspired me to practice more. But music [...]

Nodame Cantabile Paris Hen Air Date: October 2008 As everyone probably already know, there'd be a continuation to Nodame Cantabile anime coming up this October on Fuji TV's Noitamina block. Ttitled「のだめカンタービレ　巴里編」(Nodame Cantabile Paris Hen), the series will hopefully be similar to the drama version in that, it doesn't go beyond the manga storyline since the last time I checked, the manga is not completed yet. I am actually a bit apprehensive about this since it seems like the producers just want to capitalize on the series even though the series is nowhere in completion yet. Moreover, they ended the first season in such a rush that they just showed parts of the stories as static stills that shares space with the ending credit. At any rate, sequels seem to be popular in the anime industries these days, which understandable since the fans (including myself) lapped it up but at the same time, it does make one wonders about originality. At times like this, I'm glad that Honey and Clover manga is finished. This means there's nothing that greedy producers can do to milk its popularity apart from doing various drama adaptations. Speaking of which, I'm still waiting for the US adaptation of Honey and Clover drama. Just kidding, Japan. Don't even think about it. I think three live-action adaptations are more than enough. Anyway, there are other sequels that we'll see this year or next year, click after the cut for some preview.
