Nodame Cantabile

Nodame Cantabile
Manga + Anime + Ddrama (live-action) - 2 Movies

Main Leads: Chiaki and Nodame

A romantic story of two very opposite people. They met by accident: Nodame falls in love instantaneously, but it takes much longer for Chiaki to even begin to appreciate Nodame's unusual qualities.




Megumi Noda, or Nodame: an extremely talented piano student who wants to be a kindergarten teacher; She is messy and disorganized.
Because of Chiaki, Nodame faces her fears and enters a piano competition.


Shinichi Chiaki: is very talented in piano and violin and has secret ambitions to become a conductor. An arrogant multi-lingual perfectionist who once lived abroad in the music capitals of the world as a young boy, he feels mired in Japan because of a childhood phobia. Their relationship causes them both to develop and grow.
Because of Nodame, Chiaki got the opportunity to lead a student orchestra and begins to have a broader appreciation of people's musical abilities.


Would I recommend?
YES, totally! Watch and re-watch! One of my favorites! Such as the movies!

What I liked the most:
The fact that this drama is really original, mixtures a cute love story with the classical music world. So many funny moments with the orchestra and with the main leads. It made me appreciate classical music even more! 
Favorite quote:
GYABOOO! =^.^=

My favorite episode:
So many good episodes that is difficult to choose one that really stands out: but, if I had to choose, it would be the last one. I don't want to spoil but...basically it's when they get together for real ^^
