Nodame Cantabile

[MissInformed]

I am SO SO SO EXCITED! I have a theory how far they'll go with it, but who knows. I started reading the manga after I watched the first anime series, and I've been dying to see some of this animated. YAY.

Can't say I laughed at that bit specifically myself, but I still liked it a lot. It is a shame you didn't enjoy it more. I finally got around to watching the LA version over the weekend. Having not read the manga or watched the anime I came at the show with no preconceptions what-so-ever, and I loved every minute of it as a result. Slapstick and all. In fact, of the live action slapstick that I have seen, I thought they pulled it off quite well. I felt the show's presentation was a delight to behold, if you take each part as seriously it the director intended, with each part pitched at just the right level.

Indeed? I am sure a lot of what I liked about the LA show, it's power, comes from the great story being told, so I am eager to watch the anime and read the manga. I've been trying not to read this thread in too much depth, because I want to avoid absorbing too many expectation from other people's views about the anime, or the manga. It is hard though, just thinking about the show just draws me in...

Hi! I'm new here
Hope to here more news about Nodame Cantabile, may it be the luve action, anime or manga.
I'm very much pleased with the fact that Chiaki-kun is spacing out, hehehe!!!
but I'm not sure why he said that Nodame being unfair.
Sorry for the spoilers if I've given any,

Well, there is supposed to be a second season of the anime starting in January 2009. I have not heard anything about any more Live Action shows.

There is actually a separate thread for the Nodame Cantabile manga, so any discussion of manga events should probably take place there. At the least, anything from the manga that has not taken place yet in the anime should probably be spoiler tagged if posted here.

Thanks for all the tips
I'll keep all that in mind

I believe NC Pari-Hen will start in October. That's the date given at ANN, and the Noitamina listing at Wikipedia also gives a fall date. I think it's scheduled to run afther the completion of Antique Bakery.

[blewin]

yeah... I read somewhere that second season's coming out in Oct. Can't wait!

[DragoonKain3]

What sucks though is Kasai ain't directing the series anymore (or any other recent anime for the past year for that matter). Wonder if he got canned because of the lackluster sales of the kimikiss anime, something that's hardly his fault considering how fresh is his take on the love triangle angle there.

[blewin]

From the latest manga chapter, it looks like the anime 2nd season will be airing on the 9/10!

I watched the anime version of Nodame Cantabile first, then the live action, then I read the manga. I have to say its the only time I have enjoyed all three versions of any thing. Usually I don't even like going from anime to manga or manga to anime much less live action. Its just a great comedy/romance series.

I agree. Some mangas and animes have different art style, that's a big turn-off for me.

As for live-action, it's even harder to make a live-action series or movie that is satisfactory to any who has first watched the anime or read the manga. NC's live-action is pretty close to the original. I find it ironic that the girl who acted Nodame (extraordinary acting talent there, she portrayed Nodame's character so excellently!) is much prettier and attractive than her anime counterpart, whereas the anime Chiaki is more good looking than the live-action Chiaki.

The only thing I've to complain about the live-action is the portrayal of Stresemann. His personality is 360 degrees different. He comes across as a scheming, manipulative pervert, whereas in the anime, he's much more clueless with less flamboyance.

Anyone knows if the number of episodes reported on ANN is certain? Because they say season 2 will be only 11 episode long, that's too little.

Well since it seems to only be covering the Paris Arc that makes sense to me. It's much shorter then the previous arc in Japan that we saw.

It always seems that the anime does the exact same chapters as the live action. I wish the anime would go further then the live action because that would make me more excited for it.

whereas the anime Chiaki is more good looking than the live-action Chiaki

I definitely do not think this. I admit to being completely won over by Tamaki Hiroshi's charms.

[Matrim]

Er, how exactly is it much shorter when the action in the manga takes place mostly in Paris from volume 10 to at least volume 20 (when I stopped following it, waiting for the anime, so maybe there is more)? I guess not everything taking place in Paris is called the Paris Arc?

I was under the impression that the story moved around to other places in Europe too. I guess I was wrong.

But I meant they are probably only doing where the live action caught up again which is Nodame's first recital. I don't know maybe they will go further then that but with the manga still ongoing it seems like a good stopping point.

[blewin]

if it's only 11 episodes, I'm afraid they might not do the episodes on Kuroki and Kiyora, and there's the competition that goes on between the other tenants.
