Really? I have only read the first story arc in the manga (where Chiaki and Nodame play the piano duet together for their teacher). I thought the anime covered the manga matierial perfectly, with the added bonus of the actual music in the anime. For that reason alone I would consider the anime actually supperior.

I'm planning on reading more of the manga mainly just to continue the story beyond the end of the anime (although given the popularity of the show in Japan, another season isn't out of the question). I'm going to be picking up the next few volumes of the manga at the local book store this week. I guess I'll just have to put on some classical CDs while I am reading...

I've tried "reading" RAW scans before, but even series where there is more action than dialog, I always found it just too hard to follow what was going on. I would think you would lose almost everything that makes Nodame great, if you could not read the dialog...

The Nodame Cantabile thread in the Fansubs section was very active while the show was being aired and activly subbed. Now that the season over and the fansubs are done, the discussion has dropped off and the thread may have scrolled off of the first couple pages.

I'm relatively new to the anime (just finished it last week) and I found it to be really good, if a little slow at some points (when a lot of air time is taken up by the concert / competition sequences and there isn't much plot on-screen).
Personally, I consider the performace scenes just as enjoyable as the comedy or plot scenes, but then I'm a big fan of classical music.
