AnimeSugoi

Sorry for the lack of posts, I actually took a full day to recover from Kawaii Kon, the whole weekend just exhausted me…it comes with working and running all around when you are a volunteer. I will post what I bought tomorrow, for now enjoy another anime review. Nodame Cantabile, try saying that three times fast, I can’t even say it once….it comes out like “nodame cometible” when I try to say it from memory. I really like this anime, its full of comedy, story, and most important of all……drum roll please…dum dum dum…..classical music. I know what you’re thinking….”Classical music…thats for nerds and geeks and its in an anime, my life is ruined” or something to that effect. Honestly thats what I thought too but I got hooked onto this anime from the first episode. Chiaki is a piano/violin playing genius who goes to a music university in Japan but his true goal in life is to be a conductor. Unfortunately there are no “true” conductors in Japan that he can be taught by and must go to a place like Europe to learn, but it turns out he is afraid of flying after a crash landing he was in and afraid of drowning by boat. So he stays in Japan trying to figure out life when a girl named Nodame enters his life. She is one of the better pianist he has ever heard if she didn’t make so many mistakes, whats interesting about her is that she can memorize mostly all the notes in a song, even after hearing it just once. If her piano playing doesn’t make her unique then her quirks will as she can’t cook, clean, and makes weird yet funny noises that makes you love her character. She falls in love with Chiaki and tries to become his “wife” which she fails miserably at. Throughout the anime Chiaki tries to figure out how to live life in Japan and goes with interesting characters from all over during that time.

I personally like this anime as it is an anime that attempts to distinguish itself from others and succeeds at it. The music in this anime is definitely worth listening too, even if you are not a classical music fan. I definitely recommend this to watch and even some episodes watch again and again.

Chiaki being supposedly his handsome self (honestly I don’t get why all the girls like him, except for maybe his talent)
Nodame being her “talented” self, when she’s not playing on the piano she can be quite flaky
Nodame’s room before Chiaki cleaned it, she tends to neglect things…..
Take a guess at what this is………….c’mon…….I’ll give you 3 seconds………………………………………………………………………………………….
it’s a mongoose lol….I thought it was a weird squirrel/beaver thing when I first saw it

This song really annoys me though as one small part of it is like the United Airlines theme song which I hate after hearing it quite a few times, but didn’t know what it was called

I love Nodame, she says such random things like below, my favorite being “GYAPON,” I laugh every time I hear it
