Noda Megumi.

Finally we reached the end of the third season of Nodame, and most probably the end of this wonderful series. Although they really rushed through the end, but I got to say that this season is the best out of all three to me. Enjoyed every single bit of ~finale~ to say the least.

Love this shot of Chiaki from the OP. Very “awws”.

Nothing much I want to comment about really, everything seemed to make big improvements since the first season: animation, flow of stories, etc. Of course, we all love Nodame x Chiaki pairing. Nothing is more fun to see than the interactions between the two. Not even Kuroki x Tanya. Lols.

Lucas is a good kid. :D

Also nice to see Nodame plays Schumann’s Kinderszenen in the final ep as it was one of the very, very few, extra songs that I was able to play besides the exam pieces during the piano learning days. Not playing much anymore (only when back at home) but still remains as one of my interests. It has been almost 20 years. : )

Nodame’s best costume. Love it.

Lastly, the ED song. Not as wow as first season’s Cristal Kay’s Konna ni Chikaku de.. but still a good listen: Kaze to Oka no Ballad (風と丘のバラード) by Real Paradis. The PV is kinda mehs (especially when comparing to Cristal Kay’s), but surprisingly the song matched very well with Nodame’s ED sequence, though. ^^

So here comes the end of yet another good series. Should I catch up with the live action? ^^”
