A third season!?!
YES!! I love this anime, and the manga, and the live action.
Makes me wish I could play the piano (T_T)

I have heard something about the third when the second got finish. Anyway, I enjoyed this serie so much, even if I didn't read the manga or watched the drama xD.

Is a really nice mix between comedy and romance, don't forget about the music!! :D

I love this anime the story is good and music is awesome though I think this anime is underrated even though it's really good.

I found the OSTs. Some good stuff on there. I think the music has more meaning for me after watching the drama though. How does the anime rate compared to the drama?

I've been kinda.. worried about trying the anime out since the drama has given me some pretty high expectations :x

Iv never heard of the anime but it sounds like its worth looking into since everyone is saying the music in it is amazing

I can't wait for the third season. This series got me to realize how difficult it might be to participate in an orchestra, and a role as a conductor (referencing from Chiaki). And Nodame's personality sure is unique heh - "Gyabu!."

First season was just plain masterpiece while second... Argh, because of it I look on third season with scepticism >_>'

O_o hmm.. I think that this story has rather.. logical happy-end.
So now I don`t want to watch it. Maybe if someone advises it...

Yeah... august 10 its the release date of the 3rd season mukyaa!!

i love it!... the manga, the anime and the dorama...

the music is beatifull... chiaky is so hansome (gyabo!)... and well nodame is ... god XDD...

I love this anime. The music are great, sometime it make me want to learn how to play the piano, haha. Nodame is a great female character and the storyline are good. I can't wait to watch the new season.

Season 3 has been postponed!
According to the official website http://www.nodame-anime.com/, the third season of Nodame Cantabile titled "Nodame Cantabile Finale" has been pushed back to January 2010.

I realy love this.But it is going to the end!I hope there will be a happy ending of Nodame and Chiyaki

I'll have to say, it is a bad thing to read the manga and watch the drama before watching the anime.You'll keep comparing three of them and the storyline/scenes will mix together if you are not careful. I had a hard time separating them. I've watched the Chinese subs and I think for the 2009 year, it's the best for now. Since I've watched the live-action drama plus read the manga, excluding the OP and ED(they are good), if I were to give A for the OST and music in the drama then I'll give A- for the anime. This is because the music from the drama give a stronger impression(or maybe because the shooting scenes just synchronize better than the anime). However, there is one important thing which is the voice actors for Chiaki and Nodame are perfect, better than the drama. Furthermore, I like the way how the characters interact. They are not as exaggerating in the drama, particularly Chiaki's personality. About the storyline, I've no complains at all. I'll just see how much minor stuff they will cut from the manga because they always do that.
