A very strange project based on one of the most recognized mangas in Japan.
The first season is interesting, the birth of an amateur orchestra best shows the motivation of students who are eager to use their craft as an adult.
Chiaki's relationship with Nodame already seems rather strange, but the abundance of cute and beautiful elements, such as hypnosis, allows you to turn a blind eye to such trifles.
The second season, the Paris chapter, is terrible. He's dreary and gray. The plot does not move, and offensively stereotypical Russians, Chinese and French are ridiculed.
In the third case is gradually improving, the last three series generally fraught with the long-awaited development of the plot. The ending of the series puts everything in its place and allows you to see in Nodam Kantabil a holistic work.
As a result, it is cute, naive, sometimes stupidly naive. The middle is terribly stretched and sagging, but for many it will make sense to endure for the sake of the ending.
