Nodame Cantabile


At a top music academy in Japan, Shinichi Chiaki's arrogance is matched only by his top-notch piano playing. But when Chiaki and the teacher get into a fight, he's demoted to the reject class. Chiaki is left to pursue his dream of being a composer while surrounded by a bunch of loser musicians and one annoying girl, Noda, who has proclaimed herself Chiaki's girlfriend. It doesn't help that Noda, who insists on being called Nodame, lives right next door to him.....

Which Animenewsnetwork is commenting for the plot.

Plus
I've only seen up til episode 12, but the series go til episode 24 (half way done), but name itself is pretty funny. Even if you're not into classical music due to comedy mix in this anime that make this series a lot more interesting. Voice casts were chosen well too. I didn't expect to hear Sgt. Sagara from Full Metal Panic voice actor: Seki, Tomokazu as main hero Chiaki, Shinichi. At the same time, I think it was good choice. Because how Shinichi get upset and yell at Nodame or other friends was "Just fit" in my opinion.

Minus
Maybe only things that I don't like about it might be the speed of storyline. It's okay to pace up the anime series, but over using is bit of annoying. Some of the part you don't know what happened because they didn't show it in the anime, but only in manga. So fans that know about this serie before it came out on anime know, a lot more than fans that start watching from anime is bit off-guard of what is going on.

Rating
So far rating I'll give is 7/10
