Nodame Cantabile 1-2

Posted on 2009/06/14 by Zyl

Caught the first two eps, by chance, via Animax; my curiosity had been piqued by Hirasawa Yui versus Nodame discussion as well as comparisons with ToraDora’s Takasu Ryuuji. Quite surprised that I enjoyed it very much despite how Chiaki Shinichi … Continue reading →
