This has been the best episode so far. I really like how this series can blend character drama with comedy so well. It reminds me of Gintama and Hinamatsuri. Both great anime who can also blend those genres very well.

So Nodame successfully cured Chiaki’s phobia. I guess because he is not guarded by Nodame so it was possible to do the hypnosis with him. It’s awesome how Nodame became this important for Chiaki without he realizing it

Heck after watching this I wanna study classical music bruh ngl

Me too, I want to learn the violin/piano now.

Shit got me lowkey depressed, idk why tho.....

Same. Too many possible reasons. 1) Having something (like playing music/conducting) to be so passionate about. 2) Being able to meet a lot of people and making wonderful friends through it. 3) Being good at it and still improving. 4) Finding love through it (biggest reason).

It would be a dream to have all of those, seeing it makes me feel a little down. But it's never too late to try and find that hobby/thing you're passionate about. I need to start looking more.

Ahem... Chiaki gave Nodame crabs... 👀
