It's been a week since I watched this 2 parts special, but don't worry people, since this is Nodame Cantabile we're talking about, I'm confident that I can still remember it crystal clear. The first installment of the special is fantastic but the second part is my favorite (if you have watched this, they you know what I'm talking about)! This special picks up from where it left off on the drama series. It's still hilarious as ever. On this special, we got to meet new amazing people. If you love the drama series, you'll definitely like this as well. STORY: 10 Really love it. Though compared to the series, you'll find the musical things more longer on the special, but I wouldn't call them boring because... ACTING/CAST: 10 The cast did an amazing job on portraying their roles. Ueno Juri and Tamaki Hiroshi were amazing as usual. And so are the supporting casts, I don't really have anything bad to say on this department. MUSIC: 8 Umm, it's classic music, right? REWATCH VALUE: 9 I wouldn't mind rewatching when I have time. OVERALL: 10 I've got so much to say but I'm afraid it would be full of spoilers. Fasten your seat belt, and let's fly to Europe! Mukyaa!!! (I know this is not related ... FYI on this upcoming movie, starring Ueno Juri with Matsumoto Jun: http://mydramalist.com/japanese-movie/5785/hidamari-no-kanojo)
