We find Nodame and
Chiaki still living in Paris, trying to accomplish their goals of success in
the classical music world. They also
have to figure out what will happen with their relationship as they both focus
on the tasks ahead of them and move ahead in life.
I have always
enjoyed this series and was happy to be able to conclude it. This season seemed to pick up from some of
the things that were lacking in the second series, most notably the emphasis on
the music. The humor remained strong as
well through the majority of the story.
Even during the serious moments in the second half of the season I found
myself smiling through almost all of the show.
It truly was a return to form from the original series. We get to see some old faces in tiny cameos
and the resolution of side characters from the Paris series. Ultimately there are 2 main story lines that
blend into one overall story; Nodame finally figuring out what she wants to do
for herself. The important themes of the
entire series are not tidied up in the end, but enough is suggested that you
can be confident everything will work out as it should. Happy endings!!!
If you still want
to get your Nodame fix there are more live action renditions available and the manga,
which ended its Japanese run in 2010 officially! Gyabo!!!!!!!
While the original
series was licensed and released in North America, the Paris and Finale series’
have not been so fortunate. The manga
has also been licensed and is being released by Del Ray.
