Synopsis:

Following a planned trip to Vienna to meet renowned conductor Franz von Stresemann, violinist Kiyora Miki finds her journey unexpectedly altered. A detour to Japan emerges when the maestro has relocated there, offering Kiyora and her companions – Shinichi Chiaki and Megumi "Nodame" Noda – an opportunity to explore historical sites within the city. The trip becomes a backdrop for personal reflections as Kiyora grapples with a year-long separation from her boyfriend while preparing for a significant musical competition in Paris.

The narrative explores themes of distance, dedication, and the unexpected connections forged through shared passions. As the Parisian competition nears, an unforeseen visitor arrives, prompting a re-evaluation of relationships and ambitions. The anime offers a contemplative atmosphere, focusing on character interactions and subtle emotional developments within a setting steeped in classical music history.

Reviews:

  • User SakuraSan628 (Score: 10/10):
    ince there is no accurate description for this episode I'll explain it quickly here. It focuses on Nodame and Chiaki going to Vienna to visit the concert-mistress from Rising Star - Kiyora Miki- who is also getting ready for a competition in Paris. In the second half of the episode they are back in Paris and Mine [her BF from season 1] comes to see her perform without telling her. She performs and makes it to the final round -- I won't say what happens after that. But it's a really funny episode and it definitely adds to the story. I'd recommend watching it beforestarting the Fianle [season 3].
