Nodame Cantabile owns my face. Here are 8 reasons why.

1. NODAME. CHIAKI. Crackiest, most wonderful(ly bizarre) OTP ever. They are such ultimate opposites it's incredible. He's so by-the-book, cool, neat and organized and so good at everything he does. She's unfortunate and all over the place and the messiest person ever, even when she plays;

I love Nodame Cantabile too! Everything about the show was perfect for me! Everyone did such a great job in making these really wacky characters believable and lovable. I definitely loved the secondary characters, maybe almost as much as nodame/chiaki. (Eita's character? Oh my god. So much love for him!) And number 2? After I finished the show I went and downloaded all of the songs used in it. I keeping hoping (against all logic) that they'll end up doing a second season, because the show was just so fantastic. And I'm totally in love with Tamaki Hiroshi. But that's beside the point.

Yeah, it's amazing how the wacky characters who I thought might be too much for me, even as a lover of goofy, comical characters, they totally turned out to be very lovable and likable. My initial reaction to Mine and Masumi was really weirded out, "Their hair styles are just ...WTF?!" but I love those two now! Especially Mine, yep, Eita does a good job.

Eee, I haven't seen the ending yet. I hope it doesn't *demand* a sequel because otherwise I'll be disappointed that one won't be made. Or that one might not be made.

Tamaki Hiroshi.. Yeah, I'll second the love. I haven't drooled over/been this in love with a drama lead since I watched the kdrama My Girl. I've seen attractive drama leads since then but this guy makes my eyes pop out.

Ahhh, the hairstyles. Just thinking about them makes me laugh. And Masumi's mustache thing? That thing was hysterical!
Speaking of Tamaki Hiroshi, have you watched his new movie, "Heavenly Forest?" It looks kind of interesting, and well, has Tamaki in it, : P

I've seen like, er, 5 Japanese movies. Though obviously if I watch anything, it should have Tamaki in it. ;) Has the movie been subbed? I can only find a Japanese DVD w/o subs.

Masumi's moustache is *so* manga, omg. Whacky whackness. I also hated Mine's hair in the first two eps but now I love it - it looked so FAKE at first.

I haven't seen very many japanese films either. I've seen the Death Notes, Nana, The Returner (with Takeshi Kaneshiro...yum!), and Summer Time Travel Blues (with Eita, whom I love!). But I'm definitely going to watch this because of Tamaki. I think that they have the subs and movie here http://community.livejournal.com/jdramas/1309433.html#cutid1.

Oooooh thanks for link.

My Jmovie watching consists of some Kurosawa film, Nana, Battle Royale, Lady Snowblood, Casshern.. Hmmm. And then some film about samurais who had gay sex together. Taboo I think it was called. I'll def try to check out that film. Because, damn, Tamaki. *oggles*
