I simply loved this version of Nodame Cantabile. I only watched the anime, and struggled through the japanese version till I ended up dropping it. This one was simply perfect. The story itself isn't too complicated, but entertaining and easy to keep watching without major efforts. What I loved the most was the music, I love classical music and enjoyed every bit of it, some performances even had me in tears. Would I rewatch this? A thousand times, no doubt about it. Even though many didn't like the addition of the cellist, I have to say it was refreshing and enjoyable. Loved the guy too :P
