'The Finicky Maestro Can't Help But Fall for the Feral Pianist, Paris Film no 2
'Nodame Cantabile: The Movie II' concludes the live-action version of Nodame Cantabile. I wanted to really love it, but it fell short of what I had expected.
Remember how film 1 sets up this movie? She feels Chiaki is so far away and she needs to rise up.
In film 2, she is going in that direction, but she sabotages herself and thus does not reach her potential.
To be fair, since this centres on Nodame, the comedy and some of the slapstick comedy are back. If that is what you're here for, something that somewhat resembles the TV series, this is for you.
Overall, it's still a good watch, but don't expect this to have the same impact as the ending of the TV series and film 1. Nodame Cantabile presents Chiaki as someone rising, but Nodame has potential, but she may or may not choose to actualise.
