Nodame Cantabile The Final Score II is really a continuation of the first movie. I wrote a review for The Final Score I and my thoughts there are very much the same here. The continuation and deepening of both Chiaki's and Nodame's talents and relationship are the focus. And they both have to decide what they want and what is important. The story is told in the same funny, silly and charming way the whole series has been told. This movie is the best of them and usually with sequels, you can't say that. More of my thoughts are expressed in the other review and I'd only be repeating myself too much. The music is a 10. I can't give it any lower. I think I am more of a classical fan now. I give the re-watch a 10 because I just got done watching a 2nd time. I recommend the whole series highly.
