Sheesh Y’all, It’s More Than Just Anime
For those of you who have watched or read Nodame Cantabile, do you remember when Chiaki criticised Mine, that punky rocker violinist, regarding the way he plays? Chiaki used the words “Onani play”, which translates to masturbation play. In other words, self pleasure. I still remember how I laughed at that. The phrase was simply hilarious.
Nodame’s expression while she says - Priceless
Yet, I think that the phrase can now be applied towards me. Yes, I think I’m guilty of that.
After hearing the hilarious tale of how The Sojourner was forced into playing the piano after his parents watched the Nodame Cantabile drama, it sparked my interest and I soon found myself watching the anime. After all, K-ON! alone isn’t enough to satisfy my appetite for music-themed anime since it seems to be focusing more on snacks rather than the music.
I’m almost done with the first season of the anime, and I’ve come to realise how similar Nodame and Yui are. Yui’s just like a guitar playing version of Nodame with loads of Moe implants. It’s as though Yui’s character was based on Nodame.
