I can wait. I am a very patient robot.

The Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
-I, Robot (Asimov)

Thank you! :D But as a work of Leiji Matsumoto, it’s not likely to ever slide into complete obscurity…. :wink:

And now:

He suffers from Aerophobia and she with Asperger’s Syndrome. Young and talented, what kind of a duo will they make?

Now this is exactly the kind of show I would usually pick, with its fast paced Shonen style and quasi-historical references….

But…

Kata has figured me out! :D I have turned Shojo once again, picking this not terrible impressive to look at, not exactly action oriented, romantic comedy.

The key was in the use of the musically connoted term “duo” rather than couple. The romance may be a bit predictable at times (although with some very funny moments :D ), but unlike other anime capriciously set in this milieu :? , Nodame Cantabile really tries to capture the strange hothouse environment of the Conservatory. A high-pressure, insulated world of workshops, lessons, mentors, camps, festivals, juries, concerts, and competitions; where huge egos, fragile as glass, are alternately stroked and shattered as they interact with each other in the curious crucible that shapes the artists of the future.


Your turn, Kata!
