I could be a little unbiased, as Nodame Cantabile is an anime i have yet to see. This is easily in my top 10 most lazy ova i have seen along with One Piece OVAs and the one with the hamster. Simple plot, and relevant characters show both depth and understanding of what was a hard world at that beach. Film score and closing song is both haunting and provoking. I’ve watched this ova once, but I can recite 80% of the script, but still enjoy from start to finish. I did laugh once which most anime don't make me laugh. ok OVA 5/10
