La Corda D'Oro ~primo passo~

Both Corda and Nodame involve music and making music as well as competing with the "elite" style muscians.

Both series are full of music and fun. The main character in Nodame is very much like Hino because she doesn't think that she can play very well; but in reality everyone loves to hear her play. No magic violin is in Nodame, though... just a normal piano. 

If you love classical music and anime about people who love classical music you really should watch both Nodame and la Corda d'Oro. Additionally both anime are beautifully animated, and has well thought out plots.

Both Nodame Cantabile and La Corda D'Oro contain most of the same plot and both are about music. Nodame Contabile was really funny to watch and La Cord'a D'oro was really fascinating, but the thing they have in common that makes these two anime really great is the romance.

Both Nodame Cantabile and La Corda D'Oro follows a group of students going to school for music, and involves the competitions that they participate in. If you enjoy classical music I think you would like these series.

Both animes are very similar. Nodame in Nodame Cantabile plays differently based on her feelings at the time. This is also how Hino from La Corda played her violin. Both are very emotional and leave an emotional impact.

Both series focus on the «discovery» of the true concept of music by music students. While the theme might be the same, these two shows have completely different moods. In Nodame you'll spend half the time laughing, while in Corda d'Oro it's mostly a serious mood sometimes bordering on depressive. Not to say that Corda is a bad anime... I liked it very much. It's just that it has a completely different take on music. Other major difference: in Nodame there are many interesting and different characters and many plot twists... while in Corda there are less characters, who aren't very different, and the story isn't that unpredictable.

Both are about music students, and both have strong female lead characters that are just a bit strange. Both animes have a strong appreciation of classical music and just by watching you can't help but learn something new about music.

Both series features competitions involving classical instruments and follow characters in their evolving relationships with other participants and with music itself.

Both Nodame Cantabile and La Corda D'Oro are anime series about classical music! The have lots of romance and quite a few funny situations! La Corda D'Oro is indeed a reverse harem type of anime, although Nodame Cantabile focuses on the feelings of a girl towards one boy, if you enjoy romance with lots of beautiul classical music and you liked one of them, I am sure you will like the other as well!

Both animes are about music! Music lovers are sure to enjoy them. The realtionships in between the characters are sweet too, just that for La Corda, the ending was a bit wrong because the main character didn't end up with anyone. At least the animators didn't make it apparent.. But overall, both La Corda and Nodame Cantabile are really good!

Both series let you enjoy the master pieces of classical music. You can learn about hard work that people studying music must face and the sacrifices they have to make. If you liked one, you would surely liked the other.

A strong musical theme is present in both animes. Both heroines exhibit an inate love and joy in playing their respective instruments. Both heroines are also happily surrounded by handsome males that add romantic interests and comedy to their lives at school. It is inspiring to see the growth each character makes along the way throughout each story!

Both are sugoi to watch, listen, feel, learn, enjoy and appreciate classical music through the eyes, ears and heart of a female student protaganist.  Even hard rockers will convert into classical buffs.  Must watch for all music lovers!

Well, as someone said before me, yes, both are romance stories with the theme of classical music heavily poured upon both.La Corda D'Oro is paced a lot faster than Nodame Cantabile, and has more characters.In short, if you love classical music and a good hunk of drama to get your teeth into, Nodame Cantabile and La Corda D'Oro are the animes to look out for. ^_^

both of these anime center around a girl who with the use of magic discover a world neither knew about. It follows the road they both take as they discover about themselves and those around them as they strive to reach their goals. It also follows the relationships and bond they forge with the people around them and the support they gain from those people to keep going even when things get bad.

These are both series that revolve around music. Full Moon is more pop music where as La Corda D'Oro is classical. They both use magic given to them by others to make music. The main characters are both girls who make friends with those around them.

Hitohira and La Corda have a similar story, because the main characters accomplish something they would call impossible. Enjoy! :)

Both series revolve around high school students with special abilities. Mugi Asai (Hitohira) has an amazing voice but a fear of speaking in public, while Hino Kahoko (La Corda D'Oro ~primo passo~) has not yet realized her hidden talent for playing the violin. Both series are serious in nature but have a sense of lightness about them too.
