Last night, ANN and Giapet were both quick to report the announcement of a second season for Nodame Cantabile, last year's highly regarded melomanic anime. The sequel will be known as Nodame Cantabile: Pari-Hen (or Nodame Cantabile: Paris Chapter), leaving little doubt as to the story's main location.

Other than the fact that it will be broadcast in a late-night timeslot in Japan, the only other known thing about the Paris Chapter is that it will start airing this October. Conveniently leaving us plenty of time to catch up with the first season. Yeah, shame on us...
