I thought at the start of the first episode, that it was just a normal school anime like mha, well without spoilers, just watch it! It will not dissapoint.
I really hope they make a season 2.

'Talentless Nana' tells the story of superpowered children on an isolated island, amongst whom a serial killer is hiding. Large parts of the story are told from the killer's perspective, others from the self-declared teenage detective trying to solve the murders.
This cat-and-mouse game reminded me of a child-friendly version of Death Note, though it certainly requires more suspension of disbelief. Both the killer and the detective regularly make Sherlock-Holmes-like deductions, only that the writers certainly aren't as talented at coming up with reasonable schemes as Doyle. This is further hampered by the young target audience: all the clever schemes must remain understandable to kids, so the script heavily relies on everyone being oblivious and multi-step plans going perfectly right.
This isn't a huge issue, as long as you keep in mind that this is not Breaking Bad but a show aimed at young teens. Just like we shouldn't complain about violations of physics when watching Star Wars, we should forgive 'Talentless Nana' its own take on logical thinking.
What bothered me far more is that the series declined as it went along, ending with a finale that was neither fish nor fowl. In the first few episodes the killer is a deeply morally ambigious character, killing fellow teenagers without remorse. Yet as the show progresses, those victims suddenly become monsters themselves, the killer suddenly is quite heroic, and the overall theme of the show turns from something unique into something widely generic. I found the ending particularly disappointing: it leaves all the loose ends untied, dissatisfying the viewers that liked the first half of the season, while also compromising the more wholesome themes of the second half. Basically, the writers tried to go for the best of both worlds yet ended up with the worst.
Nevertheless, 'Talentless Nana' was enjoyable and certainly had its moments. Ultimately, though, it's just not all that memorable, its uniqueness sacrificed for no good reason.
From a technical standpoint the show is good, with lovely animations and a good art style. The English dub is also pretty great.
I hope the writers will continue with similar concepts in the future. Perhaps then they'll actually stick to their themes. I certainly would enjoy watching something like that!

If you are just watching anime to chill out, it could be good as the positive reviews show. BUT if you tend to put some effort into following what's happening this will be gruelling to watch as the plot armor is so thick no human reasoning could dent it.

I have watched many anime this year, but this anime was very special. I was feeling goose bumps every moment when I followed the 8th, 9th and 12th episode, who evaluate the anime 1 out of 10 children who only watched Jujutsu kaisen
And Sorry for the bad english

I created a account to specifically write this review.
The Plot is straight forward People gain supernatural powers and the government wants them dead out of fear.
The main character plays Among US with the classmates killing them one by one and the fun part is despite the students missing and having solid evidence against the killer no one notices Like they have Super powers like time travelling, predicting future , immortality and yet they are Super-Dumb.
I recommend watching it for yourself to understand how bad it is.

I am really surprised to say that this series was actually quite decent and this is despite what people think of it saying it's boring, etc which I totally disagree from my personal point of view. Yes it's not a masterpiece or original but it was far from boring for me, it was in fact, interesting enough! Anyways, the story goes that a secret serial killer/spy called Nana basically kills anyone who is the enemy of "humanity". Of course she meets unique students who have different personalities such as Michiru and Kyouya. Michiru is a little darling like she cares about Nana so much and yet Nana is a bad egg who's suppose to kill her lol. Kyouya on the other hand, is a smart lad who's pretty wary of Nana and he always is attracted to detail in order to track the killer.
While you're watching this, you do get the atmosphere of "who done it?" or " Is Nana gonna get caught???? " like the show is good that way to have your nails biting through the end lol. By the way Rumi Ookubo absolutely nailed her performance as Nana because she was able to put a performance on a "serial killer voice" to a " sweet cutesy girl voice ". Both these types of voices were totally on point.
By the way without trying to spoil it, the ending made me cry man! You should definitely check out this mystery horror series, as I said before, it's really a decent show of 2020 that I've ever watched!

I liked the anime so much that i went and read the manga!! It was actually my first time reading manga cause i'm not use to it, but i really liked the story!! It's so good, but it's ongoing so i'll have to wait about a month for the chapter 69 :(( but i really recommend this anime and the manga!! I just wish they would complete the anime with the remaining chapters :(

I found this show looking for something good and leaves me on the edge of my seat. After episode two I was hooked I loved the characters and they gave you hints on what would happen next and explained it after.
The necromancer part was my favorite it was the first time nana actually had to think hard and could not make an excuse then she had to risk the chance of her getting caught.
It should have gotten a season two im looking to buy the manga because its spoused to get really good and someone really important comes back if it got added to the series the show would probably blow up.
And I think studio bridge made it ad they cooked.

My judgment is wrong, bad anime in my opinion
At first I hoped there would be action and super power but it turned out to be empty
the film is just about a sly murder by a clever girl.

Talentless Nana is an anime that starts with an intriguing premise-an island full of students with special abilities training to fight mysterious enemies of humanity. However, what could have been an engaging psychological thriller quickly spirals into a frustrating experience that tests the viewer's patience and logic.
The characters in this show seem to collectively share one brain cell-or perhaps none at all. Their decision-making is baffling, and the sheer lack of common sense among them makes it hard to take the plot seriously. From predictable plot twists to forced suspense that falls flat, Talentless Nana struggles to maintain any sense of credibility.
Nana, the protagonist, initially appears to have some strategic depth, but the repetitive nature of her actions and the incompetence of those around her make it difficult to stay invested. The supporting cast doesn't help either, as they exist primarily to make irrational choices that conveniently push the story forward. It's frustrating to watch characters overlook obvious clues and act in ways that defy basic logic.
Visually, the animation is passable, but nothing stands out enough to compensate for the narrative shortcomings. The soundtrack does little to elevate the tension, leaving much of the emotional weight feeling hollow and unearned.
Overall, Talentless Nana had potential, but it squanders it with poor writing, frustratingly dumb characters, and an over-reliance on contrived plot devices. If you enjoy intelligent thrillers, this anime is not for you. If you're looking for something to laugh at ironically, it might provide some unintentional entertainment. Otherwise, it's best left unwatched.

Its like a lazy mix between The promised neverland and Death note, made for "don't ask questions, just consume product and get excited for next product" kind of people...
The poor writing, underdeveloped world building, poor character development and military grade plot armor results in a nonsensical story without rhyme or reason, the whole season is just filled with idiots running around and dying without consequences...
Most of the characters are unbelievably ignorant and stupid and show zero concern in the presence of pending death the whole idea behind the island doesn't make a lick of sense....
I fully understand the idea behind this anime and it really had potential but the execution was so poor that it comes off as annoying as it can be and ultimately unsatisfying...
I'm sorry but anyone who gives this show high ratings and praises is just as ignorant and dumb as the children on that island...
