Nana

Nana is the best anime in its genre. Nothing will ever top the emotion poured into this show, and did I mention that it has the most beautiful soundtrack? I still listen to all the songs six years later.

This anime tore into me deep. I related so greatly to the characters, I felt almost as if the things they experienced, were also happening to me. Particularly, the relationship between the two protagonists, left me shocked. There were so many moments that were poignant and sorrowful and others that were pronounced and light. While watching, I couldn't help but wince as characters made bad decisions, but I also understood them and saw myself making them as well. I will say I am saddened by the long hiatus from the manga and show as the creator Ai Yazawa is ill. I do hope that they animate the panels from the manga that haven't been animated yet, because there is quite a big event towards the last published release. A criticism that can be seen within the show however is that it does lean into queer-baiting, while maintaining and show based around hetero relationships and the friendship between two women. Whether or not this is for sure queer-baiting is yet to be seen since again the show hasn't been completed.

This is such a great show! I had first read a few manga of Nana and then became very excited to hear that they made it into a TV show. It's a show that I can easily relate to the main character Nana Komatsu. This may contain spoilers.... . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The ending of the show really left me with a lot of questions. I am in the process to see if there are more manga than episodes so that I can further my answers. Just be prepared to be left a little upset after you watch the show because its so frustrating that there are so many unanswered questions!!!! I will try to post anything more if I find more out for you viewers!! Can't wait.

This one is good guys =) I had never heard of this when I started watching and didn't know what I was in for.

I'm currently on episode 28 and it's awesome. Every episode leaves you wanting more. I really can't say anything bad about this one because the animation is interesting and beautiful, the music is rocking, the voice acting is perfect and the plot is very deep, subtle, shocking and suspenseful. Also, there are so many laugh out loud moments and you really start to care about these characters.

Summary------- Two girls both with the same name and age meet unexpectedly and become roommates in Tokyo whilst chasing their dreams. The interesting thing is that they are polar opposites but somehow fit together like a glove.

One is strong, proud and independent while the other is the opposite but oh how their characters learn, grow and change.

I don't want to give away anything so that bare summary is just 5% of the depth of this Anime.

I recommend this to adults as there are many serious themes covered. Despite that this one is just plain fun and addicting to watch. You never feel preached to.

What else can I say......give this one a good chance (at least 3-5 episodes before making any judgments).

Also, I must mention that the music is very good as well. We have music by Anna Tsuchiya (first op. third ending) and Olivia Lufkin (first ending, second op. second ending). Both are popular rock singers in Japan so the music is top-notch.

I haven't enjoyed an anime series this much since Hunter X Hunter (my all-time favorite).

This show absolutely BROKE ME. I had never cried while watching a movie or tv show before until I watched this show, afterwards I had to sit in silence and just sob for like a half hour. It's so incredibly beautiful and the characters are so dynamic and relatable. I saw so much of myself in Hachi and it made me take a longer look at the people I fall in love with and spend my time around. It's beautiful and I love it, but I'm going to need a serious recovery period before I even consider watching it again. It's such a painful but stunning piece of art, and the music gave me chills. I'm so grateful that it came into my life when it did.
