Synopsis

Two twenty-somethings seemingly share nothing in common apart from their first name, but a chance meeting on a train bound for Tokyo sets Nana Komatsu and Nana Oosaki on a collision course with destiny. Nana Komatsu, a love-at-first-sight dreamer, aims to find enduring happiness in the big city. Nana Oosaki, neo punk rock vocalist, pursues her burning ambitions of musical stardom and worldwide fame. As their fates increasingly intertwine, they each chase their dreams — until the harsh realities of life in big city Tokyo threaten to tear everything apart. (Source: Sentai Filmworks)

FleurFleur90/100

NANA as a work fully invokes the power of pathos while taking “drama” to new heights.

The background of NANA feels like an endless white night. Things seem to be continuously in motion; beginnings and endings wrapped up in an infinite wave of falling snowflakes waiting to melt into each other. The forefront sits in perpetual twilight; characters seem to be eclipsed by their own shado…

“The longer we live, the more weight we carry in our hearts.”

~~~img720(https://imgur.com/5vZxySq.png)~~~ This anime really makes my heart ache whenever I think about it. I don't think any anime, film or series I have watched in my entire life has made me feel the same way. Nana is a very different experience. I have re-watched it a few times and every time…

Nana, an emotional masterpiece that everyone should try watching

__Every episode of Nana is a 10/10. There are no real plot spoilers in this review.__ When I first watched Nana, I couldn't tear myself away from the screen.

Hey Nana.. I love you

Nana is one of the greatest things I’ve ever experienced in my life and I don’t use that over dramatic statement lightly. Nana I think I can safely call my favorite anime now. Maison Ikkoku had a good 3 year run but Nana just gets everything right. I won’t bother giving a thorough plot synopsis as t…

A painfully realistic drama that portrays the struggles of maturity and love

The Unseen Ties: A Journey Through the Messy Realms of Love in Nana

("Nana" - the show, Nana - Nana Osaki, Hachiko - Nana Komatsu) Step into the world of “Nana”, where the power of love and relationships takes center stage. With its unapologetic approach, Nana is a rollercoaster of emotions, exploring the messy and often problematic facets of love with a daring and…

A lot of what Nana says about life is to keep going forward even though you are being pulled backwards.

Nana to me, felt like a series of recollections. The first half felt like an exploration of Hachi's thoughts about their friendship. Her narration was in post, and tragically felt as if it was coming from a place of sorrow, longing, maybe even regret. The long intro's before the OP that stretch out…

Watching Nana when you are their age hits different.

[ SPOILERS AHEAD ] This was my 2nd rewatch of Nana after a while. I first watched Nana when I was 15, them again at 17 and now at 20 (the same age as the Nanas). The differences with my perspective of the show those ages and now I would say are quite different. For one, I feel my opinions were very…

The most emotional I've felt watching an anime

Have you ever hated an anime for how much it draws you in and makes you want to keep watching? Usually I would love a show for being able to do that, but with Nana, I hated that about it. I hated it because after almost every single episode, I was left with a sad feeling, but in my heart the only cu…

The characters being extremely relatable doesn't mean you have to follow their footsteps.

NANA is an emotional rollercoaster about the grayness of love in the context of a cruel adult world. It's a story brimming with layers, a very mature one that accompanies the viewer in a personal journey which will resonate with their lived experiences as its realistic social nuances and relatable…

Young Adulthood and Identity

--- # ~~~__Young Adulthood and Identity__~~~ --- Nana feels like a sort of crossroads between the shoujo and josei demographics. Charming and familiar in its shoujo-y comedy and character archetypes, but mature and determined in its drama and messaging. It takes that extra step to go beyond demograp…

I don't get the hype.

Spoilers ig I know this is probably a pretty unpopular opinion to not praise this show to high heaven, since that's what everyone and their mother have been doing for the last 2 decades, but I thought it was average at best. But to be nice I'll start off with what I liked. The music is generally…

An anime that could convert non-fans of romantic dramas.

NANA, a frustrating yet intruguing anime that I watched once a upon a time

Spoilers ahead! If anyone ever reads this, it's probably such a dead fandom right now lol. Okaayy soo, let’s start with the beginning. Took me about..10 episodes to finally not just reluctantly watch the anime, the art style also really threw me off cause of how old it was, and I wasn’t used to old…
