Pchan 5,162 Report post Posted December 4, 2007 I began watching this on the train, couldn't wait to get back to it and went at it over the weekend, couldn't let go of it and was up all of last night to get to 30/ 32 episodes or so. The series is a layered-intense-real-EMOTIONAL whirlpool. You don't wish for some things to happen, yet when they do, the characters are so well written, that you're hoping to see/ know what happens next, ya know. It's got me on it's finger, swaying about at it's own whim! I love it so far ... I hear from CG~chwaan that the manga's last chapter's yet to release. The anime's complete at 46/47 episodes though (I think). What'd you guys think of it?

Eppy 3,446 Report post Posted December 4, 2007 Read the manga its an even bigger emotional roller coaster ...you should probably check out Paradise Kiss to its Yazawa Ai's work before NANA series is short and the manga is fairly short too but they are both great especially for the artwork used 1 Pchan reacted to this Quote "That fairy needs to stop shouting in my ear, or I'm going to throw her friend I have trapped in the bottle into a lava pit or something. HEY, LISTEN! No, YOU listen. If something's important, just say so without yelling at me. Or fly over to it and change color like you usually do. Just because I'm busy mowing the lawn and hoping I'll find some spare change, doesn't mean I can't hear you." - Link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pchan 5,162 Report post Posted December 4, 2007 o_0 oohhh ... after every episode of NANA I was like Ok, Eppy would say "...get ready to slit your wrists..." X'D. I think I have Paradise Kiss somewhere or maybe not, will have to check ... haven't updated MAL since October I think.

Eppy always pulls out some tape and peaces me back together every time I think an anime is going to turn into school days now. DeathfireD: shit shes gonna kill her self! nOOOOOo Eppy: Pulls out tape and starts peacing you back together. Quote All hail piggy, king of bacon ^)^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strider Hiryu 2,704 Report post Posted December 4, 2007 Ha, I laughed as I watched School Days. I guess I'm emotionally numb now after watching so many dramatic shows like it. On topic: NANA is an awesome anime (plus the music to it is beyond great, <3 Olivia and Anna). Sadly I've had to stop watching at episode 21 due to various things (Epples telling me to read a ton of manga and what not). Such a great show but the manga is like 10x better (and I'm actually almost up to current, just need to read the newest chapter). Also check out Gokinjo Monogatari/Neighborhood Stories if you check out ParaKiss, it's the prequel to ParaKiss and is full of awesomeness. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was like that till I watched School days. That totally messed me up bad after watching the last few eps back to back.

Pchan 5,162 Report post Posted December 6, 2007 Double Post! Gomen >_> I JUST finished it and ... and ... and ... GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! I wanna know what happens!!! The ending was not vague, but it leaves you wanting for more, just like Berserk wrecked me up, Nana's kicked me in the groin with an unfinished end. I feel so betrayed X'D. *waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah* Grrrr *snort* where the heck have I stored the manga *evil murderous intent* All left aside, I wished for both NANA's to have a good happy meet in the last episode, I feel as if a lot was cramped in there, though I thoroughly enjoyed the entire anime. I'm gonna rename someone at work 'Hachiko' just cos I loved the sound of it ... that and 'Sachiko' for the evil one at work X'D.

Eppy 3,446 Report post Posted December 6, 2007 the manga is still going so of course the anime isnt gonna have a complete ending Quote "That fairy needs to stop shouting in my ear, or I'm going to throw her friend I have trapped in the bottle into a lava pit or something.

Honeybee 29 Report post Posted January 5, 2008 i think the anime is extremely awesome, though it could get kind of confusing if you watch it nonstop, all the lessons and meanings started to get blurred for me after a while, still i love the characters, also i found the conflicts fairly relative, and not too over the top. I'm concerned over whether there song for i believe the second intro was really "punk" (I wanna need your love...I'm like a broken rose) I think both Nana are interesting, and i like them together Quote http://img515.imageshack.us/my.php?image=siggy30hi.png Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
