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).

Nana is a series, where you get to really know each and every character with their flaws and strengths. If it's love or hate, you really understand them because they are so well fleshed out.
It makes them feel so real that every interaction between them hits you hard, if it's in a happy, funny or sad way, often it's devastating.
All that is only possible with the brilliant character writing from Ai Yazawa.
The songs are phenomenal and how they integrated them in the openings/endings is wonderful.
I can only hope that the story will continue and find its conclusion someday.
One of my all time favorites.

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 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.
Nana, in my opinion, is the best slice of life anime there is.
The story is incredibly realistic and you can actually see yourself in some of the characters. Not to mention the impeccable songs the anime produced.
For sure a must watch and one of those animes i will always hold close to my heart.
