To everyone telling the ending wasn't good: This isn't even an ending, it's just the mid part of the anime. This show needs a season 2 to answer many questions of audience.
Now to enjoy this show thoroughly, you must read manga so you will understand what ending is going to lead to(coz manga was halted halfway due to writer's health issues). Only some chapters feel missing in manga and many things seem to be sorted out. Go watch this anime, read manga and you will have experienced one of the most mature and realistic show.

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.
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.
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 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.

Though Yazawa has thankfully recovered enough to return home, the series has yet to continue. While the story of Nana remains incomplete, it has already achieved legendary status in manga and anime history.
