Nana

I still dream of the manga will finish if the writer Ai Yazawa can not finish it I would love to just read the ending I can collocate picas from here and there but still the end if Nana will ever return to her friends, Tokyo or not still a mystery within Maybe Hachiko son with Nubo (Ren) will meet her by coincidence and she will return with him to Nana back home, who knows I wish Ai Yazawa will just tell us or just release the ending in writing without any drawing will be helpful.

I hope she read this too to know how are we still waiting for a long long long time and just wounding when is the end coming.

When most people watch anime, they want the typical action adventure underdog shonen plotline. If your like most guys and only like the mainstream stuff then this isn't your cup of tea. No. Nana is the cup of coffee I need every morning. This show is an emotional rollercoaster. As the first few episodes will give you more into the characters background and later on it gets more and more intriguing. I'll admit it was painful to watch because it was so realistic. Yes, you might get annoyed with hachiko for being dependent and clingy but I'll admit I do know girls that are like that. Nobody's perfect. We all have flaws. What do most of us in our 20s do? Smoke, drink, breakups. Nana does perfect that. There aren't much anime like Nana. Thats because most romantic dramas get adopted to live action series because its more suited to real life or it just stays as manga series only.

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 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 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.
