Nana

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 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.

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.

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.

:(

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.
