Takumi said that Ren's addiction is purely psychological, though, not a physical addiction like tobacco - so drugs are out of the picture.

Did anyone else notice that the ring on future-Nana's finger was different than the engagement ring, and they made a point of flashing it? Combined with Takumi's comment about cancelling his marriage, and Nana's odd speech style towards Nobu at the end, I got the impression that she was *not* married to Takumi.

But still, it's been 2 years. Where's season 2?!

Although the ending makes me feel sad, NANA gets a 10/10 for me, I enjoyed every single second of this series, one of the most realistics plot I've seen.

and the Anime will continue when the manga is finished, and the manga is coming to an end :D:D:D:D!

i cant waaait! ^^

This episode was kinda sad and it raised a lot of questions, like Where the hell is Nana? The ending, or the lack of it, made me want to read the manga, but I'll just wait for the second season.

Thats why most of people who watch NANA can't just use a harsh judgement on the ending, not even a good conclusion due to how it ended (hard to predict what happened with Hachi's daughter, Nobu and both Nanas anyway), since its quite clearly stated that the plot hasn't finished yet. But comparing NANA to the most of romance series out there... no wait, It's not even fair to compare, NANA with another romance series, its just completely in another level, the realm of "Realism" is just beyond of what this show made me feel, it was very, very real.

I wanted to take a peak to the manga as well, but that would be a crime. So lets better hide our guts and wait more for the second season.

so i just finished watching the anime. and its heartbreaking, i was suspecting nanas death all thru the last episodes, but i NEED YES ITS A NEED, someone whose the read the manga just to let me know if nana the punk rocker is still alive. just a simple yes hses alive wud do lol. as for hachi OH MY GOD i love her but she pisses the hell out of me with all that hesitation and crap. anyway PLEASE let me know. yes or no ppl, yes or no.

Ehhh... What? This is the ending? I'm assuming a second season is being planned or something because the last 8-ish episodes raised more questions than it gave answers. Does anyone know if a second season is in the works? Or if its being put off until there are more manga chapters released so there's more source material?

Anyways, what I did get was decent enough, yet not satisfying at all. I want to know more about Shin and Reira, as I think they are, by far, the most interesting pairing in the series (even though Hirano Aya's voice drives me nuts). As for everyone else, as stated above, there are more questions than answers, especially with the "flash-forward" that did not help with my understanding of the series at all.

I suppose I will start reading the manga to feed my curiosity.

There is suppose to be a second season once the manga is finished. But the mangka got sick and i think she still isn't working on it, but the manga is nearing it's end.

liked the anime but I feel clearly the presence of manga... so can anyone tell me where the aniem stops (about) in manga? or... its different in everyway?

I just finished this anime and I cried. I hate endings like this, the guy & girl who should have ended up together, didn't. But then again, she chose the path she walked down, so I can't really hate the ending, it was perfect in the way it ended. And in that way it resembles real life, and that is why I like this anime, they had relationship that were real. I gave it a 9/10. Now onto something a little more happier, the music was fantastic, most of it is now in my collection. I think I have started watching anime to expand my music collection lol.

I will start reading the manga until season 2 comes out. But I need a break from the emotional drama of this series for a bit. Now to go find something fluffy to watch. lol

9/10 I fully enjoy it. Once the Mangaka gets better and completes the manga I'll marathon it.

oh man that's make me crazy, what's going on maube we need Kira to eliminate takumi. to be honest this series was amazing but the the it kinda make think about it ang man what happend. im not sure if there's a second season

A brilliant series... I can't wait for the second season...

Awesome series. Started out kinda plain/boring, but once all the drama started, I was sucked into it. Around ep 35 is when I knew I was giving this a 10, and it deserved it. By a long shot. It may even be one of my top 10 series.... maybe.

Loved the ending, tho still some things up in the air.

Also, dunno if anyone else noticed this, but Nana's disguise looks justl like Caroline from Yazawa's other series "Paradise Kiss".

Wow and I thought I was the only one who noticed.

Anyways it ended up being quite well put together in my opinion though i generally dislike endings that show some years into the future. The child looks adorable. I wish I know what happened with Nana (Hachi's) relationship with her husband to be and Nobu after all that time. Oh well. Guess I'll just wait till I have the chance to find out.

so yes the ending and the last arc were not as great as the rest, but somehow I feel badly giving this anime anything less than a 10. There were just so many parts that were amazing: the relationship between the 2 Nanas, the Nana/Ren arc, the portrayal of the girls' earlier lives, the realism (at least for a while), etc. Yes it kind of went downhill but it was starting from such a high point to begin with, I doubt many animes can retain that level of awesome for 15 episodes let alone 47. So for now I am giving it a 10. Who knows, I may change my mind later, I often do.

The main thing that bugged me however was how Takumi suddenly decided to marry Nana. I thought that was just unrealistic given how much he valued his career over everything else. I also didn't see why she would agree to it when she loved Nobu. It really didn't seem like she loved Takumi that much or at all. It seemed like she was only marrying him because he offered first.

It is drugs because Yas saw Ren weak. There was scene he push Ren against the wall and told him to quit using. Yas also said that he isn't going to take Nana from him. I don't remember the episode, but its definitely drugs because he lost weight and seemed cold. He used them when he had to leave to England, prolly due to loneliness without Nana.

It is highly probable that Ren died of an overdose and Nana killed herself. Otherwise, why would they have Hachi say, "there are so many things I have to tell you". She could have easily talk to her, call her, etc. In addition, Nana would be the in the room with them if she were alive.

Someone said it might be Nana who showed up in the end because the girl eyes lit up. She prolly was looking at the fireworks.

Hachi likely did get married with Takumi, seeing how Nobu is too much of a pussy. He should have open that door and hugged her.

From the way they talk, it sounds like Ren's alive and they're waiting for him.

Nobu: Hey, where's Ren? Isn't he coming?
Hachi: He'll be here for the fireworks.
Yasu: He takes his time, as always.

I'm worried about Osaki Nana though!

Superb series! Haven't watched something as good as this in quite a while. I would give it 11 out of 10, maybe even 12 :)

Really looking forward for the second season.

That was the ending?

Since the first episode i've thought it sounded like Hachi was talking to the memories of a dead Nana, but then there was a while when Nana took over, so I assumed I was just being over-dramatic, but that ending, surely seemed like she was dead/missing. Blast, Hachi and her daughter waiting for Ren but not mentioning Nana, and saying some things are too painful or whatever.

Ehh, I find i'm actually not bothered enough to start the manga now, but a second season seems necessary whenever it finishes.
Oh flip sake, my heart still hurts, I was expecting answers, not more questions!
