Hahah, that blonde guy reminds me to Happy Nana, I bet they'll end up together
I also don't think Dark Nana and Ren will break up.

Great episode, i liked the backstory of Ozaki Nana more than the shy Nana. Hopefully things become more intense later.

The expression in Nanas eyes, when she got dumped, tho.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Finally Nana's backstory ended...now, we got second Nana's backstory! Her backstory is way more interesting, as she is not annoying.

While blonde Nana is having good childhood
Black Nana is having rough time
I was expecting that, her looks kinda say it all

Seems like both Nana have a pretty good experience with men
But also bad experience

Let's see which Nana is better xD

hmm.. the story and its characters is not really clicking with me so far.. This goes into dropping direction so I really hope this picks up real soon.

Nice to see Micheal and Nana eventually having that romantic moment
Finally the backstory of other Nana, looks pretty dark and cool compared to the ''loose woman' lifestyle the first Nana had. They have a lot more in common than I thought besides their name and living circumstances.

Mature and dark.
I prefer Romi Park voicing female characters to her shouting as shounen protagonist any day of the week.

Love it.

People hate on character they don't understand.Same as always...
I hate everyone equally

One other thing I knew about NANA before going in was that it had no qualms about featuring sex as part of its story. It's something I don't see too often, as whenever it comes up, it's usually done in a fetishistic way as opposed to anything plot or character related. Here, it's definitely used as a means to establish a physical and emotional bond between characters, but NANA presents romance as easily diluted. Love isn't straightforward for either of the Nanas, and it's tempting to try and draw parallels between them. After all, the OP opens up showing both their rooms mirroring each other, possibly implying that while they're similar on the surface, they've buried a lot of emotional baggage behind their locked doors.

Sex doesn't necessarily have anything to do with a long term relationship, and as circumstances change, what is thought as love can be tossed aside. That seems to be a core tenant of NANA, where it mixes flawed characters with differing, fleeting goals and an unclear impression of what they think true romance is, or if it even exists. I think they all want to love and be loved, but they keep hurting themselves and each other in the process.

Definitely a better change. I much prefer the mature and gothic atmosphere of the cool Nana's backstory. Can't wait to see where this goes.

The characters are very well done. Truly drives this show.

Okay, this is a bit better, I did not like that arc with the other Nana because I didn't see any reason for her and her boyfriend to end together, but with this Nana, I feel at least she and her couple had stuff in common, they both love playing music and they share traumatic childhoods, this is actual characterization so it feels like they were made by a completely different writer, lol.

The thing is that, while with the other Nana I could only see defects, with this Nana I couldn't really find one, she was kicked of school and all that, but for a punk rocker chick she was quite nice, she isn't moody or mean with her fans or her audience or anything, and it seems like getting kicked out of school and stuff like that was caused due to her traumatic past. So while she might be less annoying than the other Nana, not having a clear defect doesn't leave anything for the story work for to give her development in the future.

I hope the characters can be fleshed out in the future, but for now I can least say I'm not in the verge of abandoning the anime and I want to see what is going to happen next, please give me more of this Nana!

I didn't know we'd start Nana O's story in this episode so that was a nice surprise. I wanted to know more about her. Even with the forewarning, I am surprised by how mature the show is--how certain things are presented and covered. I expected that to some degree though.

Loving Nana K's reaction to Shoji's forwardness. Her reactions in general are great.

Is this going to develop a story eventually, or will it never evolve beyond these two slutting around with non-characters for 47 episodes? Not getting my hopes up.

@Archean-Return The story develops later, but all in all expect more of it with some drama throughout the show.
