even though nana is said to be annoying, naive and dependent and what not i can relate to what she's feeling.. for people who experience those emotional attachment issues, not being co-dependent is not as easy as for other people so i think it's pretty realistic. i guess if you dont experience this yourself you find it annoying and stupid but if you have the same problems or experiences you empathize with it more and acknowledge the humanity in her

What? How are these two already in love? And I thought after this guy told her all her truths I thought there would be a bit of character development but suddenly they like each other?

This was awful, and if the series keeps going with this kind of leaps in logic and awful romantic relationships I will have to drop it.

I really fucking hate this Nana, and everything the guy told to her was true.

I'm blown away by the art. There weren't many anime (any anime?) with such perfect art and animation back in 2006. And it is as good as the best stuff in 2023. Never going to mistake it for anything other than josei/shoujo style romance, but it much more than just that...

I started this anime when mi three-year ex-bf and I end up our relationship and I was kinda over it when I started to talk to other guys, and it's so funny how every time I think I'll stop watching IPL streaming it's cause I'm better now and that I've found a decent guy e v e r y time they fuck it up and I just keep on whit this

Episode 3 and we get the beach episode?

This opening has a really great start to it

Friendzoned but we know they get together so no worries

Shoji being a lot cooler then I thought...gonna be hard to watch when he does something wrong

My view on this series is that everyone will end up doing something wrong/annoying at one point at least haha

Looks like Shoji was at the end of his rope there, can't really fully blame him, Nana seems frustrating to deal with ha

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO not him...

Guy is still married and yes you should hate him!!

Guess it ended good? Not satisfying enough but she seems to be over him at least.

Been ages since I last watched this, and from what I remembered it was competent. What in the actual fuck happened while I was gone lol. I've never been a fan of how shallow Nana's friendships are in this series, though it's baffling how unsympathetic and cold they were about moving to Tokyo. Really makes you question why Nana is even friends with them in the first place when they all barely tolerate her and treat her as a liability. Shoji's "I might rape and dismember you, bro" bit in the hotel was hilarious as well. Way to sell the bag.

The scene with Nana and her teacher was just bizarre. No clue why this series is framing statutory rape as character development.

On a more positive note, the 2000s character and fashion designs are as great as I remember them being. Love the spindly limbs and anorexic proportions on these guys.

She's a massive simp and immature as hell. For a second it looked like she was about to bang that guy again right after Shoji went

Only Op & Starting Bits Were Good ; Will See If Black Nana Back Story Is Good Enough For Me To Continue.

Watching this for the first time and it's hitting me with some nostalgia for early 2000s fashion styles. The clothes, the stupidly high shoes, and the phones.

beautiful. i thought a backstory that would consecutively drag on for multiple episodes would be a deadweight in terms of pacing but the story isn't as predictable as i had assumed. I shouldn't bring my expectation of common love tropes and storylines from the flatter shounen perspective and just enjoy the ride

I understand why people think this Nana is annoying. She is very self-centered. But I still like her for some reason. I'm not sure why though.

She forgave the manipulator Asano way too easily.
