I mean I understand the thinking patterns of everyone in the show but she is just evil. Yes she was deceived but trying to kill or incapacitate everyone that is better than you (which is the main principal of marxism and universal vote "democracy" which is actually comunism) is evil. The is why Envy is considered a capital sin.

Oh and what they are trying to do will result in basically everybody dying and few remaining living in mud and crap huts

It doesn't matter what her motives are (and tbh I don't care about her sob backstory), that doesn't excuse what she's doing

i didnt say it excuses what she is doing , but it gives more context about the story so we can understand how she become fucked in the head + she will get some character developpement

I still didn't root for her as well even though she is a waifu now. Assume that she did out of envy, maybe. But you better read the manga up to the later chapters you won't hate her at all.

Evil is evil . Machivelli said: road to hell is paved with good intentions. Killing someone for something they may do or for something someone like them did in the past is in no way justifiable. The anime is great I just hate her and consider her an evil dumb girl

Galenus15 said:
Not sure what you mean by "trying to kill or incapacitate everyone that is better than you". It was clearly explained that the talented are dangerous and the government gave her this mission. Unless you're talking about future events from the manga (which you shouldn't be doing here, there's manga in MAL for a reason) you completely missed the point of what she's doing


The story parallels how domestic violence laws first came out that justifies a woman killing her man under the unproven claims of her abusing her. Men are 3-4 times stronger than women so laws were given to protect those not as strong against them, men are generally more intelligent than women so the school system was mapped to give women an advantage. They are dangerous for the governments just because they cannot control them, just because they have the power to oppose being turned into mindless drones.

Ep 3 made it pretty viable to choose between Kyouya and Nana in an L vs Light manner. One side has the better morality (though in this there can be made an argument in favour of nana compared to 0 argument for Light by midway) but both sides will have their fans.

I've played a lot of Forum Maf so seeing a setup like this with 1 scum, 1 detective, and rest vanilla townie is pleasant whether I'm rooting for scum or the detective.

I mean, she isn't an hero. But she isn't supposed to be one. She is never presented as in the "right side" of history.
They (her side of the conflict) are murderers just as much as any of those supers killing off people, just on a different scale.

I am not particularly fond of "bad people as protagonists story", but this one at least gives her a good reason to be like that. There is space for stories like this, they aren't for everyone most of the time. This just so happens to be less edgy than what it appears.

Also, up to now both murdered were quite useless as characters.

I kind of see it as a Death Note situation. Now, in no way do I want to compare Death Note to this anime, as they are completely different, but I feel the same way about the protagonist in both shows.

Both of the characters brush off their murders nonchalantly, as if it was justified. Humanity fears the unknown, so they often resort to murder/massacres. We now live in a much more peaceful world where we understand the wrong we committed in the past, and resolve to never act out such atrocities again. Which is why characters like Nana who basically gives other children death sentences simply because of an unknown factor aren't who we cheer for. Rather, we want these guys to be defeated.

Rather than having the mindset of "watching a bad person be a protagonist" story, think of it as "watching the downfall of a bad guy" story.

Now, I am unsure where they will take Talentless Nana. Perhaps they would attempt to redeem her, but hopefully not. But considering, occasionally I question the logic of this anime harshly sometimes, it may make me question it again by going in that direction. Otherwise, I'm quite enjoying this anime :)

Well, honestly, I was behind Light up until the Misa part. That being said I would have started with politicians bankers, lawyers , police officers. Except for few departments police force is part of leeches that oppress the citizens in the name of the government.

Also Light kills people that actually did something to deserve while Nana kills people that might have a chance to do so in the future. Is a big difference. Is like the question: if you go back in time would you kill Hitler as a child?

And yes this is how I am watching it. Just as when I read Twilight and wanted Edward to die after the few first pages (unfortunately that hope was ruined) I want her to fail.

I am enjoying the anime as well, I just hate Nana.

I think she probably has a reason to hate the "true" enemies of mankind, which are all the students. Maybe her family got killed (most likely) by one of such super-freaks? Of course, her actions can't be justified as she refuses to believe that one of the students can actually HELP mankind, but some kind of trauma must have affected her into becoming a monster that she is. No hate though...I just don't care that much about the characters of this show I guess.

The communism argument doesn't really work, this is less 'taking down the talented people in society so that everyone is equal,' and more 'making sure a maniac doesn't get hold of a nuclear bomb".

Furthermore, these super powered people seem like they're being trained to presumably act as an attack force that'll take over the world or something like that. I wouldn't call Nana evil, I would just call her a very dark shade of grey.

This is like if the X-mansion or whatever was actually planning a revolution, and a non-mutant agent snuck in to take out the X-men one by one.

You could argue to me that Nana is evil, but frankly, I don't care, I enjoy her as a character, because it's fun to see someone use their wit and skills of deduction to kill a bunch of dangerous individuals

now I'm not caught up, I've only seen the first two episodes, but this is my two-scents on the matter.
I'd also say that while I had to think about the series to get these statements out, I don't think anyone should think too much about this series in terms of the overall plot, as there are a lot of holes in this story.
It's just a series to enjoy for the scenario and mind games

I think she is very interesting character. I can't remember when I had last time such conflicted feelings like this series gives me for MC. Whole time watching this I'm sitting on the edge of my chair and rooting for her. I really wish Nana to succeed but same time I really wish that someone would capture her and make her pay dearly what she has done. She is so sad character who really should get bullet in her head to end her misery. I both like her and hate her same time. :(

She kinda like reminds me those Soviet era female snipers. Did you know, that in WW2 Soviet Russia's best snipers were women because they discovered that women can recover faster from psychological impact than men could and women were in generally better killers because that. The reason is that when women feels like their home or children are endangered they can recover faster from emotional trauma and can be bushed to do horrible things for their homes in the name of motherland. Men snipers tended to hesitate when they did see enemy face in their scope but women could kill them without remorse. Some of women in Soviet army could even be more ruthless than men where. Where men suffered emotionally because what they did see or did. Women on other hand could block those emotions more easily thus enabled them to do more horrible things. One of the worst thing for male enemy soldier would be to get captured by full female squad. You would think that male could do horrible things to their prisoners but it was walk in the park compared what might have happened to those who were captured females if those females were crazy enough and no one was reining them down. And crazy things did happen at eastern front a lot. There was so much trauma, hate and revenge there that untold insanities happened all the time and most of times nobody cared.

Think about that. Nana has probably lost her family and she wants revenge against every talented. She also see them as threat for talentless humans and thus for "her potential family". Make no mistake, at that point she is pure killer and nothing more and she should be killed without mercy. There is no redemption for her at this point.

But I really like characters which raises emotional turmoil inside of me. It doesn't matter if character is good or bad. I'm so bored all these one dimensional bored black & white characters which we usually see in TV. Those are boring. Best one are those who are shitty characters. Characters which have flaws. Many might hate Nana because they she evil and they can't relate to her same way they can relate to some random happy princess or hero/heroine. Those characters rarely triggers our feelings. Nana other hands causes hate and that makes her "good" character. You shouldn't hate MC. You should hate what she is and like the anime because Nana makes that anime really good. This anime is hidden gem of the season. I fell love for this anime. This is so good. It reminds me Death Note and Danganronpa.

I would not say they recover faster, I would say they are children. They have less empathy with the enemy so they can be more cruel. It reminds of a small psychopath that for some reason is the hero of many children's books despite being a serial killer and a mad man known as Peter Pan.

When I compare Nana to the other characters, I feel she has the most normal personnality among them. So yes, I root for her because all the others are crazies. (Except maybe for Michiru, looks like every superpower/fantastical anime needs a pure innocent girl who heals her friends)
