| Just like others anime in early 20s with over 40+ episodes Nana have no proper ending Quite "good" ending if they want to make us "I'll leave it to your imaginations" Don't know if Nana ended up marrying Takumi or not Or if Nana married with Ren We only knew that Nana had a beautiful daughter called Satsuki, thankfully not Sachiko :P In the end I still think Nana is the worst Nana xD |

| I've never felt for someone more than Nobu, waiitttt actually maybe thats not true but man did he get fucked over. Anyways Nana is probably going down as my most despised characte, likeeeee jeeeeeez were you just annoying and selfish. I honestly only finished this, because I was hoping Nobu would get some sort of happy ending but fukkkkk I couldn't have been anymore wrong. |
| One of the better drama anime out there I'm glad I watched this. Every character's problems were very down to earth and relatable. I believe anyone can find a part of themselves in these characters not just the main 2 but in support cast too. Their personalities had flaws even so-called perfect Osaki Nana is very insecure and has a lot of issues she's probably my favorite. I relate to Hachi's inferiority complex and her self-destructive behavior I relate to Nana's abandonment issue. Their dynamic is very complex and there is a lot that can be said it deserves its own analysis. My biggest pet peeve about this series is that it has no ending. Many character arcs were just left open hanging without any conclusion whatsoever. Meaning they couldn't recieve substantial development therefore I couldn't bond with the character as much as I would like to. I also disliked all that Takumi/baby drama went on with Hachi but thankfully it quickly shifted to Nana's perspective. Aesthetic-wise I don't dig body proportions they are way too ridiculous. Soundtrack is stellar added many tracks to my list I listen to regularly. Overall very solid drama anime that suffers from having no proper conclusion. |

| no what? what was that? I need answers. There's so much missing. I demand answers! |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| So... is Nana dead? |
| I CANT BELIVE that this show has an open ending.. I'm so mad right now.. KLFDSJNOKLFJN... FFS Do I really have to read the manga now ? Fuck man. This show was extremely good. Loved the characters and the story but I CANNOT feel satisfied after an open ending.. I absolutely hate it. EDIT: AND I JUST FOUND OUT THAT NOT EVEN THE MANGA IS FINISHED!! It's been 11 years since the last chapter was released.. This is absolutely ridiculous. I can't even read the manga to get the complete story.. So so disappointed. I was really invested into these characters and the story.. I'm sad. |

| Damn what an anime. It was a beautiful ride. Have been a long time since I watched such a good anime. 9/10 |
| Damn that ending kinda pissed me off. This show had a lot of these annoying moments, but overall it was fun watching these fucked up characters. |

I was really invested into these characters and the story.. I'm sad. well the author got really sick and physically couldn't write/draw. Clearly her illness is awful and all we need to do is wish her to be happy and healthy. She said that she really wanted to finish the manga, so I guess it's just waiting now. |
| Xtina is my mother! |
| We've reached the end, bit suprised to see a scene in the future. Got a bit of a sad, nostalgic feeling there, longing for the good old times.. even though I marathoned this series in a couple of days....I kind of wished they showed a lot more in the end what some characters do, especially if Nobu found happiness... throwing away his last chance to make the girl he loved happy...quite the selfcontrol.. I have to say this series was pretty realistic in the way that life doesn't go always the way you want it to go. Also the way every character had its flaws with regrets (cheating, possesiveness, running away) and that they at some point had to face their problems. Pretty good story, didn't like certain things that happened but still entertaining to watch (*cough* people suffering *cough*). |

| Very nice anime. I was told I was gonna cry my eyes out, but it wasn't like that for me. I really loved it regardless. I've been reading some posts before mine and everyone complained about the open ending XD so while I'm at it Imma jump on that train as well: I'd have loved to see Nana in the scenes setted in the future (present?) and a bit happier conclusive conversation or something... but well, I'm very happy with this as it is. |

| Thought Hachiko was gonna fuck it up again there lmao. The reunion felt incomplete without Nobu though. My biggest praise on this show is that it really understands its viewers. When Hachi shifted to Takumi they just stop focusing the story on Hachi only.. from that point its more about the Blast members. Because well its still painful seeing her with Takumi knowing how he just wont her like that. Takumi is serious but Nobu, as you can again see in the ending, hes a very honest guy. Probably too honest for Hachiko. So yeah overall its a great show it doesnt really dumb you down, it knows when a character does/says something irrational they recall it again in future events and decide whether it was right or wrong. I wonder what happens to my Nana tho is she dead or what :/ |

| After all the good moments , you just end it like that?Really? I haven't actually cry even once , but I really liked a lot of things about this anime , especially OSTs , openings and ending and of course dark realism and psychological parts. It has some unforgettable style. |
| I hate everyone equally |
| i feel so let down by this ending :( the pacing is whack. despite these factors, i really enjoyed this anime overall, from the art to the music and 3/5 of the story...i believe this will remain with me for a long time. the main reason i picked up this anime was because of the art style, i'd had it in my ptw for years but i am glad i finally completed (in 4 days lmao). to the manga we go, i am ready to cry <3 |
| this was, how do i put it, a rage-inducer |
| Come on, this is such a bad point to end the show but there's no helping that sadly considering the manga is in hiatus too. Whatever, I'm definitely going to binge that too and just widen the emptiness because why not? Takumi suggesting that only Ren and Nana getting married could solve the problem surprised the life out of me but I really should've seen it coming, he was being a little too "good" for the past few episodes, for one. Nobuo deciding to leave things in the dark was disappointing but a very human thing to do nonetheless, can't possibly blame him for pulling out of that. Meanwhile, the Shoji - Hachi thing was honestly touching. Props to the two for seeing it through with the "proper closure". Couldn't help but pause for a few seconds there too. Maybe a little too late but better than never, I guess. Nana trying to push things to break out of the halt was perhaps a little aggressive and selfish but well. Sad we didn't get to see anything definitive across all fronts, I became especially curious on the aforementioned suggestion but the growing Nobuo - Actress-san & Reira - Shin relationships. Also, please give some happiness to Yasu-san, the best winger. He deserves the world and more, seriously... Going to really miss the Op & ED artists though, some of the tracks like A Little Pain & Winter Sleep in particular are just gold! Ended up learning a little about the singers, Anna Tsuchiya and Olivia Lufkin, too which is always nice. For some reason, thinking about Shin and Reira hits differently with the insert songs now. Anyways, it's time to plunge into the manga-verse now. One of my easiest 9/10s ever! Could bump it to a 10 in the near future but a 9 seems more appropriate to my experience right now. It's a good thing I kept pushing this for the last 2-3 years since I just turned 20 last month, lol. Seriously though, I'm really glad I gave this a shot because it met and exceeded my expectations with ease. Gotta fix my seasonal watching soon but no regrets! |

| Ahh... I am so sad that the anime ended at that point :( I feel so bad about Nobu not getting with Nana; he was the best contender for her hand. I really didn't like Shoji but I am glad they resolved their issues. As for Takumi... I still don't like him at all. He started out bad and then got less bad. I guess I am happy he has (presumably) helped raise and taken responsibility for Satsuki. This anime was so good. It was full of drama and wasn't ever too boring. The characters felt real and each had their own troubles and was fleshed out; I'm giving it a high score for sure! Hoping for a season 2 despite the long hiatus! <3 |

its 2021.. *cries* |
| Honestly, even though this anime isn't complete, and probably wont ever be, I am pretty satisfied with the "ending". It followed the "life is messy and ambiguous" theme: everything isn't wrapped up in a bow, there are loose ends, unspoken feelings, unresolved trauma, things we the audience still don't know.... and all of that makes it feel real and kind of beautiful. Those are the things that give Nana it's charm. When Nobu left the door closed it was the ultimate expression of love.... really beautiful. I am definitely going to read the manga... even though that also doens't have a proper ending. But, I will continue to have hope. Praying for Ai Yazawa's health and prosperity, so Nana and Nana can finally realize that they are gay and in LOVE WITH EACHOTHER! And if anyone disagree,.... did we even watch the same show? Like how many times did they say I am so in love with you but you are a woman.... like hello. |
| My 85th completed series chronologically. For the record, I extended it a 7/10 rating. |
| I regret watching this series, I wish I could forget it all. It hurts a whole lot. |
| Rewatched recently...such a great series even without a ending,i really miss this anime and Nana Oosaki.She's one of the best female protagonists in anime for me. |
| The manga isn’t complete because the author became ill. I definitely recommend reading the manga, you think Hachi ending up with Takumi is bad, wait until you read where the manga stopped. I was absolutely devastated and I hope she continues it one day. |

| NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I DIDNT KNOW THE STORY WASNT DONE WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WOULDNT HAVE WATCHED THIS IF I KNEW THE STORY WASNT FINISHED DAMNNNNNNNNNN but yeah anyways - bruh i feel let down :( the timeskip made me feel really sad because from what i see, that's not how i personally was hoping that things would go. also made me feel sad because it felt so incomplete and left me with a bunch of questions. and okay so they did go see the fireworks but they just leave it at that?? obviously now it seems they get together every year to go see the fireworks but even still i was also left with a bunch of questions after that. well at least no one died which was what i was worried about. from like the 3rd episode i thought this was gonna end with nana dying since hachi's monologues sounded as if she was talking to nana after her death. i haven't gone to go check out the manga as of writing this post so it's still totally possible that someone could die i guess. regardless of how much i disliked certain characters, how many questions i was left with, and my immeasurable disappointment from this ending, i still enjoyed this anime |
