The animation is fair-good overall. There are some good scenes when the bands are playing music, but otherwise not a lot of flash. There are some very good backgrounds, but the character detail ranges from poor to good. The character detail is mostly good, but there are scenes where it's lacking. The characters are good, they don't really develope at the pace that I would like though. That being said they have a good amount of depth to them. The story is also good, the plot is engaging, but it does feel overly complicated and drawn out. Nothing wrong with a long anime with a complicated story, but only if that story and length are meaningful. The actual pacing is very good. Plot points come at a decent pace and the anime kept me engaged despite my issues with the plot itself. The voice acting was overall fair. The casting is good, but the performances are just okay(fair) and not the best. That and the voice acting for certain characters is annoying from time to time. The soundtrack is good. The actual tracks are very good, but there just are not enough of them for 47 episodes. That being said the ops/eds are pretty great. Across the board Nana is a good anime, but not great. It doesn't do anything particularly poorly, but it doesn't do anything particularly well either. I enjoyed it and do believe it is a good anime, but the length and amount of plot make it hard to recommend to everyone. If you like shoujo this is a decent way to spend your time. 6.80/10
