Nana anime nude

This is review number four hundred and twenty one. This anime is part of the Spring 2006 lineup. It’s called Nana, and it’s a forty seven episode anime about a bunch of people having a lot of casual sex. Yeah, this took me a while to finish. Let’s read on.

The anime follows the life of two people named Nana as they live their days in Tokyo. They both have different dreams, different personalities and different lives to life in general, but they soon discover that the presence of the other holds so much significance as they brave on with their own lives.

I think in the very first episode, you’ll see Nana K and her friend naked in bed. It was a transition scene too, so it’s implied that they just had sex. Ladies and gentleman, the Josei genre. If we’re indulging in the beauty of youth and the idea of falling in love, then we’re strolling in Shoujo. Let the characters have casual sex and have them half naked all the time, then you’re in Josei. I guess this is why I have a hard time really appreciating this anime, because I am really not its demographic. I can’t really relate to characters having casual sex and female leads thinking about how to their man happy. The elements of the genre come at you right away, so I guess you have the entire prologue to really adjust to the mindset of the anime. It can also be romantic, in a pragmatic way, especially with how Nana Osaki’s relationship is presented.

The other half is the two Nana meeting again, and the story basically starts here. Their paths have crossed and we’ll soon find out how much the two influences each other. Again, we are drowned in dialogue but we are also introduced to the important people in the characters’ life. At this point, the story is really only ramping up to the big moment in episode 14, and this’ll really be the big test on whether you’ll enjoy the anime or not. Then again, if you can power through the prologue then the moment in episode 14 is really just a beautifully executed pay off for you. It was for me, because it was a culmination of all the best parts of the show. It was also the first big conflict of the anime, and it gives you an idea how great the other conflicts can be later on. Like, really, it just gets better from here.

8/10 “The spirit of the original source is so strong that you can look past the technical errors of the anime, because when boiled down to its essential, Nana is a soulful and passionate story about life that we can relate to.”
