Is it me or is Nana just getting more and more emo as the episodes pass? She's talking about if she were to die how Ren probably wouldn't follow her. Then there's Nobu's neighbor who looks to be forshadowing with her knowledge on hyperventilating and the fact she's always hiding her wrists. At least Hachi finally got to see Nana at the guerilla live even though they didn't get to talk.

And I'm not liking the new ED song. They brought back Starless Night last episode only to drop it again so fast =\

I think it's funny that we're at episode 43, and only now are the Trapnest guys all "Wait a sec, Reira, does't Shin have a lighter like that? Are you SURE it's not his??"

Am I the only one who that Nana's final line of the episode was really well written? Also, these last few episodes have made me like Reira more than I did before.

As far as the emo thing, I don't really get that vibe from the show as a whole. Though Nana herself definitely fits the term, she's still a great character though. As almost all the cast is.

I'm guessing Miu attempted suicide, and that's why she wears the band on her wrist.

The only gripe I have with this series is that I wish it would show the band members actually playing their instruments every once in a while. We got a little bit of guitar shredding Nobu in this episode. I would love to see Yasu's epic drum skills.

Also, with Black Stones and Trapnest's single being released on the same day, it reminds me of the battle between Oasis and Blur back in 1995. I wonder who will emerge victorious.

Also...

Everything is taking such an interesting turn... I hope Miyu sticks around, and at least NANA is supposedly starting to realize some important stuff about her relationships with Ren and Yasu.

By this point, I definitely think that Nana is with Takumi for good (though he's a little "insensitive", somehow it seems like that pairing works... I guess0. And NANA? Hmm... she'll end up with Yasu? Shin with Reira? And Ren will be all alone. Oh well, I was never particularly a fan of his.

Wondering what's up w/ Nobu's live mask, haha.

@Sky: I think there's probably no way Nobu and Hachi can make up, unless the child is really Nobu's.. that would be one good twist. Judging by the amount of eps we have left, I doubt that'll happen.

obv A Little Pain is my favorite ED from this show, but I liked this one too. It's good because Olivia Lufkin is half/half so she has a good English voice. I liked Nana's closing statement paired with the smooth melody. I can't believe some people here didn't fancy it!

Well... Nobuo is finally getting over Hachiko! I mean before I was a total HachixNobu shipper and now I'm just fascinated by this Miyu girl. She's cute and mysterious. I like it! To be honest, Nobu deserves much better. Seriously. Hachi really messed him up with that Takumi-baby shit! Also loving Nana as usual, and maybe I'm just crazy or I'm starting to see the beginnings of love between Yasu and Nana? *sigh* Poor Ren.

I'm still hoping for it.. if only Hachi answered to that message from the last episode... Somehow that Miu girl doesn't seem to bee good enough for him. She's so sad and serious, brings bad atmosphere.

Also don't think it's going "emo", well Miu definitely is, but I guess Nana is just standing firm, she's just torn apart - there are some choices she has to make.

I'm almost positive nana is going to die end by the end of this. As bad as it sounds it's been hinted for a while now. I feel as though ren or nobu will cause her death just through stress.Otherwise asthma will just be a random disease that wouldn't make sense to me.

Is it just me or does it feel like either Ren or Yasu will die before this anime completes?

I want Nobu to meet a girl who's not emotionally scarred. Seriously, he deserve a nice and cheerful normal girl.

Nana loves Ren but Yasu's been the one who's been the most unselfish and supportive. Bah...the heart wants what the heart wants. Stupid heart.

I want Hachi and Nana to reunite. I feel like Nana's longing for Hachi is the cause of her panic attacks. And someone seriously needs to tell Nana and the rest of the band to stop smoking around her. FFS it's common sense >__<

Awwwww, I already like panic attack girl quite a bit. I think Nobu and her look sweet together. x3

Feel sorry for Ren, though, damn. He's totally in love with her, while Nana's constantly thinking about how she needs to break up with him. Yikes.

Clearly Miyu has her own set of problems seeing as how she suffers from hyperventilation as well.
It would be nice if Nobu could really find someone but what is his problem with chasing after girls who have trouble written all over them? I can't imagine it's gonna end well for him.
So Nana2 hadn't really planned on getting back together with Ren,it was just something that happened.

Miu is cutting herself that is why she hides her wrists. Nobou should take care of her, but I also think he should do Yuri :D

I loved their live performance :)
Too bad it will all end after their single ;/ only 4 episodes left.. lets finish it today.
I doubt that Lucy will win, but if Trapnest new single is this song where Reira is in wedding dress then they may win and why it was already on tv? Both bands had better songs than this new single....

I didn't like that clothes and hat Nobou had for the photo shot :/ He should show his face/hair more.

One of the best episodes so far. Was fantastic, I specifically loved Nana's last line.

"Hey, Hachi. I always thought that life was about standing your ground, no matter how strong the current was. But going with the flow isn't so foolish as long as it takes your forward."

Definitely my favorite Hey Hachi, or Hey Nana quote.
