Ah, Nana. I have to say this is one of my all time favourite anime's. The story was beautiful and the turmoil and joy the characters experienced honestly had me in tears at times.

I loves the music in every aspect, both bands featured in the show had unique and interesting sounds. The art for Nana blew me away. The detail in every work is incredible and is a testament to the skill of the artist.

The characters where so dynamic, developed and well introduced it made me feel like they really could be actual people just fashioned into a anime.

Overall i have to give Nana ... a 10 because it blew me away on so many levels.

I recommend this anime to anybody over the age of 13, only because the story is very realistic in a sense that nothing seems to be watered down from they way it would actually play out in real life (example: People dating DO sleep together)

Pure enjoyment :)

The story line for Naruto was one that I'd never seen before. Kishimoto was very creative in creating an intricate world and background story for all of the important characters. The art isn't outstanding. But at time where the characters are engaging in battle you have to sit back and watch the great visual show. The characters in Naruto are of the most unique and well developed I've ever seen. Kishimoto is a specialist in the 'dreaded flashbacks' but those flashbacks make the characters we're watching so in depth that Naruto has become a phenomenon as cosplaying and especially fanfictions (which happens to be a ... secret pleasure of mine)

Another point of Naruto that makes it very popular with your modern day otaku is the jutsu's. I praise Kishimoto's creative ability for creating jutsu's that play on characters different strengths, bloodlines and topology.

At times the plot can take far longer to unfold in the anime then it does in the manga which can lead to fillers. I believe that if Naruto had less fillers it would have more fans than it does. But for the true fans that find a character they can associate with (almost everyone can) Naruto is an enjoyable experience and is well on it's way to becoming a classic.

The music for naruto also adds to the experience. The opening songs can be of the best and worst around. I know that I have a few personal favourites. The music during the program adds to the emotion of what is happening in the scene. It also seems that many characters have their own theme songs which is always entertaining.

Overall I give Naruto a 7 for a often heartwarming and heart wrenching story about an outcasts struggle to be accepted and never take no for an answer when it means reaching your dreams.
