"Ne nana, remember the first time we met?" these lines are the first thing introduced in the anime and have stuck with me throughout the show and even after it ended. When you watch Nana at a young age, it doesn't really hit you but for me who watched it in my 20's, it made me realise that I was one of the Nana's.

got into watching Nana not knowing what to expect but I don't think I could watch another anime that portrays life as well as Nana does. It totally makes my top 3 favourite anime. It broke and mended my heart over and over and in the end it left me with a feeling of love, hurt and longing. I have never been as affected, touched and moved by a series in my whole entire life. The music is Nana always gets to me, the instrumental and the anime along with the characters and the pain they feel. It is one thing to relate to fictional characters but it says a lot when you can even relate to the melody of the music in Nana because it represents all their struggles and feelings so deeply and beautifully. It somehow screams all their memories to our ears. Nana will forever hold a special place in my heart it was so ahead of its time and I will rewatch it every autumn. I wasn't really shocked when I learnt that this anime was made by a pisces woman. As a pisces myself I could relate so so much. As much as I want it to have a proper ending, I feel like this hiatus by Ai Yazawa made this story even more beautiful, powerful and sadder. Its more than fantasy, it's so alive. My writing is all over the place but this wasn't just a review but how the world of Nana really made me feel.
