4.0 out of 5 stars Nana is Back, Bigger and Better Than Ever, January 16, 2009

This review is from: Nana 2 (DVD)

The second movie is a vast improvement from the first movie. Not that the first movie was bad, but they obviously received a much bigger budget the second time around. Visually, the cinematography is stunning, with an abundance of clear, crisp and beautiful shots around Japan. The second movie stays very true to the manga as well, with the exception of leaving out a particular storyline. But I find that most movie adaptations of literature leave out various details, it's just something that commonly happens between the transfer of mediums, and understandably so (live-action adaptations have time constraints). If they had included all of the details of the manga, the movie would surely seem crammed, so I don't mind the absense of details here. The acting in the movie was also stellar and quite believable, and the humor/comedy of Ai Yazawa's original work remains in tact as well. I felt this was tragically missing from the first movie.

Overall, excellent adaptation of the manga. The characters were chosen well, the music is entertaining and appropriate, and the plot moves at a great pace so you remain invested in the story. My one, admittedly petty, complaint is that the actress who played Hachi in the first movie (Aoi Miyazaki) was much, much cuter and more "Hachi-like" than Yui Ichikawa, who plays her in the second movie. Ichikawa did a fine job acting, she just isn't nearly as cute, and Hachi is very cute... I know she can't help that. Sorry. (I said it was petty). :) Kenichi Matsuyama also does not make a second appearance in movie 2, and instead Kanata Hongo takes on the role of Shin. I am a huge fan of Matsuyama, but this switch is preferred, as he was really too old to play the role of Shin. This was a good switch.

If you're a Nana fan, this must be apart of your Ai Yazawa collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brings back memories..., January 18, 2010

This anime brings back many memories of what it was like to be 20-something and not know what I wanted to do with my life. Sometimes I thought I did know, but most of the time -- NOT!!! These two Nana's are young women who want fame, fortune and love, but maybe not in that order. Seems like they're impatient and want it all now. I can relate. This DVD set is good for those who are 20-something, or those who want to get together with their girlfriends and reminiscence about their college days gone by...

By the way, Volume 3 comes out on February 2nd!!!! Happy ordering!

While the series suffers from weak comedic writing, the level of depth and reality in the series is fantastic. The music in NANA continues to be very well done and only adds to the high level of quality along with the art and animation. The DVD set suffers from a severe lack of extras and a steep price for only a few episodes; however, if you can look past that the series is worth owning. The English and Japanese tracks are both excellent.
