Prologue: Nana and NANA

When I watched the first episode of Paradise Kiss I knew Ai Yazawa a bit and was rather disappointed. Meanwhile I read a lot of her mangas, and perhaps I should give ParaKiss a retry, but first of all I was looking forward to the anime adaption of NANA, one of the best manga series on my shelf(s). NANA is nearly notorious for being so popular among Japanese girls and I totally understand why.

NANA tells the story of two girls, that by coincidence share the same name and the same goal: Living indepently in Tokyo. Those two couldn't be more different in character and style, and still destiny brings them to live together in a flat.
Actually manga volume 1 is about the background stories of the two girls, it's a good introduction to the following story. The anime jumps right into the event of their first encounter, and a fresh and also good start that is. I guess there's nothing I could critisize about this first episode. As expected from a show where one protagonist is singer in a band, opening and ending are great, Ai Yazawa's great humour found it's way through the brilliant art and animation in hilarious moments of deformed faces ^^
All in all a perfect start to a hopefully great show!
