I spent most of the last 12 hours watching the 3rd and 4th box sets of the "Nana" anime. All in all, not a bad series, though the last episode left the series with an incomplete ending (at least, in my opinion!)
Synopsis of Box Set 3
Nana K. is happily involved with Takumi from Trapnest, though she doesn't fully trust him. Nana O. graciously stays away from the apartmen for a while, and both Nanas feel the loneliness of their separation. Then in the midst of BLAST preparing to sign their first record deal, Nobu makes a surprise confession to Nana K. Now she must make a difficult choice, and someone's heart is bound to be borken.
Synopsis of Box Set 4
As if BLAST's debut wasn't causing enough stress, Takumi and Nana K.'s announcemnt sends everyone reeling, but none more than Nona O. and Reira. While Reira turns to Shin for comfort, Nana O. is drawn to Yasu and his calm understanding, leaving her questioning her relationship with Ren. Nana K. meanwhile is happily nesting in her new home, but her continued estrangement from Nana O. weighs heavily on her heart.
After all is said and done, this was truly an interesting anime with one of the highest ratings in my book! I'm gonna miss it! Undoubtedly, I will pull out the entire series to watch again sometime in the future! But for now, I'll quote the song: "Na Na Na Na Hey Hey Hey Goodbye!!!!!!!!!!!"

Back 2 "Nana"!!!!!
I took advantage of the fact that the family decided not to attend today's services at church to watch some anime. I watched the second box set of "Nana" this morning!
Careers, friendship, love--can two bright young women named Nana manage to have it all? Nana K.'s Tokyo experiment is in jeopardy when she finds herself strapped for cash and her relationship with Shoji on uncertain ground. Nana O.'s love life takes an unexpected turn when she's reunited with her old flame, Ren from Trapnest. With such a close connection to her favorite band, will Nana K. get to meet the man of her dreams--Takumi? Sometimes dreams do come true...
I guess this is the part of the blog where I talk about what I liked and didn't like about the anime. That's going to be incredibly difficult!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess the characters are so real that it's hard to find one to dislike!
I am definitely enjoying this anime and can't wait to purchase the 3rd box set from the Dealer's Room at this year's Anime USA convention in a few weeks!!!!!!!!!!! (Along with a few other anime titles!)

Nana Nana! Nana Nana! Hey, Hey, Hey! Good bye..... For Now!
I just finished watching the first box set of "Nana." It was a little repetitive for 2 or 3 episodes, but not bad. I can't wait until Otakon to get "Nana: Uncut Box Set, Vol. 2". I'm not sure if I want to wait until Otakon, but I might have enough anime to satisfy me until I do. What's next on my watch list for today? I have 2 DVDs of "Fruit's Basket" that a friend loaned me (Hi, MDC!). My hubby's attitude toward the series has discouraged me from purchasing it until now. I did check out an episode online, so now I'm going to watch some of the series to see if I want to collect the rest. I think I'll watch "Magikano" after I finish with the 2 "Fruit's Basket" DVDs.
Fruits Basket (called "Furuba" by fans) is the story of Tohru Honda, a high school student who has lost both of her parents. Her mother died only a year before the start of the series, and Touru misses her so much that she always carries her picture around with her. Tohru was living with her paternal grandfather until he began renovations on his home, so he asked her if she'd mind staying with some friends for awhile. Touru didn't want to impose on either of her friends, so she decided to set up a tent in the woods until the house was finished.. until one day she stumbles across the home of her classmate Yuki Sohma, and accidentally discovers his family's BIG secret - when "huggled" by someone of the opposite sex, they are cursed to turn into the animals of the Chinese zodiac. Tohru ends up moving in with the Sohma family as a housekeeper/cook in exchange for room and board, and she is introduced one-by-one to the rest of the clan (some of whom are.. VERY.. unusual).
Summary of "Magikano"
Haruo Yoshikawa always thought he was your average run-of-the-mill middle school student: Great attendance record, no real plans for the future, and three adorable, loving sisters, Maika, Chiaki and Fuyuno. Perfectly normal, right?
Wrong! What Haruo doesn’t know is that his three sneaky sisters have been keeping him in the dark about a little family secret: They’re all magic users! In the blink of an eye, Haruo’s “normal” life does a 180 degree turn into the insane with the arrival of the enchanting Ayumi, who for some reason seems very interested in turning Haruo into a “real man”…as well as awakening his dormant powers! (Wow! What a witch!) Warning! There’s supernatural slapstick, magical mayhem and great jiggling gobs of fan service galore in the most totally witching series ever: Magikano!
A great addition to any harem collection!
They both sound pretty interesting to me, but before I continue with my anime marathon, I'm going to shower and eat!!!!!!!!!!!!! TTFN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kiki Delivers Nana
I am so excited! This weekend, I get to watch some of the anime I purchased at Katsucon last weekend! I am especially eager to watch "Nana!" I saw one or 2 episodes on TV a while back, and it looked like an interesting series. As usual, I'm starting off my anime marathon with a movie. "Kiki's Delivery Service" is one of Hayao Miyazaki's best films, and teaches a very good, if not predictable, lesson in believing in oneself!

2 Girls...1 Name...Nana!
On board the train to Tokyo to meet her boyfriend Shoji, Nana Komatsu ("Hachi") happened to sit beside Nana Osaki who was traveling to Tokyo to fulfill her dreams of becoming a musician. The vocalist for her punk band "Blast", Nana aims for a major debut for "Blast" in Tokyo where her boyfriend, Ren, is the guitarist for a popular band "Trapnest". Sharing the same name "Nana", both girls quickly form a bond of friendship. Their paths cross again when they encounter each other while searching for accomodation in Tokyo. Eventually they decide to live together in the same unit and this further strengthens their bond as the two "Nana(s)" go through their love lives and career.
The two completely different girls who share the same name; Oosaki Nana and Komatsu Nana (Hachi) meet on a train to Tokyo. Oosaki Nana leaves her band 'BLAST (Black Stones)' to become a pro musician and Hachi moves to Tokyo to be with her boyfriend, Shouji. Girls encounter each other while looking for the same apartment, and they decide to live together. From that moment on, they face the hardships and good things of the life together...
I hope I enjoy the entire series as much as I did the first episode, but only time will tell!!!!!!!!!!!
