A Heartbroken Hachi

A NANA Review
I love Hachi's face expressions <3 I think I'll start with her at the beginning of every review.
I've been quite captivated by the story of NANA, for the fact that it shows real life problems that many encounter, but also, the plot is quite genius. As a person who believes in fate (just like Hachi), this is a great example of how life can change so dramatically just by meeting one person. Also, it's quite special that two people with the same name, same age, and same destination would meet each other.
From the beginning of the series, Nana-chan's personality really caught my attention. I envy her independence and her cool character, but also the fact that she has soft and kind side. She was probably automatically my favourite character. Her character changes throughout the story though, and I think the best of her personality and character is shown now, rather than later on. Ironically, my own character is very much like Hachi's, the dependent puppy who follows others and always need help. I can always relate to her actions and cute personality. Perhaps this is why I'm so envious and amazed at Nana-chan...because I want to be someone like her ^^;;
The anime version of NANA is more interesting compared to the manga or the movies. The way they portrayed the characters were a bit more lively, fun, and with a good dose of cute anime expressions and actions here and there. The part where Nana and Hachi were touring the same apartment, then fighting over on who gets it was pretty funny =D I also noticed that Nana has a bit more open personality, compared to cold stares sometimes noticed in the movie, and mature character in the manga. Hachi is just adorable~ She's so energetic and lively ^^ Anyways, I also want to make a note that I love opening song and especially the first ending song. Olivia Lufkin is an amazing singer <3

Hello everyone, kokoro here! I've newly taken an interest in blogging, particularly in anime. Now I'm completely new at this,
so as much as I wanted to create a new layout, it's pretty impossible. It took over an hour just to get the comment bar to show
up! Anyways, I've been obsessed with anime ever since I was 10 years old. It started with cardcaptor sakura, to my current obsessions
like kuroshitsuji or NANA. Angel Sanctuary ( well anything by Kaori Yuki ), Hikaru no Go, Death Note, Black Cat or Detective Conan.
So I can't really say what genre I enjoy, if it doesn't go all stereotypically then I'd probably check it out. Putting that aside, I'm
usually fairly nice, can get high ( by that I do mean drugs ) on almost anything, and is fairly eccentric~ Oh yeah, a side note, Mystere and
I are not related, so that means we're not siblings, twins or cousins.

Hello! This is Mystere! I'm completely new to blogging and working with html,
and I'm here to help kokoro with her new blogging interests...which also became
one of mine under her constant influences ^^;; I also am interested with graphics,
in which has also been because of kokoro. So, a bit about my anime/manga past,
my very first anime would be Sailor Moon when I was about six year old,
I've also had a four year obsession with Cardcaptor Sakura <3 but not until I was about ten,
did I realize that there were almost infinitely more out there! A lot of my current
favourites are from following koko-chan's footsteps, and completely falling in love
with them~ My list ranges in genres, and including Death Note, NANA, Code Geass, Ouran
High School Host Club, Shinshi Doumei Cross, Para Kiss, xxxHolic and so on~
For personality, I'm a bit quiet, but not shy! So I will open up to about certain things
if the topic really catches my interests ^^ I can be -just a little bit of- a perfectionist sometimes,
and loves to put all my efforts when I'm given a task. I won't stop nitpicking on details until I'm satisfied~
Lastly, an add-on to Koko's side note, no we're not siblings in any way, we're best friends <333
