Oh Nana, He’s Such a Jerk!

March 11, 2010

(opening song below)
Okay, I’ve finished watching episode 12-16 and that Shoji is such a jerk! No girl, even Hachi (Nana), deserves to be treated that way. Yes, she’s not totally innocent in the whole thing and yes, she is quite annoying but no one deserves to be treated that way.
Sachiko is not without her fault [...]

March 4, 2010

Episodes 9-11.5 of Nana were fairly good (episode 11.5 was basically a clip show) Nana did have me tearing up a bit, couple of times (yep, that’s right. I cry and I don’t like it). There seems to be a lot of focus on Hachi (I’m not sure why) I find her a bit annoying [...]

I had to read my disc a few time [...]
