At first I was confused, since I thought I had make a mistake and was watching episode 1 again =P
This was a nice episode, but I didn't like the fact that it was mostly episode 1 again (but from the a different perspective).

It make me nervous that I have to watch the same again. There was only little difference between ep 1 and 6. It is very nice episode but why they repeat it.

It was really just the same thing all over again, so I was disappointed...
I prefer this over the actual 1st episode though.

I like the episode, but I think they just should've made it the first episode from the sart. They shouldn't have done it all over again, just erase the first ones made! That's my opinion :3

I can see the author's idea to make the watcher reestimate the whole picture. But did we really reestimate it? May be just saw a couple of details from a bit other point of view. No need in retelling us the whole story! 3/5

I'm not sure what it is, but I just can't seem to get into this series. There's definitely no way in hell I'll be marathoning this series, I'll probably just slowly finish it.

Ridiculous. What's the point of the 1st episode if they're gonna show it again. If there was a 0/5 I would've voted that ><
Luckily, the story makes up for this.

A nice subtle recap that was suited in well since both Nana's back-stories have been told.

That's a good way of looking at it. I didn't even think of something like that... but it makes perfect sense. In any case, I have to also agree that I didn't really need a "repeat" episode to re-evaluate the initial picture of the two that was painted in the first episode... It was still a good episode, though. Just a little bit unnecessary, IMO. :x

Wish Nana was less needy...more independent after coming into the city. Right behind on what Shouji & June said. But I guess it takes some time to settle, so no worries Nana.
-I actually enjoyed this episode...seeing as it wasn't entirely a recap. It was worth watching though, after getting a lot more character development and background. Now, we can move on with the story~

I don't see why people are complaining. Sure it's the same episode, but the knowledge on both of their pasts coupled with the re-telling words of the many different conversations made this a completely different experience. The irony was immense.

It was an intelligent move in my opinion. Though, I'm very observing in nature so it may have been more eventful for me than the next person.

It feels like I'm about to start season 2 now (the flashbacks were that engaging). Looking forward to it!

I don't see why a recap was needed here, it is not like this is a complex show to follow. The extra scenes just seemed to solidify what was already obvious in the first episode, there were no amazing revelations that had occured behind the scenes or even any real character development.

So ep1 again? I don't know how to feel 'bout it..
It was a good one, but I think they could have
made the whole show without the 1st episode,
this one would've been enough.Liked it,though.

Interesting approach. Now that I know the back stories, I could appreciate episode 1 more.
Guess the real deal starts from the next episode.

man when I first loaded this I thought I got the first episode by mistake and ended up having to look here to check if it was meant to be a repeat. I understand the purpose of using this episode as the debut and repeating it after the flashbacks, but... meh. At least there were a few new scenes.

Hum, yeah, don't really know what to say about this. To be honest, as soon as I saw it was the same thing as the first episode, I skimmed through it to check if it was exactly the same thing and yeah... Pretty much... Misstep from their part, I'd guess.

I think episode 6 was sloppy. It would have made sense if everything was from Shojis point of view. But they only had asmall part from his point of view. Having us sit through the Nanas meeting again and everything was pointless. Everything shouldve been kept in Shojis point of view for at least 85% of the time

This was a pretty boring episode.Not surprising since it's basically a recap of episode 1 with a little extra detail.I guess this is a good episode for those who forgot about episode 1 after watching Nana 1 and Nana 2's backstory.

Smart repeating this material. It's a significant event (them meeting), but after the backstory this is all put into context. Even though it was the same beginning, I viewed it differently this time.

Yes, my thoughts exactly. I feel like this time we got to see why Komatsu Nana left so fast for Tokyo. And we also got to see Shouji experience everything.
