| I've been enjoying the show so far, but I wish 3/4 of the episode wouldn't have been a repeat of the first episode. |
 |
| Jun and Kyousuke.. middle aged couple, I don't know whether this is accurate or not But I found it funny xD Guess they really don't have time to finish the anime in a week So they made a recap.. kinda with some different shots and completely new scenes |
"Signature removed"   |
| I think it's bit pointless to do the whole first episode part again even though the viewer now knows the backstories of both Nana's, really expected them to skip it or show Rocker Nana what she did after leaving the train. Well at least they put a bit more details. |
 |
| This is pretty much a recap episode, which feels a bit silly to have this early on... |
| If you can't see this is a significantly different experience from episode 1 itself you haven't been paying attention. There are lots of small differences - changes in shots/perspective, added narration, etc. But there was a difference in how I saw NANA and Shouji in this episode versus episode 1. In episode 1, we don't know very much about NANA - other than Nana just taking in how cool she is, and the two accidentally finding each other again at the end looking at the same apartment. This time, as the girls talk, you see more depth in simple things such as NANA asking "So why didn't you go with [Shouji to Tokyo]?" - knowing she's been through something very similar, this is perhaps her way of trying to validate her past decision by seeing it very similarly play out by this very similar yet almost polarly opposite girl. It's hard to get a feel for Shouji's character in episode 1, and he may initially come off as unappreciative of Nana, hence the added scene in which he looks in the bathroom and is overcome with appreciation (and lust) by the work she's done. Knowing more about Nana and Shouji's relationship from episodes 2-4, this small detail feels more in line with his character and shows how they've managed to make it work long-distance - another major contrast between Nana and NANA. (In the prior episode, NANA goes as far to as say she'd rather die than let Ren see her as a housewife, which makes Nana getting lost in housework and going on about how she could get used to it quite humorous. Lord knows how these girls will be roommates, but at least they've got individual rooms...) |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| That was about an 80% rehash of the first episode. It's good that we have context now for both Nanas' backstories, but I wonder if there was a better way to go about presenting their backstories and portraying their first meeting. As it is, the story has been trapped in flashback mode for the past 5 episodes. |
| Dude I was so confused for 5 minutes. Getting back into Nana after weeks what a mind fuck recap-ish episode |
   |
| 6 eps in and already a recap? Ape ni brader -_- |

OFOCN said: Even the narrating in this episode is the same as episode one Dont give it up, im on episode 25 and this anime is good. |

| Differences I found on this episode: - The e-mail Nana received about Shouji entering university - Shouji perspective when receiving the call from Nana - Shouji's noticing Nana's cleaning and appreciating it - Slightly longer scene of Nana on the apartment Personally I liked it. On the first episode I had kind of a prejudice against Shouji, this episode, by only having more context from the previous episodes and the small extra scenes, was like a different experience. The part of the encounter on the train between the Nana's was a bit repetitive but also was quite nice since now we know about the backstory for both so Osaki's small hints on her behavior make more sense now. Overall quite nice. It was interesting to basically rewatch an episode but have such a different experience. |
| I can understand the reasons for doing a recap episode, and the additions to the story were helpful for understanding the plot. The story reminds me so much of my own move from my own provincial town. I was just as immature as Komatsu Nana, but I didn't know it. And I looked up to and admired my more mature and worldly friends, just as she idolizes Jun and Osaki Nana. The genius of the author is obvious. She has constructed characters who are believable, because they are so much like real people, like us. I'm afraid this will be my anime for the spring, and I see myself investing more time and money in the manga as well. The only question is do I buy the digital or the paperback... |
| The scattershot structure of this entire introduction is really bizarre, let alone the fact that the series is still setting itself up to begin with. I've no clue what Nana Komatsu's perspective on the first episode does for anything lol Shelved this for a while, but I think I'll drop this. The themes that the show has tried to touch on lack any proper integration into the story, and the character relationships are all shockingly bad - especially on Komatsu's side. Hope she manages to escape her friend group of people who don't appear to like anything about her lol |
 |
| Amazing. I really wanted to see scenes that already showed up 6 episodes ago. Thank you very much. |
