Try Macross frontier and macross delta

[@ПётрНауменко-т4з]

About MACROSS there are MANY openings, BUT because its main theme are Mechs and SIngers fighting against Aliens they usually use heavy licensed music thats why you can hardly find clear OP, BUT you still can find them by exact name of video. SO try to find Macross Frontier- Opening 1 Macross Frontier OP2 Macross 7 OP Macross Delta OP. This series have so many reincarnations.

[@Malady]

The NANA endings are epic too! Especially NANA - Ending 3 Full - Kuroi Namida (Black Tears) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZi9d4evhd-YhZY

NANA is a drama about the love lives of two twenty-something women named Nana who are roommates. They have contrasting personalities, one more feminine and the other more punk. The show is targeted at adult women.

"NANA" involves music, but it's not a "music anime". It's a drama and a pretty good one at that. There was something about it that just kept making me want more every week. The drama is more real world than a lot of other anime. And since this made me think of it I also recommend "Kimi ni Todoke: From Me to You" too. It's a great romcom and it's getting a 3rd season this year after 13 years.

[@ahoyforsenchou7288]

NANA is a drama classic. Definitely one of those anime that the Twitch zoomers would never ever vote for though, so RIP.

[@JayneAFK]

Black Stones is the fictional band that one of the main characters is in. Trapnest is another fictional band in the show too. So the name you're looking for who actually performed as Nana in Black Stone, it's Anna Tsuchiya (opening 1 and 3) while Olivia Lufkin performs as Reira in Trapnest (opening 2). There's a whole album worth of songs from the fictional bands combined and I used to listen to that so much called Nana Best. Anna even sang a cover of Anarchy in the UK. Not super sure if I'd recommend the anime, unless you're really into this kind of drama filled josei. It is an enjoyable watch though. Problem is, the manga went on indefinite hiatus which is...still ongoing years later and us fans are still so thirsty. So the anime had to kind of cobble together an ending with what they had. It isn't bad, but there isn't a nice bow of an ending to wrap things up with and you're still left with tonnes of questions that will likely *never* be answered. Although anime fans can sleep more peacefully than manga fans, as manga fans did get a little bit more of the story before the hiatus, and what they were left on was a pretty big, heart-breaking cliff-hanger. At least anime fans don't have that cliff-hanger to stress over.

[@SanisBlack]

You said it all 🙇‍♀️ But even as unfinished, for me it's still a masterpiece manga and one of the best I have read in my long years of reading and watching. The music made it worth not having a proper ending for it 💯

[@temenurminen]

OMG. I should have not read this. Now I need to go read the manga and break my heart for the end of time. I had my own head cannon from the anime ending but it seems there is more info to be consumed.

Nana is one of my favorite animes of all time.. it is probably one of the few mature animes out there with a real life relatable story. If I can sum up this anime in few words.. it is about finding your self worth through the bad and the ugly side of toxic relationships.

[@Capt_Dango]

There is just one MACROSS OP, but like Gundam, Macross is a long running series with a lot of sequels and spin-offs so those OPs are probably what everyone was talking about and I HIGHLY recommend you check them out, specifically Macross Frontier. The OP, but more importantly the OST is a duet by May'n and Megumi Nakajima and they are SOOO GOOD! Never watched Nana, but I've had the OPs on my playlist forever!

@@GOTGames Hey Luke, thanks for the reaction. Please check out the Macross Frontier OPs and EDs (especially the EDs like Diamond Crevasse, Northern Cross and Shinkuu no Diamond Crevasse) I have made a playlist of non geo-block macross frontier OPs / EDs (some are substitutes, some are edited/creditless versions of the actual) (kzbin.info/aero/PLNYuvmxOccpPobzijljbtngKNmhhMz8Tg ) After scouring KZbin for Macross Frontier OP/ED non-geoblock substitutes. I am fairly confident that the visuals are the one triggering the restriction. So if the pictures are blurred and perhaps even slightly distort the audio for added measure, I'm fairly confident the vid will get through. Please don't give up on it. also: think the story order was: Macross zero (2002) Original macross (1982) Macross Plus (1994) Macross 7 (1994) Macross Dynamite 7 (1997) Macross Frontier (2008) Macross Delta (2016) Macross: Do you remember Love? (1984) (alternative version to the 1982 macross) then Macross II (1992) was a sequel to Macross: Do you remember Love (1984)

[@NikoCat11]

NANA used to be the king of Anime / Manga shoujo genre, insanely dramatic, top notch even in today's standards, I really love it. The story follows up two girls both called "Nana", and the story starts with they meeting each other in Tokyo to share an apartment. One girl is a "princess", while the other one got a punk band. All the music played in the show are songs from the 2 bands from the story, it's amazing. Extra: when you searched Madhouse you mentioned "the girl who leapt through time" (toki wo kakeru shoujo). It's an amazing movie and I think it's about time you star getting to know Mamoru Hosoda's works, beautiful films (the director :D)

[@misschieflolz1301]

I wasn't expecting Nana. Thank you. It's a genre that I normally wouldn't watch but I enjoyed it, it's not too fluffy which is the main issue I've had with a lot of slice of life drama shows. But I have that to thank for getting me to watch stuff like BECK as well. Honestly tho, I have a bunch of music from both artists featured in the Nana OP's as a result of watching the anime waaaay back when it first came out. It's had a bit of a resurgence in recent years but yeah.... I don't regret it. The third OP song (Lucy) is my favourite.

[@danielmedela8725]

Nana is about 2 girls named "Nana" and same age that met in the train to Tokyo while moving there to make their dreams come true, and that decided to share an appratment. One of them is the dark-haired singer, the other the more innocent-looking brown haired cute girl. Drama, friendship and awesome rock ensue.

[@GOTGames]

[@Tatersalad666]

Madhouse is a prolific studio. They have made so many amazing shows over the years. They are responsible for at least half of the best shows ever made. Basically if you see madhouse is involved, you have to take an extra look at it because of how consistently good the shows they make are. Some of my favorites that you haven't seen yet that you absolutely need to watch are Death Parade, and A Place Further than the Universe. Both are anime original, complete stories in 12-13 episodes and are absolutely amazing. Also a shout out to Sonny Boy which was very much a hidden gem that didn't get nearly enough love.

[@GOTGames]

I still so deeply want to recommend Pluto somehow. whether it's a trailer reaction, or an OST reaction, or something... anything. I just feel like it's a crime if it stays hidden from you, it's a gorgeous, thought provoking, magnetically addictive show. please consider it!

[@naomimevil]

OMG OMG! yaaasss finally!!!!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Regarding NANA's music: Black Stones and Trapnest are fictional bands that belong to the show and their music was made specifically for it, the endings are also performed by them. The lead singers are Ana Tsuchiya and Olivia Lufking and they also make music outside of the show.

[@regtiangha]

There are different Macross series, all in the same continuity. You saw the OG one, and yeah, it's a good series. It's been described as a war story, but not a serious one. But transforming mechs and music are a staple of the franchise, which is why it's endured for 40 years. I guess people might have been talking about some of the other Macross TV series over time; many of them have multiple openings. So if you were inclined, here are those other series: Macross II: Lovers Again Macross 7 Macross Frontier Macross Delta Whether it was old and hand drawn or newer with CG, the animation and music are great.

[@arcanask]

Since you are including II, may as well throw in Macross Plus.

[@regtiangha]

@@arcanask Yeah, but it didn't really have an opening theme. There was an ending theme though, but not set to animation. But yes, Macross Plus in terms of continuity slots in between the OG and Macross 7.

macross is about 3 things; mechas, music and love macross is originally something that tried to capitalized off of the real robot genre that gundam started back then before being able to stand on its own but the real gimmick wasnt so much the jet fighter turning into robots but that massive spaceship the size of a small city (and actually housing a city within) behind the mecha during some scenes… that thing can transform into a mecha too which is absurd because its size can tower above the clouds the premise of macross is that one day a absolutely massive spaceship came crashing down to earth intact but no one is inside and studying it help accelerate and advance technology to eventually venture into space using this spaceship now its been reformatted and retrofitted for human but hidden from public eyes it was discovered that aliens exist and there was an impending invasion with the reformatting of this spaceship into the macross was suppose to help humanity escape with the fighter jets being disguised combat mechas to fight these aliens because these aliens are the size of buildings (hence the size of the macross) overall, macross is also famous for pioneering what is now called the missile circus animation technique or macross missile massacre the oldest mech anime is technically the first anime made in 1963; astro boy or in japanese tetsuwan atomu (mighty atom/iron-arm atom) since the protagonist is an actual robot

[@solariseclipse901]

NANA is my favorite 😍 💓 💕 Thank you for reacting to it ^_^ as for what it is, it's a slice of life anime about two women named Nana. One is in a Punk band, while the other Nana is an ordinary girl who wants to find love. The story focuses on their lives as they both pursuit what they want. The Manga is very heartbreaking but definitely worth reading

[@Butane9000]

Macross is a storied series heavily influence with music and Japanese idol culture as well. It remains one of the very first anime I watched when it was brought to the US as "Robotech." There's several series: Super Dimensional Fortress Macross (original), Macross Zero (prequel, ties to 4th series), Macross Plus (sequel to original, short), Macross 7 (3rd series), Macross Frontier (4th series), Macross Delta (5th series). Lots of movie adaptations and manga adaptations sprinkled within and throughout the timeline.

Nana's music is singed by ana tsuchiya, who is an awesome artist by herself. You should check her. Also, if you want nana specific songs you can search for blackstones (fictional band in the anime) or titles with "inspi nana" in tsuchiya's discography

[@szacsesz]

I didn't expected to see Nana here, but I must admit that it has some good opening songs. I think it may have been in an anime song list that you've checked out before, that's why it sounds familiar. As for Macross, I've only heard the Macross Frontier openings. Maybe people thought of that as well. Those are pretty famous. For nostalgia and good songs, I would recommend anything from the followings: Slayers, Chrono Crusade, Ah My Goddess, Full Metal Panic!, Blood +, Basilisk.

[@chuchu5923]

Nana is an amazing and unique anime, definitely worth watching someday! And I love watching your journey as an anime fan, now you are evolving into a guy who knows the studios, yey! 😆

[@brokenphantom3g]

Depending on how you define "mecha", the first giant robot anime was Tetsujin 28-go(localized in the west as Gigantor) which I think it was animated in early 60's but that was a giant robot controlled by a wired remote. The first giant robot that was controlled by a pilot inside of it was Go Nagai's Mazinger Z. However even before that you had things like Tetsuwan Atom(aka Astroboy) and Giant Robo in the 60's If you get a chance, I would love to see you checking out some of the classic 60's and 70's Openings for mecha shows. Edit: Before I forget, Macross is a long-running series much like Gundam with plenty of spin offs and side stories. As far as songs to check out, I highly recommend all of Macross Plus OST (Fantastic Yoko Kano works), All of the openings for Macross 7, Macross Frontier, and a personal favourite, the Opening for the Macross Digital Mission VF-X game (Get free by Hummingbird)

The oldest mecha anime frenchise should be gundam, this first aired in 1980. Macross should follow with 1982. Both have huge frenchises with lots of different animes sharing some general concept. Macross openings you should have reacted to should contain: → Chōjikū Yōsai Macross (1982) → Macross Plus (1994) → Macross 7 (1994) → Macross Zero (2002) → Macross Frontier (2007) → Macross Delta (2016) The last two are the most known in recent years.

[@Rycel2001]

Mecha started in the 60s but got really big in the 70s with the "Super Robot" subgenre where the protagonists would fight against kaiju/giant monsters. Tetsujin 28, Getter Robo, Mazinger Z, Dancouga, and even newer shows like Gaogaigar and Gurren Lagann fit into this subgrenre. Super Robot is more pulp-adventure science fantasy, while Gundam was the first Real Robot show which leaned into more grounded, dramatic science-fiction.

[@svenbrnn]

@@Rycel2001 not taking about the genre but the frenchises. At least I don't know any other then those two that are still bringing out new series.

[@Rycel2001]

@@svenbrnn Valid enough. Aside from the Brave series (the ones Gaogaigar came from) I think the only Super Robot franchise that is still going is Getter Robo, but that may just be Go Nagai nostalgia bait (same thing with the remakes of Devilman and Cutey Honey). The cultural impact of Gundam cannot be overstated, and now Real Robot is what the vast majority of people think of when talking about mecha anime. Even fantasy shows like Rayearth and Escaflowne invoke Real Robot tropes more than Super Robot ones.

attempt 14, Day 15 of asking for a reaction to Dot Hack Sign openings and Endings. Madhouse is indeed a great studio with lots of big highlights. Macross is pretty awesome actually but it definitely has more than 1 opening. Regarding anime ages. Astro Boy is generally considered the first anime that had any real currency overseas. Gundam first came out in 1979 and influenced all other mech shows including Macross. Sailor Moon was first released as a manga in 1991, and as an anime in 1992. One Piece was first released as a manga in 1997, and as an anime in 1999.

NANA was one of the best anime I ever watched in my life

[@assimilater-quicktips]

Yoooo finally after you saw the live performance for something from nana I’ve been waiting for this (nana is my number 1 favorite anime)

[@OmegaS-117]

I just actually started rewatching Macross a day or 2 ago

[@annthedreamer]

For me the most amazing thing in Nana is how it hits different when I watched it as a kid and watching it as a young adult. One of my favourite animes yet ❤️

[@anagramhound]

I remember the first time seeing the artwork from NANA back then and the first thing I fell in love with was the outfits.

[@urakovaliaskar4731]

Nana, takes me back to my teenage years

[@arcanask]

Finding Macross music on youtube is not easy. it's not really hard, but it's not as simple as just putting macross into the search bar. Harmony Gold and JASRAC made sure of that, unfortunately. All of their openings are bangers. Anyway here's wonderwa... I mean, the list of Macross series in order of release. Not all of them have openings but all of them revolve around music. SDF Macross which you watched the opening of. Macross II: Lover's Again Macross Plus Macross Seven Macross Zero Macross Frontier Macross Delta

[@TheWhiteBruceLee]

NANA is one of my favorite animes to watch before bed.

[@henshinvolt4856]

I remember Nana being very popular amongst the women I knew in the late 2000s. In terms of older Mech anime the original Mobile Suit Gundam but Captain Harlock is a bit older in terms of well known older ones (early 70s).

[@ghostfighter21]

The Macross opening fans really love are probably from Macross Frontier, that series is super popular and hard to find.

[@tonyyoung1991]

NANA's ending song also very classic to react to

[@JL_Loki]

I love Nana. It has more realistic storytelling about adults and their relationships. Including being stupid at being in love. Sad that it has no ending since the author will never finish it. All the songs in the anime is amazing too.

[@Kinben69]

I also want to recommend Slayers openings and endings as someone already did and I also wanna recommend Shakugan no Shana openings.

[@kokodin5895]

sombody did recomand slayers beside you , so go upvote them

[@RudiTheMan]

Ow shiit, it really happen, this is my childhood, there are more openings since they did make multiple generations of Macross, each reflect the music sphere/culture of the time it was made, and Macross 7 was the rock generation,

[@marthdaeglin]

I'm so happy you reacted to the NANA OPs! I have a bunch of playlists on Spotify but NANA is the only anime that I've given its own playlist. So many bangers! It's kind of a pre-K-On! band anime, much more focused on drama and romance than cute-girls-doing-cute-things. Very raw and emotional. Everything the creator, Yazawa Ai, makes is great but NANA stands apart just because of the fire rock music on top of the story and designs. Oh, "The Girl Who Lept Through Time" is a good movie. Madhouse is a top notch studio!

[@Enchantedpluto]

YOU FINALLY REACTED TO NANA OMFG I CANT BELIEVE IT

[@Geth-Who]

Yeah, Macross was Eighties as hell, but agree with other comments - Macross 7 was fun, Macross Plus was a weird masterpiece of cinema, and Macross Frontier POPPED OFF for its quality spike, with Yoko Kanno being handed an orchestra and told to go nuts for the soundtrack. It's one of the seminal anime space operas. But the oldest mecha anime was Tetsujin 28 in 1963, which was released in the West as Gigantor. Not all that great in itself, as a show, but it opened a lot of doors for a lot of ideas.

[@jayy9777]

NANA openings FINALLY!!

[@kokodin5895]

my oldest anime on the list is from 1978 you already seen nana first opening in best of compilation and nana was very big anime in the past, so big it partially responsible for author neglecting her health and crubbling under pressure comming from fame and the manga is in definite hiatus since then anime itself tells a story of 2 girls named nana sharing one apartment and dark side of showbisness nana is voiced in singing voice by Anna Tsuchiya reira is singing voice by olivia and you should watch endings too because there is more awesome songs vy those two nana is a mature anime and it don't stray away from bed scenes and non medical substances use but it is very well made, even though it looks pale by artstyle

[@foregroundeclipse8725]

Captain Harlock and Galaxy Express 999 are great older Anime from the 70's

[@explorian24]

Hey Luke, thanks for the reaction. Please check out the Macross Frontier OPs and EDs (especially the EDs like Diamond Crevasse, Northern Cross and Shinkuu no Diamond Crevasse) I have made a playlist of non geo-block macross frontier OPs / EDs (some are substitutes, some are edited/creditless versions of the actual) (kzbin.info/aero/PLNYuvmxOccpPobzijljbtngKNmhhMz8Tg ) After scouring KZbin for Macross Frontier OP/ED non-geoblock substitutes. I am fairly confident that the visuals are the one triggering the restriction. So if the pictures are blurred and perhaps even slightly distort the audio for added measure, I'm fairly confident the vid will get through. Please don't give up on it. also: think the story order was: Macross zero (2002) Original macross (1982) Macross Plus (1994) Macross 7 (1994) Macross Dynamite 7 (1997) Macross Frontier (2008) Macross Delta (2016) Macross: Do you remember Love? (1984) (alternative version to the 1982 macross) then Macross II (1992) was a sequel to Macross: Do you remember Love (1984)

[@VertexTuner]

I sorta understand the issue with finding Macross openings for Luke, in the UK, Macross openings are like trying to find a needle in a haystack on KZbin, they're all region locked or something iffy like pitch changed. I love the Macross Frontier openings... can't get them in the UK on KZbin.

[@sebaxriv1629]

NANA GOD

[@Joel-pl5bj]

The singer for the 1st and 3rd op is called Anna Tsuchiya who also sings the Resident Evil:Degeneration ending

[@_weirxo]

I just finished this anime literally a day before this was posted!! The irony!!! Omg!!!

[@craigfalconer1205]

According to Wikipedia the first mecha anime is Astro Boy.

[@BaoZakeruga]

A lot of the macross openings have disappeared from KZbin over the years. The series is iconic and definitely worth watching to this day. Also the oldest anime I know is Astro Boy from the 60s

[@androyus]

3:03 The oldest mecha anime are both Tetsuwan Atom/Astro Boy & Tetsujin 28-Go/Gigantor from 1963. Also, since we're talking about mecha (again), can you do all Gundam OPs in here? kzbin.info/aero/PL03FN3i4wnl3haPAxdc3B4Jr7pXzFBqTp&si=gxYRk0vbG7IvorOE If the sheer numbers overwhelms you, you can divide the reaction into 3 parts: - 1979 to 1999 (stop after Turn-A Gundam) - 2002 - 2011 (stop after Gundam Age) - 2013 - 2024 (from Gundam Build Fighters until now) ...and you can skip the ones that you already did (eg. Witch from Mercury) All in all, Gundam is a Mecha anime franchise that's been going since 1979 and still going strong now. In fact, the now-playing Gundam SEED Freedom movie is making a killing at Japanese box office as I typed this.

[@RedDawnRocker]

Luke, the oldest mech anime is most likely Gigantor from back in the 60s. It came out around the same time as Speed Racer, Astroboy, Prince Planet, Tobot the 8th Man and Kimba the White Lion (the inspiration for Lion King). Now as for Macross, there's Macross, Macross Plus, Macross 2, Macross Zero, Macross Delta, Macross 7, Macross Frontier among others. The series has been an ongoing story/world for over 40 years now. There's a ton of music, OPs, EDs and OSTs many sung by cast members. As far as Madhouse goes it's one of the top anime studios in Japan and has been for as long as I can remember, as a matter of fact Marvel made a deal with them and produced Wolverine, X-Men, Iron Man and Blade anime, DC got them to do Batman and CW got them to produce an anime based on Supernatural. Everything they touch turns to gold.

[@Dr.Mlieko]

The oldest super popular anime by the way is Astro Boy, which came out in 1963 (alto it had several remakes over the decades)

[@BLACKHT3]

Macross was brought to North America as Robotech, it was cut together and dubbed with Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross, and Mospeda to make it fit into the syndication rules of the time that required 52 episodes. They attempted to make a single through story in the dub.

[@alucinabas]

OMG OMG OMG, NANA is the best. Macross has lots of series, each one with different openings

[@colleenanderson9711]

1982 Macross tv series and Macross the movie is 1984. The Macross movie Do you remember love has the most beautiful song ever called "Do You Remember Love?" I recommend that you listen too that song one day.

[@TheErsu]

The song Do You Remember Love is not hard to find. It its sung Mari Iijima, who voiced Lynn Minmay in the Japanese and one of the English versions of the original Macross.

[@TheV8maverick]

To answer your question about the age of Macross, it came out in 1982. The 1985 date you saw was likely the US air date for Macross which was renamed Robotech. Sailor Moon aired in 1992, One Piece aired in 1999.

[@utubemaniac8708]

NANA is such a *chef's kiss* of an anime

[@Rycel2001]

Super Dimension Fortress Macross is one of the pillars of mecha anime, along with Mobile Suit Gundam. In the US, Macross, along with Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross and Genesis Climber Mospeada, was bought up by a company called Harmony Gold and extensively rewriting all three series into a single series called Robotech. The 70s and 80s were huge for mecha anime, so if you want to check out some more classics, try Getter Robo, Heavy Metal L-Gaim, Aura Battler Dunbine, and Beast King GoLion (which you may recognize as Voltron).

[@Occanti]

OMG NANA! YES! One of the BEST animes I have ever watched. Shame it wont be ever finished, but hell, one of my best emotions spent on an anime. Also, I REALLY hope you do react to NANA's endings! They're bangers!

[@arkphoenix340]

If you want to hear something stunning From Macross, try Macross Plus OST...is a Yoko Kanno's masterpiece

[@stokerino1905]

The day when I discovered that all the Nana music was on Spotify was a very good day.

[@DuskMindAbyss]

In case you need a list of all the Macross series and how many openings each one has, so you can find them better. Macross, 1 op Macross II, 1 op Macross Plus, 1 op Macross Seven, 1 op Macross Seven Dynamite, 1 op Macross Frontier, 3 ops (episode 17 has a special one time song) Macross Delta, 2 ops

[@ooshiga]

You can always just do reactions to Macross songs. These are picked with my bias, but here are some of the songs you could listen to. As of February the 21st, there are full length versions of each of these songs on youtube. Uta Macross was a mobile phone game that has many versions of these songs usually with subtitles. Macross Do You Remember Love - A rookie pop singer "Ai, Oboeteimasu ka" and "Tenshi no Enogu" Macross plus - An A.I. singer "Voices" Macross 7 - A rock band with veteran male vocalist and rookie female vocalist "Totsugeki Loveheart", "Try Again", "HOLY LONELY NIGHT (duet version)", "SUBMARINE STREET", "MY SOUL FOR YOU", "REMEMBER 16", and "Seventh Moon" Macross 7 movie + OVAs - "Heart and Soul", and "Dynamite Explosion" Macross Zero - Island tribal music "Horobi no Uta" Macross Frontier - veteran and rookie female pop singers "Diamond Crevasse", "Lion", "Infinity", "Iteza Gogo Kuji Don't be late", "Welcome To My FanClub's Night!", and "Triangler" Macross Delta - idol group with variety of singing experience "Ikenai Borderline (Mikumo version)", "AXIA ～Daisuki de Daikirai～", "GIRAFFE BLUES (Mikumo solo)", "Kaze wa Yokoku naku Fuku", "Bokura no Senjou", "Ichido dake no Koi nara", "Mirai wa Onna no Tame ni Aru", "Zettai Reido θ Novatic", and "Walkure wa Akiramenai" Macross Delta Zetta Live - "Glow in the dark", and "Diva in Abyss" I grew up with the Macross franchise and have been brainwashed by each iteration's music. I regularly use them as exercise music.

[@2DSunterz]

Nana is so good man it's the most realistic romance you will ever see! I highly recommend it it's one of my favs!

[@Tilldeathdouspart420]

I convinced my sister to watch it, and now she's a nana fan. We have matching Nana pfp's now

[@adanlerouge3460]

you and your wife would 100% love nana. Copyright is not an issue, there isnt that much music/songs during the show dont worry

[@Sosorebelle66]

Story of two girls who are moving to tokyo for different reasons but end up roomates. Nana Osaki signer in a punk group and Nana Komachi a girl who grows up to fast.. We follow their love journey and their soulmate love for each other. It's first step in the adult world early 2000. Toxic love, drug, dreams... Honestly this manga it's like a brick on the face and the manga is a stone on the head. But Even with that depression we never regret watching/reading this. This is one of the best show. You really should watch this !! if I remember 50 ep and 21 volume for the manga. Can't wait to see your reactions if we conviced you ;)

[@melissagomez4686]

Finally Nana, this anime is great and sad

[@RheaVesta]

Osaki Nana from BLAST (Black Stones) - singer Anna Tsuchiya, Serizawa Reira fron TRAPNEST - singer Oliwia Lufkin. This two beautiful lady singing all op & ed for "NANA", and they have soundtrack with all songs from this anime. I'm in love years ago with this anime/manga and I never stop. My avatar shows it's a true love
