Comment: The truth is, I wasn't really that fond of watching shoujo anime but NANA really changed my mind. To me, there's nothing much different than any other shoujo anime I've seen but what it makes it special is the theme. The theme really caught my attention the most just like other Yazawa's books. The storyline is pretty laidback at first but there are lots of conflict happened later until at the end of the series. I don't want to spoil you what sort of conflict in the story but it's not really a useless conflict. The kind of conflict they have in the story is just like what we've experienced in life so I must say that it's a very realistic conflicts. The story is more or less the same just like in manga and there are always jokes that really liven up the story. This is an anime for everyone so watch it because it's better than soapy drama.
