NANA

[David75]

It seems I'm unlucky enough to be interrested in series the forum is forgetting...

It seems the show is finished, does anyone have a complete batch for it?
It also seems that no groups subbed the entire series, if there's a batch
with the subs of a unique group, that would even be better.

[Edit: I found a group called Ureshii, but they have a gap for eps 22 to 35.
I wonder if they'll go back finishing these eps.]

Oh, and to those who finished it, I'd be delighted to have your input on this
show.

Thanks a lot

I don't think a batch was ever made. Ureshii is the only group that finished, and they didn't put one out. However, IY-F is still subbing the series (I have 22 through 36 from them), they released episode 42 a few weeks back, so they may still put out a batch when they're done.

They ended the series at one of the few semi-conclusive points in the series whole. Spoilers will be appropriately labeled and clustered at the bottom of this post. The manga continues on for a long time, and is still ongoing.

SPOILERS BELOW:




We get to see Hachi's young daughter in the first part of the final episode. She wasn't named Sachiko, rather Satsuki, and is very clearly Takumi's child. Hachi has come to some semblance of settling her feelings for Shoji, but is still hurt over betraying Nobu.

The biggest point of the time jump is to reveal that the entire series has been a flashback. This should be obvious from the narration dialogue at the beginning and end of most episodes by Hachi or Nana. The whole series takes place in 2001, and the "time jump" parts in the final episode are in modern day. However, by that time, Nana and Hachi have well settled their feelings over their abrupt breakup, Shin has become and man among men, Hachi has become more mature (to a point), and Yasu....looks exactly the same.

The largest question is what happened to Nana. This part is left out, as her issues are only starting to be revealed in the main plotline. All we know is that she's not anywhere close to the others, ran away somewhere, and hasn't contacted anyone for a considerable time. A major part was left out of the Present Day material, but that would of course only make it that much worse of a cliffhanger.

thanks a lot.
On this my strategy is:
Downloading all of ureshii.
Filing the gap with IY-F

I have the 21st eps to get used to ureshii's subing, then I eventually switch to IYF if by that time ureshii still hasn't realsed any ep from the gap. That will depend on the time I have to watch all I have now.
If I feel no trouble with IYF, then I'll continue with their eps, to the point where ureshii restarted.

Now I'm headed to bed, thanks for the answer

I think it was pretty clear that Nana has some health issue that probably killed her singing career. I hope we get a sequel for this, but that's probably not happening since the last part of the final episode was basically a promotion for the manga...

I think you need to read the manga, or at the very least rewatch the series. Nana's problems were all mental. The hyperventilation was (as told by the doctor), her budding issues with losing Hachi, getting married with Ren, etc.

Even the manga has yet to tell us exactly when or why she left, but the Present Day part they excluded did show where she went, and what she's doing.

I think I'll pick up the manga some time in the near future. The anime ended with way more questions than answers.

The anime ends around Volume 12 or 13 of the manga.
I like the manga, because reading it's very near to the anime feel (eventhough it's probably the other way round)
