This one is a keeper! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I hesitated for a long while before purchasing this movie. I assumed that "Nana" probably was a film for adolescents, but I found it to be a film with universal appeal.

"Nana" tells of an unusual friendship between a dour punk rocker and a frilly, eternally cheerful OL. Both are 20 years old, both are named Nana, and both have moved to Tokyo from elsewhere. The rocker moved to the big city to pursue her career; the OL has come to Tokyo to pursue her boyfriend.

They first meet when they sit together on the train bound for Tokyo. They meet again when they both are interested in leasing the same apartment. They decide to move in together and the friendship begins to grow between these two young women who seem to have nothing in common.

We see them go through a series of triumphs and tribulations, watch them grow, and come to care about both of them. Both Nakashima Mika as the rocker and Miyazaki Aoi as her frilly friend are perfect for their roles. I suspect that Miss Miyazaki had the tougher challenge in making us care about someone who at first seems so superficial and silly, but she succeeds admirably and I will be eager to see her work in the future.

"Nana" is a warmly human film, a film with a real, beating heart. In showing us the dreams and disappointments of these two girls, we see something of the dreams and disappointments of all of us. This fine film is recommended very highly by your humble servant.

NANA review in English Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
The first part of the 2- part NANA movies is excellent. It follows the manga very well.
The acting was good as well. At times certain actors seemed a little stiff but overall it was excellent.

My only issue with the movie is that they really need to make it with English subtitles. My knowledge of kanji is less than sufficient & at times they talk too fast for me to pick up on what they're saying. Luckily I know the story so I was able to get the gist of what they were saying.

If they come out with one with English subtitles, you can bet I'll be the first one to pick up the copy!

Also, the extras are really neat. The photo book was really cool & ever being the "Japanophile" (NOT otaku!) I enjoyed looking at the ads that came with the DVD.

Nana Nana Nana~ <3 Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I saw NANA and I absolutely loved it. Im new to the whole NANA series, but Mika Nakashima is was what got to me to see the movie. I got NANA and thankfully it had English Subtitles, and loved the story. Very heartfelt. As soon as I finished it, I waned to buy i so I came straight to yesasia and found the Japanese Special Edition. Im a little dissapointed though because it doesnt have english subtitles! So all the awesome thngs I said to my boyfriend about the movie was wasted because he cant watch it :/

Nana is a manga and anime series, so no doubt English speakers know about it and they'll definately want to see the movie. But unless they know Japanese, it'll be hard for them to, although its not hard to follow the story without the subtitles. Its pretty straight forward~ I still hope an overseas version is made though...

ooh. Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
i've must admit i wasn't a big fan of nakashima mika, so i bought this movie with much hesitation, and anticipation because of the reviews. i must say she was real darling as NANA. the movie i found was very enjoyable especially the bond between NANA and nana. two opposites that are able to live together and be able to start a friendship, i found it hopeful. and... i loved matsuda ryuhei and NARIMIYA HIROKI! (he's soo cute and adorable)

Wonderful Movie! Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
I'm a fan of Mika Nakshima's work as a singer. She's not my absolute favorite, but she's in the top 20. I also loved her acting in this movie. I think she did better as an actress than as a singer actually. The movie is extremely well done, and was my first real introduction to the NANA series at all. My only personal complaint, is why didn't Japan release this movie with english subtitles? It's related to anime/manga so you know the english speaking society are gonna want a copy of this too. Because of what they did my boyfriend can't watch this and understand what's fully going on, since he's still learning Japanese. So, if you know enough Japanese to watch something in the language go ahead and buy it. Otherwise, go learn the language or pray that it gets released in your area soon w/ those subtitles.

Great Movie, but lacking DVD Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
I started reading the NANA manga after seeing the movie, and considering how to fit nearly four manga volumes into a two hour movie, it was great. Although I've heard complaints about the acting, I thought everyone was great, especially Mika Nakashima who was the perfect Nana. Biggest difference is that Shin is now 18 years old, instead of 15 (thus the different appearance).

Unfortunately the Special Edition DVD is lacking in extras. Although it boasts 61 minutes of extras, it really needed to be two hours. The Press Conference and First Day Stage segments all have been condensed to about three minutes each (would have liked to have seen the entire segments without bad editing) and the "Making" segment shows filming of a deleted scene that should have been included as an extra. Also, it would have been nice to have the whole "My Medicine" and "Journey" performances, instead of just one chorus.

Five stars for the movie, but three for the DVD extras.

 Unoriginal? *cough* Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
Tl, how can you say this movie is unoriginal when it is based on a manga which already is years old and is Japans best selling manga ever having already sold over 20 million copies in Japan alone? This movie is great and EVERY nana fan HAS to buy their own DVD version of it to watch whenever you want! Newcomers to nana will not be dissapointed. The only reason I am not rating it 10 out of 10 as it is a based on already exsisting storyline and is sped up to fit most of it in. It could probably be much better if it had it's own new storyline.
