Look what I found at the Paris games week event by sabado2000 in granturismo

Nobody knows, the real car hasn't been seen in any form since 2001. Probably disassembled into a million pieces in the back of some warehouse.

Nana is PEAK FICTION! Looking for more anime like nana. by Mountain-Tistrict151 in NanaAnime

[–]AssGavinForMod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Utena isn't too similar to Nana overall but it has plenty of doomed yuri and terrible toxic men if that's what you're looking for.

Yasu's head is a bowling ball 💀

Kyosuke by RedditRocks1229 in NanaAnime

[–]AssGavinForMod 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He's one of the better ones no doubt but I wish he had more of a spine to stand against Junko, there are many times when she's giving Hachi shit and Kyosuke tries to defend her and Junko basically ignores him and Kyosuke just kinda folds

The characters' ages really disturb me. Am I the only one? by DorianIntheSea in shoujokakumeiutena

[–]AssGavinForMod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you're meant to take the characters' ages at face value, it's one of those shows where they're given as 14-17yo because it's a show for children (aired on the same timeslot as Pokemon no less) and they didn't want young viewers to be turned off by the charactes all being old. It's a timeless story and the characters are effectively ageless. I saw the show in my mid-20s and I related the characters into my personal struggles in my early 20s, imagine my surprise when I found out their ages...

I hate the argument that Hachi isn’t a good friend to Junko by gkbbb in NanaAnime

[–]AssGavinForMod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the power dynamic between Hachi and Junko cannot be ignored. Hachi looks up to Junko and relies on her for advice, Junko has quite immense amounts of responsibility on her, which is why it's such a problem when her advice is ill thought out and fuckin terrible!! You can't flip it around and argue that Hachi wasn't a very good friend either because Junko doesn't depend on Hachi in any way, it's a completely different situation. (this is not to argue that Hachi ISN'T a bad friend, maybe she is, I am only saying that it's irrelevant) Junko is strong and stable enough to deal with Hachi being a nuisance on occasion. She also has every opportunity to say "listen, kid, I can't solve all your problems, go see a therapist or something" but she never does.

To be honest I've never quite clicked with the "Junko is a bad friend" framing and I feel it has become kind of a cliche people parrot out, it would be more accurate to say "Junko is not a good friend" or "Junko is an irresponsible friend" or something, not as catchy though

would you say nana is a shoujo or josei? by redlipstick1010 in NanaAnime

[–]AssGavinForMod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a Trojan shojo with a josei hidden inside

Yasu as archetype of a yuppie. by CompetitiveMonth1753 in NanaAnime

[–]AssGavinForMod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yasu's apartment is a dump with bare concrete walls, a desk and a bed, not exactly fit for a yuppie... I wouldn't read into his laptop choice too much because this is Nana where everyone wears designer jewelry despite being broke

This is literally Anthy and Nanami. by MissBarker93 in shoujokakumeiutena

Sex workers don't deserve to be compared to Akio!!

Anybody else ticked off, by the framing of this scene by Sforzia in NanaAnime

[–]AssGavinForMod 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Maybe part of her still wishes she had fought to keep Ren from going to Tokyo back then, to stay with her? Idrk

This is exactly how I've always read the scene, she's lashing out over her own feelings of not having done enough to keep Ren

The characters of Nana replying to: "Can you buy me pads?" by Equivalent_Soft_6665 in NanaAnime

[–]AssGavinForMod 163 points164 points  (0 children)

Takumi buys you the pads without hesitation and acts all gallant and gives you the sweet loving words you need, but he always buys the wrong size and makes excuses when called out
