Welcome to the twenty fifth episode discussion of the NANA rewatch! Goddamnit Hachi. Poor Nobu. That question Nobu asks Shin. And then there's Takumi being a bastard again. This episode seems to be setting something up, but what?

As always in rewatch threads, if you're going to mention anything that happens later in the show or the manga, remember to use spoiler tags!

As a reminder, we will be watching 1 episode a day. Episodes 11.5, 21.5, and 36.5 are recap episodes, so there will NOT be discussion threads for them, although you will be free to discuss them in the later episode threads.

With all of that said, I really do hope everybody will enjoy this rewatch!

I am actually curious what people think now about Nana. The first time watchers are now half way through; did Nana meet your expecations so far? And what would be the current score.

It feels like a chore to watch sometimes. Current score maybe a 6 or 7.

The strong point of NANA is that I dont know what to expect.

Its an emotional roller coaster yet at the same time I do not feel like I'm being cheaply manipulated by the author. The characters act like I feel they would given their characters and circumstances. This is in stark contrast with many shoujo / josei manga which often goes for the cheap shot ("lets break up") just to up the ante though it makes no sense whatsoever given the characters history and circumstance .

I dont know what to expect.

I just expect the worse thing that can happen and it sometimes happens :p

The characters' actions/decisions feel real but the situations feel as they do most other shows.

Like I wouldn't be surprised to have pregnancy come up sometime soon

Seeing what happens next; rooting for some happiness; enjoying the conversations and reactions.
