helvetiusRecently finished watching the Chinese-subbed version of NANA. Some kind soul has released translations of interviews with the actors. Am still waiting for the Yasu* interview, but for now am currently going "..." over the fact that most of the actors are the same age as me. Only the dude acting as Nobu is born in 1982.
... "Hi! So you are XX years old. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE SO FAR???!"
You get my point.
Still prefer the manga version of the series to the movie's portrayal. Nana (as in Nana and not Nana-Hachikou**) appears all too serious and cool in the flick, similar to the Major in the GitS anime who was actually more... kooky in the manga. (I am going to a special place in fandom hell for calling the Major "kooky", aren't I? But she is! To me!)
The relationships in the series drive me bonkers.
*Is it my fault I find Yasu incredibly hot? It's all about the contradiction! I want to know where they got the actor from because he looks so much like Yasu in the manga (but with eyebrows rescued from the Tweezers of Doom), it's scary. (As compared to Manga!Ren and Movie!Ren or Manga!Shin and Movie!Shin.)
**I like Hachikou even if I suspect she will drive me to my grave in real life. She reminds me of an old friend... who more or less drove me near death until she moved to Toronto. It's kind of like... my uncle's dog. Dumb, likes snitching and eating chocolate even when it should know better (which more or less ends up doggy bowels explosions all over the place -_-), but too fluffy, dumb, loyal and IWUBYOU!IWUBYOU!IWUBYOU! for you to throttle it and at the end of the day, you know you'll clean up its mess even if you bitch and moan while doing it because you love it in a verytwisted weird way.
I forget you already know why she is nicknamed Hachikou.
