My guess is that Nana was originally a manga. Does anyone know if the story goes much beyond the movie ending? I usually prefer watching the anime or live-action versions of stories over their manga origins but often they cut the story short of their original ending, and I'd like to read more if it is available.

Yes, NANA was originally a manga, by Ai Yazawa, and I definitely recommend it if you like the anime and live action. I'm not 100% certain, but I do believe the manga is still running in Japan, so yes, it does go beyond the live-action movie's events (and there was a lot cut out for the movie, especially concerning Nana K/Hachi, though it looks like the anime is going to handle that better, since they seem to be sharing her backstory, from the titles given for the next episodes). Actually, a second live-action movie is currently being planned.
I'm eagerly awaiting seeing the second episode, thank you Live-Evil SO much for subbing this ^_^
Death Grin:
I heard a lot about the manga from friends, and was planning on reading. But it's so cool that an anime released, I always prefer anime to Manga.
Great job on subbing the first episode guys! ;D
Darner:
Absolutely awesome series, grabbing EP 2 as we speak. I started grabbing alot of the new stuff and above and beyond everything this one wont get out of my head, and the subbing job, well what else can I expect but pure awesomeness from LE, props on the subs and another great pick of a series.
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, cant say goodbye :P

I'm starting to regret my original post...after going back and trying to find some examples I realized how hard this must be for you guys and I was just being anal. I got to thinking about the difference between translation and interpretation.
Something like, when the Nanas met in the apartment, Nana-chan said,
あたしってそんなに印象薄い？
You guys had a quite literal translation "Do I really leave that weak of an impression?" which is fine, but not something most English speakers would say...something like, "Was I really that boring?" which isn't a literal translation, but an English equivalent that carries the same sentiment and sounds a bit more natural.
This is crazy tho...I mean look how much thought I've put into just one phrase and you guys have entire eps to cover. There's no way I could do what you guys do.
Thanks for all the hard work!
