Just out of curiosity, how often are the episodes released in Japan? Like, once a week, or is it like Initial D -- 2 every other month?

Just wondering, cuz I don't want to be left hanging on just the first episode and wait forever for the next one.

Thanks

By the way, I just watched the NANA movie this morning, it was awesome!! Props to LE

Hehe, thanks.

NANA is aired once a week.

So I don't think it'll be a two month wait between eps... ^^;

I watched both the live-action movie and the first episode of the anime today.  I really liked the movie.  It was well acted, had a really good story, and the music didn't suck at all.  I was really impressed.  I'm sure I will watch it many times again in the future.  Just as a side note I thought I recognized the Nobu actor from somewhere else but can't place him.  Anyone know any other movies/showes he was in? 
 
After having watched the movie I downloaded the anime episode and watched it.  It was pretty good.  It played out almost exactly like the start of the movie but had a bit more information in it that the movie only hinted at (obviously due to time constraints, but nothing important was missed).  I have to say that I really like the characters that the actors in the live-action portrayed and I think it will take me a while before I can stop comparing the differences between them.  I hope the anime can do as good a job telling the story as the movie without unneeded filler, and hopefully it carries the story past the end of the movie.
 
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.  Thanks Live-Evil for subbing the movie that I probably would have never seen otherwise and for the anime series that I look forward to watching.  :)

I was hoping someone would pick up this anime!!! I just watched the first episode and I love it! Looks like a shoujo comedy/drama spring for me.

Great job overall on the episode. I really liked the ending karaoke effects too! Its a really nice addition to your all's roster. Thanks again!

That would be Narimiya Hiroki.  http://jdorama.com/artiste.1562.htm


Before I actually download the movie, how much of the anime does it spoil?  I don't mind small details, etc. but if there are going to be major plot points revealed I think I'd prefer to wait for the anime and then grab the movie afterwards.  Thanks!  ^_^

i do question the point of the need in fansubbing the NANA live action movie, though.  there is an english subbed DVD coming out in Hong Kong this month. (or maybe it is already out.)  but anyhow, thanks for translating it.  now i need to download it again.  lol!

Thanks for the link Lady_Bell, that site has all kinds of good info.  :)

I'm pretty sure that the movie will spoil a good chunk of the anime.  My guess would be at least the first 13 episodes will follow the movie almost exactly so there are sure to be spoiled plot points.

whoa is all that i have to say.

this is probably the first sub i have got from you guys, well at least i think it is.

anyway, rock on and peace out.
btw the opening and ending songs are real good (imho).. now if only someone could tell me where to get them.. ;D

Fantastic stuff!  I've been reading the latest batch of Nana comics (my girlfriend got me into it) and the anime does a fantastic job of realizing the written work. 

The subs are great as well.  They're not too long or difficult to read, and never leave anything out.  There are times, however, when some English phrases are a bit out of character...I mean there are times when Nana-chan sounds more like a textbook than the 20-year-old-but-still-schoolgirl-at-heart little girl she is.  Sometimes the flavor of the Japanese and the English just don't match.  I'm definitely not criticizing, I've never done any subbing work like this so I can hardly begin to appreciate the time and effort that goes into a project like this.  A 20 minute ep like this must take hours to translate and sub, and then to try and get the nuances and shades of language just right must require mammoth amounts of energy.  Full props to tofusensei for doing a fantastic job. 

Can't wait for ep 2!

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 ^_^

Great job on subbing the first episode guys!  ;D

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!

As fresh member, first of all a warm "Hi there!" to everybody and a great big "Thanks!" to L-E for subbing the NANA Anime *and* Movie!

I'm fan of the Manga every since it started being being released here in Germany about a half a year ago, we're at volume 7 now - I've read they past volume 15 in Japan by now, and no end is in sight - Ai Yazawa's longest series, so far. Anyway, I may be able to provide some details on the differences between manga<->movie<->anime - feel free to ask me about the manga as much as you want ^_^

So far I can tell you the movie covers volumes 1 to 4.5 so the manga story goes far beyond the ending of the movie. 4.5, you may wonder? Well the movie ends right in the middle of the volume - that scene is simply continued in the manga, without any fade or cut xD.

So far, I love the anime-adaption - I'm surprised how close they're adapting the style and scenes as they come in the manga - the partial lack of animation is acceptable, in my eyes - to add more animation, they would have to probably simplify the character-design more, taking away the special flair of Ai Yazawa style.
After seeing Paradise Kiss, another anime to an Ai Yazawa manga, I'm really satisfied with NANA - in ParaKiss they often placed close-ups on more-or-less random objects during conversations to avoid animating *anything* ::laughs::

Oh yeah, and Ep2 was a big surprise - I didn't think they'd roll up Hachi's (Nana K. ) past as detailed as in the manga. By the way, Ep2 was the content of the first chapters of NANA ^^ This is how everything starts in the manga. If they keep on like this, we'll see NANA O.'s past next up.

To L-E - I hope you're prepared for a long series XD Seeing the pace of the anime, this adaption is taking it's time and hardly skips any content of the manga (which is wonderful to see, for a fan like me xD) - Right now it's 2-3 episodes per volume, I'd estimate ^^

-Tofu

Haha, don't. ^^ I actually think the line suits the character well. NANA is a rather mature shoujo-anime and even Hachiko with all her cuteness is someone capable of elaborate language plus it also underlines the "alternative" character of the story, one could say.

Definately - I became hooked to manga during a time, when I was really low on "manga-reading-motivation"  - NANA relighted a fire back then, it's quite an experience and it's hard to keep that level of grace and style in an anime, but I'm pretty satisfied with MADHOUSE's work so far so I'm eagerly waiting for the next episode like crazy!

Lucky Gokinjo Monogatari (early Ai Yazawa series) is being subbed too now, that helps enduring the wait. Check animesuki on that one, if you're interested.

I'd like to see some more discussion here, any more comments on the episodes so far?

I've encoded Tofusensei subbed version into a high quality DVD, with the 5.1 sound, music videos, and random menus.  I did not ask permission before i posted the torrent though.  I apologize and hope that perhaps he will give me retroactive approval.  If this does in fact happen and [Live-Evil] smiles on me perhaps they could even add the file here.  If not it is available here: http://www.mininova.org/tor/288002

Thanks for amazing Nana TV subs.

About opening/ending.
Are you sure that in opening song English words are "Nobody kissing me..."?
Other fansubbers have heard "Nobody can save me..."

I've making Nana TV translation to other language using as a source various subs from 3 groups (and my bad knowledge of Japanese, too). Live-eviL fansub is a main source . Could I ask you some questions in future?
Title: Re: NANA Anime & Live-Action
Post by: Tokuwa on April 22, 2006, 08:24:47 pm
The blurry Engrish-English definately seems troublesome for all fansubbers - the differences between the subs for NANA's Opening are vast.
Some of the seemingly Japanese lines were even understood as English by another team - and it sounds possible to me, that it's right - though lines like "My tear can ashame your soul" sure are strange.

Well, that's the minor downside of fansubs - it's usually all based on hearing, not on actual scripts - And "Rose" is hearable in many ways, so far ::laughs::
When it comes to muttered words or English like this, it's hit or miss - and sadly, not always does the English make sense, which confuses even more. So my deep respect goes out to brave ones as Tofusensei, that try their best to catch the lyrics.

But now I'm curious too - how sure are you, Tofusensei? Will you rethink some of the words?
Title: Re: NANA Anime & Live-Action
Post by: Tofusensei on April 22, 2006, 10:33:58 pm
Look.

Our lyrics are wrong.

So is every other group's.

We will fix them when the official lyrics come out. It's all a big guessing game. If you guys didn't enjoy karaoke so much I wouldn't even sub the songs knowing the lyrics are wrong, but that's a concession I am willing to make. So yes, our lyrics are wrong, and no, we will not change them until we have real lyrics to look at.

Since no one knows which is which, there's no reason to even argue over who's is right. Now the Japanese lyrics are a different story...

Sorry if I upset you there, Tofusensei. I didn't plan on argueing who's sub is right and I knew that none of the subs can be perfect, as long as the official lyrics are available. I was more interested in "how close" you felt during that big guessing game - but now I realize that it's indeed quite an absurd thing to ask and you've stated well how you feel about subbing without knowing lyrics - I was kinda ashamed, knowing I'm one of those karaoke-fans that encourage this, indirectly. So thanks for doing it, even if it's wrong.
And personally, I feel that guess fits pretty well, btw. Especially the "Nobody kissing me" - So I'm putting my bets on tha... ::feels evil glowing Tofu glare:: eh.. I... ok, no bets.. ahahaha ::runs off::

Post by: Tofusensei on April 25, 2006, 01:22:06 am
hehe ^^;

Sorry, it wasn't you personally... I think it was pent up frustrations from when we released Initial D without subbing the songs at first and being accused of being lazy! Little did they know they we had no less than 6 great translators bending over backwards trying to figure it out before giving up... We put way more effort into attempting to translate the songs than another group who subbed it and guessed on the lyrics (and fell flat on their face, though it was an impossible task, not even Japanese people can understand them)... Only to be accused of being the lazy ones...

That's why I don't like to even pretend that our lyrics are correct, hehe. We'll see how close we are when the official lyrics come out :D

But I appreciate the support ^^;

::giggles:: Definately not me, actually xD The manga is far more graphic at that spot, there you have this pretty clear and lively image of Nana moaning against Ren, tub water splashing up and her breasts are clearly visable (with hardened nipples XD ) - it's simply less of a closeup than here. Probably the most raunchiest Manga scene I ever saw in a Shoujo-Manga - the anime does a fine job at keeping the feel though and adapts the , even if less explicit, especially the guitar BGM regains some of the "lewdness" of the original scene in a subtle way.

*Start of I'm new section*
Hi.  I'm new.
*End of I'm new section*

I just want to say, that the production on this anime is phenomenal(sp?)!!!!!   Wow. T-T    The reason I say production is because it takes a lot of elements working together correctly to make a movie/anime/show capture its viewers hearts and minds and get them attached.  I'm not saying addicting or just to like the show but on a different level be connected to the show.  Nana has done this incredibly. 

While I was living in Japan, I remember seeing advertisments all over for the manga, and they even decorated the yamanote line trains for quite some time too.   This made me think that it was some mass advertising and that it would be like the other mass advertised mangas, so I didn't read it.  But when I watched the anime, wow, thats all i got to say.  I may be the only person here to think it, but there is somethin special about this show...  And its damn good production imo.

Alkora

EDIT:

For those that want to find the opening and ending song, the opening is "Rose" By tsuchiya anna and the close is "a little pain" by Olivia.  These are not liscensed in america and can easily be found after a google search for jpop tracker.

Tofu -  You are the coolest! and so is NANA.  I really really appreciate the hard work, I can't even imagine.  I loved this show from the opening song and you guys have done a fantastic job. I have already found goodies on Ebay for this show...yay me...

My absolute favorite scene so far was in Episode 4 when Nana kissed that girl that gave her the birthday present. That moment was just perfect. 

Oops  :-[ Sorry for rambling but this has to be the best show out this season...just imho.

Except that the singles don't release until the end of June, so anything you find is a rip from the TV show.

Check CDJapan/Amazon/AMV/Whatever for release dates. The first press comes with stickers and there's a optional DVD version, which I presume will come with the CMs.

EDIT: Also, just wanted to thank L-E for subbing this series. I honestly didnt even know it was based off a manga. I had heard of the movie, but I didn't become interested in the series until I found out Olivia was doing the ending theme. :)

Haha same with me.  I was listening to Lost Lolli at work and looked her up on Wikipedia.  I saw she was doing the theme.  I went to Youtube and looked up the ending.  I instantly felll in love with the series over the "flower", "yellow", "green", etc. graphics accompanied by Olivia.

Thanks to everyone at Live-evil for bringing us this great series.

So, it's nice to see the backstory out of the way.  I must admit, while I do appreciate having both stories there (especially Nana K's, she usually gets a bit shafted, or at least she did in the movie), I found the sudden transition to Nana O's story, mid-episode, to be rather clumsy.  I would have prefered them getting both backstories down to two episodes and had a clear transition between them.

Of course, it is interesting now, watching an anime when I know pretty much exactly what is going to happen next.  This is the first time I've followed a new release of an anime based off a manga I've read.

As for ruining the ending, I am a bit concerned with that too, since the manga is not finished, but I'm hoping that it's so far ahead of the anime that perhaps it will have been completed by the time the anime catches up to it (I have no idea if there is a planned ending soon though for the manga).

I've read all of the NANA manga religiously and I love the anime. To be honest, I didn't like how rushed the movie was, and when it comes to anime I like it to be slower paced. A good majority of the anime that I like is based off manga, and it's a little strange at first watching a series like this. It's hard to know whether you want it to just move on and get to your favorite parts or whether you want it to be loyal to the manga scene by scene.

That said, I agree in hoping that the manga is far enough ahead... anyone who watches Naruto sees what happens when the anime catches up, and somehow I can't see NANA with over a season of filler episodes. That would make me want to cry. Not to mention that filler has killed many series, Kenshin for example. If it does happen I almost hope they'll take the FMA route and completely split away from the manga in a new plotline.

I'm excited to see what is to come for the anime, and I adore the music. Anna is one of my favorite artists and I was so excited when I heard the opening theme!

Thanks for subbing it! New NANA episodes make my week!

Exactly!  Have u noticed that even if a manga is just filled with unimportant details, it doesn't really matter and u enjoy it nevertheless.  But with the anime, u always want it to move to the important parts right away...yet when it does rush, u feel as if it wasn't such a good episode and things would have been better if it was slower...yet get pissed off when the series is filled with fillers.  I mean I always enjoy Tsubasa episodes...but sometimes when they end up going to a country (WORLD!) where they find no feather...it's kinda frustrating...although the way they end it always leaves u with a feeling of sense of contentment...(did I get that right?)

True. I see Naruto is a little different than most action series'... it's about 50% filler, 25% character developement (which most people consider filler), and the rest is all dattebayo. It does a far better job with character developement than any other shounen series I've seen. The manga is beautiful. The anime mutilates it half of the time.

Though, I understand where you guys are coming from. Compared to a series like NANA or any more shoujo type series where plot is almost srictly based on character interaction most action series fall short. Especially since there is a severe lack of human interaction without bleeding and anger.

Yes, however, if you are in the US in many states they are illegal since it qualifies as a weapon under the 'anti-terrorist crime bill', passed originally in '99 and 'revised' numerous times post 9/11.  This law imposes tough penalties (mandatory jail time, etc.) on anyone who buys, sells, technically even 'posession' of said items.  So they're pretty rare in the US, Canada might have the same law, I'm not sure about Europe.

Hmm, I've been doing a little bit more research on this subject since I asked that, and I'm curious as to where you found out that they are illegal in many states?  I haven't seen anything on the net yet at all to suggest that they can't be distributed here, indeed I have since found a few sites that offer similar items for sale and none of them mentioned any shipping restrictions.  I'll check again though.

Yep, they exist. They're generally called "finger armor", and i've never once heard about them being illegal. A quick Google search confirms such, as well as the fact that many online stores (you know, little places like AMAZON.COM -[http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00023JSE4/]-) sell them.

I'm positive they aren't illegal in Canada seeing as this artist: http://www.springtimecreations.com/scary.html got them across the border last year for Westercon. And seeing as how some merchandise that was considerably more innocuous had difficulty getting across...

The original anti-terror crime bill was passed in 1999 and outlawed possession nunchaku, brass knuckles, certain types of knives and blades (most types of blades with a dual edge) and other martial-arts type weapons on one's person in public places.  Originally only California and a few other states had passed the bill.  However after 9/11 may definitions were 'revised', the definition of 'brass knuckle' was expanded to include a variety of different objects that could be placed over the hands to increase the likelihood of causing severe damage with a punch (rings were excluded as long as the depth was within what was considered 'far beyond normal' at the time); and more states started to adapt the law and actually take it seriously.  Today in the US it is, in most cases, legal to own a handgun but illegal to own a switchblade or nunchaku; guns might seem more dangerous to the rest-of-world but the reality is here the gun lobby is very strong (NRA) while there really is no martial-arts lobby or the like.
Title: Re: NANA Anime & Live-Action
Post by: Beckett on June 01, 2006, 01:12:26 am
Nevermind the fact that such laws are inherently stupid, because criminals and terrorists don't give a damn about the law to begin with and will obtain, through illicit means, whatever weapons they want.

Anyway, it would seem by that info that these rings are exempt from the law as long as they aren't grossly over the top with like knife blades coming out of the end of them, which basically jives with what I've seen so far in my own research.
Title: Re: NANA Anime & Live-Action
Post by: Sindobook on June 01, 2006, 01:39:34 am
Brass knuckles don't need knife blades, most don't even have a sharp edge.
There are many different varieties, including a 'split' type which consists of individual rings.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brass_knuckles
I'm not very fond of them personally, I much prefer a weighted chain or beads which can be worn around one's neck.

No one ever said laws were meant to be intelligent or 'make sense', laws are passed b'cos of politics rather than safety or common sense.  Downloading fansubs is technically illegal too, though I haven't heard of anyone getting arrested for that.

Not sure how all of this is relevant. Can you cite a source that says that "finger armor" specifically is against any law anywhere? I run in cirlces where people commonly wear this type of jewelry, and they would have raised a huge stink if this was true.
Title: Re: NANA Anime & Live-Action
Post by: Sindobook on June 01, 2006, 07:30:07 am
Just do a quick search, here are some examples.  I know if you look at the amended AB1237 that is crossed out, but the definition still fits the one used and the same definition can be found in multiple bills.

From AB1237   "(7) As used in this section, "metal knuckles" means any device or instrument made wholly or partially of metal which is worn for
purposes of offense or defense in or on the hand and which either
protects the wearer's hand while striking a blow or increases the
force of impact from the blow or injury to the individual receiving
the blow. The metal contained in the device may help support the hand
or fist, provide a shield to protect it, or consist of projections
or studs which would contact the individual receiving a blow."

Many bills use this type of language, refering to "metal knuckles" as a "deadly weapon" and imposing minimum penalties for possession, etc.

From SB194 "For purposes of this subdivision, "deadly weapon" is defined to include any instrument or weapon of the kind commonly known as a blackjack, slungshot, billy, sandclub, sandbag, metal knuckles, any dirk, dagger, pistol, revolver, or any other firearm, any knife having a blade longer than five inches, any razor with an unguarded blade and any metal pipe or bar used or intended to be used as a club."

If you go to the site for your state, many states have a search engine where you can search all bills, just do a search for "metal knuckles" to see what the laws in your state are.  For example:

(720 ILCS 5/24-1) Sec. 24-1. Unlawful Use of Weapons.

    (a) A person commits the offense of unlawful use of weapons when he knowingly:

        (1) Sells, manufactures, purchases, possesses or carries any bludgeon,black-jack,slung-shot,sand-club, sand-bag, metal knuckles, throwing star, or any knife, commonly referred to as a switchblade knife, which has a blade that opens automatically by hand pressure applied to a button, spring or other device in the handle of the knife, or a ballistic knife, which is a device that propels a knifelike blade as a projectile by means of a coil spring, elastic material or compressed gas; or...

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.

I quite agree with you on this one. The worst part is, is that once  you see the literal translation it is frequently very difficult to figure out how a native English speaker would have said it. I've worked on episodes that were translated by native Japanese speakers. You know the English sounds weird at times but you can't quite figure out how it ought to be worded. Eventually, however, you get better at it.

Maybe Tofu's learned too much Japanese, if he doesn't think your wording sounds more natural. I much prefer your wording.

BTW, Live-evil's QC team is always interested in acquiring new, competent people. Why not enquire about joining? I find it's a lot of fun. Among other reasons, I frequently find that the stuff I QC is stuff I really enjoy, but is not stuff I would pick out on my own.

The ring, if anyone is still interested, is available online at ebay, some english sites, and some japanese sites.  It is called an armour ring and is designed by Vivienne Westwood, an English woman who designed the "punk fashion" clothes that the sex pistols were known for wearing and was married to their manager.(you guys probably know this and are groaning in boredom, sorry)  It is pricy, unless you get a copy.  Also, I doubt any of the sites sell Nana's exact ring, since Hachi notes that it is an original, made before Vivienne was all the rage.  I don't know if Vivienne's styles are really popular in Japan, but if Hachi is representative of youth culture, apparently westwood, the sex pistols, and sid and Nancy are common knowledge.  Here is one site I found that's in English: http://www.hervia.com/shopload.html
As for the ring's legality, firstly if it is illegal and you buy it, I doubt anyone is going to care, but I think the ring that the law seemed to be describing is a Knuckle Duster, which Vivienne Westwood also designs, but Nana's is an Armour ring, which I don't think would be classified the same way.  If you wanted to, you could say that law deems any ring a hazard.

I'd just like to say even though episodes 6-8 haven't been subbed by you guys, I really enjoy your subs. I tried watching those episodes from other groups, and there are so many errors in the opening and ending, and little Japanese sayings they translate weird, it just made it hard to watch. Let's just say I'll wait patiently for things to get moving again, if they do.

Thanks, very sweet of you.  Although I've got nothing to do with NANA subs, it made me feel good.

Tofusensei get back here or this thread will get scarier than our Tsubasa thread has ever been.

Oh, I dunno about that . . . Tsubasa got *pretty* scary there for a while . . .

~Wenchfaery, also patiently waiting for NANA . . . .

If you have a nice bandwidth you're welcome to be patient and wait for our release of NANA.  I mean, another goup is already doing it so you can just watch that and when we release ours, download that as well for the collection. 

And the Tsubasa thread had lost lost the scary sense it previously had so I just had to bring it back.

Fandom is a passion my friend.  ;D

Enh, I'm willing to wait for the L-E release. It's so shiny. I'm not as caught up in NANA's story as I am with Tsubasa, so I'm much more patient. :D

We should start threatening sacrifices over in the Tsubasa thread.

I'm with you on the fandom passion. :D

I don't even want to remember that we haven't released NANA for 3 weeks now.   ::)

As for threats, hmmm, I am locked in the bondage of L-E membership...all I can do is shout and swear about the release, nothing else.  You can do whatever you think is suitable for the Tsubasa thread, things really need heating up lol.  Hmmm, what else can WE do?  ???  ???  ???

This has been bothering me for a while, but is it just me, or does anyone else think the singing voice of the voice actress that plays Osaki sounds just like the lead singer of Kidney Thieves?  For those who haven't heard this band, give a listen at http://www.kidneythieves.com/music.html?bg=m and tell me what you think, I swear they sound almost identical to me.
