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.
