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).

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 ^_^
