Munou na Nana

Fifty years ago, horrific creatures dubbed as the "enemies of humanity" suddenly appeared around the world. To combat these threats, teenagers gifted with supernatural abilities called "Talents"—such as pyrokinesis and time travel—hone their powers at an academy on a secluded island.

Nanao Nakajima, however, is quite different from the others on the island: he has no Talent. With many "Talented" teenagers around him, Nanao is often a target for bullying, but even so, he still strives to complete his training. Soon after, two transfer students, the mysterious Kyouya Onodera and the mind-reading Nana Hiiragi, join the class. But just as everyone starts blending as comrades-in-arms, mysterious disappearances begin to threaten the class's entire foundation.

This review is only a spoiler if you are going in blind.

Lemme say, this anime is not the best thing ever but it's different in the best way.
This anime grabs all of the clichés of a garbage anime then turns into Death Note on a whim which is really funny conceptually.
I love how every character has this heightened stupidity because they live up to their cliché magic plain ass personality archetypes. The story telling feels pretty stupid tho, as if the author is making things up as they go per-episode, and lemme tell you: if you read the manga it really shows.

I want to see ... more, but we've been sitting on Nana Season 1 for a few years now and I don't got many hopes for the anime in the future.

Mixed Feelings

Talentless Nana got me interested in the first episode, but the combination of iffy plot points and cartoony characters kept me from truly enjoying it.

I'll try to keep this as vague and spoilerless as possible. During this show there's a lot of deduction going on, and so much of it relies on ignoring basic things, and a lot of convenience. It didn't bother me too much, but it made me not take a lot of it seriously.

The characters were my main issue. A lot of them just act like caricatures/stereotypes without having much depth. It makes me not care about them, which is maybe the ... point.

Toward the end of the show, I was starting to get more interested, but then it ended abruptly. It seems like it won'e get another season, so this is an unfinished show. If it interests you, and you're willing to continue with the manga I could recommend it, but other wise I'd say pass.

Not Recommended

The first 8 to even 10 episodes feel like the story was being written on the spot while the anime was being made. It's illogical and painful to watch. Characters behave like NPCs—if they’re not currently on screen, it’s as if they just stop existing or do nothing useful off-camera. Only the last few episodes start to make some sense and actually begin to develop the story, but waiting that long for things to get moving? Yikes.

Honestly, after the first episode, you could skip the next 5 or 6 and not miss anything important—you’d save time and frustration. The art style is mediocre at best, ... and that’s really all there is to say about it.

I can’t recommend this anime. The ending sets up a second season that most likely will never happen, and the story is boring, shallow, and meaningless for the majority of the runtime—not to mention the illogical and dumb writing. Overall, a total waste of time.
