I like ParaKiss mainly for its characterization of Yukari, and the slow revelation of George’s world to her eyes. And I like watching glamorous shoujo-style making out? :) Anyways.

In reality I think the manga would be most people's choice if they had to experience NANA, though. The voice acting, for me, really helped to stomach this kind of story because I'm much more interested in the acting and characterization rather than its plot (which is, I imagine, the minority position when it comes to long-running shoujo franchises). In that sense NANA was just not what I should be watching as 26 episodes of Aria the NATURAL would've done just as well of a job, in much less time. And I would've done just that if Aria wasn't such a moody piece for me during this season. NANA is a high budget anime, so I appreciated that–enough to actually watch the anime from beginning to end.

It was very consistent with storytelling and production quality I think. It might have had characters going back and forth but thats what NANA is a soap opera done right. I'm still in my withdrawal stage from episode 47..I mean its sad that nothing hit you because I found NANA as a whole very very profound and powerful. Bring on season 2 Madhouse!

I thought ParaKiss was upping the corn factor present in Gokinjo actually, what with the cheesy happy ending, "everyone gets a significant other" and all. Only so many ways to skin a cat... that must mean Nana is quite bad. Got it.
