Synopsis

On the last Valentine's Day before her high school entrance exams, Nana Suzuki tries to build up the courage to confess to her longtime crush. However, when her chocolates are accidentally ruined, she rushes back to her house to make more—not realizing that the microwave has been turned into a strange invention by her grandfather. Suddenly, six additional copies of Nana appear, each possessing their own extreme personality and a crystal that grants them magic powers! With her plans ruined, Nana vows to confess to her crush in her first year of high school. The only problem is that her crush is top student Yuuichi Kamichika, and following him to his elite high school will mean that she has to hit the books. With six new allies to help her, Nana begins to prepare for anything that the exam season might throw at her. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Nana Seven of Seven is an adventure/comedy title produced by Studio A.C.G.T in 2002 that tells the story of a girl named Nana, who is split into seven different versions of herself by a light prism in her grandfather's cellar. The whole plot line follows her newfound predicament and her aim to confess love to a boy she likes. That's pretty much it. I initially latched onto the series with it's gig on splitting the protagonist into her seven constituent personalities and wasn't completely clear on the idea of the split until I got a few episodes in. For the most part the series is quiteenjoyable as the original Nana tries to deal wth the craziness of having her copies thrash around her house and drive her crazy... it uses the situation she's gotten into as well to personify the internal battles she has with her own feelings over friends, family, school, and her love life as well. It should be noted also that each of the prisms that form when she gets split give the seven Nana's super powers which occasionally enter the fray as part of the plot progression... particularly as they play out the Nana Rangers (which comes across as one of the weirder aspects of the series in my opinion). The nana ranger get up plays into helping Nana keep the secret about her being split into seven people and also has a hand in the events later in the series as the climax draws near. Overall the series, while it can be pretty odd at time, does a good job at fleshing out the protagonist and it's engaging enough to not only keep you watching, but also to make you feel for at least her, as it develops her relationship with the boy she likes. If anything drives me the least bit crazy it's that the seven personalities being split off don't seem to have any effect on the original Nana beyond the fact that her other emotions are personified. Not to mention what happens at the end which I'll avoid spoiling for those who haven't seen the series. All in all it's certainly not the best series on the block it was just good enough to keep me entertained. I tend to be a sucker for the split personality/ body swap materials so I enjoyed it and would recommend at least trying it out

I do not usually write reviews, but I figured since not many people have written about this show, I would try. I am just going to write about some things that were in my head while watching this anime. Also, this anime actually has an ending! The dub is 10/10. I usually watch sub, but I am glad I gave it a chance. This anime really starts pick up after episode 16. Before epside 16 it seems like your typical anime that drags on with no progression, but after looking back it is actually fleshing out the characters and your building investment in them. Thisis something that a lot of animes skip, which causes you to not care about the plot or the characters. Having 25 episodes definitely helps. Sidenote: This is pretty random, but there is a scene that revolves around a plane, and the accuracy of the information in the anime about planes is really surprsing. I work on aircraft, so I found it pretty weird that someone on production knew so much about them. Anyways, as someone who has delt with depression I think the idea of being able to externally speak to your emotions is interesting. This anime made me think about a lot, and I was always rooting for Nana. Sometimes I would get annoyed about her never making progress, but the reason why gets revealed later in the story and her not being more forward makes sense. After finishing this anime and review I truly do miss Nana and her sisters... it was very enjoyable and I will be rewatching someday.
