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.

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 fo…

I have years of anime and hundreds of series under my belt. I speak Japanese, have lived in Japan, and have watched anime from 12 until my current age (almost 40). So, let me say with as much experience as a person can have, approaching anime from the multiple different angles it can be approached from, and having tons of experience - socially as well as linguistically- this is the single worste anime I have EVER seen. I got trapped into watching it because I thought there might be some clever way all the stupidity might tie into some big reveal. Spoiler* it doesn't. I can't even express how much I hate this anime. It might be the worst piece of trash ever made. Do not waste your time!

Talentless Nana is a really enjoyable show from start to finish that's unfortunately kneecapped by overly repetitive episode structures and the story being left on an indefinite cliffhanger.
(This review is spoiler free with only minor allusions to events of the first episode throughout)
Let's start with the good first!
Talentless Nana has an incredibly compelling premise, as revealed in episode 1. I can't speak to the details without spoiling things, but rest assured that the gears get turning very quickly and keep you hooked. The plot is rather breakneck in speed by most single season anime standards, and it's honestly a nice refresher from the all-too-common slogs.
The show also quite easily delivers on its promise of suspense. The stakes continually seem to rise and only sometimes…

MHA meets Death Note with a dash of "The Boys".
A supernatural psychological detective thriller which takes a bit of a dive into morality and what it would mean for people to have superpowers.
Animation / Art / General Visuals - 8/10
-----------------------------------------------
It looks quite nice. There's isn't particularly much animating as a lot of the show is carried by dialogue rather than action. But the overall aesthetic is nice and clean and fits the theme. The scenery looks good. Sound / Music / Voice Acting - 8/10
------------------------------------------
I'd say pretty good quality across the board.
Story - 7/10
-------------
There are people with superpowers in the world, and there also so called "enemies of humanity". A group of teenagers with superpowers are sen…

Everything about this anime is just plain dumb. It's not a thriller like among us because you already know who the killer is. You can deduce the killer from the title itself but the show is so dumb it just straight up tells you in the very first episode who the killer is. I watched the show thinking there's going to be some grand reveal in the end: but there's nothing. There's no suspense as you're told everything as you go: there's nothing hidden from the viewer. I don't understand how people can recommend this? It was such a waste of time. This anime is not a thriller, it's like watching a documentary.

Talentless Nana is an ugly show about a class of braindead kids with superpowers; one by one, they get murdered by the titular psychopath. It's a reverse murder mystery, meaning you have to figure out how Nana will plan a murder without being caught—rather than identifying the killer.
The premise is interesting, but the execution is disappointing. Nana's plans to murder each student rely on their stupidity to succeed. Unfortunately, the show also lacks the gore or humor to be mindless entertainment—and it's too dull to be worth watching. You barely get to see anything of the killings, except for a few dead bodies. Lame. At first, I didn't like it because of the abundance of plot conveniences. Around the middle, I became used to it and enjoyed seeing dumb people get killed. By the end, I w…

If you're in the mood to be aggravated and annoyed then this show is a perfect pick for you. This show is so frustrating and a pain to watch. All the characters are absolutely brain dead and stupid. It is so obvious that this girl is murdering them and even when some of them live the traps she set for them they still can't figure out its her. And the show likes to do this thing where they end the episode in a situation where it seems like there's no way for her to get out of this and she will be caught. But then the next episode she bullshits her way out because all characters are idiots. The person who's supposed to be the smartest character can't even put together the obvious points that she's the killer and the one time he did all the other characters didn't even believe him. This show…

Munou na Nana tells the story of Nana Hiiragi, a murderer disguised as a student at a school where students have peculiar skills, and where she has a mission to kill one by one of the students.
I find it very interesting how some information from the first episode does not seem to have a very important or important value in a way, the anime just started, and it subverts the meaning of this information during the anime. In the first episode, the anime appears to be the same generic school work as always. The character design, the initial “protagonist”, the way they express themselves, the scenarios etc. We are guided in this logic of a more common and less innovative anime until the end of the episode when the anime reverses this logic. The character of Nana Hiiragi kills the first of her…

Probably the most disgusting thing I've ever watched. Such a waste of time. This anime had a lot of potentials, yet it failed again and again. The cliffhangers were never satisfying, the story is a jumbling nest of bullshit. Nothing sticks together, it felt like the writers were immediately regretting when they made a decision because OH GOD the story and the environment never progressed beyond the first three episodes. The characters were extremely stereotypical and annoying. The music was nothing special. The art didn't draw me in. For every one step this anime made, it made 20 steps backward. Just watch something better, please.

Wow.. this show. I was so hooked up just after watching the first episode.
//Please note that you really should watch at least the first episode before asking someone about this show. Everything is spoiler before you watch it.//
In my opinion, I really like this anime heck maybe this is the best anime of this season. Everything from the first episode was so interesting. Ahhh it's a shame that I can't write anything more specific.
But let's do the digging //BEAWARE MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD
Story:
You will be hooked up from the first moments of this show. The main character that seems gloomy about his ability. The mysterious girl with a mind-reading ability and the enemy of humanity.

Art:
I really like this style of animation and character design. The fight scenes an…

Ah, you know - if you want your show to bank on such compelling elements such as crime-solving and cat-and-mouse clashes of two genius characters then, how about proving to the viewer, at least within the context of the story itself, that these characters are intellectual heavyweights? Because they're not.
Just with a brief revision of the entire story people with the most basic mental faculties intact can surmise that both "geniuses" are actually colossal idiots. Now that might come off as offensive to people who suspended their disbelief in favor of having another "awesome show" to brag about but no, I won't even accept people who would dare call it a "guilty pleasure". This story has plot chasms, not holes.
Just to prove my case, this passage will contain some spoilers: why kill Nan…

[NO SPOILERS]
Review translated by Google translator, I am not responsible for grammatical errors.
The anime of the beginning already implies that they would mix something comical, with something serious, several and several animes already tried to do that and failed miserably. Munou Na Nana is an exception.
I will start by saying about the conscience of history, first I must say that this anime simply has its weaknesses, for example few talented people have a cognitive ability to understand what is in front of them, just some characters who manage to do the basics.
The story itself develops over Hiragi Nana, the anime develops its story, and her emotional changes.
Over the course of the anime we see that, the anime is correct in passing the viewer the emotion that the anime develops over…

PLS READ IF WILLING TO WATCH THIS OR JUST TO CONSIDER MY RREVIEW!✓✓✓
This anime truly is jarring. It not only exceeded my expectations,
but made me thoroughly impressed. Starting with EP 1, I surmised from entering and finishing EP 1, that it would be some sort of story, where the strong wited kills the weak minded. However, this evaluation was proven erroneous slightly. After EP 1 and 2, the atmosphere changed rapidly, where emotions such as doubt roamed the area and I experienced some death note vibes. This is due to two highly intellectual minds clashing against each other and this is the foundation of satisfaction I gained from this anime. I simply loved the deduction process where Kyouya would try to piece together evidence and information he gained to disclose the guilty killers. E…

By now you’ve probably heard Munou na Nana described as the “among us” anime. While this doesn’t completely sum up the series, it’s a pretty good introduction to the world.
I’ll preface by saying Munou na Nana is one of the only manga I actively enjoy reading these days. So when I found out that it was getting an anime adaptation I had pretty high expectations for the series. I believe those expectations were met and came away with this in my top four shows of the season.
What makes this series so special for me is that Nana is a morally grey character. A lot of times we tend to see the world as right and wrong, black and white, etc., when in reality it’s usually grey. Everyone is evil from someone’s point of view, and this anime and manga really test your ability to accept other perspe…

short review:- WHY DO PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTAND THAT THE MAIN POINT OF WATCHING ANIME IS TO BE ENTERTAINED AND NOT BE A NITPICKY KEYBOARD WARRIOR.
since this is a show which i have conflicting feelings about i will just ditch the review format and write my thought on it . the point of all anime is to leave you wanting for more after each episode reimburse its production cost by making as many as possible watch it till the end (secondary objective) and promote the manga (main objective). munou no nana does it perfectly the cases are intriguing and the back and forth between the wannabe light yagami and wannabe L is intelligent and through without any faults. i get why most people think this is dumb since the killer is obviously you know who since the killings started right after this person s…

[ There are going to be some massive spoilers in this review as it’s impossible to criticize this show without giving away massive plot points]
Talentless Nana is a wasted potential if I ever saw one. It builds up everything in its favour in the first episode, only to discard it in the subsequent ones. Although the concept works, the execution and the characters, especially the characters, don’t.
The show is a murder mystery, but not for us. We already know “whodunnit” in the first episode, but the characters don’t. It’s set in a world where some children manifest superhuman abilities, and are sent to a remote island to train their powers to perfection in order to defeat the ‘Enemies of Humanity’; but little they know, they are the very force they’re training to fight against.
Yes, tha…

There are a lot of negative reviews for Talentless Nana out there, but I urge you not to take them to heart and to try it out for yourself. If you don't like it, you don't like it, but if it does click for you, you'll love it like I did and want to jump right into the source material.
People may call Talentless Nana a blend of My Hero Academia, Death Note, Promised Neverland and Among Us, but in reality it's its own unique story that differentiates itself from the others. Yes, its setting is a school for kids with super powers, yes it involves a showdown of 2 intellectuals as one of its sub-plots and yes there is a deeper truth hidden below the surface, but this season was really just a prologue. It was a wildly entertaining prologue but still just a prologue. I expect the story to differ…

"Death Note + My Hero Academia = Anything except Munou na Nana"
When we see an anime, we expect it to fulfill the main role: that of being functional and fulfilling its initial proposal. And for this to be done, the anime must be competent, both in offering something that brings interest to the public, and in not deceiving it in the future, creating a story that totally breaks with what the show created from the beginning. Munou na Nana is another one of the countless examples of anime that gets lost in the middle of the road, because it stumbled on so many flaws, that currently I can't even define what this season really was.
First of all, it is extremely important to say that Munou na Nana MUST NOT be defined as "A combo of Death Note and My Hero Academia", as that would be an extreme…

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.” ― Albert Einstein / a.k.a I don't quite understand the hate for this show. Why? Because you're plain stupid/dumb to understand, that's mean.
What defines humanity as a whole? It's the age-old argument of stupidity. From psychology to physiology, all humans are ironically wired to have a level of stupidity, whether by a congenital lack of capacity for reasoning or temporary slow-mindedness. Don't attempt to go and defend yourself by remitting the "ignorance is bliss" adage, because while it doesn't equal stupidity, "'tis folly to be wise." Don't get me wrong, the paradigm of "We're All Stupid" applies to everyone, regardless of your ability of perceive conceptualized notions. But rather than s…
