Nanaka 6/ 17 hits a little bit too close to home for me, Nanaka reminds me alot of my own little sister. Used to play together, laugh together, I always try to be a good brother to her. Just like Nanaka now she cares too much about study and grades. She changes just like any teenage girls do. Makes me a bit sad(She probably hates me), Then again she has every right to hate me since i'am an absolute failure of a human being. Maybe Nanaka was right, I should grow up....
Nanaka 6/ 17 might not even be considered good judging by the score, It's tropey, generic, doesn't do much to change the genre it's in. But just like sister princess, You can't like or enjoy it if you're not a cynical, unloveable, dislikeable, bastard such as i.

If I got a dollar for every time someone fainted unnecessarily in this show that will still not be enough money for me to watch this show again. Decent story with elements to be something great but masked behind annoying, flat characters.

I remember a friend of mine showing me the trailer to this last year, and since I like her recommending animes to me, I decided to give this show a look. And BOY am I glad I did. This was the best anime I've seen last year. And here's why.
Story:
The show is about 2 friends. Nanaka and Nenji. Both have glaring flaws. Nanaka is a study obsessed girl which causes herself to alienate everyone around her. Giving everyone a bad view on her. Nenji is a delinquent who always gets himself into fights with others. But after a heated argument, Nanaka falls into a coma, and wakes up as her 6 year old self, trapped in her teenage body. This causes Nenji to change his ways, and to help Nanaka get through life in the state she's in. Now, while it has a familiar premise, the way it's told and the theme…

This is a very odd show. Nanaka is a complete bitch as a 17-year-old, and yet as a little kid, she is so troublesome and odd little girl. Nenji is no better, being high strong and easy to get into fights. The story is rather cute even if it’s annoying in some places. At first, I thought it would be a real magical girl show but it seems that I was so wrong. The only thing magical girl about this show is the odd pieces every once in a while when they have a Magical Domiko pieces. I get why they have that breaking the episode, but it doesn’t make it any less annoying.
So I have noticed in most animes (Also in many TV shows, movies, books, ext.), bump on the head results into amnesia and not complete and utter brain damage like real life. It seems there is no such thing as bad things that ha…

I give this anime an 82/100
I first came across this little anime after finishing watching Nobody's Boy Remi on Anime News Network. I had run out of anime to watch and felt like starting on some new ones. Thankfully, Nanaka 6/17 turned out to be a fine little anime for me to watch before school started for me.
So basically it's about two kids who grow apart upon entering high school. Nanaka's the studious girl and Nenji's the delinquent. Then, they get into an argument and Nanaka gets a brain injury which causes her to suffer from 'Backwards Aging Syndrome' as I call it. She's turned back into her 6 year old self and Nenji has to babysit her. Simple enough, right?
Yes, this is a very simple story. Nothing complicated, nothing totally bland. Just simple and easy to understand, though it…

"Hawawawa"
This will be a phrase you will hear often in this series, as Nanaka often tends to blurt it out whenever she is under any kind of pressure.
Story 7/10
This title stays tried and true to the basic "memory lost" storyline you probably have seen before, however it does have a unique aspect to it. For one, Nanaka does not suffer this through the whole storyline like you would expect, nope, in fact about half way through the series she begins to slip in and out of her two different age personifies. Which is a nice touch and helps to keep the series from becoming bland! And I do have to give kudos to the somewhat twist on the original concept that it brings to the table.The episodes don't really end on any cliffhangers, but Nanaka and the gang always seem to be doing something diff…
