Comment

Vina Nurziani (The Indonesian Anime Times)

School-themed anime? Segregated school? Superpowered students? Mysteries? What? Is it Danganronpa? No, it’s Talentless Nana. My very first impression of Talentless Nana is the cliche way to start the story. When one of the main characters is sitting at the back of the class near the window, their class has a transfer student, and the main character somehow befriends the transfer student. But from then on, I find it interesting that the premise, and the plot are set up neatly from the characters’ dialogue. Even though I expected it to have some kind of twist in the end of episode, it is still enjoyable to wonder what Nana and Nanao are up to.
