Talentless Nana | Quick Review
When it comes to a superhero school setting, one would expect a superhero adventure story. But what if it got turned into a psychological thriller instead?
Type: Series
Released: 2020
Genre: Psychological Thriller, Suspense
Studio: Bridge
Synopsis
The world is threatened by dangerous entities known as the Enemies of Humanity. To fight back, students with special abilities called the Talented are sent to train on an isolated island. But one day, a seemingly talentless student enrolls in the same special school.
It provides a somewhat unique twist to the common premise of a superhero academy. Despite its art style, the series is a psychological thriller and is more of a suspenseful story than an action-packed superhero adventure.

Imagine a crossover between Death Note and My Hero Academia. That is what this show feels like. And even that description is already spoiler-y.
The animation is decent, with the art style being soft and vibrant to hide its darker plotline from the audience.
The fight scenes are mild, even for a series involving superpowers, since they are not the focus of the show. Still, the animation quality remains consistent, which I appreciate.
Also, I love how the protagonist was introduced through a well-executed twist in the first episode. If that’s not enough to hook you to this anime, then follow the 3-episode rule because that’s where it gets better.
As for the cast, most of them are generic like the fiery bully and the handsome, cool guy of the class.
This anime is a good blend of superhero academia and psychological thriller. If you find that contrasting combination interesting, then this one is worth checking out.
Score: 2/5 ⭐ | Decent
See you on the next one~
