BBK/BRNK English Sub & Dub

About BBK/BRNK

BBK/BRNK (Bubuki Buranki) blends action, sci-fi and drama by SANZIGEN (2016). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The setup: Away from home for 10 years, Azuma Kazuki had no idea what was awaiting him upon his return. He certainly did not expect to be attacked by dozens of heavily armed people and taken as their prisoner.

Another thread: Fortunately, Azuma's stay in captivity is short. Wielding an odd sentient weapon—known as "Bubuki"—upon her right arm, his childhood friend, Kogane Asabuki, rescues him. After escaping, Azuma learns that he too has the power to control Bubuki.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with SANZIGEN, which means the visual identity of BBK/BRNK follows that studio's craft. Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Its 6.3/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. It aired in 2016, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
