NANBAKA English Sub & Dub

About NANBAKA

Here is what NANBAKA (ナンバカ) is about, retold in plain terms: an action, comedy and drama anime by Satelight (2016). The premise: Four men are assigned to the prison: Juugo, a man who attempted to break out of prison and ended up extending his jail time; Uno, a man who likes to gamble with women; Rokku, a man who likes to get into fights; and Nico.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Rock (Airu Shiozaki) and Nico (Daiki Kobayashi) are two of the characters you will meet early.

It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 13 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Satelight is the studio behind NANBAKA, and its direction shapes everything from character design to motion. The action focus matters here: fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. At 7.1/10 it earns a solid reception, a safe pick for fans of the genre. Voice casting, including Airu Shiozaki as Rock, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2016, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
