NANBAKA

2016–2017 · 2 seasons

A bright, boisterous prison comedy where cartoonish brawls and goofy banter keep the mood light and the stakes low.

Genres
Animation, Comedy, Action & adventure
Overview
Four men are assigned to Nanba, the world’s most formidable prison. Jyugo, 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; Rock, a man who likes to get into fights; and Nico, a man who likes anime. A super exciting action comedy about the daily lives of the prison’s inmates and guards.
