I wanna talk more abt nnbk but idk what to talk abt so I will shut up now umu

[zombiesama]

ok so I have been wondering and trying to look it myself has been dissatisfying, what is nanbaka about?? for some reason this question sounds mean to me but idk how else to word it, so why do u like it so much as well? I'm always curious about my mutuals interests so!! enjoy rereading it too btw!! (also just so u know I'm glad I proofread this bc my phone changed question to quesadilla 🤣)

Nanbaka is a prison anime!! It starts as entirely comedy but takes a really sharp turn into action adventure with some gore and stuff and then swings back to comedy again!

Idk how to explain the comedy parts bc they're mostly slice of life-y but the action stuff is interesting but like all of it is spoilers umu. Basically Jyugo (main character)' s limbs can turn into knives? And he is Very Upset by this and so is everyone round him. And turns out he's been like????? Transformed into the knife hands transformer by some guy named Elf who has done similar stuff to others (there's a guy who bursts into flames that Elf controls and utilizes those powers). Theres a whole bunch of drama where someone from the maximum security part of the already maximum security prison breaks out while most of the main 4 are in that area (the only one left out was injured at that time) and they're separated by the guard that was escorting them there so chaos ensues.

I find the characters really interesting! Theres the chronically ill Nico who has food allergies and a mental illness and has to take Many Many meds every day to stay healthy! Hes terrified of needles and hates hospitals but has to spend a lot of time with the doctor at the prison bc he's so unhealthy. The doctor made good tasting medicine just to make Nico take his meds! He also is obsessed with anime and manga, but has never played video games (but later ends up loving them). Hes the most cool and interesting to me!

And Uno who is a pretty boy but hates being called that. Hes a play boy who has dated many girls and hes really good at gambling (but got caught for underaged gambling and was arrested).

And Rock who is a fighter type guy who's really beefy but has a huge love of food (to the point he broke out of prison many times because the food wasnt good)! He's really lovable and sweet and is Nico's best friend and they sleep right next to eachother at night and their futons touch and it's cute ok

And the main character who I actually find the least interesting of the main four is Jyugo!! His eyes are really pretty they change color depending on the angle you look at them! Hes a master escape artist with no other skills and his whole story arc is learning to be greedy for himself bc he starts off with no desires or wants! He ends up wanting to be with his friends and begs to get back with them after being separated from them for spoilery reasons! He also at one point jokes and says he's also attracted to men so he's bi in my heart

Some other really cool characters are Kiji (a gnc guy who is obsessed with beauty, I prefer to headcanon him as a transwoman though), Hitoshi (another gnc guy who looks up to his big brother), and musashi (who is random human combustion in person form. Hes also terrified of frogs, blind, and really really smart)!

Theres also Honey and Trois, two pretty boys under the care of Kiji. Honey has anger issues and Trois can make anything if given some materials! He makes a bazooka at one point. It's pretty neat.

And Liang, Qi, and Upa all share a cell! Liang is Rock's rival and he's a martial arts guy. Qi is a doctor who hates fighting. Upa is??? Magic??? Hes got this ability called Qigong and hes super strong. At one point he does the kamehameha thing and Nico goes batshit over it.

The character designs are all so good and the colors are so vibrant! The story is very interesting once you get past the comedy parts.

And just hhhh everyone is a little gnc bc everyone has painted nails. All the main four have interesting backstories (from gangs to accidentally smuggling drugs) and their designs are just So Good like loom at these boys!!

I just really love the characters a lot I guess. The story isnt like. The best but the characters are top notch.
