This show isn't going to teach you anything. I just wanted to hang out with him and smoke a blunt and watch G-Gundam (secretly the best Gundam despite what everybody else who has ever watched it beside me and Nico might say).Įnjoyment: Loads.
Special shout out goes to Nico, the hyper kid who takes a bunch of drugs and is really into stupid anime, because he is basically me. They are either manic and adorably annoying, or unvarying serious to the point that they cannot themselves be taken seriously. Everybody has more or less exactly one joke that they are used to tell over and over, but the joke seems to always land despite being repeated ad nauseam. The main 4 are all pretty funny and engaging, although main guy (#15/Jyuugo) is kind of a sad sack these days. It is charming and funny, and always made me want to watch the next episode.Ĭharacter: Over the top and too much, but so is the show and consequentially it more or less works. It's more or less chibi versions of the characters running around escaping from prison while they all sing a song together. The opening song is pretty cool: rocky J-Pop paired with some fun imagery indicative of the mood of the show. 10/10, this is what art should do for an animated show: inform you by design alone what kind of show you are watching.
The art puts me in the mood to have fun, which the show then offers. It is exciting and surreal, which helps you suspend your disbelief over the antics of the ridiculous plot and characters. The color is hyper-saturated, lime green and hot pink and crazy in the best way possible. We would probably also not be friends, because it sounds like a whole bunch of fun to me.Īrt: OH MY GOD REALLY GOOD! It is a joy to look at. If that doesn't sound fun to you, you probably won't like it. Specifically those two shows, because like Tiny Toon Adventures the characters seem to have the impulse control of infants and can pull seemingly whatever they want out of Hammerspace and like OITNB everybody is kinda compelling and pretty fabulous and kinda gay and in prison. So like Tiny Toon Adventures meets Orange is the New Black. I can best sum up Nanbaka thusly: it is pretty much what would happen if you transformed the Looney Tunes into bishy anime twinks with FABULOUS hair and threw them into aįacility that is simultaneously the worlds most secure prison and the worlds most liberal Montessori preschool. I 100% recommend watching it if you are:ī.) Unbothered by something being really stupid.Ĭ.) Equally unbothered by anime being weird for weird's sake. But the fact it is dumb does not preclude it from being entertaining, and I assure you that it is nothing if not that. This is likey because it really, really is. A description of Nanbaka is probably going to make it sound real dumb.
