Synopsis
Nanba is the world's most formidable prison, built to incarcerate criminals who are too slippery to stay in ordinary confinement. The four inmates who occupy Cell 13 are particularly cunning on that behalf, having escaped every other prison with a perfect success rate. There is Juugo, a specialist in locks who has spent the majority of his life in prison; Uno, a gambler with great intuition; Nico, an otaku whose body reacts strangely to drugs; and Rock, a bruiser with a love for food. The daily shenanigans of the four prisoners always cause trouble for the building supervisor, Hajime Sugoroku, who desperately tries to prevent them from breaking out of Nanba. Nanbaka follows the comedic, sparkle-filled exploits of these prisoners and their guards. From three square meals a day to sports festivals, prison life in Nanba isn't actually that bad—and it is the closest these four have to a home.

I dont understand, nothing happened this episode. Yes we saw the encounter between jyugo and the misterious guard but... the other half of the episode was nothing
Hajime punching every single prisioner and the rest of the guards scolting their respective inmate back to their cells with a big bruise on their heads is easily one of the best and most fun frames from this anime hahahaha
With so many colours and happiness in the air you forget that they are in jail hahaha Like should I be happy for them? I still dont know what they did exactly... I will just be happy
This is another episode that could be seen as filler but at least is focused on our beloved group of protagonists. Cozy and fun overall
I've always said it, Hajime really cares about his prisioners. He has a Vegeta kind of vibe when it comes to show true intentions haha
I am with Hajime here, Jyugo was completely out of control, it is true he damaged him a lot but what else could he do?
Meh, I know there was some backstory to the ninja cellmate but I dont think it deserved a whole episode. Kinda filler
Unexpected series of events at the end of the episode. I always liked when a chill/comic show has a dark or more serious moment or arc
What a great guy Hajime is, it is nice to see that even though they drive him crazy, he seems to actually care about them and appreciate their strenghts
Even if this wasnt a great episode per se, the show so far is maintaining a very steady pace. I did like to see that Uno is cooking something hehe
I said it before and i say it again, I love the mayor! hahaha. Good and funny episode
I like the mayor a lot, hope she gets a little bit of acknowledgement from Hajime haha. I dont like the super extravagant and bizarre design of characters but oh well.
I will need some time to get used to the aesthetics of the show in general haha the last scene where we got to see some backstory from number 15 caught me
This episode was interesting, but provided more questions than answers. It's setting up future plot points, and it had a fairly entertaining final fight, but the end felt somewhat anticlimactic and didn't solve the issue at hand at all. Not bad, but not the greatest finale ever.
This episode had very much the same vibe as last episode, being mostly wholesome with a few funny moments. Musashi's story was interesting and tragic, and the return of the elf guy was a surprise taking us into the last episode of this season. Overall, an exciting and fun watch.
This episode was super cute, with a lot of wholesome moments as we see the boys enjoying their tournament prizes and telling stories about how Jugo improved their lives. It was super funny how he couldn't remember any of it. Great episode.
This episode was much closer in tone to the first few, with a mostly light-hearted atmosphere. It was fun to see the other guards deal with cell 13, and the final scene with Jugo apologising to everyone was very sweet and heartfelt. Overall, fun and emotionally satisfying.
This episode was interesting. Much more character-focused, with a discussion about what makes Jugo who he is and what he wants going forward. No fights, no jokes and very few other characters involved. Pretty good overall.
This episode was significantly darker in tone, managing to pull off the transition from fun, friendly environment to a harsh reality check really seamlessly. Very interesting to see everyone's reactions to the fight. Overall great watch.
This episode was a complete change of pace, but at the wrong time. The show tries to make a joke out of the bad timing, but it doesn't change the fact that it's a break in tension. The story itself wasn't bad, cute even, but definitely not more interesting than the fight.
