Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (7/12 eps)
I loved Nanbaka until season 2. Sure, it had its flaws such as the main character having the least amount of personality, but hey, it didn't ruin the insane sparkle the show had. However, Nanbaka shot itself in the foot once they decided to give the story a dark and serious plot. The zany, brightly designed and over the top characters clashed with the plot they tried to introduce. I'm never one to abandon an anime just because I wasn't "wowed" by it, but eventually, I found season two simply dragging and had to say "R.I.P". I loved the first season, but then the second season was like "Let's have plot'" and but my best friend (who was also watching the show) and I were just like 'Let's not tho, right?' but were further disappointed by the plot continuing to overpower the crazy banter.
We need a Nanbaka that's just "baka". I would love to see these gorgeous pretty boys continue shenanigans around the prison, maybe introduce a rival prison somehow. but tragic backstories and intense plot was not something this show needed. Unfortunately, that's my reasoning for the show never really taking off. it is too bad, because these characters would have made amazing cosplays!
