Funimation Reveals English Dub Cast for Nanbaka Anime

Funimation announced the English dub cast for its broadcast dub of the Nanbaka anime on Friday. The series is part of Funimation's SimulDub program for the fall season, and the first episode premiered on Saturday at 10:30 p.m. EDT.

The cast, under ADR Director and scriptwriter Aaron Dismuke, ADR engineer Jamal Roberson, and mix engineer Andrew Tipps, includes:

• Daman Mills as Jyugo
• Ian Sinclair as Hajime
• Alejandro Saab as Uno
• Justin Briner as Niko
• Jarrod Greene as Rock

Funimation describes the series:

Welcome to Nanba, the world's largest, most impenetrable prison. Locked away in cell block 13 are four inmates who provide more than enough trouble for Officer Hajime. Between attempted breakouts, gambling, and general misbehaving, these four believe that just because they're in prison doesn't mean they can't have fun! Follow the hijinks of Jyugo, Uno, Rock, and Nico as they pass time behind bars.

Nanbaka premiered in Japan on October 4, and Crunchyroll is streaming the series as it airs with English subtitles. The anime adapts Shō Futamata's Nanbaka manga, which Crunchyroll is also offering online.
