Nanbaka actually works well as it is. Prisons are gender separated, keeping it realistic that it's all male staff except the Warden who doesn't directly interact with prisoners, and all male prisoners as it would be normally. It keeps an already unrealistic show grounded with a setting that can at least be understood. The personalities are distinct enough to keep it interesting, and with a couple of very near trap-level character designs, I think the balance is kept well

This exchange kinda reminded me of this random harem anime I watched that took place in a military setting...and still had an almost entirely female cast. I remember the setup was that the main group of six girls and one dude was called the Worst Platoon, because they always failed their missions or something. I remember thinking "Well...I don't want to be a chauvinist...but you're basically setting this up yourself."

I really don't mind it of course. Nice eye candy. Like you said though, I like to see anime that accurately reflect their settings on occasion too.

Ah, I'm guessing you're talking about Taimadou Gakuen 35 Shiken Shoutai. Not necessarily awful, but I ended up dropping it halfway through because it was pretty bad still. I had to really Google for that one too because it was so forgettable as part of the Fall 2015 season among anime like One Punch Man and the second season of Haikyuu, not to mention other action harem anime like Asterisk Wars and Rakudai Kishi no Calvary that all aired simultaneously.
