Synopsis

The Great Kanto Desert, a sweltering wasteland of nothing but ruins and sand, is all that remains of post-apocalyptic Japan. The once fair population has been left to cling to the inhospitable dunes for survival. At least, that is the case for normal people. For those who have spent a little too long in the Kanto sun, the desert offers a wondrous opportunity to make a name for themselves.

One such person is the masked handyman "Sunabouzu," or Desert Punk, who has forged a legendary reputation for always finishing his jobs, no matter the nature or cost. Cunning and ruthless, he has become a force of crude destruction to the other desert people. However, the "Vixen of the Desert," Junko Asagiri, discovers that Sunabouzu is not without his weaknesses—he is easily swayed by his insatiable lust for large-breasted desert babes.

Following their chaotic adventures through the Kanto Desert, Sunabouzu features a bizarre cast of personalities who entertain themselves with senseless violence and perversion in a world long destroyed by their forefathers. And just like them, they have not learned a damn thing.

Mixed Feelings
Starts really well, and then bottoms out.
It gets severely problematic around the 2/3rds mark, and then they fix it in the only way they can, and the last 1/3rd is pointless waste of time.

The humour at the beginning is good - very crude, definitely ecchi, and definitely pervy teenager oriented, but I remember being that age. As the episodes continue they try to edgelord Sunabouzu and as they all do... he becomes deeply unlikable. A real shame.

There are some absolute stand out episodes where Sunabouzu/Kanta is written correctly, and is great, played well for the fool he is, but also good natured and ...

Quick take: oof.

The major problem with Sunabozu is that the storyline seems to lack a finite point. Indeed, several plot points are introduced and many seem to be still untied at the end. This is all assuming you get past the first few episodes.

You see, Sunabozu is a nightmare to watch during the first ten episodes or so. The episodic stories are bland at best, but mostly they’re just horrific. I honestly considered dropping after the first episode. Ironically, if you can make it past these beginning episodes, you’ll find that the story begins to take a nice climb into good territory. Things start ...
