So here i'm again trying to decipher another........Oh wait i almost forgot..Please be advised the force is with me today so my swearsaber is itching to shoot the F word like a mad apache helicopter's guns.
As i was saying today is the turn of Desert Punk to get some love.Let me see..Yeah got the lube,got the batteries,got some duct tape..Yup all is well.
So storywise DP(fucking lol) is a post apocalyptic anime that depicts the story of one kid,whose name i cannot bother to remember so from now on he is the horny MF.That horny MF as you'd expect is a bounty hunter who does all sorts of jobs for all sorts of people.Basically a whore but with a gun and with more money.But because he thinks more with his dick rather than his actual brain he gets in all sorts of trouble and ends up the one getting fucked over and over and over again.
Sounds terrible?That's cause it is terrible.I mean yeah compared to your basic school setting this is heaven on earth..Yeah i thought so too.Don't get me wrong as a premise it's lovely and different-ish,but as for the execution?That where things go wrong.
Cause ok at first the idea of-getting some crazy mercenary shit done,shit that nobody else can pull off and then for some reason some crazy ass bitch with tits the size of the sun appears,he falls for her "charms" and she takes advantage of that and leaves him penniless and tied up like a pig ready to be slaughtered-is funny at first but when you do the same thing over and over till your life is as miserable as your marriage....Then it becomes a huge problem.
And i'm sorry but repeating the same exact joke for 24 eps is fucking lazy,lame,ridiculous and pathetic.Honestly if you want to watch boobs and basic as fuck boobs humour then there's no shortage of animes out there that do a much better job and have way more in store as far as stories go.
But that's not the only problem.The biggest of them all is the animation.I need you to keep in mind that this cancer was released in 2004.And if you don't remember all that well it was the same time animes like Elfen Lied were being also released,hell even Bleach and Fullmetal Alchemist.Compare those titles or any title for that matter with the animation of this piece of shit.
The characters are like they were from 1950's and the whole scenery was just a desert and some houses..It beggars belief how much of a bad job they did with this one.Sure there were moments where DP was good enough to be clasified as watchable..And that lip sync...Oh my freaking god even in the sub version the lip sync was retarted.
As for the characters themselves?Well there was the MC and a hugely boobed babe who always plays him for a fool,another kid girl who follows the MC around for some reason...And the baddies of the week.And again as a thought these characters had something interesting.But on screen those thoughts weren't delivered...Things like backstory or any sort of story?Nope not a damn thing....Oh and don't think that they grow as the series goes on cause they don't.Stale as a stale dead desert dog.
The only way this anime can make sense,is if you're a 10 yr old cause it has at least some action scenes.But as a comedy-and a comedy that people praise like Jesus-this feels as funny as waking up in the night to find your parents shot in the head by some lunatic.It makes the same jokes,does the same basic plot,over and over again.It's value lies within the first 4 eps and i'm being too generous here.Any episode after that is like groundhog's day.
Good things about it?The opening song and that's it..4 eps worth of anime and a song.
If you want an anime that plays the same thing like a broken record then by all means go ahead.
