The first about 6-8 episodes are a build up of the story, not to much action and there is some ridiculous aspects to it; however after that the story gets rolling and every episode is absolutely awesome. The story is about a post apocalyptic Japan where everything is Desert and water in some parts are scarce and hard to come by. The series which has a lot of ecchiness to it has a very serious and well developed plot, it posses a lot of complex questions and decisions (for example the main characters run into a couple of orphans in the desert and have to make a tough decision on whether to take the orphans with them or not). The series is one the funniest that i have watched, and not that guy slips and pulls down a girls skirt highschool comedy/drama nonsense. The main character Kanta is an absolute riot, he is guarantee to make you laugh.
Speaking of characters this show has them in droves. The main character in my opinion is one the best an most realistic characters in anime history. KANTA is the real deal, no bullshit, no lets make this a nice guy nonsense. Kanta is a jerk and makes no qualms about it, he wants to bang Junko (even though she never lets him....TEASE) and he even makes a deal with 14yr-old Koizumi that if he trains her she will be his when she is of age. Kanta makes rational and cold decisions he doesn't any job unless there is a profit to be had. One the only series I can think of where the majority of people who come in contact with the main character hate him.
The bottom line is that Desert Punk (Again watch the dub it's way better) Is an Anime that has a great story, and if your looking for an Anime that progresses and stays true to the characters till the end then you have to watch this. This anime is one the rare animes that keeps on getting better as it goes on; One of GONZO's best works in my opinion.
