"Here lie the ruins of a civilization whose transgressions brought about its downfall centuries prior................................and for the survivors they clearly haven't learned a damn thing"..

This story evolves around a villain called Mizuno Kanta and a girl called Koizumi Taiko. The story takes place in a post apocalyptic earth in the year around 4000. Japan became a desert and the people live under very hard circumstances . Kanta is a so called handyman, which means he takes on any job (robbery, kidnapping, odd jobs, bodyguard, etc) to make money. But Kanta is not your everyday handyman, he is very successful and made a name for himself. He is called the legendary desert ghost sonabouzo. On one of his jobs he gets to know Taiko , who becomes his pupil, together they do various handyman-jobs.
Unintentionally Kanta meets many more or less powerful ambitious people and gets into a conflict with the government, this all leads eventually into a rebellion.

Art:
The art was nice it fit the story

Sound:
Was very chilling and gav ethe anime a nice vibe.

Characters:
Kanta Mizuno: He is a villain who does anything for money. He is a psychopath who is obsessed with sex and he is ready to do almost anything to get it. He has a bitter heart and believes the only way to live in the desert is to abuse the weak and kill the strong. There is not much character development, but his character is well defined
Koizumi, Taiko: She is a 13 - 14 year old girl and Mizunos pupil. She is very talented and a quick learner. She is cheerful most of the time. She has some character development, but most of the time she remains in her role as pupil and later in the role as sensai.
Asagiri, Junko: She is a handyman. She is skilled and uses sex-obsessed man like Kanta to get what she needs for her job. She is cold-hearted and money obsessed. No charcter developemnt
The relations between the characters is nicely executed and it can be very funny which is a huge plus.

Enjoyment:
I found the show very enjoying. I would have given it a ten, it had real potential, the execution of story is good too considering that its another post-apocalyptic show..
but........ first of all there was no real character development and you always wait that Kanta change, but it will never happen. There is another major disappointment and that's the ending, this is one of those shows where you get the feeling that they just stopped in the middle of the show because they ran out of funds. The end is very fast-paced compared to the beginning, which si slowpaced, which make sit a bit unbalanced. The end is rushed and downgrades the whole experience.

Overall
I recommend you this because its something different you will see lots of villains interacting and you have a somehow nice plot. But you still will be unsatisfied because the ending fails.
