Demon of the Desert


Desert Park is NOT for children, or for anyone that's not into some very crude humor. With that said, you'll probably laugh when the first episode is over and wonder what'll come next. While devoid of a real plot except the last 5 episodes, this anime is pretty good. It has fanservice thanks to the busty Junko and Desert Punk spends his time trying to woo her....and failing miserably (perhaps they get together by the end of the series?). This anime is the funniest anime I ever watched, but its crude humor....don't watch if you're easily offended by the humor.
Desert Punk is known as the "demon of the desert" and is a very skilled bounty hunter and merc that goes around doing jobs while trying to survive the savage heat of the desert. This is set thousands of years in the future after something wiped out the last civilization. The people of the desert call our time the "dark ages". A highly enjoyable anime if you're looking for something a bit different.

Now this guy's a PUNK
O.K. First you need to be mature and have a good sense of humor to watch this anime. Second, it helps if you're a guy. Third, girls will probably begin to like it if they watch it long enough, I say, starting around episode four.
K. So your main character is a mercenary who gets his job done by any means necessary, and you should see some those by any means necessary if you think you can handle it. His later to be apprentice is a little girl who wants to be tough just like him, but in her own way. She gets treated like dirt at first, but it pays off in the end. Desert Punk loves hooters, especially big ones like the milk jugs he's rival, love interest, friend, and bully Juno has. This is another girl in the series that might attract girls to watch this anime because she's already at a state Punk's apprentice wants to be. Just about all characters in this anime are rivals to each other and can only be forced to work with each other. They don't really care if the other one dies. I mean, they'll write "Go to Hell" on their tombstones even though the day before they were helping each other out in a mission. But that's because their world is a desert land where water is so scarce people go months without taking a bath. The main story slowly unfolds with passing episode which almost gave me a hard time to really get into it, because I couldn't guess what the big problem was in the first few episodes. It was hard to point out the main boss or threat in this anime. In fact, I'm still kind of confused. I guess this first box set was just to introduce the characters and the situation at hand. I was left wanting more, much more. Just like other great anime have done to me, also. Such as FLCL, Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi, Samurai Champloo, and Trigun. So check this anime out and have a blast.

Dirty crude and funny
This is a great anime if you like boobs and crude humor which I do. It really is more something a guy might like, but I really usually relate to my guy friends humor more than my girl friends. It has a lot of jiggling boobs, an anti-hero main character, and some really amazing ideas of how to get out of tight spot. If you looking for semi-light hearted entertainment this is great! I say semi-light hearted only because they are living in a merciless desert and survival is everyone's main priority.
