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.
