The anime is set in the Kanto desert a waste land with skeletal remains of futuristic cities. Desert Punk or Kanta Mizuno is a ruthless mercenary (who's big claim to fame is having never failed a job) living in one of the settlements in the desert but away from the "capital city." His luck changes when on a mission to take out a group of bandits and recover some treasure he comes across a "lost woman" in the desert. The woman turns out to be Junko Asagiri a mercenary after the same treasure. Junko turns out to be Desert Punk's main romantic interest (although he's not too picky as long as the chick's got massive fun bags and not hard on the eyes) and his biggest rival/pain in his ass. In a battle with a man know as the Shimmer Sniper Kanta finds a little girl who he kindly helps out. Little does he realize but this girl Kosuna is the sniper's apprentice. After defeating the Shimmer Sniper Kosuna pursues Desert Punk in the hopes of becoming his apprentice and she ultimately succeeds.
With Desert Punk what ya see is more or less what ya get. The show spends a lot of time dancing around the idea of a really interesting plot line but in the end a lot goes more or less unresolved. It's almost like the writers animators or whoever thought that the show would have a longer run. This anime would have been perfect if there had been a second season they could have finished the story rather than leaving the view sitting there at the end of the 24th (24th?) well final episode saying "What? That's it?" Don't get me wrong it is enjoyable but don't expect a whole lot of intrigue.
It's a fun anime to watch especially if you like big breasted women I know I've said that a lot but that's in the description of the show on hulu. If not or you're looking for something with more depth this isn't for you. I personally liked it but only watch it if you feel like watching something stupid and hilarious.
