I didn't see a topic on here about Desert Punk, so I thought I might start one. I was looking for a new show to watch and decided to purchse the DVD 1 + box. So far: excellent. Laugh-out loud hilarity, likeable characters, engaging & fast moving plots, and an overall "fun" factor. GONZO puts forth another commendable effort with the artwork, as well as a score that fits the show perfectly. I am really enjoying it so far (after the first 4 eps.) Just thought i'd drop my reccomendation Smile
Has anyone else seen the north american release or fansubs(don't spoil it for me Razz)

Yeah, the fansubs before it got licensed. Went by the name of Sunabozu. I need to pick up the dub when I get a chance.

I will agree with your comment on the fast moving plots however, I find the main character quite unlikeable. I'm not sure if it's the lack of facial features or his vulgarity, but I just can't feel for the protagonist of his series. I like the fact that the first DVD has over 15 minutes of Japanese bonus materials, another 15 minutes of new American bonus materials, and the alternate edited episode 1 for extras. Also the typical Funimation angle selection for both English, and Japanese credits. My main compliant for the R1 release is the lack of Funimations tpical transparent case w/ dual sided cover. I hope this is an exception, not a new trend for Funimation. Although I have mixed feelings towards the content, I'm determined to collect the rest of the series since Funimation does such a good job with their releases.

Might sound a bit odd, but is Desert Punk worth investing money into. I love Action/Drama/Romance/Comedy anime, but Desert Punk looks a little unclear to me at the time. Any comments are appreciated. Thanks.
