    Well, I just finished this series. Downloaded it all after watching the first episode at the New York City Comic Con a year ago, and just got around to finishing it. I gotta say;

    I lol'd. I lol'd hard. The whole series is very DLP friendly.

    Here's the rundown:

    ~ Set in a post-Apocalyptic Kanto desert
    ~ Main character lacks any sort of moral fiber. And he's a complete jerk of a pervert. Combine that with his badassness, and you get a very Denarian Renegade Harry -esque character.
    ~ Main character NEVER changes. He's a bastard from beginning to end.
    ~ The dub is amazingly well done, and hysterical.

    I encourage you guys to check it out. Only 24 episodes long. The ending kind of blows, but the series is more about comedy than plot.

    Torrents are easy to find VIA google. Make sure it's dual audio though; the dub has a lot of American/Western-culture jokes that are much more obscure Jap references in the sub.

    I've heard of the series but never actually took the time to watch it, but I might give it a try.

    I found it ironic how the series ends with Punk and Junko siding with the oasis government, though not so much Junko.

    if you honestly think that was a spoiler then you must find it very hard to get interested in things.

    All the same though, I'll keep it in mind.

    That's... kinda a big spoiler :p
    Wouldn't make the series less fun to watch though, it's not exactly plot driven as a whole.

    The characters don't evolve so much as you're slowly introduced to them. You don't really know Kanta (Desert Punk) until the last episode, and even then there are ambiguous parts of his character.
