any on ever seen "Desert Punk?"

Its a japanes Manga Post Apoc series that is pretty funny. I was thinking the main characters would be a great base for some Mins.
For those who haven't seen it, the show is pretty tongue and cheek. With the Protagonists main goal of mostly getting "paid and getting laid". In that order.

Even if your not into the whole anima style. They are a pretty good for base for some hard-nosed Mercs and some random gaming if you ask me.
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

Own the entire series. I really like it, aside from... what's her name... Kanta's apprentice, who's voice is akin to nails across a chalkboard. I actually have a Low Life RPG character loosely based off of Kanta. Nipskidder the Sand Bastard, bounty hunter.

Aside from that, I've had similar ideas. I watch a lot of anime, although I'm very picky about what I like, and half the time I'm mining them for gaming ideas. Mostly for terrain, actually.

Well I've found the manga in Japanese...and I've found it in French...but there doesn't seem to be an English version of it.

Guess I'll have to go searching for fan translations online.

I'm not in the US unfortunatly.

While the anime does sound interesting the manga seems a lot more my thing as from the little information I've dug up it is apparantly a fair bit darker and has more my style of humour to it.

Own the entire series.
--- Is it 24 episodes only? Or an ongoing series?
