This series doesn't have it's own thread, but man, it deserves it.
I was lucky enough to find a Demonoid torrent which got me all the episodes with dual audio and subtitles. I only watched the dub, since the subs seemed sub-par in translation quality. But man, it sure was awesome.
If you're interested, here's the situation: Several hundred years ago, our civilization, although much more advanced, possibly 1000 years from our current time, wrecked itself. Japan(although no specific spot is given, the idea that it's a Japanese series and the name of the desert and the culture of the inhabitants points towards Japan) is like the rest of the world, everything turned into desert from the destructive nuclear war.
Civilization has rebuilt over the past few hundred years, they have some gadgets we'd consider dated, but some pretty nice ones also. Mercenaries are men for hire. They take jobs, complete their jobs without being killed, and get payed. The best of the best is a man called Desert Punk, the ghost/demon of the desert. You follow him over the course of the 24 episode series. Only problem is his "old tricks" are only around in the beginning and at a few points at the very end, which kinda sucks because his tricks are pretty cool, so I wish there was some more trickery and a little less of the gun battles.
So now the point between the civilization's collapse and the beginning of the Oases Governments is called the "Dark Ages" and technology from that period is EXTREMELY valuable, and is contraband, but only so the governments in the world can get their hands on it, study it, and make their own replicas.
I highly recommend this series. Anyone else seen it, want to talk about it?
