Desert Punk

A faceless man, scouring the desert while using guns to fend off attackers. This would apply to both series. The differences lie more in the somewat more physical humor and the (little) fanservice in Sunabouzu. Also the plot is quite a bit less mind confusing in Sunabouzu as opposed to Trigun, which does make an attempt to weave a storyline.

Both Trigun and Desert Punk are action-packed and have loads of comic relief. If you liked the desert/post-apocalyptic setting with a hint of lost technology thrown in in one, you'll be set with the other.

Do you like some comedy with your action, an unlikely funny hero, some awesome gun fighting, and a desert setting with hardly any technology? Well both Trigun and Desert Punk are two series who share these same qualities. If you enjoyed one then check out the other.

Vash the Stampede is a great character; he is valiant, chivalrous, deceptively brave, naive, honest, kind and a very skilled shot that's only aimed for good. Trigun's story is of love and peace and ultimately how two very similar people can stray in very opposite directions.

Kanta Mizuno is a major letch. He's brave, or maybe just stupid. He's deceitful and kind of nasty. He's an amazing marksman and will lend his skill so long as there's something in it for him. Desert Punk's story is of lust and war and ultimately how one guy can go in any direction at any time.

The stories and characters are so opposite that they go full circle and become similar. So are the characters and you come to love them for all of the reasons that they are dissimilar. Both are good old sci-fi-futuristic-old-west-gunslingin'-action anime.

Both series take place in baron, post-apocalyptic wasteland environments. Both series have a main protagonist who acts goofy at time, though it's more evident in Sunabozu which can be very slapstick at times.

In both Anime' the main protagonist is a form of bounty hunter with an avid interest in large breasts.

Looks like DP was a inspired by Trigun. Someone thought that people would watch a crazy lone gunman take on the desert again? Well they thought right...After quite a while a new refreshing anime like Trigun came. both main characters have some similaritties but are not the same. DP is even more down to earth than Trigun, and all characters are grey. No good vs. bad, black vs. white, just people here. Good, bad, black & white. Both have the same amount of funny in a bit sick way, and just the right amount. I cant remeber when i laughed so much in a serie like in DP. Probably Seinfeld.  You just have to watch them both.

Sunabozu is unorthodox, the humor that is used, the male lead, the setting. It's all just so weird. If you like that kind of stuff you should see FLCL, it sure is a head trip. Although it's only a 6 ep OVA it is as unorthodox as Sunabozu if not more.

Two men with completely different styles of living but with one thing in common: hilarious and nonstop fun and laughs! If you liked Desert Punk you're going to love Great Teacher Onizuka. Even though Desert Punk and Onizuka have different occupations both of them have the uncanny ability to get into trouble with women while on the job. The humor in GTO is more or less the same as that of Desert Punk so at one point you're probably going to find yourself trying to figure out who makes the funniest face, Onizuka or Desert Punk. But aside from the humor, Onizuka's character is much like that of Desert Punk, especially in his ability to be easily distracted from his job by the opposite sex. He also is quick to take action. So if you like Desert Punk this would be a great follow-up anime.
