What hides behind the reflective mask?
“Desert Punk” takes place in a dystopian post-apocalyptic future. Mankind destroyed the modern world in a cataclysm that turned Japan into the Great Kanto Desert. Life in the desert is rough and mercenaries roam wild, taking on and completing any job as long as it pays enough. The show focuses on the adventures of the Kanta Mizuno, AKA the Desert Punk, his rival Junko Asagiri, and eventual apprentice, Kosuna. The show initially focuses on the show’s aesthetic and setting while the latter half concentrates on Kanta and his place in the desert’s politics. The audience learns about the harsh living conditions and are given hints about how the Kanto Desert came to be.
