    My all time favorite
    I've seen this anime several times over in both subbed format and dubbed over the years. Mostly any chance I get to show somebody who's never seen it I take the chance to watch it again. I never get sick of it and love taking the chance to show someone an anime they may have never heard of because it was largely left in the dust in time.

    The interesting part to me is the cast who is incredibly entertaining to watch and likeable despite upon further inspection most of the characters are objectively not the typical kind of people you would root for. They are portrayed as terrible people yet you can't help but root for them, especially the main character with all his many flaws and poor characteristics.

    As well as being an interesting blend of post apocalypse and comedy it also has its moments that still to this day leave me in tears as well as some others I've shown it to. The soundtrack specifically hits really hard during these moments but overall is very jazzy and high energy, most notably the opening, which is one of my favorites in general.

    My only gripe with the show as a whole is the ending, I will not say or even elude to what happens but it suffers from the situation of "We made an anime before the manga finished." dilemma. Which is fair as the manga did not finish until a whopping 15 years after the anime finished airing. (October of 2020)
