This, not Zeta is Tomino's masterpiece.
I haven't seen much of it, but from the little I have I must compliment how it handles its animation.
The animation's not great at all, mind, but it is pretty bold in what it tries to do, and there is a lot of energy, movement and character to the scenes I've seen of it. It's wacky and fun to watch.
SRW makes it look like Fist of the Mad Max if it was pumped full of Looney Toons. Is this an accurate assessment of the show? Or is the Tomino so strong that it's difficult to compare it to more conventional anime?

No that's accurate. There's some class warfare stuff down the line and it gets a little darker as it goes onlike how Elche gets brainwashed and blinded and Arthur dies, but otherwise it's happy fun time post-apocalypse adventures.

I'd say "post-apocalypse" is a really bad description for Xabungle. It's the Wild West! The frontier! It's not so much about scavenging and making do as it is wheeling and dealing, both with money and with bullets. By comparison the post-apoc part is tiny and has little bearing on the immediate story.
Even the machines themselves reflect this; they're manufactured, distributed, purchased, and traded, and are designed and built by engineers and workers with an existing base of resources and infrastructure (as unreliable as it may be) to distribute them through.
I love this series. It's got a little bit of everything I love, with a dash of Tomino crazy and some nice humour.
Also landships; landships fucking EVERYWHERE.
My main complaint is the the abundance of humour makes some of the drama hard to take. Or at least to distinguish. I'm thinking specially if Elchi's dad dying by falling out an open window. The impact of the moment was robbed because I was fully expecting it to be a joke and didn't realise it had killed him for a short while. I'm sure characters survive that kind of injury by cartoon physics often in the show, so it made his death a little weird.
That said, it's still a great show and one of my favourites.
Blurays when
Haven't finished out yet, but so far so good. Really liked the gags and characters.

Which bush did you jump out of? I thought you were decomposing by now.
