Cannon Busters is a science fiction anime series that premiered on Netflix in 2019. The show is based on a comic book series by LeSean Thomas, who also serves as creator and executive producer of the show. The story takes place in a world called Gearbolt, which is a mix of Western-style cowboys and advanced technology. The main character of the show is a robot named S.A.M. (Special Associate Model), who is on a mission to find her best friend, the princess of the kingdom of Botica. Along the way, she meets a diverse group of characters who join her on her quest.

One of these characters is a wanted criminal named Philly the Kid, who befriends S.A.M. after a chance encounter. Philly is a gunslinger with a quick trigger finger and a love for fast horses. Despite his rough exterior, Philly has a soft spot for those he cares about, and he soon becomes one of S.A.M.'s closest allies.

Another important character in the show is Casey Turnbuckle, an engineer and mechanic who built S.A.M. Casey is a genius inventor who creates all sorts of gadgets and machines, including a jetpack for S.A.M. and a transforming motorcycle for Philly. Casey also serves as a source of comic relief in the show, with his bumbling attempts to flirt with S.A.M. and his over-the-top reactions to the various obstacles they encounter.

Rounding out the main cast of characters are several supporting players who add depth and variety to the world of Gearbolt. There's J-Seven, a robot bounty hunter who is after Philly; 9ine, a mysterious traveler who has her own reasons for helping S.A.M.; and Locke, a stoic swordsman who serves as a mentor to Philly.

The show features a mix of action, humor, and drama, with each episode advancing the main plot while also exploring the backgrounds and motivations of the various characters. One of the show's strengths is its diverse cast, with characters of all races, genders, and backgrounds working together to achieve a common goal.

The animation style of the show is a unique blend of 2D and 3D, with hand-drawn characters and backgrounds overlaid on top of computer-generated environments. This gives the show a distinctive look and allows for some impressive action sequences, particularly during the numerous gunfights and chase scenes.

Overall, Cannon Busters is an exciting and entertaining anime series that should appeal to fans of science fiction, action, and adventure. Its diverse cast of characters and unique animation style set it apart from other shows in the genre, and its blend of humor and drama make it a well-rounded viewing experience.

Cannon Busters is a series that ran for 1 seasons (12 episodes) between April 1, 2019 and on Netflix
