I mean it was already said by an earlier post but the show is just a middle school sketchbook made into a tv show. The guy has the most typical pleb taste in US TV-aired anime and slammed them all into one show, none of the characters are original, the story isn't either, neither is the setting. Nothing happens for a good reason, the episodes are predictable to the point of being painful, it's not just wasted potential, it was a bad fucking idea for a show in the first place. The sheer number of hungry pros and semi-pros out there in the art world who would literally murder someone for the chance to make a show is astronomical, why they went with this guy is beyond me.
I really wanted to want to like it and say this show is good, but I just can't...

Cannon Busters is a reminder that animators are rarely good writers

Oh what a SURPRISE that there's a little boy who's actually a jaded 70-year-old man inside and who uses his apperance to deceive adults.

Looks good

You can say whatever you want about the show, lob any amount of well-earned criticism at it, but Casey is the best girl and I will kill anyone who hurts her.

That’s what what makes it even worse though, they guy is like 40 and has a lot of experience in the industry as a character designer and animator in some major shows. He even directed and I think maybe created the show children of ether, I mean they dude has a lot of credentials and he even made a kickstarter for this show like 4 years ago and had a pilot, but yet with all his experience and credentials he didn’t once think to change or improve any of it into a good story. Like it’s worse than bad because it’s so damn bland and forgettable apart from chapter designs. It doesn’t even work as a love letter to old anime, it’s just like ok lo was, just not really know what it wants to be and referencing what inspired it without truly knowing what made those things great and making something original with it while still paying homage.
like I want some to steal some of these great character designs and concepts and make a actually good show and story out of them. Even nonsense stuff that goes by the rule of cool like hellsing ultimate has a semi compelling story and makes up for it with interesting characters you wanna keep seeing do shit. I don’t care about any of the characters in cannon busters because the get no development at all, they tried to force something with Casey but it was so underserved. Only characters I like the hover arm chick and philly not for who they are as characters because honestly they might as well be cardboard but for they’re designs. Like I really like mystical tattoo everytime you die but that’s even wasted in the show because it’s given no explanation in the show. It didn’t need to be something cliche like you die after 100 or something, it could’ve been simply like each life lost is just a reminder to philly that he’s done shit with his life and wasted potential, but no the only reason for the tats seem to be is a stylistic choice which while cool is again just wasted like a lot of things in this show

Best part of the show honestly

The show could've hands it better.
Like when he tricks S.A.M to find Philly. Shit that is stupid is him racking up a body count of people who laughed at his size. Still salty he killed the cute waitress.

Stop using the word ‘original’, it really doesn’t mean special or even good.
