Based on the 2005 comic book of the same name, the anime adaptation of Cannon Busters is now available to stream on Netflix. To celebrate, the streaming service released the first trailer for its latest original anime series, which introduces its eclectic cast of characters.
Created by LeSean Thomas, the 12-episode anime series follows an immortal outlaw named Philly the Kid, who roams the world with his transforming robot, usually in the form of a pink Cadillac. Soon, he joins up with an android to locate a missing prince.
After releasing two issues of the comic in 2005, Thomas expanded his career into animation, including work on The Boondocks and The Legend of Korra. Following this, Thomas teamed with Crunchyroll to produce the original anime film Children of Ether.
After successfully funding a pilot for the anime adaptation of Cannon Busters through Kickstarter in 2014, Netflix picked up the series with a twelve-episode order in 2017. Initially slated for release this past April, the anime series made its full debut on August 15 in all its futuristic, high-flying action.
Created by LeSean Thomas, Cannon Busters is now available to stream in its entirety on Netflix.
