Cannon Busters sometimes has awkward un-anime-like pacing. Most of the show's jokes fall flat that you are left wondering if you're supposed to laugh at the joke itself or the attempt. Its main character Philly's character is written well with a tragic backstory which are the roots of his self-hate and personality. But it is almost as if the writers said "fuck it" with the rest of the squad initially.

Characters stay the same. Development is hinted at in the finale with one of the main characters, but is swiftly thrown into the trash due to a cliche amnesia character trait. The only character who really develops is the prince, who is a supporting character.

The art is okay, there are some good action scenes and the CGI is bearable at first, but is stupid in the finale.

The music is okay as well, there is no actual "theme" it seems as if they just got their hands on whatever music they thought sounded good, and could have access to. It is by no means original.

I'm fine with a cliche story about an adventure with a goal as long as it is executed with finesse, the direction is original, and the story is memorable. If you have all of these you can't be below an 8 in my books. But, as with everything, easier said than done.

5/10 don't waste your time on this it barely qualifies as a Cowboy Bebop spinoff.
