Cannon Busters was originally created as a comic in 2003 by LeSean Thomas, who went on to become a character designer and storyboard artist for The Boondocks and the animated Black Dynamite series on Adult Swim.

The anime looks like a mix of Cowboy Bebop and Trigun, and the LaSean Thamas describes the show as "The Wizard of Oz meets Hidden Fortress with a dash of Escaflowne + Hip Hop and classic RPGS — all rolled into one ride of fun, suspense, action & wackiness."
