Cannon Busters Kickstarter project

I thought this looked pretty interesting.

LeSean Thomas has contributed to television animation in the United States for over 10 years. His most notable works include Peabody Award-winning series The Boondocks on Adult Swim serving as Co-Director (Season 1) and Supervising Character Designer (Seasons 1 & 2), Nickelodeon's The Legend Of Korra (Book 1) as a storyboard/production artist, and most recently Black Dynamite: The Animated Series as Creative Producer (Season 1) and Supervising Director (Seasons 1 & 2) on Adult Swim.

Recently, Thomas spent several years working abroad in South Korea as an animation production/storyboard artist, honing his skills and developing Cannon Busters while lending his talent to hit shows. He is driven by his passion and enthusiasm for animation production and enjoys sharing his knowledge with the animation & art community online. Drawing from Western and Eastern influences, Thomas's work displays a level of stylistic expression and dynamism that makes him highly distinguishable among his peers. Through his unique vision and your support, he hopes to bring Cannon Busters to life!

There are several other talents involved in the production, and the artwork is looking pretty gorgeous. Satelight is also involved (they made some of the Hellsing OVA's IIRC). The Kickstarter is just for the pilot episode.

It's great to see western non-comedy animations geared more to the teen/adult audience. I hope the anime influence continues to grow, and maybe this will prove there's a market for it.
