Cannon Busters

Last Exile is a “middle-road” sci-fi like Cannon Busters. Both have little gems that make them interesting. Last Exile is set in a steampunk world where flight is more common than driving thanks to Claudia crystals.

Besides the obvious American anime (Afro Samurai, Boondocks and Black Dynamite) directed towards a afro-ethnic audience, Samurai Champloo is no stranger to hip-hop. The series has such an exuberant amount of personality and artistic flair that it takes on a life of its own. Those who enjoy Cannon Busters’ heart and soul would find Samurai Champloo to be entirely unforgettable.

Oban Star-Racers also includes a ragtag team of “buddies” all with their own goals like Cannon Busters. Both do a beautiful job building up the relationships and fearing for their character’s lives.

Made in Abyss and Cannon Busters both have not entirely human protagonists. Both include a colorful pallet and interesting characters. Along with soundtracks you wouldn’t usually think of when it comes to anime.

The stories themselves are hardly similar, but there is an emotional atmosphere in each world's creation through how the characters live and react to situations. Rahxephon is also a "character-driven" story which I highly recommend if you enjoy a female cast that has more depth than just being a potential love interest to the main character.
