YMMV / Cannon Busters

• Cliché Storm: The biggest critique of the series is that it takes a lot of influences from other anime, but doesn't do anything new with the ideas, and the resulting story is mediocre at best, boring at worst.
• Crowning Music of Awesome: The opening theme, "Showdown", which starts as a chill rap number before transitioning into energetic and soulful gospel choir. This trope also extends to the laidback R&B tune that is "Regardless", the anime's ending theme. Some reviewers admitted that they thought the show was mediocre at best, but still watched every episode because these two songs were just that good.
• Designated Hero: Philly the Kid is an unlikable Jerkass, who the story tries to make sympathetic by portraying him as having a Dark and Troubled Past, but in practice, he merely comes across as unpleasant and peripheral to the plot at hand. When he actually confronts the man he wants revenge against, he fails miserably, but doesn't seem any more torn up about it than usual. As a result, it's very hard to get invested in anything he does or his desire for revenge.
