'I'm really excited about coming back to the world of Gearbolt in Cannon Busters. 'I can't get into too much detail, but Cannon Busters and Yasuke were projects that were already slated to be made,' he said. And here's a little scoop: Speaking with EW in March 2021, Thomas said there will 'absolutely' be a third season of the anime.
Cannon Busters features plenty of homages to the anime works that have come to have an impact on him.
Otherwise NGNL and Clannad are both kinda harem-y, and definitely closer genre-wise to normal harem anime. A fun tidbit: Thomas grew up in New York City but relocated to Japan out of a love for anime and to further his career in animation. Sword Art Online and Knights of Sidonia are both animes that, while not harem anime per se, have some pretty harem-y aspects to them (Male MC surrounded by adoring female characters all vying for his affections). Soon they become great friends and discover they share one thing in common they are both transgender. There he meets the tomboyish Yoshino who sits at the desk next to him. The series follows Shuichi, a shy preteen boy who transfers to a new school. Thanks to Kickstarter, Thomas was able to adapt the comic into an anime series, and now we have a fantasy story that is funny, dynamic, reverent, and absurd in all the right ways. Wandering Son is one of the highest-rated LGBTQ anime around. Before Yasuke, animator LeSean Thomas published a fantasy comic book series in 2005 about an immortal outlaw with a transforming pink Cadillac who bands together with a droid duo, who are looking for a missing prince.
