This proves that #IndieAnimation is a juggernaut of industry!
Additionally, it differs from the indie 2d magical sci-fi fantasy adventure animation #NomadofNowhere, the modern Western yurish anime El Cazador de la Bruja, or the #steampunk western, #MechWest. histhermann.wordpress.com/2025/09/15/m... (104/?)
For each one of these newsletter issues going forward, I will highlight one #indie #animated series or pilot. I’ve been focusing on them more recently. That includes #MechWest episodes 1-3 histhermann.wordpress.com/2025/09/15/m... (119/?)
MechWest Episode 1-3 Review

Total: 4.8 stars

That's all for this thread. Until next time!

There's plans for an eight-episode first season, with three of those eight episodes aired already, and up six seasons of six to eight episodes each. I look forward to what #MechWest has to offer. comicbook.com/tv-shows/new... (38/?)
There was a note on their #socialmedia that a third episode is in the making (it has been released!), with likely more to come. www.instagram.com/p/DJwmGaoRkMz/ (37/?) #mechwest #indieanimation
There was a statement on their website they are "currently in talks to bring the show to streaming services" mechwestshow.com/learn-more/ (36/?) #indieanimation #mechwest
There will be more #crowdfunding for #mechwest without a doubt. www.patreon.com/MechWestShow (35/?) #indieanimation
I liked how the third episode of #MechWest had a short clip breaking the fourth wall and asking people to support more episodes! MechWest, which is produced by Animischool Studios, will undoubtedly go forward. ironage.media/post/mechwes... (34/?) #indieanimation
I then shared a video of #mechwest deleted scenes www.youtube.com/watch?v=SS2W... (33/?) #indieanimation
Apart from those I previously mentioned, I can't think of other comparisons apart from comparing it to #NomadofNowhere. Furthermore, since #MechWest is considered #steampunk, I see some similar aesthetics in #Korra and #Disenchantment. histhermann.wordpress.com/2022/07/07/d... (32/?) #indieanimation
I can see how #mechwest has some qualities of #ATLA. Even so, this series is very different. Similarly, I understand how the animation quality of this series can be compared to other #Pixar or #Disney series. (31/?)
The latter says #atla, Jurassic Park: Camp Cretaceous, and Star Trek Prodigy fans will enjoy this #indieanimation series. The description further states that "people mostly compare the quality to #Pixar and #Disney Animation." www.abc4.com/gtu/robots-m... (30/?) #mechwest
#MechWest joins #indieanimations #Lackadaisy and The Amazing Digital Circus, according the third episode description. www.abc4.com/gtu/robots-m... (29/?) #indieanimation
There's always the possibility that Pearl and Casey may develop a romance between them. On the topic of #romance, it would be great to add some queer characters to the cast. I've said the same about other indie series, like #GodsSchool. histhermann.wordpress.com/2023/06/15/g... (24/?) #mechwest
I then shared the video clip of the third episode of #mechwest

Then Casey betrays them. He declares he is the joint owner of Six and Abigail wins. Where's Lisa, from #MyDadtheBountyHunter when you need her? If she was there, they certainly would have won. histhermann.wordpress.com/2023/03/31/m... (22/?) #gambling #indieanimation #mechwest
Back to the #MechWest episode, usual customers in the #casino are skeptical of Casey. This included Abigail Gates (voiced by Gabriel Ashton Brown), who Pearl faces in a card game. variety.com/2025/digital... (21/?) #indieanimation #gambling
It reminds me a little of an episode in #StarWarsResistance ("The Voxx Vortex 5000") where they played in a rigged #casino in hopes of gaining some extra cash. histhermann.wordpress.com/2022/11/10/s... (20/?) #mechwest #gambling #indieanimation (20/?)
He cons them into #gambling so they pay him back. Although Pico and Pearl are not keen on this plan, Pearl says they "have to" pay him back (do they really?). histhermann.wordpress.com/2023/06/08/o... (19/?) #okatuelf #mechwest #gambling #indieanimation
Pearl cares about Six, unlike anyone else, even pushing to get Six's arm. Casey acts just like Craig in #InvincibleFightGirl, in that he is a shyster, trying to get a buck out of every interaction. comicbook.com/tv-shows/new... #indieanimationn #gambling #mechwest (18/?)
I then shared the video for the second episode of #mechwest www.youtube.com/watch?v=usHM... (17/?) #indieanimation
Having unanswered questions shows that #mechwest has depth in that it isn't just giving the audience the answers. Instead, they have to think about it. This doesn't take away from how heartwarming this series is, at times. www.stgeorgeutah.com/life/arts-en... (16/?) #indieanimation
I then shared the opening/pilot episode of #mechwest www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFs2... (15/?) #indieanimation
He further noted that Noah is his father, with #atla as a shared inspiration, bleeding into #mechwest (13/?)
In an interview, Dave Gallagher said he "worked at Blue Sky Studios for 11 years. I was a character development supervisor. I modeled, I rigged, I animated, and guided rigs into the animation department." www.cartoonbrew.com/interviews/m... (12/?) #indieanimation #mechwest
Additional members of the #mechwest staff, like Luis Bermudez and Brian Hull, voiced characters in #InvincibleFightGirl, #YoungLove, and #ZachinTime. histhermann.wordpress.com/2023/10/20/y... (11/?) #indieanimation
Some of the show's staff have experience in animation. For instance, Dave Gallagher worked on several of Pixar's Ice Age films. Moroni Taylor storyboarded for Spies in Disguise. (10/?) #mechwest #indieanimation
Otherwise, Dave Gallagher and Clifford James Taylor are the first episode's writers. www.animationmagazine.net/2025/01/excl... (9/?) #mechwest #indieanimation
