In a media landscape dominated by major studios and corporate algorithms, a small but passionate collective of creators is proving that there’s still room for independent, creator-driven animation to shine.

Enter StarBreaker, a bold sci-fi animated series born from Latin America’s burgeoning animation scene. Heavily inspired by anime classics like Robotech and Gundam, StarBreaker is a passion project that has defied the odds — developed on a micro-budget and driven by a team that refused to let financial limitations get in the way of powerful storytelling and visual ambition.

After four years of production struggles, StarBreaker is fully completed — a rare feat in indie animation. The series comprises four action-packed 24-minute episodes, featuring dynamic mecha battles, cosmic stakes and a uniquely Latin American narrative voice. All that’s left now is to produce an English dub and manufacture the DVD and Blu-ray editions, bringing the story to a wider global audience.

But what is StarBreaker about?

Set in the year 2299, StarBreaker follows the remnants of humanity on a distant colony world, struggling to survive in a universe ravaged by a powerful and mysterious enemy known as the Scorchers — reality-breaking machines capable of rewriting the laws of physics. At the heart of humanity’s resistance is the Chaos Clock, an alien relic capable of predicting enemy movements and calculating survival strategies — but only readable by “Elders,” humans who have been psychologically fused with the relic and placed in suspended animation until needed.

One such Elder, Commander Rzhevsky, awakens and imposes martial law over the colony of Travancore, believing that blind adherence to the Chaos Clock is the only way to stop the Scorchers. As the conflict escalates, the line between savior and tyrant begins to blur, and the very tactics used to save humanity may cost them their souls.

It’s a story about war, sacrifice, obsession and faith in something beyond comprehension — a digital alien god speaking only in binary. And like the best sci-fi, it’s a mirror for the world we live in.

To make StarBreaker accessible to English-speaking audiences, the creators have launched a Kickstarter campaign. The funds raised will cover professional voice acting, localization and the production of limited edition Blu-ray and DVD releases featuring both Spanish and English audio tracks.

But the campaign is about more than just finishing a single series — it’s part of a larger vision.

Backing StarBreaker means supporting the mission of Whatatoon.com, a new streaming platform and 24/7 FAST channel dedicated to giving independent and forgotten animated works the spotlight they deserve.

Whatatoon.com aims to rescue vintage cartoons from obscurity and fund new, original series that mainstream networks wouldn’t touch. It’s animation without the gatekeepers.

If the StarBreaker campaign reaches its funding goal, it will not only complete the English-language release of the series — it will also help greenlight new indie animated projects currently in development for Whatatoon.com. The future of independent animation could start right here, with one successful campaign.

For fans of animation who believe in bold stories, diverse voices and studio-free creativity, StarBreaker is more than a show — it’s a statement.
