With a total of thirteen episodes that were aired, the show is based on the web series of the same name, created and developed by Aubrey Ankrum, Rhode Montijo, Kenn Navarro, and Warren Graff for Mondo Media. The series was animated by Canadian studio Fatkat, while the opening and end credits were produced by Ghostbot.[1]
