Had this aired on Nickelodeon back in Fall 2001, it would have been the first anime-based, action-oriented cartoon in its history as well as the first anime-based Nicktoon.
This pilot was never green lit for a TV series for two reasons. The first reason is that it was meant to have aired in the Fall of 2001, however after the 9/11 incident TV networks were sensitive in airing shows and movies that reference air crafts crashing into a building. So Nickelodeon canned the proposal for a TV series made based off of this pilot. The second reason it was canceled was because the creator Micah Wright was suspected of spearheading a plan to unionize the Nickelodeon writing staff, which Nickelodeon didn't approve of so they shelved this series as punishment.
