Web Series have become one of the best new forms of Indie entertainment, & this includes animation. If you have never seen the 2012 web series by Tom Hanks "Electric City" it's set in a post apocalyptic utopia where mankind is reduced to small settlements whose main business is to produce electric power, and the rules that go with this new struggling environment.
You can watch the whole series here:

blast form the past: Gaga Communications...
If you have never seen the Gaga Communications trailer compilation from the 80's, it is quite a retro throwback to the golden age of anime! This was a sales pitch for the US to get interested in bringing anime movies & OVAs overseas, featuring many fan favorites that got picked up by Central Park Media (Project A-ko, Crystal Triangle, Roots Search etc.) or Animeigo (Bubblegum Crisis, Madox-01) and some were never picked up for the international market at all (like Scoopers)! Most have alternate name titles (Thunder Warrior aka MD Giest, Metallia aka Humanoid) to sell the series, but that's part of the fun... see some examples below...
Supernova (aka Project A-ko)
Futurescape (aka Bubblegum Crisis)
Scoopers
