Star Wars: Visions
Yes it’s anime. Yes it’s Star Wars. Yes it’s good.

The world of Japanese anime once again edges just a little closer to the world of American industrial entertainment. And I’m beginning to worry about it.
Sometimes the beauty of anime surpasses any limits I imagined possible. But one thing is certain: I will never cease to be amazed when those limits are broken anew.
We’ve had enough of these essay-length titles! Let’s just use a number for a title!
