| The animation style was very interesting and the music was a nice blend between anime soundtracks and the classic Star Wars themes. I wish the story could have been more fleshed out since the characters seemed pretty cool, but for an experimental short episode, it was pretty good. |
 |
| I cant believe someone came up with something even dumber that the Inquisitors' helicopter lightsabers and still somehow made it look cool |
| I love samurai-era shit so this episode was dope for me. The animation wasn't too bad and I liked the katana-sabers. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| This thread has been cleaned. Please don't make posts or threads about where to watch a series. That just leads to people posting illegal links, which isn't allowed on MAL. |

| umbrella light saber is cool but the hero is he a sith rebel or a grey jedi at least and the animation is clearly 3DCG but rotoscoped to look like 2D animation still not bad visual style |
| Damn that was awesome. Really wish we could learn more about Ronin, he's not a Jedi but also not a sith? He seems to be collecting a lot of red kyber crystals. So perhaps he hunts the sith down and uses a red blade to throw them off? Man I wish there was more of that one. |
| That was a pretty good opening to the series. I liked this episode, but there wasn't a lot to go off of. It was still good and Kamikaze Douga made some good animation that slapped. Will watch more. |
| Pretty nice. The artstyle is pretty unique and reminds me of Promare. The animation will be good for sure. Going to binge the next 7 episodes when I have time. |

| Thank god there is a Japanese option on Disney+, i just want to experience it in the Original for the first time. The Ronin aren't a Jedi neither a Sith... Nice Fight Choreography, The Animation style was really intrigued. I love how they choose to do in Black and White so they can really highlight the Lightsabers. It's like they paying Homage to Akira Kurosawa Movies. Kamikaze Douga did a great job. |

| This one can easily be made a manga just by taking screenshots and compiling in the format. That umbrella add-on is expensive for being basically almost a whole lightsaber. |
 |
| I was pretty skeptical going into this , was curious how they would mesh this together but I think they handled it pretty well. Very solid first episode. Liked that the animation style is different. |
| GODDAMN THAT SOUND WHEN THE RONIN DREW OUT HIS RED LIGHTSABER....orgasmic This was a short episode, but still fun :d |
 |
| The antagonist is stupid and probably the worst part. It feels a bit weird. |

| This was such an awesome fight. i loved the red lighsaber umbrella. And the ronin was sick with his fighting. |

| A great episode to start this series with. Very Kurosawa-esque. I liked the shading that was used, making it almost look like pencil or charcoal. The Sith chick was really cool, I'm just surprised how quickly she got rid of her umbrella lightsaber tool. Character designs were great, music was terrific as per usual for anything Star Wars related, and overall a solid episode. Wouldn't mind a series following this ronin Jedi. |
| Darth Poppins. Really cool first episode. The fight scenes looked very impressive. Wouldn't mind more of exactly this, but I have a feeling I'll be thinking that after some of the other episodes, too. |

| The 'hero' was hella badass with a red saber in a black and white environment |
I don't know how signatures work   |
| Star Wars Visions has been released on Disney+ 1st episode: "The Duel" by Kamikaze Douga. It was good and the animation style was great. |

| Marvelous. Interesting artstyle and concept for the story, beautiful animation, great choreography during the lightsaber duel. The first episode of this show was grand. I wonder if the rest of episodes are going to present similar high quality. |

| I liked the styling of everything in this one as it had a nice Kurosawa feel to it, plus it allowed what little color it had to shine brightly. I also liked Ronin's lightsaber. I want one lol |
 |
| Solid one right off the bat. Art style just a tad bit too noisy and not the easiest to watch, but cool nonetheless with only the lights getting color. Not much to this one, except an ex-Sith who seems to have changed his ways. Other than that, it's just a hero coming in to save the day. 5/10 for this one. |

| Good ep but I would have liked it more if it had more 2D animation |

| This episode was decent. I like the implementation of a more traditional Japanese setting in Star Wars. The fight scene was fine. But two words: Umbrella lightsaber. I just can't lol |
 |
| That was so cool!! Man..I've dreamt of seeing something like this for so long! Wish the Sith lady lived though, pretty cool. |
| A great entry of the show but it doesn't really do much for me. Nothing new or crazy that I didn't see before except for the Ronin to use his force to stop the lightsaber from hitting him. I really enjoy how it is also inspired by Akira Kurosawa, it's definitely a love letter for sure. The artstyle is also unique especially with the dynamic noise (making it look like an old film) and i really think the use of colorful colors on other colors (lmao i'm confused on my sentence) is a genius idea. For some reason, it seems like a promotional video for its upcoming novel called Ronin: A Visions Novel. |
| Nicely animated, dumb as rocks story, but then I guess that fits the StarWars ethos nicely too. |
| Quantum ille canis est in fenestra |
| The Duel, by Kamikaze Douga. Great start, SW Universe crossed with fuedal Japan really worked and a katana lightsabre is just pure makkori. Also the rounin turning out to be a sith was a nice twist and judging from all those red crystals he has no love for his own kind. |
| “I just spent the last two years thinking that you guys knew more than me about life and I just found out that you guys are just as dumb as me.” “Duh-doy.” “Yeah, duh-doy.” |
| Off to a good start, it was pretty cool. |
| This episode was so good. I loved the art style even though it was 3DCG, it just worked. I loved how most of the episode was greyscaled, but you could still see some of the lights in color (like the lights from the lightsabers). This was a great start for Star Wars Visions. |
| Kinda mediocre umbrella light saber ? lol |
| I liked the guys samurai light saber this was really good |
