#I've already rewatched ep 1 in canto :3

[nyarados]

ep 6. t0-b1

suuuper cute animation! very astro boy vibes. our main character definitely shows growth throughout the episode but it wasn't really paced too well. the story was moving way too quickly from scene to scene with no dynamic pauses to create any sense of tension. unsure if this was a time constraint or what led to the rushed storytelling, esp after finding out it was the third shortest episode at 13min 17s

ep 7. the elder

from the same studio that did the twins and gotta say I liked this one a LOT. it was a short and simple story that was suspenseful but still had some sweet moments. and then when you meet the elder...... hoo boy that is an old man alright but he is also really creepy and undeniably very dangerous. the fight was really well choregraphed and then the VERY end was just so strange in that inexplicable way that makes you want to know more about this elder but you know you'll just never get to

ep 8. lop and ochō

the ep that I kept referring to as the furry ep bc the mc is a bunny girl but then I ended up actually getting teary eyed at the end omgggggg...... tbh was braced for a really sad ending but it wasn't as sad as I was expecting (not a bad thing exactly. keep in mind I still got teary too so obv something was impactful). really liked this ep and wouldn't mind more of the story. loved the characters and you understand a bit of everyone's actions

ep 9. akakiri

the second instance of a studio doing two episodes (in this case, same people who did t0-b1). personally was more interested in the side characters bc they were funny. like as much as you learn abt the main character there just wasn't quite that much depth to him? as in you don't get to form too much of an emotional attachment and so you kinda just watch him do things. personally felt more towards those two side characters. appreciate what they did with the ending tho

overall

was told that star wars was originally inspired by old japanese samurai movies so it's amazing that they did this anthology to kind of full circle it back to almost its origin in a way? hope they will do another season with more or expand on some of the ones from these nine. will probs be rewatching my fav ones in canto

okay so we started watching star wars visions last night. my thoughts shall be as follows:
