Whether you’re an anime fan or not, it is still some of the most detailed and visually impressive artwork, especially in motion format, that has ever existed. Sure there are some bubblegum versions of it and it can be over the top, but the entire Asian entertainment culture is pretty over the top, in general. Mixing it with a Sci-fi/fantasy world like Star Wars is just genius.
Star Wars is comprised of some super advanced ideas, coming out of a very technology-limited era. It’s truly amazing that Lucas and his crew were able to make the originals as detailed and exciting looking as they turned out to be. Applying that world to the art of anime is phenomenal. The dynamics you get to experience, even when compared to the newest trilogy, are really intimate and much more intense. There’s a seriousness and a darkness, maybe even a grittiness, that anime has, where the Star Wars films still maintained a level of humor or lightness.
I can really get on board with anime at times and this is surely one of them. Check it out. Its awesome. There’s no doubt about that. I’ll be looking into this a whole lot more ASAP.
