Star Wars: Visions? Visions. Now that's a show I've not podcasted about in a long time. A long time.
More than four months and 17 episodes since our discussion of episode 5 in season one, and rumors have discussed the release of season two. Originally, Steve thought he might wrap all the episodes into one podcast and gloss over the anime, because it's not his favorite medium for storytelling. After watching just one episode, Steve realized there were stories that can transcend the medium. Is TO-B1 one of them?
It depends on your point of view, of course. The story is a classic, think Pinocchio. That's not Disney's doing, but Science SARU, the studio behind episode 6. If you like the whimsical animation style and the fairytale, you may fall in love with Tobi. If not, you may have trouble without a childlike wonderment.
The soundtrack is not the star here. This is a brief, but uplifting look at a master's creation bringing life to more than itself and the journey to other worlds being less important than the journey inward.
Steve recaps "TO-B1", talks about the Filmmaker Focus featurette, and reminds you of our updated links with Linktree.
