Another amazing reaction and after this let's meet some Commando and a god
And also erick is not a 4 lom is a ra 7 protocol droid
@Marcus Chinen the only person i see in this comment is you and you say it is bad
watch it in japanese
No man, you don't have to bleed anything. I don't know whose stupid idea was to give this kind of lore to red crystals, but red crystals in the past were found just like all the other crystals. The canon used to say that because they were such a rarity though, red crystals had to be mostly synthetic.
First lightsaber kill is brutal. She straight up pizza'ed his ass lmao
I was surprised to see that even while there wasn't blood and gore, top 10 lightsaber kills in all of Star Wars lol
no IT'S A
DONUT
😂
This so cruel lol
Lol…

One of my oldest friends is a huge anime fan but has never seen Star Wars. After binging Visions, he asked me to watch the entirety of the movies with him.
Ooh it’s fun to see people’s reactions to things you’ve grown up on
Good on you! Will be interesting for you see your friend's reactions. Will you watch in order or start with the Classic Trilogy. Throw in _Clone Wars_, _Rebels_, & _Madelorian_ and you're set!
The first episode of visions is better than any movie
@@kalebtlt1630 the movie is boring
@@chainsaw8523 all of them
Apparently in this alternate universe, the Jedi were the most loyal servants on the Empire. Jedi belonged to different clans and fought countless times for power but then a sect of Jedi, who wished to make their own destiny and serve none but themselves away from constant war, rebelled and called themselves the Sith.
The Sith rebellion failed (I think that's what they mean by "the war") and the Jedi clans united to form the Empire. It's actually pretty fucking cool and there's a visual novel coming in October based on the Ronin and who he actually is.
That’s sick
Pretty sure it's just an actual novel that's coming in October (the kind with words :) by Emma Mieko Candon (unless there's two due I guess ?). Good news for me since i'm not into so-called "visual novels".
That sounds so dope!!
Better than I thought.
The ronin is so cool I need more
Hahaaha Eric with "Don't fly with it" 🤞🤞
Calvin: "Please fly with it"
😂😂😂
I get both sides, but come on, you have an umbrella-shaped saber and you're not going to Mary Poppin's that shit?!
Even if it's anime it still looks pretty ridiculous the way they use the lightsaber to fly.
@@diegomendez3943 She nailed the landing though.
@@theadamcoleman they already fly using dual sabers in rebels haha
@@diegomendez3943 to be fair she never really "flew" with it, more like hovered for barely a second before dropping down.Probably could've just used a little bit of Force to hover, while the lightsaber is more for intimidation in that way.
The Warrior grabs the crystal " A fine addition to my collection."
And I love Eric's reaction to the umbrella lightsaber.
Don’t fly
The ninth Jedi to me was an amazing episode I really would love a whole series off that episode. Wouldn’t even mind if it were canon cause it’s set so far into the future after the Star Wars shows and movies we know and is very similar to the Star Wars we know.
yeah the reveal is so good
I agree, The Ninth Jedi is my favorite one too :)
Loved the twist. Didn't see that coming
Yeah episode five was the best the rest where kinda meh beautiful but meh story wise XD
I feel the same way, they were all fun to watch but episode 5 was just incredible. I really just enjoyed it so much, and I want The Ninth Jedi to be a canon series so badly!
I need a season for every one of these episodes. Seriously. Also, the soundtrack = perfection.
Right I'm obsessed with bunny Jedi Lop now. Or the little android kid Tobi. And i wanna know more about the guy from episode 1.
@@CrystalClear5617 if you mean ronin then there’s actually a novel out about him!
@@lostvayne218 Umm...more details about that?
@@dphalanx7465 He originally came out from a novel titled "Star Wars: Ronin"
Absolutely agree! Each episode feels a lot like a prologue to a grand epic story. And I really had to look up the composer's name before fooling myself into thinking it's one of Williams's disciples. And not just the score that is great but also the sound design and sound mix. The first sound I heard in each episode transported me right back to the galaxy far far away. Despite having wildly different art styles, everything feels strangely familiarly Star Wars.
The umbrella part being an attachment reminded me of the Jedi ships in the High Republic, how they can use their lightsabers to power their weapon systems.
Or that rifle that the librarian Jocasta Nu uses against Vader
what i'm most excited about for this series to do is for it to introduce a lot more people to the different studios behind each episode and get them to check out more anime projects they've worked on.
the studio behind this episode, kamikaze douga, is probably most recognizable for their work in the CG openings of the first three parts of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, and the Batman Ninja animated movie- which was batshit insane in a very good way.
Haha bat shit
My most vivid memory of that movie is the giant mechs and I wouldn't have it any other way
oh I had a feeling it was them
@Mister Mister no that's gainax/trigger who made these animes
@@Alex254561 yes, trigger make two episodes of this
I think the Sheath is a distraction to throw off his opponents. She didn’t expect he was a Jedi till he used the force despite the saber being in plain sight and she didn’t realise he was a Smith till he drew the saber from its sheath. It’s as much a tactful manoeuvre as it is a mind game
and as we see no one expects the sheath to be another saber
@@AGO339: excellent observation
Ahh yes, she didn't realize he was a Smith. Damn agent Smith trying to take over the matrix!
@@iziizii: haha damn autocorrect
From what I heard, his lightsaber doesn’t turn off. It’s broken and doesn’t turn off, so he made a sheath out of the lightsaber hilts on defeated sith
This was a HELL of a way to start. To me the music felt like a cross between Ahsoka's reveal in her fight against the 5th Brother and 7th Sister and Duel Of The Fates
YES! I thought of Duel of the Fates as well. The music was very well done!
I was getting some serious Ghost in the Shell vibes
Everyone going to glance over Eric's
"Perhaps I killed a Sith and took his lightsaber from him?"
Great Episode 1 callback
another thing i liked about the "umbrella saber" was when she helicoptered in it seemed like it was done right instead of it being funny like how the inquisitors did it.
@jeremy ray mary poppins
I definitely want to see a full series about this guy.
I think there's going to be a Novel
That would be fantastic
I think im the only one Who didnt like the First ep that much. Absolutely no story... which might be the reason why the MC was so boring. The fight and art style was cool but is that enough? I still enjoyed it alot tho.. If i had to Pick what ep would be the best to make a series out of.. this would be far behind the most of the other eps.
@@xennori1409 I mean I think it was cool. So much lore without the mc barely saying a word. I really like mystery mcs especially from a 13 min episode
@@xennori1409 With it being a standalone episode, as well as non-canon, I didn't expect much of a story for any of the episodes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Kid: "What's your name, stranger?"
Ronin: "Kyle."
Kid: "Kyle who?"
Ronin: "Kyle Skywalker."
Kyle Katarn?
"Shower head for lights." The term you want is "Beam Splitter." A fantastic episode, with the real feel of a Kurosawa film.
Kamikaze Douga made a film in this 3d style called Batman Ninja. It had Batman heroes and villains transported to Feudal Japan. Written by the writer of Gurren Lagann. Just in case you're interested... it's ridiculous!
Also the Jojo Openings and Afro Samurai.
I am so absolutely ready for more of this. Can easily seen a season 2. I need a continuation of episode 5!!
I really just want a whole show about episode 5 I don’t even care if it’s not canon. That was great
I need a continuation to most of them
No spoilers but there were at least 2 that felt like they were deliberately setup for further episodes. Which I don't hate :).
@@anonymes2884 episode 5 and episode episode 7?
@@jacobolson6145 Those two sure but 8 also felt unresolved, like it was act 1 of a bigger story (maybe even more than 5 & 7) as did 3. After re-watching though almost _all_ the episodes _could_ have follow-ups IMO (even if it's just e.g. "The Further Adventures of Lone Wolf and Droid" :).
They used a gonk droid to heat up the tea kettle, haha, my favorite detail of this episode.
This whole episode felt like a beautiful blending of Seven Samurai and Yojimbo.
Also normally I’m an English Dub supporter for anime but in the case I much prefer the sub, especially with the art style which looks like an ancient Japanese sketch.
Just say you hate dub and move on
@@douglaskelley4486 I haven’t seen them all yet in both dub a sub yet so I can’t draw a conclusion yet.
@@douglaskelley4486 relax
@@thedarkknight2221 I watched the sub and dub for this episode, and as someone who MUCH prefers sub, the dub wasn't unlikeable
@@thedarkknight2221 Watched all of it in both and in IMO the dub was better. I really love the casting disney did and their voices were phenomenal.
The fact you guys are getting screeners for this is amazing. Shows you what can happen with hard work
I’m surprised these guys get it and small you tubers , but not Star Wars theory but I think I know why
@@chrischika7026 I think their mandalorian season 2 finale reaction has put them in disney's good books, I think when Mark and Favreau are on about the reactions in disney gallery they were on about Blind Wave
@@erosion271 star wars theory reaction was really big tho like trending on twitter and make contact with pablo hidlago a big person in lucasfilm
@@erosion271 The industry people naturally notice the high profile reaction channels first. Marvel was the first company to openly advertise people on youtube reacting to their things as well. Its probably Disney in general has a team of people whose job is to do nothing but check things like this out.
@@chrischika7026 "make contact" is one way to put it LMFAO. sicced his fans onto him on twitter is another
3:15 my first reaction was I hope she flies with it to piss him off lmao
That wasn’t flying. It was falling with style
@@Gillyexp yeah I was just saying when I saw it I hoped she’d fly with it lol
I also was piss that they use the umbrella lightsaber to fly there's something about it that looks to ridiculous.
@@jacobolson6145 he was quoting toy story xD
@@a3-radio I know lol
The way he appears and disappears reminds me of what they have always said the Jedi should live their lives. No one and nothing holding them down, just traveling where the force sends them to correct any and all imbalances. There is no good or evil, only The Force.
This guy is more old school Jeedai.
I liked this one. It felt like a mini version of that Ahsoka episode of Mandalorian.
Because they're both heavily moulded off Kurosawa, same with Mandalorian S1E4 and TCW S2E17 "Bounty Hunters"
I wish this episode was a half an hour or longer😭😭
This was one of my favorite episodes. Along with ‘The Ninth Jedi’ and ‘The Elder’ those three episodes left me wanting more story. I want more. ‘The Village Bride’ was also very good.
We got a fucking samurai Sith Collector within Star Wars 🤣
"It's really a love letter to cinema as a form expressed through George and Kurosowa - fundamental cinematic techniques, like the boiling teapot building tension toward the end. It's the cinematic legacy and appreciation of it all; there's just so much for cinephiles."
―James Waugh
The umbrella saber works because it's an ornate japanese fantasy weapon, which fits really well into the 'space edo' aesthetic, not to mention that lightsabers are themselves already based on japanese weapons to begin with
Kurosawa meets Stars Wars meets Ghost of Tsushima. This episode was amazing and did not disappoint at all.
It's come full circle, George Lucas was inspired by Westerns and Kurosawa films...This being a Kurosawa film in anime form/Star Wars
I remember in the trailer reaction and then again in this, you called the droid 4-Lom, but I could not find the droid at all.
Then you go a say "it's like an" RA-7 droid later in the discussion, but it IS an RA-7 droid!
Visions reminded me of animatrix, basically various interpretations of an idea, just like animatrix
My favorite episode is "The Village Bride" by far.
The artstyle and animation are f***ing beautiful. And the score, oh my god... the SCORE!
Top tier writing, top tier artstyle, top tier animation and top tier music.
It's just so good
I believe Kevin Pekin was in charge of the score for that particular episode. He also does made in abyss, Tower of God and rise of the shield hero.
I loved the village bride! The music reminded me so much of the score in Princess Monoke (it probably helped that both involved stories about indigenous Japanese tribes). But yeah it was definitely gorgeous. It wasn't one of the episodes that was on my radar coming into this so it was an amazing surprise!
The soundscape in that episode is so grand I feel like I watched it in theater. The larger than life tone fits so well with the interpretation of the force (without saying it's the force).
@MyNameIsHarry that´s my favorite, too. It was so so beautiful, the artstyle, but also the mysticism, that I even teared up a little just 5 minutes in.
Holy crap that score was incredible. I think it's right up there with one my favorite scores I've heard in a while and top 3 in star wars.
I’ve only seen this one so far but my god this was art. Jaw was dropped the whole time.
This one leaned HEAVY into Kurosawa, but then again, he was the inspiration for the Jedi in the first place, so this is full circle!
From what I heard about the saber, his primary hilt is damaged and he can’t turn it off, so he made a sheath out of lightsaber hilts from other sith he defeated.
those weren't just first order helmets, they also had imperial storm troopers helmets, and their transport looked like the body of an AT-AT
You honestly could have made this entire episode literally just the one scene of Ronin drawing his lightsaber and parrying that first attack and I would have been satisfied.
This is was one hell of a way to start off a new series
What I really loved about this episode is that you can see the sith training that they BOTH had: aggressive and powerful strikes to overwhelm your opponent.
absolutely just watched every episode at once, very much enjoyed all of them. One of my favourite moments in a later episode "the ninth jedi" spoiler was when the others got their sabers and they all turned red its was very intimidating as hell and actually gave me chills, my only issue with visions is that I want more some of the stories felt way to short and the endings weren't satisfying enough so it needs more, I think every studio did an excellent job animating and all the styles were great. during the robot one all i was thinking was Astro boy, I think this episode, the duel, was my number one episode and the final one was my least favourite but all were good and now I really want the music from the second episode
I feel like if there is a season two it will continue each story atleast that’s how it felt
That twist in Ninth Jedi was SO GOOD. So unexpected and masterfully done.
This twist was so COOL! A Dark Jedi who hunts Sith? Epic!!!! BTW, it's at it's best when watched in Japanese with subtitles.
While i agree the sub is better, i like my reactions in the reactors native language, i feel sometimes them reading the subs take some of the reaction magic
This one and The Elder are my favorites so far. I've watched three out of the nine episodes but The Elder topped it for me, great character building in that one.
Let's be honest the mood ring lightsabers in The Ninth Jedi were pretty sweet too. The moment dude took the saber, turned it green, and gave it a cross guard 🤌🏼
@@themagicman6078 WOAH spoilers, haven't seen it yet.
@@moldomre4838 how haven't you watched it when it's two episodes before the elder?
@@SirDinoz You don't need to watch these in order
@@SirDinoz I watched them out of order. Mainly cause from watching the trailers The Elder was the one I wanted to see the most. You're fine though, I don't mind spoilers, I was just warning for anyone else who may have checked the replies.
8:36 Eric, I see your Qui-Gon quote xD Just swap the word Sith with Jedi and it's the same quote from Qui-Gon in episode 1!
Can we please appreciate Eric's comment at 8:37 - "perhaps he killed a sith and took his lightsaber from him?" Clearly referring back to Episode 1: TPM where Qui Gon says the same about a Jedi to young Anakin. Or am I hearing what I want to hear? 😬😬😬😬😬
Eric... was that intentional and just went over your crewmate's heads?
Eric said he's trying to memorize all the movie dialogue for the Schmoedown so it's a pretty safe bet he was referencing it
@@ketchup016 Eric in a Schmoedown!? LOL! More than half the crap he says with confidence is wrong. And I see he was in two others and lost.
@@Fardawg first match was 2 points and 2nd match came down to final question.
I like how the bandits used a modified AT-AT hull as their troop transport, neat idea and all they would need is a BIG crane and some repulsor sleds to make it!
The Ronin in this kinda reminds me of Ventress after the Nightsister stuff. Character type-wise in association with the whole Sith thing.
The first episode was unbelievable. I don’t watch anime on the regular but this was beautiful and the soundtrack was fantastic
Fun fact about that first light saber kill... Se punched through that lizard man with the steel part of the light saber, that looked blunt and not pointy at all... So... DAMN!!!!
the 1st episode was insane, the visuals and the droid unloading with the z-6 was sooo dope.
Thank you, Eric, for being virtually the only reactor I’ve seen connect the Bandit Leader’s theme to Enfys Nest’s in Solo
I am guessing Eric consciously quoted Qui-Gon when he said "perhaps he (I) killed a sith (jedi) and took it from him."
This was the one I was looking forward to the most from the trailer.
Absolutely beautiful.
Quality loved animation style & story, music even had hints of duel of the fates when they're fighting on the log.
2nd favourite of 9.
That was amazing! I like how that guy keeps the crystal of every sith he slays apparently. So he must be a dark jedi then
I'm not really into anime much but because it's Star Wars I'll give it a go.
I want your feedback when you are finished. If you ever will be into manga, I would recommend One Piece. Death Note is a great anime to start too.
@@cooljo5881 I've already seen Death Note
Same. FWIW, I really enjoyed about 4 out of 9 and didn't regret watching maybe another 2. Not a bad hit ratio i'd say.
(predictably, the ones I liked least had the most of what I don't like about anime)
@@anonymes2884 these aren’t even the same as anime bozo
Just inherited 60K worth of Star Wars toys and memorabilia from the last 40 plus years! Most are unopened I’m so excited! Always loved Star Wars this is the icing on the cake!!!!
Eric: "Don't fly with it, don't fly with it" 🤣🤣
I also was like Eric so that it didn't fly.
The old sword in the umbrella trope. Sweet.
And the umbrella sheath being a splitter for her lightsaber?! Also sweet.
Straight amazing, this is the Star Wars I’ve been waiting for so long.
I love that all the items that had actual colors in the episode are the color of lightsabers. I noticed blue, red, green, purple, orange and yellow, not sure if I missed any.
Way I see it is the sheath is a battery pack. The blade isn’t inside of it, but activates when the hilt separates from it. Then it ends at a certain length.
Ronin: a masterless Samurai
I place my bet, that this man was a Sith Apprentice who decided to kill his master and hunt Sith after learning they are truly evil. kind of like if an Anakin-Type who wanted power for a purpose realized he was being twisted and said to hell with it; i got what training i need and death to all the guys who want to give me trouble.
Any which way- I like this particular visual story they've made , and the Japanese flavoring is so cool for Star Wars world design, what a great first episode!
I can't believe I waited this long to watch it. I now gotta catch up to season 2
Yoda kept near the dark side cave to keep hidden. Perhaps the crystal can do the same on a small scale
This one was my favourite out of the whole series, was soo damn cool and i loved the art style.
the ronin looks like the hero in Blade of the Immortal... this was a good first episode :)
i loved the saber sound effects...pretty awesome
Looking forward to the rest of your reactions on the different Star Wars Visions shorts, I'm especially more excited to your reaction and thoughts to _The Twins,_ The Village Bride,_ and _The Ninth Jedi_
That umbrella lightsaber is totally unique, and ronin here is a tactial genuis, baiting the Sith bandit to a trap that works well.
Now that's tactial awareness at its finest.
*Sith lady brings out Umbrella saber and the Ronin has a sheath saber*
Phineas: "Oh, we're allowing modifications, huh?"
cannot wait for you guys to watch episode 3
I came here to see Eric react to the Umbrella saber
Me too, I was also like Eric when I saw the Umbrella saber
"Don't fly with it." 😂
I could rewatch this episode for like 24 hours straight, the animation style, score, action and even the brief story are all top notch. Star Wars, Kurosawa and anime all in one, want more sequels to this episode
I loved the Elder episode too, especially that killer move at the end of the fight; want more stories with those Jedi too.
I wanna see a full series of the first episode so baddd
Absolutely my favourite Visions episode.
Absolutely my favorite episode out of the nine, love the homage to Yojimbo
That's a collection even general grievous would be proud of
That Sith Lady must've thought: I'll try spinning, that's a good trick.
This episode was so good!
A Sith hunter who takes kyber crystals as trophies is an awesome idea. Hope Disney greenlights series of this and the 9th Jedi episode. They can even be made canon with little to no tweaking.
if this team took over in producing a Berserk series than I would feel safe
The animation style reminded me a lot of the rotoscoping used in Ralph Bakshi's animated "Lord of the Rings" film.
The art style reminded me of Afro Samurai, especially the sith lord with her giant hair and wide pant legs and looking at the credits; Takashi Okazaki, the creator of Afro Samurai, is credited as character designer!
The style is very much like his original Afro Samurai comic, as opposed to the anime films which were a little slicker and in color. I think the comic even had red and the only color. Loved seeing that style come alive.
@@Fardawg Right. The art style is based on Okazaki's manga art style. So it was cool to see his art style animated since the Afro Samurai anime went with a more traditional anime art style instead. I'm glad "The Duel" is getting an actual manga adaptation which means we're getting more Okazaki art.
Initially I didn't understand why I loved so much this first episode. Then I realized that Kamikaze Douga was responsible for the first four openings of JJBA, so now it makes perfect sense for me. :) Great start for sure. I can't wait to watch Studio Trigger's stuff (don't spoil for me, thanks). :)
AHAHA THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING WHAT YOU SAY AT THE BEGINNING ive been watching you guys since December and I literally never knew what you guys were saying
I just watched them all. I think this is my favourite
There is a book coming about him, I am so excited!
the most interesting thing about the novel based on this is that the dark side straight up does not exist. there is the bright and explosive white flare and flowing and subtle black current, both aspects of the force, and both used by all force users
excellent episode
Great start. I could definitely hear hints of duel of the fates, and the choir bits reminded me of Demon Slayer.
I definitely want them to keep working with some of these studios
So glad that I don't have to click on another link to watch the reaction!
animation is such a good medium for the star wars universe
I took it that the ronin character was a Sith hunter...whereas we've seen the concept of a Jedi hunter before so he is the opposite.
I like to imagine that these stories are canon, but the stories are told in very different ways and that these stories are taken place hundreds or thousands of years after OG trilogy
They are literally not though
There are OT characters and references in these though. I'm usually all for people having their own head-canon but if it's directly contradicted by what we see on screen then it becomes nonsensical.
These are just non-canonical Star Wars stories. Doesn't mean we can't enjoy them immensely.
Exciting episode!
Small detail to Rick the Wakizashi is smaller than the shoto and is worn by Chugen and Komono rank, which is lower than Ashigaru, Kachi or Heishi we are talking classic japan though :)
Let's see some Jaws drop !!!! You guys are gonna love this !!!!!
