REVIEW: Star Wars Visions Volume 2 (2023)
May the fourth brought the release of two new animated Star Wars projects in Visions Volume 2 and Young Jedi Adventures. I have no interest in the latter personally, but I really enjoyed some episodes of Visions Volume 1. Serving as a sampler for different Japanese studios and styles of anime, ...
