For three seasons, Star Wars: Visions has successfully brought the Star Wars galaxy to life through anime, something many believed couldn’t be done. While the series has consistently offered unique perspectives on familiar elements like the Jedi, Sith, Resistance, and Empire, one segment from the recently released third season is particularly outstanding. This new season, now available on Disney+, includes an almost experimental episode that’s well worth watching, whether you’re an anime enthusiast, a Star Wars fan, or both.
“Black” is the last story in the third season of Star Wars: Visions, created by the renowned animation studio David Productions. This studio is famous for anime like JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Fire Force, Cells at Work, Urusei Yatsura, and Undead Unluck. The story follows a Stormtrooper’s challenging life fighting for the Empire across space and dangerous planets, and it can be a bit hard to follow at times. However, the way the story is presented is visually stunning and showcases the best of both Star Wars and the anime style. This twelve-minute segment is something you really need to see for yourself.
What Makes Black Stand Out?
I was absolutely blown away by “Black”! It’s unlike anything David Production has ever done – the animation is just stunning, with incredible line work and action choreography, all set within the Star Wars universe. What really surprised me was the complete lack of dialogue! Instead, they used this amazing blend of jazz and modern music to tell the story, which is a huge departure for Star Wars. Disney gave David Production a real creative challenge, and they nailed it. It’s a visually dazzling experience that honestly overloaded my senses – in the best possible way, of course!
You might not realize it when you watch the Star Wars: Visions short, but it was created by a highly respected animator, Shinya Ohira. He’s a major figure in the anime world, with an impressive career that includes work on iconic series and films like Mobile Suit Gundam, Spirited Away, Akira, One Piece, Pluto, Howl’s Moving Castle, Berserk, The Boy and the Heron, and even Kill Bill: Volume 1. His extensive experience really shines through in Black, delivering a visually stunning and thought-provoking story that doesn’t disappoint.
Black is Not a Happy Story
Although much of the Black segment is open to individual understanding, it’s clear the main character isn’t thriving. The Star Wars franchise has always depicted working for the Empire as difficult, but this Visions installment really emphasizes the hardship it brings to everyone involved. We never learn the protagonist’s name, but the story shows us his peaceful moments alongside the dangerous situations he faces. It’s a chaotic and gritty experience brought to life beautifully by David Production, showcasing the best aspects of both anime and Star Wars.
The Black episode feels like a captivating, dreamlike experience, open to many different understandings. Its unique structure makes it incredibly rewatchable, as you’ll likely notice new details each time. While it still leaves room for interpretation, it’s easily the strongest installment of Star Wars: Visions so far. Disney+ hasn’t announced a fourth season yet, but fans are hoping the anime series will continue.
