Top 7 Anime That You Should Watch Before ‘Star Wars: Visions’
Star Wars has taken its fair share of inspiration from Japanese films and culture over the years. Several people who have worked on various Star Wars projects have talked about the Japanese influences on their work on the series. Even George Lucas stated that Star Wars was heavily influenced by Akira Kurosawa’s The Hidden Fortress. Now it appears Star Wars is leaning heavily into those influences and giving Japanese creators a chance to contribute directly to the Star Wars universe. Star Wars: Visions will be an anime anthology series with each episode being crafted by a different animation studio. It is an all-star cast of studios with a big pedigree of previous works. To help get ready for this new journey into an anime Star Wars universe, I have compiled a list of anime that you should check out to get ready for the upcoming Visions series for you to dip your toes in the anime pool, if you are unfamiliar, or just scratch that anime itch.

Two men trudged down the trail, kicking up red dust into small clouds behind them. They’d been on the move for hours already and fatigue was beginning to bite at their feet and knees. T turned to look at F. He couldn’t have been much older then himself. Tired, drooping blue eyes betrayed a faint sadness and, like most men in the Wasteland, F’s skin was red and sun damaged. Cracked, dry lips poked through his large, wild beard. His hair was jet black, or it might have been, but grey strands had begun to weave their way through his tattered mane. In style it would’ve been difficult to tell the two men apart, but T had copper hair that glowed in the harsh midday sun. His eyes, more intense than F’s, were an icy and piercing blue. Eyes that looked through you, hard and unyielding.
