@jordanmaison.com nailed it with this take. The Lost Ones is our favorite of Visions Volume 3 so far, and it's no surprise; we were in love with the aristry, music, and concepts in The Village Bride.

Full episode out now!

If the Star Wars Holiday Special taught us anything, it's that wrecking Nazi's shit is a holiday tradition.

🌟BONUS LIFE DAY EPISODE!!!🌟

We hang with @chels725.bsky.social to talk the adorable Life Day #1 & reminisce about the Holiday Special - and most importantly, why Chewie is both the Mariah Carey and John McClane of Star Wars.

We ARE SO happy Visions is back! We discuss the historical inspirations for Aneé-san, our love for Anzellans and Ewoks, and of course..one of our faves - The Ronin.

But what if...

...we dropped one more episode before Visions Season 3 premiered?

...and what if it was a crossover with our pals @novelgamingpod.bsky.social?

...and what if it was an episode about a dope book we loved?

...and what if...you tuned in✨tomorrow✨to hear it?!

🏮💔 It is written. It is your destiny...💔🏮

Akakiri is a pitch-perfect short that serves as a wonderful tribute to The Hidden Fortress—and a perfect end to the season.

Plus, we read and discuss "Visions – Peach Momoko"!

We discovered a new appreciation for this episode, and discussed how Yuki Igarashi was influenced by "wabi sabi," and the comfort you can still find in its "imperfect" ending.

While we talk a lot about how much this episode suffers from constant, heavy-handed references, it can't be overstated just how beautifully animated and daring this episode is.
