We love Star Wars here at Big Shiny Robot, and it’s no secret that many of us bots also enjoy classic anime such as Robotech, Gundam Wing, and other series that defined the genre of sci fi / mecha anime. Well, Otaking77077 has done something truly impressive and brought Star Wars and Anime together with incredible success in this anime-style Star Wars video.
The detailing and coloring are full of depth, and the animation is really brought to life through an awesome interpretation of the heavily stylized sci fi anime of the 1980’s and 90’s. What I like most about this, though, is that the style has been modernized with a bit of polish. Originally there was no audio, but Youtube user SuperMulciber has added the track “Sleigh Bells” to match the fast-paced action (I like the video both with and without the track). Honestly, I really hope this short becomes a full length feature!
Geek Girls note – I think it’s awesome that the animator has included this ultra-badass Tie Bomber Pilot:
Otaking77077, we salute you.
