  Animation looks better than I thought it would be.

  Being what essentially amounts to LotR fanfiction, I am tentatively excited to watch.

    Yea … probably more hyped for this than I ever was for rings of power.

      After Amazon buttfucked Rings of Power and Wheel of Time, I won’t watch a damn thing they make based on pre-existing IP. This looks good though.

  Damn this does not look good. Is American animation really dead?

    The animation was done by Sola Entertainment, a Japanese studio. Though this studio appears to work closely with western publishers and IP for the majority of their projects.

      Not all anime looks this bad.

  I’m kinda disappointed it just looms like a generic Japanese anime?

    It has been publicly known since 2021 that it was going to be an anime.

      I really meant emphasis on generic not the anime part.

      Like the characters all look like any generic isekai cast on some 3d mapped backgrounds from scans from the movie miniatures.

      Its got a feeling of cheap and passionless like some rich guy just paid for an anime adaptation cause anime is currently popular.

      I dunno maybe I’m reading into it but my hype went way down.

    Yeah that was a bit of a turn off for me, im open minded but i already say “anime tropes” presented in the trailer that kinda make me wary.

    Still will gobble up any LOTR content.

  With the amount of great unadapted stories in the Silmarillion, I don’t know why they have to go for generic fantasy fanfictiony crap.

  Give me The Children of Húrin, give me The Fall of Gondolin, give me Beren and fucking Lúthien… any of those would make for an excellent anime or live action series, if done properly with enough respect and funding…

  Using someone else’s work’s name just to ride on their coattails because your fanfiction isn’t good enough to stand on its own is a (sadly extremely common these days) massive red flag that guarantees I won’t be wasting my time watching it.

    There’s legal issues. Embracer group owns the rights to make video games based on the lord of the rings and the hobbit, but the Silmarillion and unfinished tales of numenor is still owned by the Tolkien Estate, and they are pretty selective with it. The first age is basically off limits to everyone except Amazon prime right now.
