great. so we’re going to do this series to death like everything else? is nothing sacred? 😔

I usually try not to be negative but this just doesn’t “feel” like Lord of the Rings. Also showing clips of the LOTR films in the beginning is just weird. The animation looks solid even if I don’t think the overly Anime character design works for Tolkien’s world.

As a fan of Tolkien it is also kind of funny to me that the focus is on the daughter of one of the coolest characters in the books. A daughter that isn’t even named.
