uhm...but adapting LotR to anime mean that it necessarily has to follow certain (asian) anime "conventions"?

just a thought.
That's true...but if Aragorn yelled, "BANZAI!!!", instead of, "Eärendil!", that would be an amusing touch, as well.

Also, instead of transforming Legolas into an even more perfectly blond-haired "bishonen" ("pretty-boy" in Japanese, for those who don't know) with a piercing glance and a deep voice, he might possibly become a tall, happy Elf.

Gollum could look something similar to a kappa (a Japanese water demon that looks something like a turtle), I suppose, except much skinnier and without a shell.

Lyta, the picture of Santa-Saruman is funny! I can imagine Gandalf returning to Bag End and saying, "Yes, Frodo, there is a Saruman." (There's a children's book my family has called, "Yes, there is a Santa Claus." I'm not sure if anyone else is familiar with it...)
