If Lord of the Rings had been adapted as Anime... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

If LOTR was anime I'd lock myself in a trunk and have someone throw me into the ocean. I shudder to think.
But I must say last year my friend and I had the idea of having an all out war of LOTR vs. Anime. But neither of us can draw so it never happened. I image it would be those crazy (and scary) anime cartoons vs. Hildebrandt's LOTR drawings. I think we all know who the victors would be.

On the other hand, LOTR as anime has some comedic value. Just think of Frodo as Pikachu. "Frodochu!"
Or perhaps Legolas in the schoolgirl outfit...hehehe. No that's mean...yet strangely entertaining.
I have to agree with Maeggaladiel about everyone riding chocobos. Heck I’d ride a giant chicken if it were possible.

But when it comes down to it making LOTR an anime cartoon is a terrible idea. With the huge eyes, the crazy colored hair, and those weird mutated teardrops that seem to hover behind everyone. It's all together evil.

I think Saruman would look more like Heihachi Mishima from the Tekken games.

Tekken isn't really Anime, per se, I know.

But seein Saruman with those two lightning things of hair.

Lord of teh Rings, in the near future...with guns and gritty landscape, like a techno-Mordor, and a tropical-Shire, and a Palace of gods-like-Rivendell...and Minas Tirith will be a bustling City with flying cars...

It never ceases to amaze me how much you dudes can think of...But all the same, I'm stoked!!!

Eowyn- would probably have....white hair (not old people white hair, cool white hair)
Arwen- Angular brown hair, and bubbly blue eyes
Frodo- Big shiny blue eyes, (ooh, shiny!!) :P and the same hair
Gandalf- Would be really tall, and would have kind of a childish smile, but would look really scary and formidable if he wanted to.

These are just my standards, please don't kill me.
