Anduin June 10, 2021 Share June 10, 2021 A Lord of the Rings prequel anime, directed by Kenji Kamiyama and written by Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews. It will focus on the Rohirrim leader Helm Hammerhand. Who is Helm? Who are the Rohirrim? For the laypeople, not the obsessed types like myself, he's a historical king who kicked the barbarian Dunlendings out of Rohan and built the great fortress we see besieged in The Two Towers. The Rohirrim are the Anglo-Saxon inspired culture we see in TTT and Return of the King. Their most prominent member was Éomer, played by Karl Urban. I'm cautiously optimistic. I hope it's good, because I'll be seeing it no matter what. Link to comment

Anduin February 24, 2023 Author Share February 24, 2023 So this is relevant here. WB renews their rights to make new Lord of the Rings movies, and plans to do so. If anyone is going to produce new Tolkien content, I'd like everything under one roof. But since that isn't going to happen, it's very much a wait and see situation. I mean, consider the Hobbit movies. That isn't a big vote of confidence. OTOH, maybe they've learned their lesson about meddling. I'm going to try and keep an open mind at this point. Oh, and it looks like War of the Rohirrim will come out in 2024. Link to comment

I desperately hope that that's sooner rather than later. 1 Link to comment

Harvey June 12 Share June 12 That does NOT look good. It looks like a generic anime. Oh well. I hope it will be good somehow in the end. Link to comment

I hope it will be good somehow in the end. It doesn't look full anime to me, but it appears to borrow from it. I'm not fond of that style either, but I can't deny it's popular. Anyway, if the story is good I'm sure it won't be too big a distraction. Link to comment
