The Milking of the Shire AKA Here's more LOTR no one asked for

[StCoop]

Oh good, here's that LOTR anime based on a paragraph from the appendices that you've always wanted.

I'm normally good with the idea of LotR adaptations, as long as they're well done, but I'm not exactly a fan of animation.

I'll no doubt see it, but I wish it was live action.

I've often thought animation would be the ideal medium to adapt 'The Silmarillion', at least in part. And by animation I specifically mean the kind of avant garde anthology approach used by The Animatrix way back when. As for this project? Meh. We'll see.

This does feel like kind of a random topic to do a movie on, but I'm open for more Middle Earth, and I like anime.

Traitor of Mars is epic and suitable for Starship Troopers, in my opinion. I didn't remember the company but knowing what they did with Starship Troopers I have zero issue with them tackling Middle Earth. Certainly they did a better job with ST than the live action films did.

The days of King Helm Hammerhand? Interesting.
