Lord of the Rings anime movie first look has fans celebrating for one reason Warner BrosThe first proper look at the new Lord of the Rings anime movie, The War of the Rohirrim, has been unveiled, and there\u2019s a wave of relief among fans. In case you didn\u2019t know, we\u2019re getting another The Lord of the Rings movie this year. The War of the Rohirrim is an anime movie directed by Kenji Kamiyama and produced by Sola Digital Arts, and the first images are garnering a positive reaction. Three stills are doing the rounds, per Entertainment Weekly: one depicting H\u00e9ra, the main hero and daughter of King Helm Hammerhand, another showing Wulf, the central villain, and a group shot with Helm, H\u00e9ra, Haleth, and Hama. All three have been met extremely well, with the consensus being surprise at just how anime this whole thing actually looks. \u201cThis is animated by a Japanese anime studio and directed by Kenji Kamiyama. They are COOKING!\u201d reads one response on X\/Twitter. \u201cThat is some of the most gorgeous animation I\u2019ve ever seen!\u201d said another. \u201cThese images are super encouraging to me and love the animation style. 100x more hype for this now,\u201d a fan on Reddit commented. This is a distinct change of pace from how J.R.R. Tolkien\u2019s universe has been adapted previously. The iconic trilogy of action movies from Peter Jackson and the TV show The Rings of Power are both distinctly western in their depictions, and it\u2019s similar for many of the Lord of the Rings games we\u2019ve gotten. Anime and Middle-earth just haven\u2019t really mixed until now, but given how common classic fantasy tropes are used within Japanese animation, it\u2019s a match that makes more sense than you might think. At the very least, it\u2019s something different at a point when this property is getting quite a bit of stimulation. There\u2019s another new movie in works, and Rings of Power Season 2 arrives in August. The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim releases December 13, 2024.
