LOTR: The War of the Rohirrim Review | Tolkien Gets an Anime
Titled “The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim“, this anime adaptation largely succeeds in captivating fans of Tolkien’s work, yet it encounters similar narrative pitfalls as contemporary film adaptations. The extended tale revolving around a valiant princess battling to preserve the Kingdom of Rohan tends to overstay its welcome, with the 134-minute duration seeming lengthy at times, oscillating like a cinematic roller coaster between fast and slow segments. Fortunately, the top-notch animation, stirring music, and well-crafted character development help mitigate the usual pacing problems often found in this franchise.
