If Lord of the Rings had been adapted as Anime...

[Bergil]

Pros: -no need to make cuts.
-appeals to large audiance
-not all anime is "like that",Akira Toriama could interpret it at least as well as Peter Jackson.

cons: more coplaining by purists
-comes out in Japan first
-In back-to english translation, all the fighting would be toned down, the charachters would be dumbed down, and other stupid changes would be made due to desire to appeal to kids.

in case you haven't guessed, Dragonball is one of my many other obsessions.

If Lord of the Rings were made into a Manga/Anime

-Haldir would have disturbingly pink lips and wink at everyone.

-Aragorn would stab his foes with his nose.

-Arwen would be a crime boss/ninja/bubblegum priestess... with purple hair, but still end up stealing horses.

-Elrond WOULD look good in purple dresses... nevermind what Gollum says. He could wear whatever he wants.

-Galadriel's hair would be long enough to trip folks in Valinor..but for some reason its always billowing and getting in people's mouths. Gross.

-Legolas and Gimli would be too busy literally hammering each other into the ground to fight anything.

-Fatty would always be smiling so hard that his eyes are closed. Always.

-The wargs might actually look half decent.

-"Figwit" would have air time

-Manwe and Aule would have yelling matches about "Mecha" and "Chibi" styles.

-Denethor wouldn't just catch on fire-- there's be a whole smegging lightshow to boot.
