An animated Silmarillion adaptation would be amazing, and I think it could actually do justice to the epic scope and scale of the mythos in a way live action couldn't. Would be amazing to see a well-done series in a beautiful art style like this one, or even an anthology with different studios adapting different parts of the story with their own artistic style and visual approach.
Bastante buena. Muchísimos errores en las imágenes de Mordor, Isengard (Orthanc), Minas Tirith, y hasta de las casas de la Comarca. Galadrial más joven que Arwen, casi todos con orejas de elfo... La verdad, 4...5 puntos en general.
So, you all might not know this, but the animated movie The Hobbit by Rankin/Bass from 1977 was in fact already an "anime" movie. Many of the artists who worked for Japanese studio who created this film went on to form Studio Ghibli, Hayao Miyazaki's world famous animated movie house. The late 70s anime style was already pretty close to the 80s.
Those versions definitely have their charm. I enjoyed them a lot as a child. I love the look and feel of the hypothetical series in this video, but yes...the Rankin/Bass films are for sure our anime LOTR.
Thank you, it makes me happy to see a comment like that, really 🙏 If my videos can inspire, relax, make people happy, I'm happy too. There is nothing more motivating ✊🔥
The drawing looks like an 80's anime and sometimes like an western cartoon of that era. But the colors are more similar to modern anime/cartoons. They should be more saturated.
Having this done in the hand drawn style of the 80s would be epic. But it would be so much work, would take almost an army of animators always being on the same page and even then, it would be a years long endeavor, but damn would it be worth it
Mindblowing stuff! I like all of the random scenery shots. A lot of pages in the books are dedicated to just describing how the natural world of The Lord of the Rings looks, and while New Zealand has some great locations; it doesn't quite match Tolkien's vision, imo. But here, the AI effortlessly generates wonderfully magical looking sceneries. I think I can see some of the source materials' styles and aesthetics, like Vampire Hunter D. Always loved those animes. I need this technology to evolve, so that actual moving images can be produced, using it. But again: amazing images, and I also like your choice of music; really creates a kind of eerie, epic atmosphere.
It's impressive how different this is from the movies. Impressive in a good way, don't get me wrong. I especially liked the pieces for Mordor and the Nazgul.
Arwen and Elrond are half-elves and shouldn't have pointy ears. When Aragorn first met Arwen as portrayed in the appendices he does not realize she's an elf.
This looks awesome. If AI I would love a basic description of the process that describes what source material it uses and what tweaking happens after. I think most people assume you literally type in “Give me LOTR as an 80’s Anime “ and this came out. If it is more work than that an explanation would actually give the human creator more credit
Hello, Firstly, I would like to thank all the people who leave their likes, their opinions (I read them all) and who subscribe to my channel 🙂🙏 After reading your reviews, yes I'm more aware that it's not exactly like the 80s anime, that there is a mix of many things. I'm trying to improve. Be patient. Don't forget to watch my other videos. Thank you. ❤
To be fair and honest, anime didn't develop into its distinct style as everyone would know it as until the 90s. It began sooner, but Anime studios were still drawing heavy inspiration from Western studios due to how Osamu Tezuka, the Grandfather of Anime, based his style on older Western Animation. Japanese anime started with clear Western influences and developed its own style over the decades. And now, the roles are more reversed, with anime's design being a clear influencer of Western animation.
When I was a kid, I watched the Ralph Bakshi Lord of the Rings and Fire and Ice all the time. I would go to this place called The Video Library and check them out regularly. It was sort of an obsession. I loved the Saturday morning cartoons Thundar the Barbarian and Dungeons & Dragons as well. I watched quite a bit of Star Blazers, Battle of the Planets, Robotech and Thundercats. If this Lord of the Rings was made into a movie or anime series, I would watch it with similar devotion and love. The settings and characterizations are wonderful.
Y'all...A Japanese animation studio called Topcraft did the 1977 Hobbit film.. before it reformed into Studio Ghibli. The only reason it doesn't look like "anime" is the designs were done by Rankin/Bass
@@rustmonster1e You have to remember that it was not uncommon for Western animated films and shows to be done in Japan back then if they were done by studios not named Warner and Disney, who basically had a lock on the Animation Studio landscape back then. Most animated films and shows not done by either were actually done by Japanese studios, as the studios would be cheaper, but the other company paid better than what they could get from their own networks. Miyazaki's dislike is more due to the fact that his works were meant to draw on Japanese folklore and such, and didn't want the comparisons. But one needs to keep in mind that a lot of Ghibli's style was developed from doing Western works, as well as using older manga and anime designs, specifically Osamu Tezuka's works, which are very clearly influenced by Early 20th Century Western Animation, specifically Warner's earlier works.
Just Imagine that in future with a computer and AI powerful enough to simulate whole movie/anime precisely by the story, with simulated imagery, sounds, voices. I feel it like not far too long to wait, just look at whole deep fake thing, It is fascinating
This makes me feel nostalgic for a TV show I watched as a kid.... but that never actually existed. It captures the feel of Middle Earth in a very distinct way that ROP sadly never managed to touch.
If I'm not mistaken and I know I'm not because I own them. The LoTR and the Hobbit were originally animated way before Peter Jackson did live action versions of the books.
Very well done. And while it isn't fully like an 80s anime, it shouldn't be an exact copy of the methodology either. This gives it its own air, which any animation studio would want. Yes, design inspirations tend to be somewhat standard, which is how you can tell anime these days, or at least what was inspired by anime. But anime didn't fully come into its own current design standard until the 90s. Anime studios actually did a lot of work for Western Studios, which is how anime designs up until the 90s actually looked a lot more similar to Western designs. Oh, they had their own factors that only appeared in Anime for Japanese audiences, but the work for Western Studios kept a number of anime studios afloat while they built their own names. And anime was originally inspired by Western animation to begin with. Granted, we're talking about Western animation from before the 1950s, which has its own style. And anyone who has seen things done by Osamu Tezuka, who basically founded the anime industry, can tell where he originally drew his influences for his style.
Sauron was known to be super handsome in the ancient times but lost his good looks (Fall of Numenor) and then his body altogether (War of the Last Alliance) and has since been the embodiment of seething. So this might very well be accurate portrayal. Anime makers clearly just decided to keep him hot because why not.
The Hobbits were perfect. Gandalf, Saruman, and the Nazgul were all awesome, as were the nature pics. My favorite was the Prancing Pony. Aragorn looks weird with no beard. Ents were ok but seems like that would have been the coolest design to do, and it could've been better.
There’s already an 80’s Anime for LOTR (The Return of the King only).. Rankin-Bass did it with Topcraft of Japan.. Look it up.. This looks more like if DC Animation Studios (anime inspired) did LOTR..
I would love to see Lord of the Rings be turned into an anime. Of course all companies care about is rebooting or remaking movies. Not all are bad but id rather movies have their own anime adaption instead.
This is definitely a big step up from Rankin Bass' animation and it makes Uruk-hai distinguishable from Orcs. This is the first look we get at Sauron's face, without an iron mask. Gollum looks almost Warner Bros. impression of Dobby the house elf. So many lush and beautiful backgrounds as well morbid and dark ones.
Love the work... Although the Rankin Bass makes a great 80s version of the story... This definitely pulls the Japanese anime into the world though. If you do another series... maybe Dragonlance?
@@teleriferchnyfain I don't like the art style on the Ralph Bakshi film, it's very minimalistic, I feels like it paints medieval fantasy material cultures in a bland, superficial way. Kind of like how we modern people would think those primitive medievals would have lived back then, if we didn't have any evidence of what they actually wore and the objects they could create and use. It's impressive how intricate artefacts from the past were, and even from way more ancient times than the medieval times. I've been blown away by many museum pieces. In a fantasy setting, things would only be more detailed, more over the top, rich and complex looking. Ralph Bakshi is a great artist and I love Fritz the Cat, Coolworld and Wizards, but his style does not do Tolkien justice, while these AI generated (and certainly handpicked) images definitely do it for me.
OMG Yes. This looks amazing. My dream is someone will come to their senses and make a legit adaption to all then books in animation. None of this Amazon crap they got out their now. GReat job.
The Tolkien purist in me can't help but pick apart each and every single lore inaccuracy in these pictures, which is what's kept me from ever properly enjoying the Jackson films. Still, can't deny, some of these pictures are very cool.
Was gonna point out the inconsistencies before I saw it was made by AI. They’re all pretty cool just the same, but here they are: -Gandalf and Saruman should have regular ears as they were sent to middle earth in the form of aged men. -Nazgûl should not have eyes as they are wraiths and so their bodies are invisible in “our” world, like when Frodo puts on the ring (which is why he can then see their bodies). -Peregrin Took, along with the other Tooks and most hobbits are blonde. Frodo is among the few with dark hair. -I wouldn’t call Sauron fair here, but he is cursed to basically always appear ugly because he previously used his fair form to deceive the elves. That’s why he’s clad in armor. -Arwen should be obvious Again though these were all cool to look at I bet it would make for a great series.
Some of these are close. As someone who grew up watching manga in the 80's I can tell you these aren't nearly dark, gritty, offensive, dirty and graphic enough to be 80's anime 😂
Overall Excellent. 2 bones to pick Rivendell should be more outdoorsy The shire homes are (mostly) holes in the side of hills, not homes on top of the ground. Otherwise I'd love to see this as a full series, made more like Tolkien's works than Jackson's. Three seasons of 1 hr episodes.
It's not THAT far off reality, given that some of the animators of the Rankin-Bass versions of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings went on to be part of Studio Ghibli...
There's some designs I take issue with, I feel Aragorn was generic and so was Arwen..the orcs and Smeagol are also just the same monstrous but cartoony look. Perhaps because the latter ones I criticize are following a pattern and is being cohesive. But Idk, I feel that they should be more terrifying. The rest are awesome, it's like Studio Ghibli but they hired a new team who are influenced by the charm and details of the studio, but took them in their own style. In the end, it's an AI and was definitely just using previous iterations and was making them look all cohesive, like they do belong to one art style
THE HOBBIT DESIGNS CAN NOT GET ANY MORE ADORABLE. I love their bushy hair and cute faces.
Even if this is never made into an anime, I just love the visuals and the soft, soothing music you did with this. Well done!
Thank you, I appreciate :)
Its eerie how much Legolas & Thranduil look so much like Orlando Bloom & Lee Pace.
I know itll never happen but just imagine the silmarillion stories done in this style. Damn.
expect a black gandalf the white
Why wouldn't it ever happen? You can literally just type in the parameters and get the AI to spit it out. You can do this for anything.
@@jenkem4464 could you? Id want it to be hand drawn though because it just looks so much richer. Is ai good enough to make it look THAT good? Im new to this ai stuff.

I'm not sure if you guys have read the Silmarillion but not all of it is fantastical.
It's crazy to me how well AI can render images that feel distinctly melancholy or nostalgic despite being brand new.
Which AI software does this? All the ones I tried (free online ones) are pretty shit.
It looks like actual human feces.
Who said this is AI? Obviously the "80s anime" look was created by people, it's not a huge deal to do it again.
ai doesn' invent new Art. It draws from the stuff which we already know hence the familiar vibe i suppose.
We've already seen lots of anime using this exact style. The same with 80s fantasy movies post Return of the Jedi
I like that Rivendelll looks like a cathedral. Seems appropriate
I’d love to watch something like this.
It’s insane to think that an AI rendered all these. The art style is fantastic
The video's description didn't explain that nor did the title. Also there was no intro or outro. I'd never have known, had you not said something.
Yes, these images are created by the AI. Thank you for your comment :)
Bastante buena. Muchísimos errores en las imágenes de Mordor, Isengard (Orthanc), Minas Tirith, y hasta de las casas de la Comarca. Galadrial más joven que Arwen, casi todos con orejas de elfo... La verdad, 4...5 puntos en general.
I wish this was made for real. It looks awesome. We should crowdfund this.
There was a 70's annimation film of The Lord of the Rings. I went to the cinema to see it in 1979.
If someone made this anime and ran the story at the pace of the book, it would be a massive hit.
Agreed! And it would be so good too, because they added characters like Goldberry and Tom Bombadil that weren’t in the original films!
and Glorfindel
I would love to see this as an Anime series. The animation is great!
Make it a Studio Gibli feature
This is wicked good! I love it so much. Wish they would turn the Silmarillion into an anime.
That would be amazing!

War of the Rohirrim
Bakshi
Despite the lack of dialogue I found this actually better than Amazons Lotr series
Loved how the Nazgul looked like Witch Finder Generals
More 90s but looks like a cross between Vampire Hunter D and Record of Lodoss War.
Ohhh good eye i was about to say the same thing.
both my favorite ovas ever
It does. Mid to Late 80s artwork gives an atmosphere doesn't it?
*heavy influences without question...both are such classics*
And there were yet some echoes from '80s.
Damn... now I want a movie like this! Oh and by the way, FU, Rings of Power.
Lol facts
Warner and some of the people envolved in the trilogy are making an animated movie, the Battle of Rohirrim
Rings of Power is the only show where you root for Sauron to win. He's literally the best character in the whole damn thing.
This actually looks like those modern 3D animes that Netflix makes
No it doesn't.
@@ambience273 it does
The drawing looks like an 80's anime and sometimes like an western cartoon of that era. But the colors are more similar to modern anime/cartoons. They should be more saturated.
@@ambience273 it totally does
So when does the AI expect a theatrical release? 😂
Dang, the locations are amazing. The shire and pranching pont is my favorite
This thing is amazing for moodboards, the applications are endless.
Having this done in the hand drawn style of the 80s would be epic. But it would be so much work, would take almost an army of animators always being on the same page and even then, it would be a years long endeavor, but damn would it be worth it

The best thing i have seen in a long time!
Looks like something Mike Grell would have drawn back in the early 80's when he was doing The Warlord for DC
Gondor has no sideburns! Gondor needs no sideburns! Gondor's rocking that 'stache instead.
Almost perfect. Except for: Wizards‘ ears are not pointy, imho, while Arwen‘s ears definitely are.
Arwen and Elrond are half-elves and shouldn't have pointy ears. When Aragorn first met Arwen as portrayed in the appendices he does not realize she's an elf.

More early 2000's to be honest.
Nice though.
Best yet. Beautiful art
Well it does give off Vampire HunterD and Ninja Scroll vibes. But it also gives off "Heavy Metal Commic" vibes too.
I see they cast Orlando Bloom as Legolas here too.
