I think they should make an Anime adaptation of The Silmarilion.

For those of you who don’t know what The Silmarilion is, it is the book J.R.R. Tolkien wrote and was finished after he died by his son, which explains the history of the 1st and early 2nd ages of Middle Earth.

With The Silmarilion I don’t think a live action version could ever work but an Anime just might.

It’d still haven’t to be a very big project thou. I’m thinking have about 27 parts to it.

The first 2 will be the Ainulndale and Valaquenta.

Then one for each of the XXIV chapters of the Quenta Silmarillion.

Then have the last one be about the Akallabeth.

I think if they did something like that that it’d be totally awesome.

And if that works out then maybe they could make a few additional ones based on stories from The Book of Unfinished Tales.

So does anyone else think that could work?

Yeah, with any luck, it'd turn out every bit as awesome as the animated 'Hobbit', 'Lord of the Rings', and 'Return of the King' movies.

Seriously, though, if they did a good job with it, it could be something great. Ooh, awesome idea--they could do sort of an 'Animatrix' thing with it, where they divide up the segments among various animation directors to put their own creative spin on. You know, toss a few connected segments to Miyazaki, some to Masamune Shirow, a couple each to Katsuhiro Otomo and Masoru Oshii, and keep on with the lesser-known directors. That'd be a neat way of doing it. You know, more of a pastiche of interpretations, less of a 'Peter Jackson knows more about Middle-Earth than anybody, including Tolkien himself' thing, like the movies were.
