B2MeM Day 14: The Lord of the Rings as Anime

Today's entry is in honor of Japan's many and outlandish contributions to popular culture. In anime, adult characters are sometimes portrayed as adorable, round-faced, wide-eyed children. These alternate versions of the characters are called chibis (Japanese for "cute").

Chibi Lord of the Rings. Gollum is my favorite.

Edit: There used to be the cutest set of chibi Fellowship icons out there, but it seems to have disappeared into the ether. However, I did find the mind-boggling Chibi Sons of Feanor.

...Though I do think Maedhros should have longer hair... of a brighter red...
ohmyword I'm taking them seriously!
