B2MeM Day 14: The Lord of the Rings as Anime

[lady_branwyn]

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!
