The retro revival continues 

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2024-07-01/clamp-magic-knight-rayearth-manga-gets-new-anime-project/.212711

honestly not sure how to feel about this given the lack of details at this point. Both seasons of the original tv series are in my all time favorites & I think it’s my favorite CLAMP series overall. Updated visuals (like they did with the Sailor Moon Crystal movies) might be nice, but I’m hoping they don’t attempt a sequel after all this time given my impression of CCS Clear Card & Yashahime. And I didn’t like the alternate storyline OVA  at all.

I wasn't sure about that either, MKR is one of my all-time favourite anime series and I don't really see why it needs a new version, it's not as if the series is out of print and unavailable, there's a Blu-ray box set due out next month. Like you I hope they don't attempt to do a sequel as I have very mixed feelings about CCS Clear Card but I don't think we're ever going to see any more of that.

I posted this in another topic, but will post it here too

Almost a year away before the first half airs so delays are still possible, but hopefully they are taking the time to do a quality final season.

YAY!!!! 🙂 Good News. Yuru Camp is such a great series.  I hope the biker girl, whose name I can't remember, is in the new series because Rin needs a fellow biker and the two of them got on so well together in the 3rd series.

Just saw on ANN that we’re getting another anime take on Anne of Green Gables. Not actually hype but find it kinda interesting that the works are continuing to get representation I know there’s been a couple anime adaptions & it was referenced  in R.O.D. TV series (parallels  between Anne/Diana & Anita/Hisami)

They are releasing an anime LOTR prequel in theaters. The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim

I watched it last Friday and it was pretty good!

Details please (you can always hide them in a spoiler tag). Was it actually based on a book or is this something they made new? 

It was based on events told in one of the books (I think the Silmarillion?), although it was a bit too long in my opinion, some scenes could've been shorter since they felt artificially extended, the parts that were cool were absolutely a blast. I'd rate it a 7.7/10

Yeah, there's a lot of that in LOTR. I mean Gandalf knows eagles. They couldn't have just flown the ring to the volcano?

They could've, but Gandalf didn't own the eagles, they were their own players in the world and weren't necessarily willing to go into evil land for an old man they get along with

Well I guess they could have, but they would have been rather obvious and easy to see and would be easy targets for the Nazgul and for the last few miles they would have to fly into enemy airspace where they would have faced continuous airborne attack from the Nazgul and ground based attack from the Orc armies. The Hobbits and the Ring would have been captured the second the eagles landed.
