They did a very good job of making it something close to understandable/filmable though, I thought. I was genuinely surprised anyone could get that sprawling mess that close. And yeah realistically I think there are quite a few fantasy series that, if you wanted to hew as close as possible to the source material, you would need an anime, basically. The trouble is, a high-quality, well-animated anime, with a non-generic art-style, like JJK, Chainsaw Man or Cyberpunk takes longer to produce than an equivalent live-action show, or at least very close to as long, and is far from cheap, too. The days of seasons dozens and dozens of episodes long, two-thirds of them filler, a la Naruto et al, are mostly gone.(Interestingly this means I actually started watching a bit of anime again! Higher style levels and shorter seasons are a good thing!)They're well-read (haven't heard the Rosamund Pike version yet but I know she's an excellent reader) and interestingly I feel like you pick up different things listening to reading, but one should also note that total time required to listen to all the allllll of WoT is 19 DAYS and 5 hours.</blockquote>
