This looks ... surprisingly good?

First that I'm hearing of this and the trailer dropped about 4 hours ago. Animated, in Anime style.

I like the artwork. Not sure if the story has not been done a few times though.

I was concerned on the original announcement, because I don't love anime and find most anime styles difficult to watch.

This looks fine to me, so I hope the story and voice acting are up to the challenge -- optimistic for a good movie.

Though the outfit Hera is wearing when she walks in the double doors kinda looks more sci-fi than fantasy to me. Add a couple of pistol holsters and she'd fit right in in Ghost in the Shell.

It looks OK, but I couldn't help getting angry as the trailer chose to call out, of all people, Peter Jackson instead the true creator of Middle-earth, J.R.R. Tolkien
