The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim Anime Now Available Online

The animated film The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim has officially landed on streaming platforms, just two weeks after its theatrical release on December 13.

The War of the Rohirrim serves as a prequel to the original trilogy. It tells the tale of King Helm Hammerhand of Rohan and his battle against Freca, the chieftain of the Dunlendings, as well as the fates of their descendants, Hera and Wulf.

The anime has received mixed reviews, with a score of 54 on Metacritic and a 46% freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics noted that while the film has some emotional moments, its story feels lackluster compared to Peter Jackson's epic adaptations.

In related news, the second season of Squid Game premiered recently, with all episodes now available on Netflix.
