The Wheel of Time: Origins

These origin stories seem to really capture the feeling of the books, the story we fell in love with. They do it so much better than t he actual live action show, it makes me wonder whether this should have been an animated series to begin with.

Love the art, love the dark atmosphere, love everything about this. Even the ones which are "original" writing like the Ogier one. This is how you adapt, the Wheel of Time showrunner could learn a lot from this.

Also most reviews here, specially the bad ones, seem to be talking about the show and not Origins. These are probably just trolls, coz I can't believe anyone would be stupid enough to review the show on the wrong page.

Still a hot mess, but at least its not an insulting hot mess. Itbstill could have been much worse. People keep on saying nonsesen about how its difficult to bring a deep world to the screen. Its not. Its easier. It means you have more answers. You dont have to show the viewer any more then what is happening to the characters at any given time. The viewer doesnt need to know about far away lands or customs. Think about it; Reality is the deepest world there is. But when movies set in real world are made people dont cry. If you are telling people a story about people in a small town in Texas, who cares if the audience isnt aware of France?

Looks like most the reviews here are for the show itself. Not the origin stories.

These origin stories really capture the feeling of the books lore.

Enjoyed these a lot more than the show and if they had this sort of story telling + narration throughout the show, (and actually stuck to the main story) then it would have been a lot better.

It's quite strange when additional materials for the main show have greater value than its parent production.

It has the right tone, the right sense of scale, distinct visuals and above all respect for source material. I guess the later one is the reason why Rammy Park is NOT listed on IMDB as a writer for these animated shorts, shame on you Amazon!

Also all persons responsible for animation should be distinguished with some sort of award! Animation is a rightful part of the story, not just illustration of text.

Enjoyed watching this only to get to the end of episode 8, to find that the end of the story is a long long way away!

Totally ruins it, as we are left in a situation where it's, will there be another series or not.

Looks like another series of books to read.

14 books OMG!
