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.

Hey people review-bombing The Wheel of Time - Origins: this is not the main show; this is the animated shorts that you can find on Amazon X-ray. How about double checking before posting your reviews!

Amazon made it quite difficult to find these Origins episodes while watching on my Smart TV. When I was finally able to watch them they were OK but I wish each episode were longer. The animation style is unique and I would gladly watch 15 or 30 minute episodes in this style if there were enough content to fill each episode.

I enjoyed the first season of the TV show itself but think these animated shorts could do a nice job of filling the time between seasons of the main show if only they were long enough and substantive enough.

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.

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!

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?
