Like, it's not even close. The 1977 cartoon is crisp, has beautiful artwork, and more closely matches the spirit of the books. Jackson's Hobbit trilogy meanwhile is a bloated mess. I was so bored and uninterested I couldn't even finish the third movie.
Finding out that The Hobbit is actually anime is a real "Waller Frey eating his sons in a pie" moment for me (I am notoriously anti-anime but in kind of a good natured way).
