This is fantastic project, taking an already amazing edit from Adam Dens and shaping into something that, if I were to discover on any streaming site as an official release, would be overjoyed!

There are a couple of things that I really appreciate that are unique to this edit,
- The new music ques and title cards at the start & end of each episode,
- the ending to episode 3, taking the conversation between Gandalf & Bilbo regarding the ring and using it to wrap up the narrative of the episode, perfectly bridges into episode 4,

My only complaints are ones of personal taste,
- The added scenes at the beginning of the Rivendell section seemed to hurt the pace more than helping the story, I think there was a good reason why Dens removed these parts,
- I overall think this could work slighter better as 6 slightly longer episodes? Instead of 8 45 minute ones, instead having 6, 1 Hour ish chunks?

But again,

This is a fantastic way to experience the Hobbit story, taking the best of Adam Dens edit and breaking it down into a more digestible format. Good work here! Congratulations
