I'd heard about the Earthsea adaptation. I'll reserve judgment... I'm not very keen on animation type things and even less keen on Japanese animation, so I'll likely not bother unless people like the atuan community absolutely rave about it.

Mind you, it can't be worse than the Sci-Fi Channel mini-series. I didn't see that but it was an absolute abortion - LeGuin ended up publically disowning it on her website. A shocking wasted opportunity.
