anime makes every non-anime thing better, just look at batman and the matrix.

The spartans look like gundams now :P

And people said a couple of years ago that Bungie would never milk the Halo series.

Wait, is this seriously a Halo anime? I thought that caption was a joke.

Wow it doesn't look terrible. I'm surprised. I'm actually looking forward to this if for no other reason than to see what they have for the other spartans.

Halo Legends is made of seven shorts by five different production houses. Some probably will be more enjoyable than others.

Well...if nothing else, they have fantastic studios behind the animation and production (BONES and Production I.G. respectively)

Is it Bungie though? I didn't see a Bungie logo in that thing. Seemed to me it was just Microsoft wanting more money.

That being said though, looks like it has potential. Willing to give it a shot.

It's gonna turn out like tat awful bat man thing they did with the japanese people.

Why not just make a new Saturday morning cartoon series made by the dudes who did every cartoon int he early 90's?

The Halo series is deserving of so much more than a lame-Animatrixy, Gothan Knight-y clip mash-up.

     That is so weird! Seeing something so american and something so japanese combine. I wonder how popular it will be. I'm not sure what to think now that I've seen Master Chief doing some super japanese anime punch (at 1:30). My whole world has been shattered.  I must say though the animation looks fantastic. 

      Also I will never understand why people give a fuck if someones ``milking`` a series. I mean how does it even effect you? ``Hey those people over there are making a cartoon of the franchise they own the rights to!`` ``I know what a silly thing to do right?`` I will never understand the way some people think.

@ZmillA: I disagree. Anime makes everything non-anime look mature and considered by comparison. The Animatrix wasn't good because it was anime; it was good because someone bothered trying to find some decent writers. Halo was never good because of it's writing staff.

The story will still be dull and cliche, the characters will still be one-dimensional, but hey! We can animate Master Chief pulling off crazy ass stunts, that'll please the fans of both Halo and Naruto! We'll be rolling in the dough.

Xbox Live's new targeted demographic (adolescents/pre-teens) should love it. Old guard fans, whose mindset is locked into the game/novels mythos, will see their golden idol tarnished. Anything, other than the games myopic vision, or the novel's bland narrative, will be refreshing.

If this is actually an effort to sell Halo to the Japanese--and it succeeds--think about the impact on 360 sales in Japan. It would also explain the juxtaposition of Halo edginess, and anime fluff.

Looks bad IMO.


Btw, this trailer provived me with enough information to asume that:

- Master Chief is a girl.

- Spartans are gundams.

- Master Chief is able to perform a falcon punch.

According to accepted canon, Spartans began as children, and there were female spartans.
