I dunno, the way it looks, I dont think we're going to be seeing much of Chief or much of the action. I have a feeling the Red Spartan, that Blonde Chick, is going to be the main character, and since it shows her out of armor alot,  I have a feeling it's going to be 75% of episodes explaining story while maybe 25% shows a small battle of some kind.

This seems like a terrible idea to me. But then, I liked the Animatrix, so apparently I'm an idiot.

Could be interesting. The Halo universe is definitely fleshed out enough for something like this.

Why god (or should I say Microsoft.. )why???  They're turning the Halo I used to love to... Sounds like "Super Spartan Bros" is on the way.

@HAMMERCLAW: 360's games focus on multiplayer heavy, action-oriented stuff, while the Japanese market, for the most part, absorbs either RPG or story-driven gaming. I suppose this could be an attempt to turn them onto the 360's flagship title, but they tried that, and Halo 3 lasted like a week before it disappeared; there was only a brief flash of interest before they went back to what they normally play.

I think this is aimed at American audiences. All I hope is that the parody Toei's planning on making is good. The other seven, I suspect, will be mediocre at best, a writhing pile of dog doodoo at worst.

A huge budget film is the only thing I would think is appropriate (like Akira or Miyazaki's work) and something I would enjoy. Being that the last Halo I really played was the original.... so I've grown up.

The transitions from ok looking CG to Animation makes me think that this is like the Animatrix. Bunch of short stories in different art styles.

I would not be at all surprised if this leads to the release of Japan only anime style Halo games, IF the anime series is a hit there. This changes all the rules. It's not just your daddy's Halo, anymore.

Looks pretty good so far, especially the BONES and Production I.G. shots. I still don't understand why Toei is involved in this.

Microsoft owns the Halo IP, so saying that is like saying "And people thought Infinity Ward would never milk the Call of Duty series."

Regardless, no thanks Microsoft.

Yes, so that makes pretty much all of Japan's inhabitants jerks; all 120,000,000+ of them! An island-nation of first-rate jerks, I tell you. (oh, and of course also all the people born in the west in the late seventies/early eighties who grew up on some of those really flashy sci-fi "cartoons")

I'm not saying they are anime fiends. Anime is part of everyday television in Japan and is not something separate. And since television penetration in Japan, like in the US, is almost 100% my stereotyping is not really stereotyping.

Other than that, you do know I was trying to point out the rediculousness of the other guy's statement, right?

Damn Straight.
But, in all truth I like Bones; FMA was good however Toei Animation looks simplistic, not to mention a spartan having the number 1337 on his chest plate. AND now we know spartans are gundamns. Some parts look confusing AND stupid. Others, interesting? - if not odd.

I love anime but that looks like crap. Hopefully I'm proven wrong.


Well, I did like the one where the girl was pointing the gun at the woman's head. But the ones that looked kinda like CG seemed really bad. But you can only tell so much from a trailer so who knows.

Well duh, they finally figured it out. How does Microsoft sell Halo to the Japanese?  Answer, they don't! They let the Japanese sell Halo to Japan! Anime based Halo games will soon follow.

As long as the stories turn out to be canon according to the novels and stuff, this could be decent. Not the anime/cartoon parts though. Think the "1337" image up there proves that. But the CGI parts... looked decent.
The games aren't that good story-wise though, and most people doesn't know about the novels, or how much story there really is.
