interesting

The universe is probably littered with the one-planet graves of cultures which made the sensible economic decision that there's no good reason to go into space--each discovered, studied, and remembered by the ones who made the irrational decision.

great, and now the story will die a slow death. Can you remember any series that went anime and was a hit? Pointing at the star wars shorts.....

It's actual short films. Seven short films.
Should be fun.

Animatrix

Also did you see the production houses working on these shorts? They are all A grade

I hope this is going to be good. I love anime! :D
btw, Star Wars: Clone Wars is NOT anime!

I read this in the LA Times article:
"Studio4 C's project, tentatively called "Origins," is a two-parter that's about 30 minutes long in total and tells the entire 100,000 year history of the Halo universe. Another, from Toei, is the only one outside of the official canon and pokes fun at some of the game's characters"

There will also be a short about the history of the Spartans :D

Damn, I want to watch these. I wonder if they'll only be released on dvd/ xbox live video marketplace.

Anyway, why I clicked reply is because apparently 343 industries (lead by frank o'connor and some other guys who know the fiction) are monitering this and all other halo stuff, making sure everything is cohesive and in the direction they want to take it.

I honestly (and some of you may flame/hate me for this) hate anime. With a passion. But I just may check this out if the reviews are good. I hope this is good, because this could build or kill the Halo franchise...

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Expectations are hovering somewhere around rock bottom.

lolz. a few weeks back some kid posted saying that the next game after reach would be halo legends. its not a game, its a, uhhh, thingy. anyway, whats weird is that the kid was partly right!!!

What's with everyone's bias against cartoons and anime? Jees, there's plenty of good ones. Spiderman, The Batman, X-Men Evolution, Death Note, Blood +, and so many more.

Anime isn't necessarily something like Naruto, lulz.

Same with me. I just can't stand it and my brother is an anime fanatic. Has loads of those books and his hard-drive is full of anime. I just can't stand it for some reason. It's hard to explain...

I really hope they get the real voice actor for chief and not some -blam!- version, and stick to the story and not some random bull-blam!-. But most of anime remakes on television have been pretty horrible (transformers, if it even was anime). I hope this doesn't share the same fate.

I wish I was still legendary.

So long as it's good, I don't care. This is actually a really good way of promoting interest in countries like Japan, and as long as it doesn't make it so that the forerunners were epic thin, overly tall grey-skinned aliens, and the series doesn't look like crap, it could be awesome.

/doesn't watch anime,but liked the animatrix (from the same studio as this!).

You know, if you don't like anime, you don't need to acknowledge the existence of these Halo shorts.

I know I personally like a variety of anime, so I'll be sure to get my hands on this. The variety of studios developing this are actually really good.

Please don't be so ignorant as to knock it way before you've even seen it. Maybe go do some research on some different anime from these animation studios to figure out whether you will like it or not.

I'm looking forward to this honestly. Something new to bring to the series is a good thing. Now they just need to make a movie....

I'd like to know what anime you've watched to base this decision on, bearing in mind anime is any animation coming out of japan

same goes for you CARmakazie, also there is no such thing as an anime book, japanese comics are called manga

100% agreed. I hate all that manga, anime -blam!-, except for some few exceptions (eg pokemon, which i dont still watch, but was of course THE greatest).

manga consists of anime... and for large comics to be considered novels is for one thing, stupid. i also hate the unrealism factor of anime - the eyes, noses, porcupine hair (wtf?) and the other way that anime is done can be somewhat appalling. however, as i said, there are some exceptions - this may be one - especially if the spartans keep their helmets on

Without me, it's just "Aweso".

Why the hell does every thing that kicks ass have to put into an anime thus making it suck monkey balls?

  • 07.23.2009 5:25 AM PDT

It could work out if it was an over the top anime with excessive blood and violence. They need to use the actual voice actors, too.
