Begun, the future of Halo has.

This is what Halo has become. I've been looking around and there isn't much complaining regarding this. Halo is much more than a game series. Its an entertainment tool. As part of the contract, Bungie will be done with Halo after ODST and Reach. Microsoft has taken over and like Jeff put it, Microsoft isn't -blam!- around with Halo.

This probably is just the first of many things to come and I'm quite sure this is a step in the right direction. Though 343 is probably working on something else, probably game related... It makes me wonder... Could this be what Halo: Chronicles turned into? Because, that never sounded like an actual game.

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

i see what you mean, but manga and anime are just like every other form of media, the bad tends to outnumber the good. There are countless rubbish films and video games but that doesn't mean I've written off films altogether and I don't make statements like "i hate video games". Also not all anime/manga involves the whole big eyes and ludicrous hair styles, and the terms span every genre, its just what the japanese call cartoons and comics.

I don't know why you would say that Halo has gone anime. If you are talking about the new style look in Halo 3: ODST then you would be wrong because the game has a Film Noir Look and feel to it not an anime feel.

yep they would be examples of bad anime (or ones I don't like anyway)

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...


i agree with his post 100% anime that ive seen is all about them doing so -blam!- stuff then adding like dogish ears on humans!!!! i know alot of u like anime but for halo they will probably have cortans and chief as a couple and thats just weird i will have to vote against this

For those who say anime is -blam!-, please stop watching the stuff on Adult Swim or Naruto, that is not what all anime is. Watch Akira, Ghost in The Shell (movie), RahXephon, Beck, Hellsing, Gungrave, and ect. Those are good and not over rated trash like Naruto and most of the anime industry

Agreed. When I first saw that picture I though "Wow this looks awesome!" I thought they were some kind of jets, but when I zoomed in I saw this. What are they thinking? Space bikes with dual miniguns?

Rule 6: Respect the Admins

“It’s their website, and they can do whatever the hell they like with it. You’re a guest, and hassling them about how they run things is akin to going round your Auntie’s house and curling one out in her tea-pot.”

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.....


Star wars was animated yes, but misses the mark on being an anime. The best way to understand anime is to look at, Early Gundam, Naruto, inyuasha, death note, etc.

They all tend to be very bloody, violent, and filled with alot of what bungie classifies as -blam- language.

1) Those weren't Anime.
2) The 2D one was awesome.
3) The CGI one sucks hard.

I actually think that may be a different armor. EVA is a bit different looking. However, I could be entirely wrong.

Not a fan of anime, watched the start of naruto, first 50 episodes were good and then it got stupid.

Same with hellsing.

Since this is just a short series, maybe it will be good.

Anime series suck, eventually they get full of filler.

ME2 was known for stupidity and being retarded

Just what Halo needs...

  • 07.23.2009 3:57 PM PDT

Exactly both akira and GOITS are amazing, people don't realise theres more to anime than the whole big eyes/stupid hair thing

also anything done by studio ghibli is worth watching (with a couple of exceptions *points to porco rosso*)
