Subject: Darn you Japanese!

How did I escape? With difficulty. How did I plan this moment? With pleasure.

I watched Halo Legends about a month ago, but didn't bother to talk about it until now. The Japanese did fine except for two of those chapters. Well, I guess you could say they messed up with Dr. Halsey at the end episode, making her like 18 and with crazy spiky hair.

They messed up on "Odd One Out" with that excuse for a spartan 1337. First,did anyone notice they put a Dragonball Z character model into the episode? I mean cmon, WTF!? Then, they make the beings on the planet have super powers. Sure, thats slightly understandable knowing who their mom is. But ripping 50 ft trees from the ground and launching them at some oversized Brute? Then they toss some Flinstones kids in with a dinosaur pet? Were they trying to relate to Americans or trying to make some comic relief? Either way, it failed miserably.

Then, they take full advantage of the episode with the Elite homeplanet. They try to relate the Elites to them (the Japanese) and I guess they sort of are close together in culture. Mainly the whole behavior of elite society (honor system, etc.). They also threw in a Hunter that was what, 200 feet tall? Lets not forget they put SAMURAI ARMOR on an elite and gave him a KATANA. They make the fight scenes far too anime style, which interferes with the Halo Universe. Then they give the Elite homeland a Japanese environment.

Besides that Legends was fine.

I feel if that the Japanese industry took over Halo, woman in the series would end up large boobed with pink hair and pupils that made them look like they just smoked a Jeffrey. Just the kind of thing that would attract a fat lard who jcks off to hntai and plays video games all the time.

They could have improved on the Spartan models way better. I have friends who can draw a better spartan already, and I could 3D animate things up using my Maya program and its already as good as a Halo 2 or 3 spartan. I mean, did they have like a one minute deadline for the character models?

Its like the females are an entirely different race. Best part of the series was the beginning, with the flood. Or the part with the ODST sniper mission.

I hated the The Babysitter
The entire time, I just wanted to punch the "Best shot this side of Ariel (?)" ODST in the face.

Jeez guy! The Spartan just walked into a swamp to save you!

Only until you find out the Spartan has lady parts, do you finally respect the Spartan?

What about that "Be Human" chapter?

  • 02.21.2011 10:41 PM PDT

Odd one out = Not canon parody episode.

The elite homeworld has a higher gravity, and it's been said hunters can change their size depending on the planet they are on. Concerning the female Elites, they have their mandibles pushed together to form lips. Also... How the hell is that Elite's sword a katana? o_O

I never saw that one

In fact....I have never finished Halo Legends

I can't bring myself to finish the whole thing

I find myself critiquing every aspect, to the point where it gives me a headache

However, I did really dig Origins 1, Barely any CGI, no over the top action, it was telling a story.

Hunters are a colony of worms, so I guess it would depend on how many worms form together. Also, animals are known to grow larger in an ocean environment. I guess not Katana, more like a smaller "Bleach" sword. Still would not understand the function of males with no lips and females w/ lips.

Yes, I could not finish it my first time. But I just brought myself through to do it finally last month.

Did you not notice how the males did the exact same thing with their mandibles out of combat?

I can see what Halo Legends was aiming for though

It was trying to appeal to a different audience, one totally different than ours....


Did you know the Japanese grow Square apples!? That's so neat!

The significant Sangheili characters are given much more human-like faces. This was a stylistic choice to make them more sympathetic.Harka's warriors have faces more typical of Sangheili in the franchise.

That's taken straight out of halopedia

Odd One Out is non-canon and meant to be just a bit of fun.

Odd One Out was a NON-Cannon, "just for fun" episode which was produced by the original anime creators of Dragonball.

Honestly I agree with the Package's Dr. Halsey being totally screwed up, visually. Otherwise she had the right personality.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Pretty much what these guys have been saying.

1) Odd One Out is non-canon, it was made as a satirical take on the Halo universe.

2) Sangheili culture has always been said to be akin to that of Feudal Japan, there's no evidence to claim otherwise so it is a perfectly canonical interpretation.

Urgh, I hate it when people bring up the massive Hunters.

Hunters are made up of a conglomeration of worms, they can assume any shape, size and/or form they wish. Even with artistic licence it still makes sense.

I'll counter your paragraphs bit by bit.

1) Artistic liscense.

2) Parody.

3) Elites were always samurai-like with their codes of honor.

4) Generalizing cultures you do not understand isn't smart.
