I bought Halo: Legends -- haven't watched it yet. I wanted to read all of the books first. Opinions on that? I've heard mixed reviews. Seems people either love it or hate it, and for some it's both.
If I were you I would return Legends if you have any love for the Halo story. It tramples canon and made Halo look ridiculous.
OP, read Cryptum, it's a great book. Also read Evolutions. These short stories are, for the most part, excellent. They give you insight into smaller parts of the universe that you don't normally get to see.
Do not listen to this guy, it does not trample on canon at all, it has a few minor inconsistancies due to artistic interpretation, so I wouldn't regard every single detail as one hundred percent canon, especially not how people look. Ff you are apprehensive about Halo Legends, I'd suggest watching them on Netflix (if you have it) first. But as for me, I loved them all, except for Origins Part II, that was the only one that I felt really sucked
Also, odd one out is not canon. Some people seem to think legends treats it as if it was canon.
Some people hate legends simply because of the word "anime."
In all honesty, Legends is good. Some parts I liked more then others (I personally didn't fully like the art style of the duel.) But yes, if you take certain things as artistic interpretation, and not 100% every detail is canon, you'll be fine.
Is Legends something I should watch AFTER Cole and Cryptum? Or can it be started any time?
Having not read Cryptum, I wouldn't know. You can watch it any time as the different episodes take place on a scattered range of time.
Though, Crpytum has some details that make one of the episodes make sense from what I've heard.
