Not a fan of Legends, not because it's Anime but because in my opinion all the episodes were (for the most part) awful.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

Halo Legends was extremely good, excluding Homecoming.

Everyone I know who dislikes it, dislikes it because they disliked anime in the first place.


I'm not a big fan of anime, but I'll recognize when it's good. The only anime I really like is One Piece and Dragon Ball Z.

But Halo Legends... it was just horrible, canon wise. If we considered it all as non canon, than yes, it was great. But from a canon point of few, it's disgusting.

Origins was truely the only one I liked.

You might know this, you might not, but Odd One Out was completely non-canon, so there really didn't need to be any plausible explanation for anything that happened in that episode. It was just a crazy "let's do something fun" kind of thing.

The Duel was non-canon as well.

Um...NO :P Odd One Out was the only story that was non-canon in Halo Legends. When asked about the size of the Hunters Frankie said they can get that big, because the size of the Hunter depends on the gravity, atmosphere, and environment of the planet. And the Hunter didn't look anything like a Gundam, the Prototype suit kinda did, but not the Hunter.

The Elites were compared to Feudal Japan way before that episode of Halo Legends. Why is it a surprise that Japanese animators would expound on and heighten the similarities to their own culture when they saw it? Americans do the same when transferring a foreign series over here to America because it appeals more to the national culture than something completely foreign would. Like when Super Sentai (or whatever it was called in Japan) made it over here it became Power Rangers, and I can bet you that Power Rangers is very different from Super Sentai, especially culturally.

We've never seen a female Sangheili, that might indeed be what they look like, we don't know, but I don't think that Han's appearance is entirely accurate. 'Cause while all the stories are completely canon, not all the appearances and such in the series are, it's called Artistic License, pal!

the duel was canon it explains why the role of arbiter went from an honored role to a martyr type of role

They were all brilliant.

The animation was good, the art styles were accurate and very appealing, the presentation and pacing of the stories were very good and they were filled with no plot holes.

Overall, very good, a 10/10 brilliant if I had to rank it.
Here's a rank of each episode:
Origins 1: 10/10
Origins 2: 10/10
The Duel: 10/10
The Babysitter: 9/10
Homecoming: 8/10
Prototype: 9/10
The Package 10/10
Odd One Out: 8/10

Fix'd.

I was satirizing the mentality of the kind of moron that enjoyed tripe like Legends. You know, the kind of people that are so stupid that they use emoticons.

I liked Legends, my only problems were that it was kind of hard to see what's happening in the Dual (could be my eyesight) and in the Package, John, Fred and Kelly just ran through a covenant ship as if they were playing on difficulty easier than easy.

Other than that, it was pretty good.

The problem with The Duel is that the morons who made it took a couple of ugly, barely animated models and put them on screen with the most contrived dialogue then went nuts with the Aftereffects filters.

Also, "Halsey's" (no way was that her) rehashing of Cortana's lines was so painful it made Miranda's "To war" one-liner look like goddamn Shakespeare.

I liked it. Well, i liked all of it except that one show that had the spartan fight the giant dinosaur thing. That didnt sit too well with me.

Sangheili Major: "Brute ships. Staggered line! Shipmaster, they outnumber us, three-to-one!"

Rtas 'Vadum: "Then it is an even fight. All Cruisers, fire at will! Burn their mongrel hides!"

I wasn't too impressed by Legends. It just didn't have that...Halo feel to it.
None of this can come from a dislike of anime. Hell, I'm a freakin' nut for anime. I love it.
Really, though, the only episodes that I found decent were Origins, the Package and the Duel. And all of these had their faults in my mind.

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

They were all great stories. I think most people didn't like it because they just can't comprehend a anything that doesn't resolve around explosions.

What happens when one is married before being granted the title of swordsman?

And do not even bother answering that question with speculation.

SAURIANS

Well it is a good thing that they are from a totally different biosphere and not subject to what we define as Saurian.

Oh wait, you just implied that.

Because western culture is best culture. Ethnocentrism ftw!

I presume you have read the Cole Protocol. What is your opinion on that?

Just ignore Lord Slade, he supposedly claimed he was finished with Halo and was quitting it forever. However, it seems he's having some trouble letting go.

Haha. Excellent! All those abridged videos were hilarious.

Here's a question I have. At the beginning of the Package Master Chief asks what would happen if they ran out of time. The captain of the ship replies that their only choice would be to annihalate the Covenant fleet, the package and your entire team. Is that clear enough?

Who does he think he is? They are only 1 prowler-esque ship against a Covenant fleet. Even if they're were UNSC ships oncoming MC and the gang would have had more then enough time.

Halo doesn't belong in anime, it was western from the beginging. Transitioning anything to another culture is always a bad idea.

Artistic license:
1. Asian buildings, the ancient ruins have always been gray and advanced.
2. The characters don't have faces, their noses are lines.
3. Their hair, I don't have to go into this in detail.
4. Dr. Halsey is shown as a young blond, she is old and has grey hair, when she was younger she had dark brown hair.
5. Odd One Out, the whole thing was non-canon but they took it way too far.
6. Every character look unnatural, too cartoony.

Halo doesn't belong in anime.

And to the OP: All caps title = thread lock.
