OK. Sorry for not seeing this earlier, but i am indeed the person who suggested the Halo Anime. Here's why:
Halo as a LIVE-ACTION movie wouuld BLOW. I'm talking BIG, GAPING, PUS-OOZING ASS. Down with live-action. With all the CG aliens, and having to give all the human roles to dumbass celebrities.....HERE: BEN AFFLECK as a marine. like, some ditzy super-model as CORTANA. that's what some of today's producers would do, so we all agree that's out of the question.
Halo as a CG Movie: some potential, but budget would prove....worrysome. Like, if SQUARE did it, it'd be cool, but devoid of emotion. Like the Spirits Within.
Halo as an ANIME:
There are such LIMITLESS POSSIBILITIES in anime today, and such a BROAD spectrum of genres, it's easy to say Halo as an anime would definetly suck ass, i can admit it. ANIME is NOT defined by POKEMON and what's seen on today's late-night TV.
If you've seen Kill Bill, with the Origins of O-Ren Ishii, then you'd know the potential for a very EXTREMELY COOL Halo Anime. Not -blam!- medabots or some kiddie-crap like that. I'm talkin' ADULT anime, like Cowboy Bebop-style, how all but the main characters are done - like real people. If you've seen the opening to the CB movie, Kickin' Down Heaven's Door, that will give you some idea.
My dreams for a Halo Anime revolve around not it as a CARTOON, but as a STORY. Anime is not a cartoon. I HATE it when people simply label it and toss it away as just a "cartoon."
Because it's so much MORE.
I'm gonna go look for some pics of what i mean. Be back soon.
EDIT: Shishka, you're absolutley right, but the AMERICAN term Otaku is strictly limited to just an Anime freak. Maybe a bit more, but not nearly as much a horrifying label as the Japanese Otaku.
