HALO Anime. It's official (Trailer released)

[RAMA]

It was announced at Comic-Con. The anime is going to be called Halo Legends and this will be done like the Animatrix and Batman: Gotham Knight movies. Looks cool!


The Trailer

I don't play video games, but the Halo series seems to be kind of an action version derived from a lot of literary SF space operas.

It seems like a lot of people who watched it arm being overly critical because it's only a trailer that announces that the project exists, and who produces it. It doesn't look like a trailer meant for mass consumption.

RAMA

Okay mods hoping you haven't seen this thread yet, if not why does this not earn warnings?


As for this project, it's their Animatrix. People choose to ignore parts of franchises all the time. If you don't like this, don't watch it.

Yeah I keep forgetting that unless you want to cum uncontrollably all over the place about a TV show or a book or a movie because it's just so awesome, you're not allowed to talk about it. Heh, silly me.

Anyway, the Animatrix was pretty shitty as well so that does nothing to change the fact that anime is over hyped cheap looking crap that seemingly attracts only the most broken and pathetic individuals or retarded children to it's fandom. It is a damn shame that decent animation is so often passed over for it.

Also:

MAN DAT SPARTAN IS SO SUPAH KAWAI ^_^ YEAAAAAAAA OMG DESU DESU EHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE

Oh right, that's the style.


P.S. please don't spam the thread up with catgirls and Gundams, jsut so we're cool

 

[Kelthaz]

Woah, what's with the hatred for anime? You're think Star Trek fans would be a little more open minded.

Anyway, I've never been a big Halo fan, so this doesn't interest me too much. I'll check it out if it gets some good reviews, otherwise I'll pass.

 

[Tyson]

Not so open minded that our brains fall out.

Careful or I'll launch my chinpokomon at you.

You're free to hold your own opinions about anime and express them, but you've crossed the line here.

Infraction for trolling

It's only a first look teaser. The bigger previews will be released on XBOX live before this movie is released on dvd next year.

I'm kind of annoyed this turned into an anime bashing topic...

I don't play video games, but the Halo series seems to be kind of an action version derived from a lot of literary SF space operas.

One of the odd things about Halo is that the tie-in novels are (from what I've read so far) actually really good. In some ways one might even say they're better than the games.

Oh yeah. The universe that the book series constructs (at least the ones by Eric Nylund could stand on its own as entertaining well-written scifi even if the games themselves never existed.

Oh, and I like anime.

 

[Blamo]

Couldn't get into the Halo series personally. Tried playing it a while back but got bored. Not being a fan of FPS gams, I should have known better.

 

[Steve Roby]

I'm moderately interested in this. I like the game (my wife and I picked up Halo 3 at a local store's special midnight sale and we played it until early morning), I've read a few of the novels, I've read the graphic novel and the first comic miniseries, and I think the Halo universe is one worth exploring in different ways.

As for hating anime... that's almost like saying you hate books. Or TV. Or music. There are different styles within anime, and a lot of different subject matter. I couldn't care less about stuff like Dragon Ball Z, personally, but I'd hate to live in a world without Cowboy Bebop.

 

[Meredith]

Meh. Not anticipating it nearly as much as this version.

Sadly to say i was brought into the Halo-verse by first watching red vs. Blue....

 

[Stone_Cold_Sisko]

This looks like crap. But it's still early.

Still, what do I know, I thought Gotham Knights and the Animatrix were boring pieces of shit (I'm a fan of the Nolan Batman and Matrix films)

Alright. As a Halo fan, I can't wait. I just hope it's better than the Animatrix and Batman: Gotham Nights (I didn't like either of them).

 

[Pilot Ace]

Those of you that don't like The Animatrix as whole, did you at least like The Second Renaissance 1 and/or 2?

I like The Animatrix and I thought that was the best of the bunch. Of particular note, I also thought Beyond, the story with the girl and her cat, was great.

I didn't care for the Animatrix as a whole but I did like the machine war episodes.

I loved the Animatrix. I actually thought most of the animated shorts were better than both Matrix sequels.

 

[Starbreaker]

Ugh... anime.

 

[God Magnus]

It's not the most ZOMG trailer I've ever seen, but it does have some nice animation in it and there are definitely hints of some cool action and design. I'll definitely check this out once it's out.

 

[flux_29]

Looks good, like the Animatrix short stories.
