I suppose I should lose my geek credentials, because for the first time I’ve stumbled across “Halo Legends”, an anime project similar to the Animatrix and Batman: Gotham Knights DVD’s that feature several different stories from several different creative teams, all done in an anime style. I consider myself a Halo connoisseur (even though I haven’t yet played ODST) and this is news to me.
Check out the Preview via YouTube (and GameTrailers) below:
SpikeTV also apparently recently released a four-minute clip, as well.
That’s some cool stuff right there. Supposedly this hits all formats in early 2010. Something to look forward to!
You should check out Anime News Network every so often. There’s some really great Anime studios working on this project so yeah, this is definitely going to be something awesome to look forward to.
Hate the Anime style. Just hate it, but I’ll be watching this because it looks good.
Wow, I know nothing about Halo and I’ve played the first game in multiplayer like, once, but this looks awesome! Though I don’t care about the games, I can’t deny that the tech is awesome. Looking forward to it! I hope it’s still good for someone like myself (meaning, I hope you don’t need too much knowledge of the Halo universe to enjoy it).
Looks familiar, like Robotech you know. Or Gundam series. One for every decade with variations upon the theme. In any case it may be interesting and entertaining.
No matter how you slice it, it will be better than BSG.
Blerg. I do not care for the anime style. You just cannot portray ODST as androgynous, and anime style does just that, in most cases.
That being said, I’ll still watch it, because I’m an even bigger Halo fanboy than Justin.
Oh, and Justin, you really need to play ODST. It has Nathan Fillion, Adam Baldwin, and Alan Tudyk doing voice acting, and you can unlock Fillion’s likeness for a Firefight character.
I’m with you on the adrogynous speak, Billy, that’s always sorta rubbed me the wrong way, with the ODST, it seems a bit more glaring. But the action still looks bad ass.
Thanks for the recommendation on ODST. You had me at Nathan Fillion! And Adam Baldwin… and Alan Tudyk. That’s all sorts of cool. It’s in my Gamefly Queue, but it’s buried under Arkham Asylum and Ultimate Alliance…
