Halo Legends

Anime made 15 years ago looked much better, but I guess M$ has to stretch Halo as thin as they can for the kiddies!

Its not alien. Its just Japanese. There are no Asians in halo, everyone just forgot what Japanese architecture looks like and now they think its "forerunner"

TBQH: I think it would have been cheaper and easier (possibly even better??) to do this all in the Halo 3 (ODST) engine. MS owns those engines after all. But this was all about doing a Halo anime so vOv

That would actually be a lot of work, especially since they would have to create new environments and characters; then animated them. From the looks of it, this looks like it would faster, not necessarily easier, to hand animate.

So I just watched this on Youtube and I think I am going to cry. It's without a doubt the worst official Halo-related thing up to date. That broke canon in so many ways too, I don't even want to begin to list them.

I don't have much hope for the episode with the Spartan-1337, nor the one with the red Spartan chick with the tiny teddy bear, but the other ones may still not be horrible.

One thing I did notice was the the horrible changes in character volume.

It's been said about a million times before that that short is a gag episode and is not canon.

E: no but seriously bits of it were cool but why didn't the spartan have a shield?

If you payed close enough attention (although I can understand if you can't because it was bad). Cal was wearing Mjolnir Mark IV Armor which did not have energy shields, or motion sensors for that matter iirc.

Why would a prophet come to a japanes-ish place? I think those structures are supposed to represent the "alien architecture" found on that planet.

I knew Halo Anime was stupid.
Like my female friend (and anime geek!) friend said, "Halo + Anime = Bad".

I know that. What I meant to say is that I have little hope for that episode of being any good. From what I've seen of it so far, and what I've read about it, it sounds like it'll be a really silly episode, if not just plain stupid.
