Oh hi, that'd be the definition of a gag episode.

There was absolutely nothing serious about my post my friend :)

Well, Duel is on Halo Waypoint today. Thoughts?

Despite my connection being crap, and the odd water color effect that seems to be on it, I thought it was pretty damn good. The hunter is way off-scale, but it's nothing if you're willing to put it aside. I really couldn't find anything I didn't like that changed the way I viewed the episode as a whole.

:ugh:

Animation irritated me. First ep was at least visually pleasing to a degree - this was hard to look at. Especially when they had still frames for like 3 seconds with no motion at all. They pretty obviously used 3D CGI for this, so they should have at least made it look good.

Voice acting was irritating as well. I've pretty much given up all hope of having decent VA for this series, as this and both versions of Babystitter were less-than-satisfactory.

What the fuck? Elites w/ normal mouths (which then seem to morph into the splitjaw at seemingly random intervals)? Female elite giggling like a moeblob? Ugh. I thought she was a prophet or something at first.

The story as a whole just seemed schizophrenic. I could barely tell what was happening (Especially in the super-horde-takedown. What are modern Covie units doing in a scene from the first formation of the Covenant?) and it seemed more like an attempt to be "deep" or "complex" by being unnecessarily disjointed. In retrospect I'm starting to piece it together... but only barely. I guess I'm too unsophisticated to get the super-depth of traditional Japanese storytelling.

The Grunt scene just pissed me off. It was a really heavy-handed attempt to inject "lol randum" humor into something that was otherwise serious, and it did not work well at all.

Also the elite shogun (or whatever they wanted him to be) was fucking ridiculous, especially his final-fantasy class sword (made of metal too - HOW is it possible to think it makes sense for one guy to have a metal sword and the other a goddamn lightsaber?).

Oh, and the high-pressure-blood that put the mass-produced Eva units to shame.

The Hunter was seriously cool though. That was the one thing I liked.

In summary: watch this if you want to sit through 12 minutes of wtfugh to see an Arbiter fight a 50-foot-tall Hunter for no apparent reason.

I thought it was pretty cool overall.

Animation was a bit annoying. The way people talked, the girl elite. Really annoyed me. The whole Japanese samurai thing was stupid. Maybe if it didn't have that whole watercolor thing it would have been less annoying. Everything reminds me of the Protoss from starcraft.

Ok, what the fuck was that? <enter all that teh lag said here>

I was expecting this episode to be better than the first...but it was worse...far far worse...

Since when did the Covenant come from Japan?

since halo became an anime

well, that was horrible.

The animation, water coloring shit, the giant horde take down, the elties mouths were really bad. When there mouth moved, nothing else did. Some elites had regular, human mouths, hunters were the size of fucking 3 story buildings, the arbiter shoots out a pool of blood bigger then his body volume, and alot of other shit was just HORRIBLE.
