Microsoft is making 7 halo animies, and Ubisoft is creating 3 live action shorts (similar to Halo's) to advertise for AC2. I think the only think im looking for is the AC2 shorts.. halo anime would be lame.

Its not what you think. You'll see. :/Originally Posted by Masterz1337
Oh also Modacity now needs an anime section for the halo anime...
...
Goddamnit Microsoft....
Yay, a Halo movie. I'm so excited.......
Wait, what is an amina? Oh wait, you said Anime?
Fuck.
Yes. The second picture just looks cheesy tbh.
At the very least, we may see some nice-looking fight scenes. I do not bank on much more, but the Neill Blomkamp stuff at least looked decent. They could probably pull it off in an animated context as well.
I've been disappointed by all of the out-of-game (and hell, even in-game) storytelling - I am fond of the universe and all its lore, but not much else. If this is anything like the HGN or the Marvel comics I won't even bother with it. A decent storyline could be done, but somehow I doubt it'll happen, especially if they're going to be jumping around the timeline like they said they would in the article. The books have at least been bearable means of developing the lore, but I haven't found myself wanting to read them more than once unless it's to double-check some facts about the universe as a whole. I have yet to see any really quality characters come from what we've seen so far, and I doubt the ability of an anime to survive from the lore alone as the games have.
I think they've kinda set themselves up to start in a corner - by definition the Spartans aren't allowed to die unless they start following the Spartans that we already know get killed from the books/etc - they can't really place them in any situations where we feel like they're in danger. Of course, if they do something with Fall of Reach this would change, but even then we already know the outcome. The format they've chosen isn't so good either. Unless they're linked together (which the article would imply isn't the case) I don't think they can cram in a decent story for each individual episode.
Then there's also the issue of whether or not the story universe will remain intact following this. I don't want a bunch of useless shit getting tacked onto the lore for a spin-off that will probably be mediocre at best. (Think of the stuff we all saw from the canceled Halo RPG and tell me you're not worried about this too).
Also, I would like to state that I am very nervous about this following one of the many horrible anime story cliches. I will vomit shit in disgust if this is about an ordinary high school boy who discovers [x] (potential candidates : a forerunner artifact, that he has super-powers as a result of a forerunner artifcat, that his sibling/friend became a Spartan) and has his world turned upside down as he searches for the truth and tries to balance his new life with his friends and family. They should at least try to make this distinctive.
...Actually that last option could be a bit interesting compared to the others.
Oh, and here's a particularly horrible thought : Jpop OP song set to the Halo theme.
One more to haunt your nightmares : grunt moe.
That is all.

Fuck. Yes.
FUCK. YES.
I'm going to go cry tears of joy now.
On another note this confirms my "Halo stole stuff from BGC" :conspiracy: theory.

Ok, is it just, or do those spaceships that the Spartans are riding on look completely ridiculous and implausible? They don't capture the Halo feel very well. I also have a feeling that this won't stick to cannon very well either, due to Master Chief being there, with other Spartans, all using the new Mark VI armor. This would say that the game happens after Halo 3, where most of the Spartans are dead, and Master Chief is stuck outside the galaxy.
In short, I find it looks lame, and that it will fail.
Star Wars tie fighters? :o
:\
hey guess what,
I lol'd upon opening this thread
