ITT: ross gets mad about animes

[teh lag]

let me tell you how much i care,

Lag, I don't think the fact Legends is going to be an anime is what ruins it; I think what's already been done to the story is. The method of the delivery doesn't matter.

Honestly if there was an anime out there which had a story I could actually take interest in, I'd probably watch it... but even if that was the case, I'd still have no idea what's so good about it that saying "I don't like it" brings down a rain of shit. There's defensive, which would be going for someone who actually, seriously insults it, and then there's overdefensive. I shouldn't have to put up with people arguing about it just because it doesn't appeal to me, and although I could probably understand a few people failing to pick up on the times when I'm just being a dick for shits and giggles, it seems even people who know me fairly well are acting like I insulted a dead relative or something.

Oh, that's fine.

Awesome. The new be-all and end-all of milking a franchise seems to be to make it into an anime. Brilliant.

this is just bullshit, turning halo into an anime shits the whole thing up immeasurably

Of everything that I don't like that they're doing, I really don't see how being an anime is specifically responsible for it, with the exception of the Samurai Elites - though the more I think about it (consider their Honor Guard armor) the less I am opposed to it.

Yeah, but point out one anime that has absolutely none of the typically Japanese themes and/or stuff that the Japanese would balk at but stupid white kid weeaboos go for. This is Halo, not some tale about Samurai warriors, giant mechas, or pre-teen girls.

It's just not the impression I've been getting from your posts. What you're saying now is all well and good... but what you've been saying is that it will be bad because it's an anime, and that's where we're taking issue.
