Halo Legends

[English Mobster]

Well.
There goes all mystery about anything.

And through the eyes of Cortana? Seriously?
She hasn't been around for 10,000 years... Although she WAS in the Alpha Halo network, so I suppose she may have video...

there's still plenty of mystery about the series; just not as much about the forerunners (and keep in mind this won't tell us EVERYTHING about them, just bits and pieces)
besides, this is a franchise; over time it fills out with information, and if you expected anything else, you're dumb.

I distinctly remember Frankie himself at the ODST launch event saying every one of the shorts except Odd One Out was canon.

Well I'm not accepting it as canon. It's not what I want.

E: Someone fix

And because it's a franchise, every bit of information added after it became a franchise is tasteless and generally downright repulsive.

Bingo!

Well, origins part 1 is on Waypoint. I couldn't find a youtube video, yet. Somebody will upload it eventually. Anyways:

Besides the fact that someone else is voicing cortana (wish they would've hired Jen Taylor, but whatever.) I thought it was ok. (I also seem to be an optimist cause every time I say its ok or good everyone else hates it.) I guess that this proves that there are no surviving Forerunner anywhere at all, and that Halos do kill the Flood itself and all sentient beings.

They did well with their portayal of the forerunner. They kept them hidden behind their environmental suits (remember Halo 1? GS remarks at John's suit's class). Though, it does look a little too Mcgyver-y. As the forerunner were suppose to be somehow tied genetically to humans it doesn't do any harm in how they did their autonomy.

However, it still leaves the question as exactly how we're tied. Maybe the then human race was a few evolutionary steps down from the forerunner as a species? They possibly wanted to study early human species and life and thus re-engineered the dna and had earth seeded but then the flood come and kinda messed with their R&D.

Will be interesting to see how part 2 plays out

[Kalub]

Halo animes? Any links to full episodes?

Forerunner energy swords. O damn.

[Delta4907]

It seems like an energy sword, but I think its some sort of beam weapon.
