Halo Legends

This is a freaking Halo anime.

At the San Diego Comic-Con, Microsoft revealed plans to create an anime-style Halo miniseries called Halo Legends. As reported by the LA Times, "Five production houses in Japan are handling the physical animation, but Microsoft's creative staff is approving major visual and storytelling decisions." Those five well-known anime studios: Bones, Casio Entertainment, Production I.G, Studio4 C, and Toei Animation. The seven-part series will be released on DVD and "digital platforms" in early 2010 through Warner Bros.

Microsoft's Frank O'Connor discussed the project with the Times in his new position as creative director of 343 Industries, which, as speculated, is Microsoft's Halo division. "If you look at how George Lucas held on to 'Star Wars,' not just to make money from action figures but to control the direction the universe went in, you can see why we think it's pretty vital," O'Connor said of Microsoft's interest in maintaining control of the Halo franchise. "Luckily, Microsoft has the resources to enable us to do that."

Looks interesting.

They're making an Iron Man and a Wolverine anime too. I believe MadHouse is doing them.

/a/ has been even less enjoyable than usual.

Went and found the trailers for whoever cares...

Wolverine is far too gay to even comment on. Iron Man, however... KIND OF WANT. I'll definitely check it out.

I'd watch it,
just cause I've never played Halo.

I'm hoping this is a sort of Animatrix type project. Quite a few animation styles in the trailer clips. My non-animu friend showed me this, and was all excited about the Halo, and I had to explain how I was all excited about the companies involved.

Wolverine looks like it has nothing to do with the original comics. I am disappointed. Iron Man, on the other hand, looks cool.

From what I've heard, it is.

I guess this is new, but it may be taken down soon. Looks alright.
