Halo Legends - debut trailer

First clip of the new Halo anime spotted at Comic-Con
Microsoft used Comic-Con as a platform to unveil its new Halo anime series. Five production houses (Bones, Casio Entertainment, Production I.G., Studio4 C, and Toei Animation) as well as Microsoft's own newly-formed company, 343 Industries, will each produce a short, the first of which tells the history of Master Chief's Spartans. Take a look at the first clip below.

That looks terrible! The CGI trailer for halo3 was amazing so they should have done some shorts using that stuff.

It doesn't look that bad (in the way that it looks like a typical anime) but it doesn't look like halo!!! crispylog, I agree. CGI would've been better looking n a lot more in keeping with halo's traditional style!

I agree that the CGI looked much more impressive; still, I am curious to see the completed final product and I love the Halo music.

Oh no...

The animations look like Guyver. Guyver is awesome.

I think you guys are missing the point. These shorts are being made in the typical style of the studios making them, so there is no way they'd look like previous Halo cutscenes/promotional material.

a bit like the funky animated batman compilation done a while ago, i HATE the word anime, its a cartoon, anime is the japanese term for cartoon. same word essentially CALLING IT AN ANIME DOESNT MAKE IT ANY BETTER, oh and the term graphic novels sucks donkey balls covered in marmite and mustard too...... :evil:
Posted by no1rammsteinfan9
Do any of you understand the concept of the word ANIME?? Its not supposed to be spectacularly brilliant. Its an Anime.

Half of the video doesn't even show anything, more of a teaser than an actual trailer.
Posted by The_KFD_Case
I disagree. Semantics aside my personal impression is that a number of anime/manga shows deal with more graphic visuals in regards to sexual and violent themes. Now for the downright pornographic anime you'll have to turn to hentai which is a whole other ball game.
