Some interesting excerpts...
Quote:
4:31 - [Anime description] Flashes of planets. Very realistic looking until you see Chief who is more of a classic anime character. Some battles scenes. These have the dramatic effect of great anime. Lots of motion lines. Big explosions. Music is new, but clearly Halo.
I am becoming mildly optimistic.
Quote:
4:32 - Chief and an Elite draw energy swords and circle, preparing for a duel. People cheer. It is pretty damn cool looking. A blend of gorgeous environments and more traditional anime-style characters.
Glad to hear that it at least looks nice.
Quote:
4:39 - This dude knows how to make anime with some friggin' style. He says he likes videogames. Hooray. Showing sketches. Grunts confirmed.
More hope for the series.... at least visually.
Quote:
There will be seven episodes from seven different creators. One of these episodes is two parts, because so big. The two part episode basically goes from Forerunner flood, it seems, to end of Halo 3.
Hopes for good character development : dashed. I really, really don't see myself getting attached to someone in someone that's not even a full-length movie.
Quote:
4:51 - All stories except for "Toys" take place in the universe and are canon. "Toys" is not. It's meant to be a fun and silly exploration of Halo universe.
...Suddenly, I can see all of these jokes we've been making come true.
Quote:
English and Japanese dub/subtitles for anime.
That's a surprise. I now have a fantasy of a hot-blooded Spartan being played by the man who did Guy Shishioh in GaoGaiGar.
Quote:
5:03 - They do show Elites wearing smaurai armor. An episode named "Duel." It has a watercolor look. Sounds like this examines Elite's fuedal state before joining Covenant. Production-IG did this episode and did a "beautiful-looking piece."
:ugh: I feel like that could end up... just odd.
Quote:
4:58 - Players want to know more about Sgt. Johnson or Cortana. That's what Legends offers. It's a half-confirmation of a Cortana story. I am also half-confirming my interest in this.
I feel like that could be interesting too, but then I remember that this is all gonna be in single-episode format.
Quote:
5:10 - Some of the episodes of Halo Legends will be pretty violent and some of the stories are pretty dark. "Not pulling any punches" according to O'Connor.
Now we just need to know what they define "dark" as. Still, I'm letting myself get a bit optimistic now. I've at least gained confidence that it will look nice. Storyline(s) and characters.... I still don't know. That format keeps gnawing at anything I think could be interesting.
