This might be weird, but look how long the crotch plate is...

Page 17 OH my!!

and why does the mark 1 look more chunkier and deadlier??

...What is there to be explained about a field of flowers? It's THERE. Is the Halo universe not allowed to have flowers or something? Has there been some material that I've missed that said "oh yes by the way there are no flowers on any planets anywhere they are all gone"?

I really, REALLY do not see how adding a story about a Spartan completely independent of the MC and completely independent of the games is "reinventing" the storyline.

how about completely independent of canon as laid down by the game, the books, and basically everything else up to this point

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

I hate that picture and the scene its from.

it makes me worried.

[English Mobster]

This entire anime shit has me worried.

I just hope its going to be OK. Can't be much worse than the HGN, right? Right?

yes like how it messed up _, and then when _ and _ happened, the anime totally fucked over everything

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.

[Good_Apollo]

The Arbiter armor certainly has a samurai-ish look to it. Frankly the whole Elite social structure and everything about them seems to be derived from Japanese culture. I just don't get why everyone is making a fuss, it seems to work, it's just never been visually represented. Seems like everyone has a certain image in mind as to how they want things to be rather than what is canon or what is going to be shown as canon, which is ridiculous really.

From what I've read, the Elites have a feudal society-- same as Japan during the time of the samurais. The honor guard armor has very clear samurai influence--Not sure how the Arbiter's armor fits in. Looks too metallic; if I had to make a guess of its origins I'd say forerunner but that would require some retconning as far as I know.
