Halo: the Anime. -

It looks cheap. Like crap framerates, lo-res graphics... get it?

Probably an effect for the trailer.

Okay, we weren't watching the same trailer, then.

SpAM_CAN · #32 07-25-2009, 01:44 AM

The CG looked unfinished (It probably was) causing a crappy framerate in most of the CG scenes of the trailer - although it could just be my computer playing up.

Strike Witch · #33 07-25-2009, 02:39 AM

More likely the second, as it was smooth for me.

AlexFili · #34 07-25-2009, 03:28 AM

It'll be like Strike Witches but with Halo characters.

Let's wait until it's actually released before forming opinions.

Let's also wait until the next Twilight movie is released before we jump to any conclusions. I mean, it might be fantastic. Mightn't it?

Strangely enough, Thom York and Bon Iver are both composing music specifically for the next Twilight film. They apparently volunteered for it. That is the dumbest thing that I have ever heard.

I love Anime but this seems to be going too far.

xbox fan boys would be wanking right now

Liar. You don't watch any anime beyond Bakugan.

Crashpunk · #38 07-27-2009, 01:24 AM

You have got to be kidding me.
go shout at my mate who likes Wolf's rain.

I think I understand why everyone hates on Halo. I think all these emotional douche bags can't help but view Master Chief's masculinity as threatening. It probably reminds them of being shoved into lockers or kicked around for fun during High School.

Poor schmucks. I can't wait for this anime to come out. I plan on actually buying it. Pirates suck.

OANST · #42 07-29-2009, 08:58 AM

Or maybe it's that it just isn't very good.

Well that's rude. You don't see Master Chief judging your performance in bed.

OANST · #44 07-29-2009, 12:48 PM

You don't know what we talk about.

***Xavier*** · #45 07-29-2009, 11:59 PM

I'm sorry, but I'm still wondering how they could think this was a good idea:

Strike Witch · #46 07-30-2009, 12:25 AM

What, adding a human aspect to genetically-engineered super-soldiers that were kidnapped at a young age?

Of course, what a terrible idea.

Thom Yorke?

THOM YORKE?

Surely not the same Thom Yorke from Radiohead?

I hope to God it isn't

***Xavier*** · #48 07-30-2009, 02:33 AM

Strike Witch, you sound like you are defending this project like it was your own child...

Anyway I'm not against adding/revealing the human aspect of the Spartans, but I think this is perhaps a bit too drastic in comparison to what I'm being accustomed to as a regular Halo fan.

Venks · #49 07-30-2009, 03:36 AM

Spartans interacting with civilians... gasp! I'll admit the poster looks incredibly girly, but in a world where people are pressured to adopt stereotypical gender roles... go go Halo Legends!

Wings of Fire · #50 07-30-2009, 03:38 AM

Individually I like every single element of this idea.

Together? Fangirls.

***Xavier*** · #51 07-30-2009, 04:36 AM

Yep, pretty much what WOF just said...

Only one I know of. Yeah. It's him.

Bullet Magnet · #53 07-30-2009, 06:11 AM

I wouldn't have chosen an anime studio to do this. I foresee... Gundam MJOLNIR.

OANST · #54 07-30-2009, 06:18 AM

Is there really a demand for a Halo cartoon? Or a further telling of the story in any way? Is there a demand for this sort of thing here? I am severely dissilusioned.

Wings of Fire · #55 07-30-2009, 06:22 AM

It has an Expanded Universe, I got one of the novels for a friend last christmas.

I wouldn't touch non-Warcraft Expanded Universes with a barge pole.

I can see why those two musicians would offer. Plenty of money to be made.

Laser · #58 07-30-2009, 01:33 PM

After that Neg repping from Leto, I wish it was Thom Yorke from Aerosmith.

Because at least then it wouldn't exist.

Hobo · #59 07-30-2009, 01:55 PM

Isn't the Halo story COMPLETE BALLS?

OANST · #60 07-30-2009, 02:14 PM

Basically, yes. Yes, it is.

Edit: But I don't hold that against it. It's a video game. I don't expect them to have good stories. It's just a plus when they do. I only become appalled when I meet people so devoid of sense and culture that they think it is a truly complex achievement in story telling. It really fucking isn't, people. It's zombies in space. Oh, yeah. And there are wookies and lizard people.
