You even force them to buy one in order to play Tale of Vesperia and they were fooled when the PS3 version was released recently. Now you forced them to make you awesomely bad Halo 'anime'. Please stop your silly idea otherwise the Japanese people will drop nukes on your country soon. Every time I come to MAL's forums, my faith in humanity erodes ever so slightly. |

| If it has to be a game on xbox, i would rather of seen lost odyssey in production than again, i dont care much for shooters |
| At least it's not an anime about me *playing* Halo... It'd be the same thing over and over again. <walks around for a while, sees nobody in sight the whole time> <BANG*> <beep... beep... beep... beep... beep... beep...> *sometimes replace with <WHACK> |

| This is mostly likely going to suck. But of course I'm mostly going to watch it. |
 |
| hmmmmmmm this is gonna be interesting never thought Microsoft will ever go into the anime business. And halo is basically an american thing so i dont expect it to be a huge success. |
 |
| I think Halo is a pretty cool guy. eh kills aleins and doesn't afraid of anything... ....had to do it |
 I am a banana. |
| That rather surprised me... |

| Another attempt to try to get Japanese consumers into the Xbox. Nice try, MS. |

| this should be interesting,i wonder how long the episodes will be? |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |

saka said: I think Halo is a pretty cool guy. eh kills aleins and doesn't afraid of anything... ....had to do it YES But yeah..I doubt i'm gonna watch this. |

| Very interesting, i'm a huge fan of the games, so i'm excited. Halo has a very deep storyline, that can branch in a variety of different directions. Most likely this will be along the same lines as The Animatrix. Kinda upset that GONZO isn't on the list, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with the list of studios they have. this is not the first time that japanese anime has been used as a medium for "american" stories. Batman: Gotham Knight as well as The Boondocks were both animated by japanese companies, both were successfully in their own right and the world didn't blow up cuz they were different. i'm guessing most of the people who are bashing this idea have never played the games/don't fully understand the fiction behind them, so lets give them a chance people, GunGrave came out good, who saw that coming based on the game? |
 |
| http://www.gametrailers.com/video/exclusive-debut-halo-legends/53158 It's by Toei Animation... why Toei of all of the possible names out there... |
 |
| It's by 4 companies, and spearheaded by the GitS director, could go either way now these info has come to light. |
| Also: No Madhouse. |
| I can't really imagine Halo being anime... ...but I'm looking forward to it. |
 |
| Any news on the voice cast? |
 |
| YES! This is the best news I've heard this year! |

Microsoft will get a huge profit from this project in USA and Europe. Good Story+Good Profit = Good stuff. Now for fail: +10 FAIL for you having Gundam FagSEED avatar. +100FAIL for you not noticing that old Bill no longer is in Microsoft for OVER YEAR already. +100FAIL for you judging stuff before it comes out.

Fai said: Games are already dead :P Yet halo 3 is what one of the top selling games ever or something and their is more games coming out as well as halo 3 is still one of xbl's top played games (I am a halo fan but more of a fan of the first and second rather than all the people crazy over 3) can't say it's dead already..... I do agree with you about people judging it already, but then again with all the halo bashers (most being sony fanboys) people are going to do that. I think this has potential and like i said at the start of the thread, we won't know till we see it. Oh and I'm sure it will be damn successful in western countries. Just think about it, even all the non-anime viewers who love Halo will watch it. I'm sure it will be a hit even if it does disappoint. |
| I myself can't wait to see this~! :D |
O_O |
| nice set of studio. |
velcom said: (most being sony fanboys) How original. |
| HELL YEAH!!! DO WANT WATCH - NOW! |
| They should just make an 12-13 episode anime out of "The Fall of Reach" and then leave it be. That was the only time Halo's story was interesting IMO |
3rr0R said: o_O Now that's... There are some really good studios on the list, however, I'm not fan of the game, so I'm not sure, if I'm going to watch it I think I'll watch it just for Bones and Toei Ani. |
| Phew... well I for one am relieved that some American corporations are taking an interest in anime as an outlet of entertainment, despite the potential recoil from both sides (anime/halo fans... I've seen it both, some real hatred seen, sheesh). Primus said: They should just make an 12-13 episode anime out of "The Fall of Reach" and then leave it be. That was the only time Halo's story was interesting IMO And Agreed, this would be the ideal length and encompassing. I believe that this will cover an extensive amount more than the games did... check the trailer: Halo Legends Trailer Also shows the studio listing specifically through-out the trailer, and some scenes... honestly looks promising imo. Done as shorts - each section done by a different studio. Production IG's and Bones's sections look best. |

-- Zune Social - this is the treatment for my ears.
| Just another of Microsoft's attempt to conquer the Japanese console market by popularizing one of its key franchise, that's it. Of course, like with Xbox 360 exclusive JRPGs, this isn't gonna work if the show is bad... Anyway the anime is based of a game so even if most of the studios listed are top-notch, I'm not getting my hopes high. |
| Hmm, everyone who mentions something about game to anime adaptions not being good also lacks Gungrave viewing. Seriously people, it's worth a watch. |
| Just watched the trailer for this thing... seems like this will be to Halo what the Animatrix was to the Matrix universe (i.e. the studios' interpretations of the Halo universe, not actual canon). This time around though, thankfully, we have far better animation studios behind the project. I'm looking forward most to what Bones has to offer, but I'm skeptical overall with the series. Toei's work has me worried, and Production I.G.'s show of CGI in the trailer looked lackluster at best, same with Casio Entertainment... but we'll just have to wait and see, I guess. |

| Hopefully this will be as awesome as Batman: Gotham Knight. |
  |
| I just watched the preview, and I'm a little worried. I'm still gonna watch it and see how it is, but the preview didn't affirm me that it was going to be good. |
 |
| I hate toei. BONES, I'm looking forward too. |
| I've only played one halo game and that'd be the first one. So I'm not really interested. Most animes made after video games arent that great anyways. I can only think of a few exceptions to that though. |
| Definitely didn't expect an anime for Halo Love RvB and the game ( even though I don't own one... yet ) Some really awesome studios there. Can't wait ^^ |
   |
| Fall of Reach for the win!!!! If they animate the first book all is good and I'll be really excited... otherwise meh... |
