Halo Legends
By Master Chief
Before going into San Diego Comic Con (SDCC), I would have said that Halo and anime are two exclusive ideas that should never be combined together. After the announcement of Halo Legends, I’m beginning to come around to the idea.
Halo Legends will be a series of seven short films that will have the traditional anime style attached to them. There are five production houses in Japan that will be handling the creation of the movies. At the end of the day though Microsoft will have the final word in all of the creative decisions. Which is definitely a good idea, because I’ve seen anime really go off into some weird places.
Frank O’Connor, Halo director had this to say about the project, “We’ve seen the world through Master Chief’s eyes, and we’ve experienced facets of the universe through a variety of literary prisms, but now we get to watch new tales unfold in really rich, visually dynamic ways. I think anime fans and Halo fans alike are in for a real treat.”
There have been very few story details come about as of yet. We know that there will be one story that provides us a history of the Spartans. There’s also a story that will fit into two segments and will tell the entire history of the Halo universe. Quite a feat indeed.
Halo Legends will release on DVD, Blu-Ray early 2010. I’m guessing there will be some kind of deal that will mesh with Halo Reach which is also scheduled for 2010.
