Jul 27 2009Master Chief Theater: Halo Anime Coming
You like what I did with the title there? I lol'd. And by lol'd I mean tried to hammer my teeth out with a XBox 360 controller. So anyway, there comes a time when all great franchises must come to an end in a horrible burning fire of suck. This is that time for Halo.
Microsoft is teaming with five production houses for a series of seven short films called Halo Legends, reports the Los Angeles Times. The five production houses are some of the biggest names in the industry:
Bones, Casio Entertainment, Production I.G., Studio4 C, and Toei Animation.The creative director overseeing the production is Shinji Aramaki, director of Appleseed and Appleseed Ex Machina.
Actually, this could turn out to be pretty good. Probably not pork chop sandwiches good, but genius like that doesn't grow on trees. IT COMES FROM PIGS, SILLY!

Thanks to Master Chief woot woot, Master Chief's funner, harder-partying brother.

@3 Uwe Boll was too busy beating the "BloodRayne" dead horse.

Yes, horrible burning fire of suck.

At least there may be some kind of plot. I can't imagine what they're going to do with the "Asteroids" movie.

10. Moose Knuckle - July 27, 2009 1:40 PM
@5 Soooooo what do you think a Uwe Boll movie would look like if he had a $200,000,000 budget?
Transformers 2 perhaps?
11. Evoltsol - July 27, 2009 1:42 PM
Oh god. Not I.G. and Toei.
That's just great, great companies have to make flaming animations of suck for Microsoft.
12. Pew³ - July 27, 2009 1:45 PM
So, by your analogy;
Uwe Boll + $$$$$$$$ = MIcheal Bay?
I'm not sure I know which director we're making fun of anymore.

f*ck the anime, i want the movie!!!!!!!!!!! those clips on youtube of the film were amazing... *plasma grenades myself*

Bungie had lots of opportunities to turn Halo into something respectable, and they crapped on it every time.
On a separate note, Anime is ruining everything.
19. Gordon "Fücking" Shumway - July 27, 2009 2:15 PM
If I actually pay to go see this movie (monumental piece of shit), it better have a happy ending (massage parlor style).
20. SteelDragoon - July 27, 2009 2:22 PM
HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!
Halo and Anime, in 1, I'm excited, and By excited I mean I want a prok chop sandwich
21. Hawk - July 27, 2009 2:58 PM
Blame Fox and Universal for the movie getting shelved.
They were too concerned about getting paid. Now NO ONE gets paid! ...idiots.

23. James - July 27, 2009 3:21 PM
I trust the director of Appleseed to at least produce a Halo series that looks good.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie NEver Back Down where Max evaded Pat Sajack, and made it to his hotel room, thinking he was safe, he called Pete Rose to come over freebase some sunflower seeds and play Yahtzee. Pete was rolling 5's and Pat Sajack bust the door down. He followed the scent of burning sunflowers, but once he saw the Yahtzee game his ADD kicked in and he settled down. For the remainder of the night, Pat announced the game, inserting a commercial break every 7 minutes.

REAL!!!
This is not a complete photoshop job. you can tell its real because the shadow's are all correct.
Its exactly like that scene in the movie Fighting where that white guy stalks that girl then buys her a pink bunny so she doesn't put a restraining order against him and thats the bottom line cuz Stone Cold Said So....wait what are we talking about? Pork Chop Sandmiches for everyone!!!

I am reserving judgment until it comes out....then I'm gonna either eat a BLT or pizza. Then I wash it down with beer or Crown & Coke. So you see....I have a lot of decisions to make and this pressure you’re putting on me is too much! Get off my back, man!

There already is a halo anime. It's called Red vs. Blue, and it's awesome.
31. jay - July 29, 2009 5:39 AM
I've lost all respect for halo... it was good while it lasted

Great, something to make us resent Halo EVEN MORE.
33. Super_T - September 26, 2009 12:03 PM
@30
Red vs. Blue isnt an anime, its called machinima, i.e. using footage of gameplay from (insert desired game here) and creating a movie from it. Other than that the concept doesnt look too bad, i might actually watch it
