Halo has to be one of the most popular games of the decade, and still has a huge fan base set to increase as more games and merchandise becomes available. There’s already a book series, and rumours of a film have been doing the rounds for a while now.
Well, its not a film, but in the same vein as the Animatrix and Batman Gotham Knight, Halo Legends is a DVD containing eight episodes of CG and traditional anime, each from a renowned Japanese director, exploring the origins and history of the Halo universe.
Click here to watch an action-packed 44-second clip from within an episode entitled “The Package,” which was animated by Casio Entertainment under the creative supervision of Shinji Aramaki (Appleseed) from a script by writer Dai Sato (Cowboy Bebop).
“The Package” finds Master Chief and four specially-selected Spartans launched out of a stealth cruiser and into the heart of a giant Covenant fleet in a bid to recover a valuable intelligence asset. The episode is a showcase for the Spartans’ impressive fighting capabilities, whether it be hand-to-hand combat, ground assaults, or in zero-G while piloting never-before-seen light attack vehicles.”
