Having just watched the first of the Halo Legends shorts, I must say, It's OK. This episode wasn't bad, but it wasn't good, either. It was average.

SPOILERS AHEAD

I will upload it to YouTube soon.

Download: It's the one on top.


Part 1.
Part 2

Cool, so does this mean this is the first actual episode? Not just a peek, an actual episode. Well all I really needed to hear was that there were elites in it and I hope to see it soon, should be interesting.

not to be a nit picking little prick(but i am.), but generally when you think things are ok, you give them a 5 or 6/10, and 7 is for good.

anyway, i was just wondering, why that choice of title? or is that the title of the episode?

Actual 'sode. I'll be uploading to YouTube and making it available for DL soon. I just got finished capturing it with my Capture Card.

Halo Legends is the anthology. The episode is The Babysitter. Also, I'm going more by how schools do it. 5 is a failing mark, 7 is ok, 6 is bad, 8 is good, 9 is great, and 10 is godly.

Better idea. Download it onto your CPU. I'm going to put it up for Download on my website and post the link. It will also be on Youtube, but that will be after it's on my site as I have to split it in 2.

Ugh, I hate anime. I agree with you completely OP. Why is a guy who looks and acts like a punky angsty 16-year-old an ODST? And why do the Forerunner buildings look like Japanese pagodas? Besides that we already know what Forerunner buildings look like. All the buildings on the Halos and the Ark were Forerunner; they certainly didn't look like they belong in Feudal Japan.

So I didn't like this episode for the same reason I dislike anime: the art style, the corny story and dialogue. Also, inconsistencies: the "Forerunner" architecture, which we know is not what it looks like, and the fact that the Spartan had long flowing hair; besides that it's impractical (how did it even fit in the helmet), it's against UNSC regulations.

I wish they had gone to Western artists for these episodes instead of making them anime. I can only imagine how good it could have been then.

Well, those could have been Forerunner housing. Remember, we have never seen non-weapon Forerunner locations. We've seen their weapon stations. Also, it's a SPARTAN, though. She doesn't have to follow the law/rules. Though the punk ODST was an idiot.

I thought it was ok as well, not great, just not that bad. I liked the particular anime style that they presented it in, it reminded me of Gundam Wing.

Oh, and yea that ODST sniper kinda anoyed me too.

Anyways, Im looking forward to the Waypoint episode next week.

She was wearing MK IV armour. Spartan armour didn't have a sensor until MK V and even then she can't see the radar when zooming with a scope. Also I doubt the ODST chose where his drop-pod landed. This review gets -10/9000

Meh. Wasn't all that great. Spotted a couple of what looked like continuity errors, plus they were a little lazy when it cames to the

Plus the biggest cliche in war movies.

Oh, and the moment when the sniper shot was fired. Not to be nit-picking (but apparently people have when it comes to the armour), clearly they don't understand balistic mechanics. It may be a good rifle, but to take a shot from 2 miles away and hit the target by lining the scope up with the target? That doesn't quiet hold water...

Finaly, the animation reminded me of "Thunderbirds 2086", which brings back bad memories...

For the shot though, this is 500 Years in the future. Also, Grizzly sidekick is pushing it for Mr. Fail.

She still had super hearing, and

Yes, I made a few mistakes. I was tired. Sorry.

It was okay I guess, but I swear someone in it was called 'Dutch'.

There were a few things that annoyed me though, like the fact she chose not to speak until she was near death.

Well, Just seeing the ODST, I already hate them. These are supposed to be badasses? The red-haired one looks like he's twelve, the blonde one doesn't seem to realize that keeping a toothpick in your mouth hasn't been cool since the 1950's, the grey haired one looks like he's too old to be in service, and the black-haird one (yes, I hate this too much to learn any of their names) seems annoying. The spartan looks f**king horrendous.

Yeah, maybe it's just that I seem to be programmed to hate most anime, but I can't even bring myself to continue watching this.

Oh dear god. Now my favorite sci-fi series will be ruined by pubescent twits whose heads were stuck in vacuum cleaners. I'm sorry, I just couldn't enjoy this at all. I'll pass.

Also, what this guy said. I hated that red-haired twit bag instantly. Why couldn't he have been the one who died in orbit?

But I also agree with the Spartan thing. He just doesn't look right at all.

Wow that was painful, I'm normally such a fan of anime AND Halo, but together they don't mix at all, Badass silent action hero is a Western theme, whereas angsty pre-pubescent spiky hair boys who bitch obscenely loudly is a Japanese thing.

I shouldn't complain, I'm probably going to watch all of them anyway since I'm a hopeless fan boy.

Although I much prefer the books.

I didn't like the fact that the spartan handled the brute in hand to hand combat for like a minute, she could have easily shot him in the face and that'd would've been truer to halo. but part from that is was a very well put together episode and I cant wait to see the rest
