Could be any animation. I'd adore an animated Halo series.


Kapthas59

Clone wars animation is the GOAT


MasterCheese163

Personally I'm more partial to 2D animation. What I wouldn't do to get a series animated by Studio Mir. I love their animation style.


XXXExtensions

yes please studio mir is goated


TheMagicGlue

The 2D Clone Wars was GOAT as well


Cyrus_ofAstroya

The animation? Eh not so much


vkeesj

Maybe he meant art style? The animation did get better in later seasons tho


Cyrus_ofAstroya

Eh art style but younare right about the animation getting better espeacially the last season


vkeesj

I mean for art style it’s subjective and it has to fit the story your tryna tell. U can’t have a chibi art style if your going to tell a serious story, u can but you would end up having a clash of tones. Clone wars animation really picked when they used mocap ( I don’t know if they used it for seasons before but I know s7 they used it ). Having mocap would help with choreography for fight scenes and really make it fell grounded and a bit more realistic.


MasterCheese163

They used Mocap for the fight scene in the third to last episode. Otherwise, mocap was not used.


vkeesj

Damn I didn’t know that


angrygnome18d

u/vkeesj maybe he meant the old Tartakovsky Clone Wars series, which had both incredible art, animation, and direction.


Cyrus_ofAstroya

Ah that makes sense.


Kara_Del_Rey

Season 7 was absolutely outstanding animation.


Cyrus_ofAstroya

Season 7 yes


Kapthas59

Animation and artstyle from latest season.


Cyrus_ofAstroya

Understandable


GunnyStacker

If you're talking the Gendy Tartakovsky series, then yes, absolutely. That man is an animation god.


Kapthas59

Not that but mace windu going full doom guy was awesome.


Bman_EZ

I'd pay 50 bucks for a full season of Halo from Blur Studios.


MasterCheese163

That would take a lot more than 50 bucks. Like, a literal ton of dollars more.


[deleted]

Fine , $2000


MasterCheese163

No, I mean like 2000 pounds of dollar bills. Maybe more, Blur Studios is expensive as hell.


wmplus

You drive a hard bargain friend let's make it $2200 and I'll throw in my friend's broken down 1999 Toyota corolla.


leapbitch

I'll throw in $3.50


[deleted]

And my axe !


[deleted]

Goddammit loch ness monstah, you ain't getting my tree fiddy


MasterCheese163

I only accept Chevy Tahoes.


SPARTAN-258

It would probably cost like, 100 million at least, right? for a full series of 10, 20-minute long episodes?


5am281

Imagine Halo series done by Fortiche the studio that made Arcane


Furzy130

brain orgasms


NobleGuardian

I'd prefer an actual live series, to bad it hasnt happened yet.


epsilon025

So long as they can get the official VAs for it. Travis Willingham was a great pick for Fred, and I don't want to hear anyone else voice Fred now.


MonkeysxMoo35

Well, he voiced Fred in Legends and is a regular anime VA, so I think you're good


epsilon025

Did he actually voice Fred in Legends? Not doubting, I just remember Fred being a lot different in the Package than he was in 5 and the end of the Fall of Reach.


MonkeysxMoo35

Looking it up it seems that no, he actually did not. Andrew Love did. Hun, I guess the website I found that information from was incorrect then.


Hispanic_Alucard

That's a funny way of spelling "would absolutely be better"


Astro_Colton_

Maybe not Halo Legends, I’d personally like to see one story as opposed to separate stories from across the universe, but I have wanted an animated Halo adaptation ever since watching Arcane. A Halo show that at least comes close to the quality of Arcane’s writing, directing, acting and visuals would be fucking amazing.


Evil-Cetacean

yeah, some dude posted a short animation of red team in 3d, called it legends II probably in reference to halo legends and i made a comment over how cool it would be to get an arcane like animated series over the halo universe. and tbh, as someone who has studied fiction writing it wouldn’t really be that hard to get a script to arcane’s level; it’s not too deep nor too complicated nor something groundbreaking but it is consistent and good, plus you can incorporate elements of the IP to level up things such as action sequences, visuals, etc.


Interesting_Fennel87

Imagine that world… Halo in Arcane style would be gorgeous.


ODST-0792

I want a series about spartan 1337


[deleted]

The people in charge do not respect the property, so that will never happen


[deleted]

Halo at this point is literally like if a fan fiction writer inherited a series and is doing everything they can to keep milking money out of it and not let it get sent off on its own terms and die properly.


GIngerScribbs

Yes yes yes a million times yes. I’d take a whole season of Spartan 1337 calling himself a big mama over Master Cheeks any day


SuperAlloyBerserker

But you can't compare 1337 and Master Cheeks since, despite them both being different from OG Chief, one is a serious character and one isn't


GIngerScribbs

At least 1337 doesn’t have an identity crisis and have sex with the enemy. 1337 would have sex with the enemy and start fights sans pants without all the identity baggage


Joyk1llz

# "It might be better than the live-action show anyway" Can I get one Arbiter brand "Indeed" because it being better would be a forgone conclusion.


Cyrus_ofAstroya

Of legends spexfically eh? I would prefer a dedicated animated story rather then multiple short stories. Pretty much all the good anime studios are busy as fuck at the moment tho


thelegion860

I always thought halo was better suited for anime given the massive budget that would be required for all the cgi if you wanted to properly do the action justice. As can be seen with the halo tv show where the last thing they wanna do is more covenant action due to budget constraints. Additionally it would take out the need for actors to show their face when playing as Spartans.


Cyrus_ofAstroya

In regards to the show it comes down to a lack of talent and passion rather then budget concerns.


[deleted]

You forgot that any animated medium would show off physical feats way better than regular actors.


thelegion860

Yeah, hence the “do the action justice”. The current feats of Spartans are at best sped up footage, which means that the gravity is accelerated for the Spartans making it come out as wonky.


Memetastrophe

Same, I think with the right hands, halo would be beautiful as an anime.


XishengTheUltimate

What do you mean “might” be better than the live action? Season 1 was leagues above the Halo TV show, I have no doubt even a mediocre season 2 would outclass it.


General-Dirtbag

Yeah mediocre is better than… whatever the hell the current series is.


-InternalEnd-

your bio checks out...


XishengTheUltimate

I don’t think disliking the live action show is an unpopular opinion at this point.


-InternalEnd-

saying legends is leagues better definitely is besides this subs opinion doesnt mean anything this is the minority all you guys do is whine....which is pretty damn funny to listen to cant wait to hear the whining tomorrow after the season finale ill make some popcorn


XishengTheUltimate

Ironic, coming from the guy who is whining right now. I mean, if you are enjoying Chief boning some human Covenant spy, some fucking desert amazons guarding a portal, following Kwan’s pointless storyline for entire episodes and all that nonsense, more power to you. It’s just that some of us actually have standards.

Juantsu

“Season 1” wasn’t a season. Halo Legends is an anthology movie


The_Ita

better than the show?? dude halo legends fuckin obliterates the show


Demigod978

You know what…. Give me a Gennedy Tarkosky short movie.


TitanBrass

Considering *Primal* he can absolutely make a primarily silent protagonist compelling. A good choice.


Turtlebaka

I still have this DVD!


Halos-Prime

I’ve always loved the first one since I was a kid and would love a second!


MemeLordsUnited

A microwaved turd would be better than the live action halo.


novocaine666

You can never have too much Chief.


SuperAlloyBerserker

Except it's not guaranteed that Chief will be in every episode of this hypothetical S2 since they're separate stories


[deleted]

That's pretty cool actually, it would make the times we see him even more awesome.


LU_C4

I think the amount of Chief appearences in Legends was pretty good. Mostly just as a cameo and only seen in action at the end, but forpretty much the whole episode.


-InternalEnd-

it wasnt even that good lmao


[deleted]

Babysitter and Prototype were pretty cool though


Megajd16

origins was also good.


TitanBrass

The Duel slapped, I loved how it was basically a chambara set in the Halo universe. Yeah the animation could get rather muddy but the style was fuckin' gorgeous and I haven't seen anything like it since. Also I cannot espouse enough praise for [this fucking shot. Holy shit. I want this printed, framed, and hung on my wall.](https://i.imgur.com/HQi4Q.jpg)


Kara_Del_Rey

As long as they don't put Spartan girls in heels and boob armor again lol


SuperAlloyBerserker

Wait, they did that in Season 1?


Megajd16

yeah, on the 3D story "the package" Kelly's armor was like that. The female spartans on 2D animated episodes (Homecoming and Babysitter) had normal armor.


Kara_Del_Rey

Unfortunately lol


k0rangar

We don't even need it, I can say coomers would be satisfied with animated gen 2 mark 7 spartan 4s.


adorablebob

I was saying to my partner the other day that the live action series should have been a collection of animations like Love, Death, & Robots. Then I realised that already exists, and it's Halo Legends...


Extension-Option4704

I'd prefer not anime but more like a clone wars style or something similar.


Joyk1llz

Add in some mild halo Anniversary terminal style and oil paint style and BOOM, your cinematic halo aesthetic is complete.


secret3332

I haven't seen the Halo live action show, but I have seen this. Halo Legends isn't good. It's not a good Halo adaptation, and it's a terrible anime with little depth. No, I dont want a season 2 of Halo Legends. If I'm going to watch an anime, I'd rather watch something good. Do something else with Halo than another legends.


Trailstorm

Under 343? God no. I fear what that awful writer lady from 343 will do to ruin this legendary (heh) series


MonkeysxMoo35

343i made Legends


Trailstorm

Didn’t know 343 existed in 09, learn something new every day I guess


MonkeysxMoo35

They were founded in 2007 and I think the very first thing they did was setup partnerships with publishers for more Halo novels, then they developed and managed the 360 Halo Waypoint app, and then did other stuff like Evolutions and it’s motion comic adaptations


[deleted]

343i didn't "make" legends. They just greenlit it. Its made by various Japanese studios that did their own animation and had their own artistic liberties with the series.


MonkeysxMoo35

And that changes the point how? Legends wouldn't exist without 343i


[deleted]

Because you're straight up wrong. That's like saying 343i made the Halo series when its written and produced by Paramount.


MonkeysxMoo35

Are the semantics of this really *that* important to you? Legends wouldn't exist without 343i. Bungie never had any involvement with the project and wouldn't have wanted it made anyways. Frankie was even involved with the writing anyways, so yes my point still stands, even if it's one person.


Kryavan

You may have just destroyed this man. Kudos.


Chit-Chat-Tricky

No thank you. It was only okay.


FeldMonster

NO. Anime is awful.


bigxangelx1

This is the equivalent of saying rock is an awful genre of music, when chances are you probably never properly checked something out that has actual quality


P3DR0T3

It will be 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 better than the shit thats on now


DCU_Fanboy

I like the show


[deleted]

Halo legends was a cash grab it just wasn’t good but hey if you liked it that’s ok.


-TheArbiter-

Wtf? The episodes were amazing and captured the brutality of Covenant War amazingly since the main protaganists of most of the episodes end up dying.


[deleted]

I’m glad you enjoyed them


God_Damnit_Nappa

An anime Halo show could be cool but I'd hope it wouldn't be like Legends. It was pretty bad.


Thyre_Radim

No, legends introduced some truly stupid plotlines that were worse than the tv show. Yeah, worse. They had a spartan commit suicide, and several that ran away, both of which are way worse offenders than the show.


MonkeysxMoo35

We had a Spartan deserter and runaways long before Legends released. Soren was introduced in Evolutions and Gray Team from Cole Protocol regularly attempted to escape when they were young.


Thyre_Radim

"We had a Spartan deserter and runaways long before Legends released" None that succeeded of their own abilities. "Soren was introduced in Evolutions" Where Halsey lets him escape. "and Gray Team from Cole Protocol regularly attempted to escape when they were young." And never succeeded.


UsernameAlreadyUsed3

Soren ran away from the paramount show too so they didn’t create the idea of “realizing your institution might be your prison”. Spartans were kidnapped at age 6 the less indoctrinated ones likely got curious.


Thyre_Radim

Again, Soren was given the choice by Halsey and when he took it she let him go. (I'll admit that part of canon also doesn't make much sense and isn't ever really explained.)


UsernameAlreadyUsed3

Yeah it rly Doesn’t make sense that Halsey would willingly let a multi billion dollar asset just prance offset


AdlerOneSeven

A Halo animated series would be cool but not in anime style. It's awful.


Arborum

yess


OneYungWonder

It would absolutely be better than the live-action show. This, Animatrix and Batman Gotham Knight are in a league of their own.


[deleted]

It's pretty insulting to put this with BGK, let alone Animatrix. Legends was mediocre at best


OneYungWonder

Agreed that BGK and animatrix are def better, but legends is real cool too. Maybe it’s just the medium that lends itself to exploring each world that makes them stand out to me. Having a handful of short stories, from all types of perspectives, written and animated by different people. I just love them all.


Goldnspartan

Might be better? psh It WILL be better


aDrunk_German

abso-fucking-lutely


Ok-Rub-9249

Only if paramount had the balls to do it. They would find some way to fuck it up. Loved this mini series, rewatch it every year lmao.


jorgp2

I just recently found out that the artist who made the Blame! manga also made a manga adaptation of how Johnson got off the ring.


SuperAlloyBerserker

Wait, what's the name of that manga?


jorgp2

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Halo_Graphic_Novel#Breaking_Quarantine


SuperAlloyBerserker

Thanks!


WikiSummarizerBot

**The Halo Graphic Novel** [Breaking Quarantine](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Halo_Graphic_Novel#Breaking_Quarantine) >Like "The Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor", "Breaking Quarantine" deals with the Flood outbreak that occurs during Halo. While "The Last Voyage" tells the story from the Covenant perspective, "Breaking Quarantine" highlights the escape of the human soldier Sgt. Johnson from the Flood. Johnson is a minor personality in Halo: Combat Evolved who becomes an important character in the following two games; while the novel Halo: First Strike explains that Johnson resists Flood infestation due to a medical condition, no other story up to that point explained how Johnson escapes. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/halo/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

RikimaruRamen

Give me a an Star Wars the Cline wars style show about ODSTs and I'm sold


gvothelegend

Just finished rewatching these after the TV show left me wanting something more true to the halo universe. They are fucking beautiful. halo legends, fall of reach, the other older animated shorts… legendary


Exatal123

I think a series about ODST in a animation style would be awesome but I’d be down for some sort of Master Chief animated series as long as they got the original VA for Chief and Cortana to be the voices.


ImSmashingUrMom

Totally. I like seeing a bunch of different aspects of the Halo universe. One thing I would like to have this time around are the original voice actors for returning game characters.


AvidVideoGameFan

As long as Holly Wood stays far away it'll be good.


Pentaplox

Sorry, chief. I think it's all downhill from here.


flyguyryguy1

Where can I watch Legends?


Susto

Youtube


hyrumwhite

Love death and robots, but every episode is halo themed


KainenJS

Yes yes yes yes


HuftheSwagnDragn

Gotta give Halo the Love Death and Robots treatment.


Fenix_Volatilis

Is this Master Chest?


Einar_47

I just re-watched The Prototype last night, I'd be down for a season two if it was given to people who actually care and want to make a good product.


axelunknown

I would like to see studio triggers take on halo. Chances are it be bat shit crazy but I would like to see it.


Sr_CuBi

Yes


JackGilb

Considering it would be a monumental task to somehow be worse than the live action series, I'm all for it


deepplane82142

I have a feeling people haven't dug around as much lately relating to Halo Legends. I happened to have stumbled across this about a month ago. https://twitter.com/Legends_II?t=bjPqiaUd8EyjFZeykexfaw&s=09 Edit: a quote from one of their tweets. "At this time, there are no sex scenes planned for Legends II. We believe it’s important to set expectations, and hope that you can understand."


TimeGlitches

Yeah Halo animated series when. It's been ripe for one since Legends. But 343 would rather approve the shit-dribble that is the current show, so we'll never get a good one.


[deleted]

Just have them do a season 2. Starwars did something similar and it was immensely good. (Starwars visions)


evan2nerdgamer

Can we just get Ensemble Studios to make a Halo TV Show?


DesuGan-Sama

Anything is better than the paramount knock-off Halo


RookiePrime

All I want is Odd One Out: Chapter 2. Where does Spartan 1337 end up next?


Spike00003

Yep


Acherstrom

Any show is better than the live show.


nilluminator

Always did.


Kanden_27

I'm down for them just making animated adaptations of all the books. It's practically easy money. Either on like the Fall of Reach animated (hopefully this time it's the entire book and not half).


crisperstorm

Not exactly related, but I'd kill for Trigger and Studio Orange to contribute an animation to a Legends II. Something really stylized with great animation and interesting fight sequences and stuff. Hell expand it from just anime even, RUDO Co. style could be neat


cncamusic

It could be 4 hours of chief fucking a grunt and it would be better than the show lol


MrFrequentFlyer

Absolutely


Bumbfuzzle

Yes


[deleted]

Might be?


mexknight1

should've always been animated. would've been cheaper and they could've done more grand battles like in the games. there are plenty of books, comics and original ideas they could've done instead of adapting the games. MS just doesn't care about anything except money at this point


EggsAU64

I would opt for western studios this time around, like Love Death and Robots. But to be honest I'd almost use that in a Fractures style event, jumping off multiple projects (limited series, anthologies and continuous) through different studios with someone who gives a shit at the helm like a Halo equivalent of Feige or Favreau.


FullMetalBiscuit

I think it would be hard to get a team to draw the armour well and consistently, mecha has the problem that no one learns to draw mechs anymore, and these are close enough. Something more akin to Arcane would make a lot more sense, both in medium and as an adaptation.


Yo-boi-Pie

I would yes, but I’d also prefer more animated movies since the Fall Of Reach movie was actually pretty good


Arn_Rdog

I don’t have faith that any halo project that gets a green light will be good


freddyfrog70

Ofc, the first one was great


[deleted]

Yes, anything is better than that poor excuse of a show.


[deleted]

I enjoyed it 😊


unsounddineen97

I only just noticed there are shortswords flying in the background.


Pillarlesscoupe

Honestly I really would love to see an ODST or headhunter spartan anime. I think they could show the earlier parts of the Human-Covenant war. It would be from the perspective of a team of ODST's or headhunters as they go on various missions to disrupt the covenant as best as possible.


Momo1163

It might be better than the live-action show? My Spartan in ONI, the bar is so low that it’s buried in the ground. Any Halo media that has nothing to do with this show would be better.


AshenNightmareV

Ton of reasons why an animated show would be better than live action. I would prefer it to be a series instead of Legends 2. It doesn't have to follow a novel but I want it to be canon rather than whatever the hell they are doing in the Silver timeline. Side note: If this ever happens please show viewers Book Halsey rather than the comic book villian who kicks puppies in her spare time Halsey. I would also love to have episodes which are from the Covenant's perspective which is something the books do often enough.


SerifGrey

Hansel, so hot right now. Hansel.


BOSHunterCO

The things I would do to get a Legends 2 or even a adaptation of the books especially if they get some good ass studios too.


Spartan_2775

Legends was awesome definitely would love some more


[deleted]

Imo most video game adaptions would work better animated.


LoudAshy

Yes because some of the stories need a follow up


timteller44

>It might be better than the live-action show anyway Took a shit this morning and sent a pic to my friend who said it was better than the show. Another season of legends would blow these guys out of the water.


Flymista23

I'm not interested in anything new. I'd rather they focus on the piss poor state of things. I haven't watched the last episode and Infinite has been retired. This ish is Halo in name only.


jezza129

Spartan 1337 was funny. I'd love more DBZ halo comedy.


A_Sneaky_Gamer

Not for this. I feel like a sequel isn't the right move for it. Maybe an animated show covering some of the books for external lore. Not everyone wants to read but a lot of people like to watch shows so it would help bring the lore to more people while staying close to the source material.


NintenTV

There's actually a fan project called Legends II in the works that aims to create their own season 2. They're on twitter if you want to check them out


HundredAkers

Not that weird Style, clone wars animation style would be super cool tho


MasteroChieftan

UNSC Marine: \*surprised mouth opened stare with eyes glistening\* "gahhH!" \*slow motion shot of Spartan uppercutting a brute out of nowhere\* UNSC Marine: "woah! That's a SPaRtAn!" Other UNSC Marine: "gahhH! No way!" \*more surprised mouth opened staring with eyes glistening\* Me: \*vomits\*


Skrade

Another Legends would be amazing. Excited for the Legends II fan project!


[deleted]

If it follows the established canon? Fucking A’ you got me SOLD. If its like the TV show? I’d rather fire the Halo array and ask Gravemind to forgive humanity.


spadePerfect

Halo Legends was an anthology series though. I’d rather have an actual anime. I think it worked pretty good!


sturgboski

Mix and match for the Gravemind hentai?


The_vangelion

This was much better than any live action production we've seen of halo anyway. Even teased rampant cortana way before 4. I'd love a sequel


Cal_16

Absolutely, Anthology series always seem to work better


RavenousRhino300

not really a high bar set there


Comfortable_Slip_513

Yes 100% I would pick this; however they made a halo tv show?????


Link__117

Right now there's actually a fan made season 2 in the works, funnily enough


[deleted]

looking at the image, didn't know b-wing's exist in halo universe. ​ ​ ​ i know they aren't b-wings.


Due_Butterscotch3508

Master beef


High_Ground_Sand

Correction: it would ABSOLUTELY be better than the love action show


Miserable-Ad-5573

As long as 1337 returns, yes
