Halo Legends | comment |
Halo Legends is an anime-styled series of seven short stories set in the Halo universe. What The Animatrix did for the The Matrix films and Batman: Gotham Knight did for The Dark Knight Trilogy, Halo Legends does for the Halo Expanded Universe. It was produced by Microsoft's internal Halo entertainment team, 343 Industries, with the animation done by six production houses, namely Bee Train, Studio Bones, Casio Entertainment, Production I.G, Studio 4°C, and Toei Animation. The shorts were originally released one by one on Halo Waypoint over the course of late 2009, before getting a full DVD/Blu-ray release in early 2010.The stories shown in this movie are: The Babysitter (Studio 4°C): A story about the rivalry between the Spartan-IIs and the ODSTs as they're sent to a Covenant-controlled world to assassinate a Covenant Prophet. The Duel (Production I.G): Taking place long before the Human-Covenant War, this short tells the story of an Arbiter, Fal 'Chavamee, who refuses to accept the Covenant religion. The Package (Casio Entertainment): A CGI-film about a SPARTAN-II raid on a Covenant fleet. Origins (Studio 4°C): An expansive history covering the past 100,000 years of the Halo universe, narrated by Cortana in between the events of Halo 3 and Halo 4 (which was released 2 years after the compilation was released). It is comprised of two parts. Homecoming (Production I.G / Bee Train): Focuses on the tragedies caused by the SPARTAN-II program's means of recruitment, and the Spartans coming to terms with their new life. Prototype (Studio Bones): The story of a Marine nicknamed "Ghost" who, despite orders to destroy an advanced prototype armor, uses the suit to buy time for the people evacuating from the planet. Odd One Out (Toei Animation): A non-canon, Affectionate Parody involving a Hot-Blooded Spartan only known as SPARTAN-1337 getting stranded on an unknown dinosaur-inhabited planet. | |

All There in the Manual: Not only does the collection serve as supplementary canon for the games, but the shorts themselves reference a lot of lore that (at least at the time of release) only existed in the expanded universe. Additionally, 343i has since released numerous bits of lore that provide extra background details for all of the shorts (minus Odd One Out). | |

Title Drop: When O'Brien initially hears that they'll have another sniper for the upcoming mission, he complains about having to be a "babysitter" for some "farmboy moose hunter". The extra hand turns out to be a Spartan who if anything ends up babysitting him — and the question that goes unanswered is "who was babysitting who?" | |

Humanoid Aliens | |
Halo Legends / int_1e669b8e | comment |
Humanoid Aliens: Most of the alien species seen are four-limbed bipedals. In order from most to least human-like, we have the Forerunners (who themselves speculate in later media that the Precursors are the reason why they and humanity look surprisingly similar), the Brutes (who look like ape-bear hybrids), the Grunts (who look like arthropod monkeys), the Prophets (who have incredible long necks), the Jackals (who have a rather bird-like appearance), and the Elites (who look like tailless dinosaurs with a distinctive split jaw). The Hunters have a vaguely humanoid form, but are actually sapient worm colonies. | |

Out of Character: While Dr. Halsey is generally depicted as a cold, stoic character who the Spartans see as a motherly figure of sorts, this short gives her a more light-hearted and quippy personality similar to that of Cortana. She even comes close to flirting with John (which adds an unfortunate bit of Incest Subtext due to the aforementioned motherly role, though Halo: The Fall of Reach does imply that Halsey does indeed find John attractive despite herself). | |

Halo Legends / int_4a9bc7ec | comment |
Dubtitle: Did they record the Japanese or the English dub first? In any case, the English home release captions the English dub on both audio tracks, making watching the Japanese track rather distracting due to inconsistent scripts (wildly different, in some cases), timing that's fine for English but horribly distracting to a regular viewer of subtitled Japanese, and very noticeable silence filling. | |

Guns Akimbo: As befitting the short's focus on action, the main Spartan trio all do this, coupled with some fancy Gun Fu: John pulls out two SMGs while back-flipping over a Brute. Kelly grabs two plasma rifles out of (and while in) mid-air. Fred takes the cake; he pulls out an SMG to take care of a group of Covenant to his side while still maintaining aim with his Spartan Laser. | |

Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism: The short took a lot of Artistic License in order to achieve this trope; this◊ is its depiction of a female Sangheili/Elite!

Foreshadowing | |
Halo Legends / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The "alien" ruins on Heian. When you see them, you can clearly see the elements of ancient human architecture in them. It seems the producers were lazy, right? Wrong! Both Halo: Cryptum and the Halo: Evolutions short story From the Office of Dr. William Arthur Iqbal imply that those ruins are the last remnants of the prehistoric human civilization that once rivaled the Forerunners. | |

Never Speak Ill of the Dead: As the ODSTs quietly mourns for the death of Cal during lunch, a crewman who's a fan of the ODSTs joins their table. Unfortunately, he makes the mistake of bad mouthing Cal's death as "proof" that Spartans aren't badass as the ODSTs.

Due to the Dead: In a flashback, it's shown that though Ghost was unable to bury the marine who died in his arms, he still takes the time to properly lay her to rest, even putting some flowers in her hands. At the end of the story, after Ghost sacrifices himself to save the evacuation as well as destroy the prototype, the commanding officer retracts his request for a court martial and furthermore officially lists Ghost as Missing In Action. Combined with the MJOLNIR-like appearance of the prototype, Ghost is essentially honored as a Spartan in death. | |

Distinctive Appearances: The Spartans all wear different-looking (and colored) armor from each other, so we can tell which one is which. This was unlike previous Halo media; Halo: The Fall of Reach explicitly noted that the Spartans all looked identical with no visual markers when in full armor, with just their trackers to tell them apart. However, later media like Halo: Reach decided it was unfair to keep the player/audience guessing every time, so they too began featuring more customization. | |

An Arm and a Leg: Ghost is implied to lose the lower half of his left arm when the prototype suit he's piloting gets its left arm blown off by a plasma grenade; blood is visible as the suit goes flying out of control from the ensuing explosion. Plot-wise, this signals that it's time for Ghost to activate the self-destruct. | |

Inter-Service Rivalry | |
Halo Legends / int_d54b9eb3 | comment |
Interservice Rivalry: The officer briefing the ODSTs makes note of their resentment of the Spartans, but tells them to keep it out of the mission. With the exception of O'Brien's continual bitching, the squad manages to do so, and they all develop real respect for Cal-141 by the end. | |

Elites Are More Glamorous: While the shorts do mostly follow characters not seen before, pretty much all the main characters are either Spartans, ODSTs, or Sangheili (who are actually referred to by humans as "Elites"). | |

Anime Hair | |
Halo Legends / int_daf4da31 | comment |
Anime Hair: This trope is naturally in effect, given the medium, with O'Brien's fuzzy mop being a particularly egregious offender. In the commentary track, it's noted that real-life Marines would pretty much all have buzz cuts, but this trope was used to help visually distinguish the ODSTs from each other. | |

Halo Legends / int_dd6ce5db | comment |
Artistic License: Per Word of God, the animators were given a lot of liberty to mess with the visuals. For example, the shorts have a habit of giving the Covenant species the wrong color of blood (such as The Package having all the Covenant bleed green, even though no core Covenant species canonically has green blood). Again, further examples are listed with their respective shorts. invoked | |

As for Daisy, she almost snaps and shoots her clone, but manages to stop herself at the last moment, afterwards throwing herself wholeheartedly into serving as a Spartan-II. | |
