News : Halo Legends sneak peak.

This is a sneak peak broadcast on television of Studio 4˚C's part of the Halo Legends project entitled "The Babysitter". Studio 4˚C are the animation studio behind Spriggan and the recently released First Squad, they also did the music video for Linkin Park's Breaking the Habit.

News : Wolverine and Ironman make the jump to anime also.

Remember the Wolverine manga from a while ago? Looks like making an anime of popular IPs is the new cool thing to do, with the earlier announcements of the Halo short animated films and now anime versions of Wolverine and Ironman.


I have to say, whilst the animation is certainly awesome, the character design of Wolverine is questionable and why is he fighting Japanese transformer bats?


As for the Ironman one, I like how it has a very retro sci-fi anime look about it. I don't know a whole lot about Ironman, but it seems hes fighting Captain Harlock from the famous old anime, maybe the character design was based on him, who knows.

Anyway, will be interesting to see how the more western marvel/DC comic fans feel about these anime adaptions.

News : Halo anime on the way!

It was bound to happen someday and it looks like Microsoft have chosen the Animatrix/Dark Knight way of doing things, going with short episodic content from a number of different studios. Amongst them you will see Toei, production I.G and even Bones. Could be very interesting to see how things turn out, anyway here's a few pictures. (How cool does Bones' gundam spartan suit look?!)
