Acclaimed anime and live-action film director Mamoru Oshii has confirmed via a video message during the Halo panel at Comic-Con International on Thursday that he will direct one part of the animatd Halo Legends anthology project. Oshii joins Appleseed director Shinji Aramaki, who is overseeing a short about the history of the Spartan warrior class from the games. The five anime studios producing the seven short films are BONES, Casio Entertainment, Production I.G., Studio 4°C, and Toei Animation.

The Bones and Production IG stuff doesn't look too bad so far. Toei, on the other hand, still haven't found a way to outgrow their ancient, ugly roots.
Although I don’t know about the directions at 4:51.
It’s commonly known when you look north in Japan East is to your left. Please don’t try to correct that sentence. It lasts only for a second but I wouldn’t expect a mistake like that.

True. The only reason Interstellar 555 worked was because it was Daft Punk as the music.

Don't care. About a Halo movie. Don't care if "past it" Oshii has a hand in it. Really, I just don't give a toss. Rubbish game-based productions are rubbish.
