Recently it was announced that the Halo universe will take a new direction in the form of seven straight to DVD Anime shorts, entitled "HALO Legends". These shorts are being created by five production studios: Bones, Casio Entertainment, Production I.G., Studio4ยบ C, and Toei Animation. You may know them, you may not.
The project is being overseen by 343 industries, a Microsoft team lead by former Bungie employee Frank "Frankie" O'Conner. They handle Halo's conversion from a video game to other forms of media.

While I have heard mixed reviews about this (and I had to grimace at the fact that Toei, creators of Dragonball, are getting their hands on my beloved Halo), I will of course be buying Halo Legends.
That being said, my curiosity was peaked, and I took a quick glance at 343 Industries' Halopedia page. Turns out they're overseeing a lot of new comics and such, but what really caught my attention was something called "The Forerunner Trilogy", a novel series currently being written by Greg Bear.
Sounds intriguing, doesn't it?
Now I know why Toei sounds familiar...oh god they have control of a Halo anime(As long as Master Chief doesn't shoot energy beams from his hands it should be fine right?).Halo Legends has to be a masterpiece,you can't have a mediocre Halo creation(or worse an utter failure), which I'm afraid is what this will become.Oh well here's to hoping it won't suck!And good job as usual.
