baby don't hurt me.

In Response To: What is Halo? (scarab) : What is Halo? oooh, that's a real toughie. purists are going to say "halo is a video game", and disregard external media. a different sort of purist is going to say that halo is defined by its style, the sort of gritty futuristic scifi. personally, i'd say that halo is about lore in general. the whole reason the series is so attractive to me is because every aspect of the universe has history in its origins. the spartans didn't just show up someday- they have a history behind them and it's interesting. same thing with the halos: they're not just bigass space rings, they have a history and a purpose. all facets of the halo universe seem to have this history and purpose, which is different than something like star wars or firefly or many other scifi franchises. most of the time, the creators just vomit awesome in to your face, so that you're too distracted by scenery/tech porn to question the origins of what you're seeing. halo has a track record of explaining this stuff (albeit slowly and suspensefully). so in regard to the anime (to take this post where it seems like you were headed...): 1. the space motorcycles don't seem like they'd fit this dogma. 2. the origins of the spartan program fits perfectly 3. so does the series retrospective pieces
