Re: Halo: Legends Preview Clip Links

In Response To: Re: Halo: Legends Preview Clip Links (Bry)


: I'd hardly say they are replacing the Elites in everything. Halo Wars is a
: shining example where the Elites retook centre stage from the Brutes.
: But that aside, as well as the original idea that the Elites were never
: supposed to have been encountered before the Battle of Reach (snort), its
: not hard to imagine the Sangheili actually being elite and only getting
: themselves involved in the most important things while the Brutes can do
: the grunt ground work that is beneath them.

I still wish we saw more Elites nowadays...

: Can't think of many childish cartoons that show spurts of vomit and blood,
: including an eye being punched out. =P
: Probably just what you're used to. If you're already quite accustomed to the
: likes of more serious anime such as Ghost in the Shell, Ninja Scroll,
: Wings of Honnêamise etc, you'll probably be able to get beyond that sort
: of thing.
: Generally anime has a style that has characters being very expressive and
: movements can be quite exaggerated which can take some getting used to.

If you think of it this way, you have a movie that comes out with mature content and is rated "R," older teens and adults go to see it. The a game comes out based on that movie and is rated "M," teens and some adults buy and play it. Then a cartoon comes out based on the movie/game and is rated TV-whatever the rating would be, kids and teens watch it, very few adults. This is all because of the gradual decrease in the realism of the subject down the line. Your "blood and vomit" in a cartoon can't stir as much of a reaction out of the viewer as other types of media because it will never be as realistic, as long as it's a cartoon. Thus making it more "child friendly," but not necessarily childish.

Also, when it comes to the personalities and exaggeration of characters, I think a lot of anime IS childish. There are exceptions in anime that have done greatly without this. Halo: Legends doesn't look too bad so far, but I can see that red-headed guy being a problem.

I still look forward to watching though. Action scenes look awesome.
