: I'm reposting my earlier questions in the proper place. Even if they're never
: answered, I feel better having restored the karmic balance of the thread.
: Now for several terribly polite questions: Pray sir, if it wouldn't be too
: much of a bother, would you be so kind as to expound your decision to
: title the series "Halo: Legends"? (assuming always that you've
: the time and the temperament to do so - really it's merely a trifle; to
: dismiss the question would be of no consequence to me, I assure you) Does
: that refer to legendary figures within the Halo universe, or are we
: talking "Halo: Fables"? Or were you guys thinking really
: cleverly, slathering on layer after layer of meaning, with the uptake
: being that we have Halo stories, about famous (or just really neat)
: characters, told by giants of the Anime world?
: And why'd you chose Anime? Anime, as this forum's response has shown, seems
: to be a divisive genre, and is certainly an acquired taste. Was there
: something about that particular form of art that meshed well with the Halo
: world? Or was it just a matter of opportunity? Or did you all just think
: it'd be cool? Or that we'd think it would be cool? Do you think we'll
: think it'll be cool? Did you think about other genres (claymation,
: pointillistic or maybe abstract expressionalistic animation, wireframe,
: cel-shaded, stop-motion)?
: Who's responsible for the content of the stories?
: If I don't like anime (sort of knee-jerkily, but also as a result of some
: limited extensive exposure [meaning I watched a lot of one program]) but I
: do like Halo, will I like this?
The name Legends directly applies to the stories and the characters in them - there's this idea that each of the moments is a Legend among those who know of the tale - ODSTs, for example, or Elites remembering a brave act. It also riffs off of a word we all associate with Halo.
I am resposnible for most of the stories.
If you don't like anime, there's nothing about this content other than the idea of animation, that should be off-putting. Only one episode relies on anime tropes and that one for comedy.
