First and foremost I would like to say that I am not a fan of Halo in general. Never got into the story, never could play the game fully. Now onto the review...

I am an anime fan period. I love its stories, I love its animation, I love the music, I love the entertainment value it presents. Halo Legends tried to capitalize on all of these things by bringing in top anime studios to take a spin at whichever section they were paid to do.

Unfortunately, the first two episodes were 100% boring, with just one voice talking and some sub par animation to accompany it. On the episode "The Duel" the action picked up with a raptor looking guy's wife was killed in order for him to duel another clan leader to gain power. The animation was different, action was definitely there but the animation was that of an early saturday morning cartoon.

The animation started picking up, and the stories started becoming less vocal and more anime like, which is definitely a good thing, especially after the half hour or so of boredom. Problem being is that it was too late for me, even though it started clamoring for attention, I just couldnt give into it. I wanted to love it, as anime is a passion, but I was too bored and succumbed to falling asleep.

All in all, I will say once the animation picked up, it was worth the watch. The action was there, the stories were there as only the Japanese can do so and do so well.
