Microsoft in collaboration with most acclaimed anime creators, unveiled a new project called “Halo Legends” at Comic-Con International in San Diego, which’ll bring the “Halo” franchise and its sweeping sci-fi saga to an entirely new medium, in the form of several original anime short films. The compilation will include a series of short stories that explore different times, themes and characters from the “Halo” universe and will be distributed globally by Warner Home Video, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. company. Influential studios that are part of the project include the creators behind some of the most popular and celebrated anime to come from Japan, such as “The Animatrix,” “Cowboy Bebop,” “Fullmetal Alchemist,” “Ghost in the Shell,” “Dragon Ball” and more.
