Did anyone get a Japanese anime sort of feel how it was directed, and the music. The characters look japanese too. Especially the marines. Keep Halo as Halo not an anime, I hate that stuff. And how they do that shocked "HUH" thing, man thats annoying. Its like watching Pokemon or something. What are they trying to get a market in Japan or soemthing?

 

Looks cool cept the Japanime touch on it. The elites look too big in the upper upper body, there waists are way too small, and there legs are really big which doesn't fit the model from Halo 1 or 2. Pause the video on 57 seconds and you will see it is obviously messed up.

 

PLEASE DONT MAKE THIS JAPANIME STYLE!!! It makes it so lame. I noticed in the scenes before "The Arbiter" in Halo 2 they had given it a very anime like sounds and feel. It annoyed me.

 

If anything Bungie needs to make things like that outtake for Halo 2 where the Invisible Elite stuck the marine on his helmet. Its on the Multiplayer Map Pack. 

Nothing about this is anime. I think the reason why you thought it was because there was so many warthogs driving because we all know asians are vehicles whores in halo 2.

nope; but I am TOTALLY gonna draw that.

 

Also; I agree that certain human emotion might feel animated; but that's not an intentional japanese animation reference; that's just what CGI characters tend to look like when given such emotion; technology hasn't perfected that part yet. It might bring up images of Final Fantasy movies perhaps, or the soldiers in MGS games?

 

doesn't matter tho; the file seems to skip about there for me so I always notice THAT part.
 

the elites look way cooler

We're just gonna have to get used to the new Elites as we did in Halo 2...

As far as the music goes I didn't get any kind of an "animeish" feel to it at all, and i've been watching anime for 15 years.  If anything it felt more like the first time you saw The Matrix with a bit of snow thrown in.

Also as far as the samurai look of the soldiers I think they were actually going for a more futuristic look and we don't fix what ain't broken so taking elements from some of the worlds greatest warriors (spartans are already taken by somone else) wouldn't seem like a bad decision (though the only reason they're covering their faces is because it's damn cold or maybe the atmosphere isn't breathable by humans???) 

 Lastly the "huh?" also isn't anime only i've probably heard that sound of akward surprisedness (is that a word) in half a dozen movies and 50 (non anime) tv shows.

 If you dislike Anime that's fine I won't debate that here, but if you disliked the trailer then please find a real reason, I personally loved it.
 

I think it only looks like Anime to a guy who has spent too much time with his Hentai.

Those are true blue UNSC Marines! They seemed pretty "American" to me (which is pretty much what most the marines are intended to sound like, except for the Awesome Aussies).

You forgot the badass mexican on the back of the warthog "la-bomba!!!"

Its still Japanese man. The marines looks sorta like samuria's, and the music too.
 

Dude the marine in the hog clearly goes Huh hella anime like right when the guy gets shot. If you ask the makers I bet they'd say it is influenced by Japanese anime style, not the graphics. But they did do the quick transfer over the snow anime like. Its not completely japanime style but it is influenced. Like in the cutscene before the level the arbiter there are notes of it.

 The music sounds like some Chinese or Japanese traditional stuff.

 

 Lol...Marines...looking like japanese samurai's....

  THIS looks similar to this...?

 You're saying Halo was influenced by Japanese anime...wow...

Let me get this straight..So the makers are sitting there watching DBZ...and once someone goes "HUH" they automatically think, "DUDE LETS MAKE A GAME CALLED HALO" Maker #2 "Yeah man! That creepishly looking enemy going "HUH" totally makes me feel like making a FPS game."



 Seriously, stick to your anime.

You do realize that in "The Art of Halo," it says the Master Chief is a manga-inspired character. I see none of the said influence, but I'm just making this clear.

Doles out the Harshness.
Use this. Know this. Love this.

Yea, their concept artist is mad japanese influenced yo.

 As if there isn't much nowadays that ISNT

 

At least they don't have mechs and such.
 

*claps*  Yeah anime blows. And no, I didnt get a big anime feel from it. Maybe their voices did a little.

you are on drugs

ummm..... No

the way i see it, they are in winter gear.  They don't look to much japanese.  they look more like starship troopers.

 

 In any event, the game has anime influences.  I'm no anime fan either, but in the book "the Art of Halo"  the originaly maste rchief was anime based. alot of it is influenced by the japanese style of things, although the finished product of halo came out unique.

 I didn't really see to much of a japanese influnece at all though.  This is also supposed to be in the past, so maybe things looked more japanese back then.

 

the music didn't really sound asian either. i actually thought it sounded more middle eastern on the part when the elite held up the dead marine.
