Halo Legends – Anime

Halo Legends Promo Artwork

Halo Legends is a collection of seven animated short films set in the Halo science-fiction universe. Financed by Halo franchise overseer 343 Industries, the stories were created by five Japanese production houses: Bones, Casio Entertainment, Production I.G., Studio 4°C, and Toei Animation. Shinji Aramaki, creator and director of Appleseed and Appleseed Ex Machina, serves as the project's creative director.

The idea for an anime compilation existed for years before there was momentum for the project. 343 Creative director Frank O'Connor produced story outlines or finished scripts that the production houses animated in a variety of styles. Warner Bros. will release Legends on DVD and Blu-ray on February 16, 2010. Six of the stories are officially part of the Halo canon, and the seventh, made by Toei, is intended to be a parody of the universe.

How to Train Your Dragon – trailer

A Viking teenager named Hiccup lives on the island of Berk, where fighting dragons is a way of life. The teen's smarts and offbeat sense of humor don't sit too well with his tribe or its chief... who just happens to be Hiccup's father. However, when Hiccup is included in Dragon Training with the other Viking teens, he sees his chance to prove he has what it takes to be a fighter. But when he encounters (and ultimately befriends) an injured dragon, his world is flipped upside down, and what started out as Hiccup's one shot to prove himself turns into an opportunity to set a new course for the future of the entire tribe.

Evangelion 1.01 first 8 minutes

Rebuild of Evangelion is a four-part theatrical remake of the original Neon Genesis Evangelion TV series from 1996. The first anime film, Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone premiered in September 2007, and the second film, Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance followed in June 2009. Created by the same production team as the TV series, Evangelion 1.0 is a futuristic tale which tells the story of schoolboy Shinji Ikari as he is summoned by his estranged father to the vast city of Tokyo-3. The tearful reunion he was hoping for does not materialize as his father has a far more nefarious reason for wanting his son by his side again. Led down into the underground labyrinth of NERV headquarters, he learns that he is one of only a few children that can pilot one of the enormous Evangelion robots against a terrifying enemy. Tokyo-3 is under attack from the terrifying Angels, creatures of an unknown origin bent on laying waste to anything they find. However, there are greater forces at work behind the scenes, and is the true enemy the angels, NERV, the mysterious SEELE, or the demons held within the hearts of the people involved?

Gunslinger Girl 2 – ‘The Chase’ English trailer

The anime series Gunslinger Girl is based on a manga by Yu Aida, obviously enough featuring girls with guns, and a fair bit of action. In the story, a secret Italian government organization takes seriously injured girls, patches them up with artificial body parts, and "conditions" them to be assassins. Each girl is paired with an older man, and they work together as a "fratello" - a brother-sister unit. This moody show takes a look at these girls, and their different relationships with their supervisors. The focus is on Henrietta who is the least conditioned and the one who ponders the most about her newly given life (AniDB synopsis). The first two TV anime series were produced by studio Madhouse and studio Artland respectively. The first one initially aired in Japan in 2003-2004, and the second one - titled Gunslinger Girl: Il Teatrino - in 2008 (later being released by FUNimation for DVD in August 2009). An 2-episode OVA sequel also followed on October 24, 2008 in Japan, with an English DVD release planned by FUNimation for December 1, 2009.
