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.

win 7 – its actualy good.. trust the japanese

It's over. Microsoft wins. The OS wars are done.

MS' much-hyped successor to Vista, Windows 7, has received an officially endorsed mascot in Japan, one that is far superior to Justin Long's condescending face, or that paper clip thing.

Akiba PC reports that the premium set of Windows 7 Ultimate Edition will come with a special wallpaper and sound set for a character called Nanami Madobe, voiced by Nana Mizuki, who also played such characters as Naruto's Hinata and Nanoha's Fate. The new OS-tan's name, Nanami Madobe, is wordplay on Mizuki's name and the Japanese word for "window."

Unless Apple can come up with an equally moe mascot for "Snow Leopard" or whatever cat name they're calling it now, it has lost.

Also, I especially like Madobe because she resembles 2k-tan, Windows 2000's OS-tan representative. She's so reliable, and XP was a slut anyway.
