Halo-Legend gave us the answer. This is a total of seven animation short films produced by five well-known animation studios in Japan. Children who are obsessed with Japanese comics can go and see which ones are available. It is said that they are quite famous.
The first and second are produced by one company. STUDIO 4°C. Allow me to make a sad face, because the quality of the picture is really bad. Especially the first one, I think this must be done by temporary workers, otherwise I can't explain how such a scumbag can appear in Japanese anime that always focuses on aesthetics. The whole picture is like a canvas that has been painted with messy colors and then vigorously rubbed. The four words are unsightly. Fortunately, the first and second pictures are not the focus. What really matters is what Cortana's sister said to herself - just like the names of these two films - Origins (origin). Maybe only those who have actually played the game and read the novel will really understand, in these three words, what a magnificent and soul-stirring galactic epic has been shown to us. What moved me the most was the description of Forerunners. There are not many descriptions of this race in the game, and a large part of it is just a few words spit out from the stinky mouth of the SAR leader (Actually, I still don't understand why Forerunners does this for the SAR leader. important jobs with such nasty AI). All we can see are the great creations they left behind. Tens of millions of tall buildings, underground relics scattered all over the planet, weapons that have not decayed for thousands of years, runes and imprints that are tirelessly carved on various materials, all tell us that this is What a great and glorious civilization, but they disappeared. Actually, I didn't have a good impression of the forerunners at first - well, no one would have much affection for the race that created the Halo, a super weapon that can destroy all creatures within a radius of three galaxies, and successfully fired it once. But when I really experience it I can see that this is indeed a noble race - when faced with a mighty enemy you cannot defeat, the destroyer of the world, when you have tried everything and failed, when you When there is only one choice, do you dare to do what they do? Flood needs organisms as hosts and food, and they have unparalleled evolutionary powers, and the only way to destroy them is to destroy their food - humans, elites, all species, and - themselves. So under the white flame of Halo, everything turned to ashes.
But in the dust of what appears to be a defeat is actually a victory. Forerunners preserved all the seeds of life and sowed them in the soil that flourished after destruction. Destruction and rebirth are their gifts to posterity and their sacrifice. The Heralds allowed those other races to reclaim a peaceful universe and rebuild their world with their own hands, at the cost of their eternal sacrifice. For them, it may also represent an atonement, although no one is to blame.
The third part is actually a more controversial one, called "Duel" duel. It's also a relatively unknown history - how Arbiter went from a name that represented infinite splendor and glory to a symbol of sinners. Of course, as a Halo fan, this one can be too much to complain about. . . . First and foremost is the overall Japaneseization. The whole picture is a kind of gouache painting, well I must admit that I wiped my screen hard when I first opened it,, Although it is very artistic, but it is too blurry,, Fortunately, I can still use games and movies by myself It's finally bearable to substitute the characters in it. But please forgive me, it's not that I'm weak, it's that I can't imagine an Arbiter wearing Japanese clothes, kneeling on a tatami mat and having lunch with his wife who looks like a brown avatar. . I also can't imagine a warrior who just finished a 100-person cut with Blade Storm on the battlefield and then came home to find that his home was copied and his wife was chopped off. He would be in the mood to change into a kimono instead of continuing to wear armor. . I can't even imagine that there will be a Hunter with a height of tens of meters. Arbiter needs to crawl on it like a monkey to kill it (. In the game settings, the height of the hunter is 3.65 meters and the height of the elite is 2.2 meters), not to mention Hunters have always been a team of two rather than a precedent for a single dispatch. And the brave Gollum who charged up with Arbiter's lightsaber, is this the most cowardly race in the entire game? ? Of course, the thing that blinded me the most was the ghost-faced beast chief who was wearing a huge samurai outfit. At that moment, I felt that I must have traveled to the Warriors of the Warring States period. Of course I can only say that if this is not Halo, this must be a very good martial arts. Leaving these aside, this animation still perfectly explains the reasons why the name of Arbiter became the mark of the sinner,
Homecoming (returning home, it is said that it has the same name as Silent Hill), as for what speed is super fast or a needle gun with a straight line attack, a shotgun with a farther range than an anti-aircraft gun, an elite with a fuel gun, eyes so big that half of their faces are covered The Spartan female warrior, the bear doll hanging on the armor of Thor's Hammer, the Spartan warrior under the command of a Marine, looks like a plasma grenade like a pokeball (damn even the flash is the same at the end ,,, a Pokemon almost popped out of it, and how can I never remember that a plasma grenade can be reimbursed for a Warthog?), needle gun ammunition that won't blow up, will A high-level elite who doesn't even have an energy shield and is dealt with by three human submachine gun bullets. I don't want to complain about the same speechless Spartan II soldiers who were killed by two needle guns. . . (It seems to have complained... ah) To tell the truth, this one is really meaningless, except to explore the psychology of the Spartan trainees, I can only take a little look, but in the end I saw the heroine calmly in When I close my eyes and enjoy the eternal sleep in the smoke of gunpowder, I can only think of one sentence - Spartan never dies, they just miss in action. It can be regarded as a bright spot.
Part 5. . . Damn, I really don't want to say this one, it's science fiction, not fantasy or magic, dear! ! Although the Spartan warrior is strong, he is only human after all. He directly landed on the surface of the planet with his flesh and smashed out a large pit with a radius of tens of meters. . OMG! are you kidding me? ? If it's a head start, I'm really intimidated. . And then I can only stare at this Dragon Ball version of Halo, okay, or Halo version of Dragon Ball? . . That's right, this is a funny movie, just forget it.
In all fairness, the sixth is a very good thing, of course, the assumptions in Japanese sci-fi are still very serious. This is something I really want to rant about. There never seems to be any cleverness in Japanese comics like this, that is, the artillery fire is full, and then the enemy ship explodes after a random shot. No logistics, no supplies, no bomb load limit, and no reloading of such things, a single soldier can directly blast the Covenant landing ship, and a power armor self-detonation is comparable to an Apocalypse-class nuclear bomb , shockwaves can even reach outer orbits, but true sci-fi shouldn't be like that. In Halo, the Master Chief has never had the ability to kill a warship with one shot. He can do the same as ordinary people, lurking, assassinating, assaulting, destroying, and blasting. Although such a person does not exist in reality, it makes you feel that it is reasonable and may exist. In the distant or not-distant future, this is science fiction. Therefore, there are many excellent comics and cartoonists in the Japanese, but very few excellent sci-fi writers, especially those who are good at such grand hard sci-fi works seem to be even rarer. Most of the most famous science fiction writers in history are Westerners. Of course, this may also be related to cultural background, so I won't say much here. However, the attention paid to the subtle emotions and thinking activities of people in Japanese works is also worth learning from. For example, this one describes how a soldier finds his lost humanity, which is very delicate and moving.
To be honest, the seventh part is still a little bit of trouble, and I still want to complain. Have the people who made this film seriously watched Halo? The scientific and technological strength of the Star Alliance is much higher than that of humans. The Star Alliance's largest space station, the City of Fraternity, is 348KM wide and 464KM long, the largest flagship is 28KM long, and the largest human ship is more than 5,000 meters (and currently only one ship, namely INF-001, Infinity), human beings theoretically have no chance to seize the air superiority of the planet under the control of the Covenant, so as to know the military secrets of the Covenant, and it is even more impossible to know in detail when the Prophet disembarked the spacecraft. And I haven't seen any Covenant fleets in outer space, and that's with a prophet on this planet. The death of a prophet is definitely not as simple as affecting the logistics of a planet. As the only religious supreme leader of the entire Star Alliance, the prophet goes out without a fleet escort? This is as unreliable as Obama going out without a bodyguard. Furthermore, if there is really no escort formation, I strongly believe that a single MAC main gun is far more reliable than a Spartan soldier and a few rookie ODSTs. Furthermore, the prophet's seat has an energy shield. According to the Prophet's life-saving character, it must be the technological creation of the forerunners. Could it be that a sniper bullet can kill the Prophet's life? There are also ancient ruins that I want to complain about. . Can you imagine a classical wooden building complex full of Japanese style in the world of Halo? Although that girl Spartan is really good, (I always think of Shaka,, orz) the
last one is the most "Halo" of all, but the plot is a little thin, and we can't be too demanding. , after all, it is indeed an impossible task to reflect a full plot in a fifteen-minute animation, and the whole movie is quite good except for some flaws. For example, the elite who was defeated by the Master Chief and eventually became an Arbiter was a gold-armored fanatic instead of a red-armored high-level elite, such as completely unable to explain why Dr. Halsey fell into the hands of the Covenant, and her age. . In addition, the combat power of the Spartans is slightly exaggerated but still within the acceptable range.
That is all.
