Halo Legends is a seven-story anthology - told across eight episodes - that explores the origin and historical events of the Halo universe, in 3D CG and 2D anime format. Halo Legends has been created in the same breakthrough format as The Animatrix and Batman: Gotham Knight, with each episode imagined by a cutting-edge, renowned Japanese anime director / animator, and animated by studios such as Production I.G, BONES, Toei Animation, Studio 4°C and Casio Entertainment. The individual episodes fall within Halo's 26th Century mythology as the battle between humanity and aliens rages on in an attempt to protect Earth and mankind's expansive number of space colonies. The dramatic, action-packed stories feature characters and locales familiar to Halo fans, and episodes range in length between 10 and 17 minutes - resulting in nearly two hours of animated adventures. Halo Legends is being released on Blu-ray, DVD and digital download on February 9, 2010.
